0:00:16 > 0:00:18Hi, I'm Charlie. I'm eight years old,

0:00:22 > 0:00:24play cricket with my friends,

0:00:24 > 0:00:28and I really like watching wrestling, too.

0:00:28 > 0:00:33But there's one thing that I love doing the most - riding my scooter.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46- Got any homework, Charlie?- No.- OK.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49As soon as I come home from school,

0:00:49 > 0:00:54I get my scooter gear together and head off to the skate park to train.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57I got my first scooter when I was four years old,

0:00:57 > 0:01:00and I used to ride it to nursery school.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Since then, I've never been without it.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07Scootering is tricky and you can get hurt.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10I wear a helmet. And kneepads.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14And elbow pads. Sometimes I wear bum pads!

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Come with me, I will show you where I ride my scooter.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22I go around the world in riding competitions.

0:01:22 > 0:01:27And I won my first-ever competition when I was six years old.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32I want to be the best scooter rider ever.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35To make sure I never miss a trick,

0:01:35 > 0:01:39I have to practise loads here at the skate park.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42It's really fun and everyone is friendly.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45We like to show our tricks to each other,

0:01:45 > 0:01:51and we try and see who's the highest, fastest and most daring.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55Sometimes it takes ages to get a trick right.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Or sometimes it can be really easy.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59It just depends.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03The most fun thing about riding a scooter is that you don't

0:02:03 > 0:02:07have to walk. You can just keep going and going and going.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10All you have to do is put your foot down and push.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16Scootering is pretty cool.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20This was the first trick I ever learned.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22It's called a 360 spin.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26It took me two weeks to get it just right.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Now I can do tricks like this.

0:02:43 > 0:02:48Today I'll be showing these guys how fun riding a scooter is.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50I'll show you, too.

0:02:50 > 0:02:55It's really important to me because I love to see other children

0:02:55 > 0:02:56learning to ride.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59We went round the whole course.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03And they really enjoyed it.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Then I showed them one of my tricks.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08This is called the flair.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Riding around in a scooter is so much fun.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18I'm Charlie, and this is what I do.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25You can join the Let's Go Club, too.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Just grab a grown-up and head to the CBeebies website.
