I Love Doing Tricks on My Scooter! The Let's Go Club

This is the Let's Go Club. But mini!

Expect making, exploring, super-sizing, dancing,

fact-finding and laughing.

We've only got a few minutes,

so get ready for more fun

from the Let's Go Club.

Hi, I'm Charlie. I'm eight years old,

and my favourite things to do is ride my bike,

play cricket with my friends,

and I really like watching wrestling, too.

But there's one thing that I love doing the most - riding my scooter.

-Got any homework, Charlie?

-No.

-OK.

As soon as I come home from school,

I get my scooter gear together and head off to the skate park to train.

I got my first scooter when I was four years old,

and I used to ride it to nursery school.

Since then, I've never been without it.

Scootering is tricky and you can get hurt.

I wear a helmet. And kneepads.

And elbow pads. Sometimes I wear bum pads!

Come with me, I will show you where I ride my scooter.

I go around the world in riding competitions.

And I won my first-ever competition when I was six years old.

I want to be the best scooter rider ever.

To make sure I never miss a trick,

I have to practise loads here at the skate park.

It's really fun and everyone is friendly.

We like to show our tricks to each other,

and we try and see who's the highest, fastest and most daring.

Sometimes it takes ages to get a trick right.

Or sometimes it can be really easy.

It just depends.

The most fun thing about riding a scooter is that you don't

have to walk. You can just keep going and going and going.

All you have to do is put your foot down and push.

Scootering is pretty cool.

This was the first trick I ever learned.

It's called a 360 spin.

It took me two weeks to get it just right.

Now I can do tricks like this.

Today I'll be showing these guys how fun riding a scooter is.

I'll show you, too.

It's really important to me because I love to see other children

learning to ride.

We went round the whole course.

And they really enjoyed it.

Then I showed them one of my tricks.

This is called the flair.

Riding around in a scooter is so much fun.

I'm Charlie, and this is what I do.

You can join the Let's Go Club, too.

Just grab a grown-up and head to the CBeebies website.

There's songs to sing along to, things to make and do,

and CBeebies Radio, too!

Remember, we're the club that never closes.
