My friend Lefteris can do the longest jump on a skateboard in England.When he was only five, he started training for that achievement. He competed in the X GAMES in America. He was the winner, but only in America. He trains every day and he becomes better every year. He wants to be the best in the world.

Everything about Halloween!
Two thousand years ago, a nation called the Celts had a celebration. On 1 November they celebrated the New Year.
Some centuries later, the Christians had another celebration on the same day called All Hallows. That was a celebration which is about a special holy day to honour the saints and the other people who died for their religion. The day before All Hallows was called All Hallows Eve. Some years later the name became Halloween.
The Europeans who lived at that time thought that at night the dead people will come to visit them on Earth. To escape from the dead people, they dressed up in costumes and they looked as dead people. So the dead would think that they're also dead and they won't harm them.
This is why we put pumpkins out of our houses today and we dress up in scary costumes. Some kids in America knock on the people's doors and say ''trick or treat''. Usually the people say 'treat' and they give candy to the kids.

The Wild West
Frank and Jesse James were amazing. They were criminals in the Wild West from 1886 to 1915. They robbed trains and banks. They had a lot of ideas about how to rob the trains. One of them was to pull the rail tracks. With that idea, the train fell down and then it exploded.They used that idea a lot of times to rob and destroy the trains. I like Frank and Jesse James because they very strong and ruthless.

Felix's free dive!
This is the best fall in the world! It is the most dangerous thing I have ever seen! It was a supersonic dive, which means that Felix was going faster even than the speed of sound. It is less safe than sky diving and the least comfortable sport of all. It is the most exciting thing a human has ever done!
