Discussion: skateboarding:

too cool for school :-)

My Christmas present from Ray. I don't think he likes me much.

Cool present :-) Or did you want booze and chocolate? How's your skater slang? My son built a bit of a skatepark round the house a few years ago and got pretty good. I could barely stand up on the things when i was a kid and am no better now...

I told the kids that I was going to buy some of those jeans that hang down low enough to show my pants. They are old enough now to be aghast at the prospect. I had a skateboard too when I was younger. I seem to remember mine had a better braking mechanism. Now I have the added problem of not being able to balance one legged on the ground, let alone on a stake board.
