MIAMI, April 1 (Reuters) - Thousands of protesters gathered in a downtown bayfront park on Sunday demanding the arrest of the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager, Trayvon Martin, in central Florida a month ago.
Civil rights leaders were joined by Martin's parents who were making their first major public appearance in the family's home city since a news conference on the steps of the Baptist Church where the funeral for their son was held last month.
Sunday's protest came a day after one of the largest demonstrations yet in Sanford, the central Florida town where Martin was killed.
The crowd gathered in an amphitheater with a "Justice for Trayvon" poster behind the stage.
Protesters called for the arrest of George Zimmerman, the 28-year-old neighborhood watch volunteer who shot Martin with a semiautomatic handgun.

If you've only been skating for 2 days, I would suggest you work on your ollies more. You need to be able to ollie consistently well in order to do anything else, especially a kickflip. So to do better kickflips, make sure you can do ollies perfectly.
After that, try your kickflips with a totally new approach. Don't continue to do what you are doing because you'll get in the habit of doing poor kickflips and it will be hard to improve on them. Try different foot placements, different flick directions, etc, to find a way that works for you. The only way to "learn" to skateboard is practice and trial and error.
