Finally skateboarding

Dad's awesome cruiser.

Well, I finally learned to skateboard and it's pretty fun. For some reason, I think it was Tuesday, I just thought that I wanted to try and get out my really old skateboard that I got one Christmas and then after school I got on it and tried to go to the mailbox on it. Let's just say that if you saw me you would probably fall over laughing because it looked absolutely pathetic. But for some reason I was enjoying it more than I ever had when I first tried it a long time ago.

 I have know idea why, but right after I finished my homework the next day I got right back on it and went right around the cul de sac that we live in and this time my mom and brother came out to watch me. Anyhow, when I was getting the mail the other day, I was mostly on the sidewalk, and now I was just riding in the streets and my foot was vibrating so much I just could not stand it and I decided to try my Dad's board. He had these big OJ wheels on his and red grip tape and sure enough when I rode it in the street I could not feel a thing!

 It was amazing and as soon as he got home I told him about how awesome his board was. He wasn't even mad and I kept using his throughout the rest of the week. On Saturday he took me to Industrial Rideshop where he was going to put new OJ wheels and REDS bearings on his old board and that one could be mine. Quick side note here: I think that in order to get a job there you have to have a ginormous gold watch because EVERYBODY there had one. Back to where we were...

 When we got there, there was this mom and dad with their kid trying to get him a custom board. I myself believe that they were wasting their time (and money) because while they were talking to the guy working there the kid was sitting on a board rolling back and forth. Eventually I got some amazing black and blue wheels on mine and I got to ride it around the store.

 When we got home we got to go on the new path that slopes downhill behind our house! No board will ever be as good as my dad's but it came pretty close. Well, that's all the time I have so thanks for reading and tune in next week on TBB!

New wheels after one day's use.
