6. My Plan,
Is to learn how to Turn and Stop and also learn other basic skills,
and I'm planning to
- start off with an instructor or get Mr Wyers or Mr Mann to help me with
learning how to stop and turn
- then go off on my own and try and do it by myself staying on small hill
- then keep practising till I’m confident enough in myself
- to go to the top of the summit hill and try and get to the bottom without
stacking.
