I made a big purchase yesterday, one I've been thinking about for a couple of weeks or so. I bought myself a skateboard. My son has become obsessed with skateboarding. Naturally between reading skating mags and playing nintendo Tony Hawk games he has to skateboard. Well, I've gotten rather bored watching him skateboard. He'll let me use his board for a couple of minutes, but that's it. So the other day we went to 3rd Lair SkatePark & SkateShop in Minneapolis to check things out. That basically broke the camels back. After seeing the skatepark I decided I had to get meself a board. The coolest thing at 3rd Lair is they've built a fullsize pool indoors. I want to ride in that!
See, when I was in jr. high and high school I was real into skateboarding. So now that my son is real into, it's pretty cool. I'm such a supportive parent in regards to skateboarding that I got my own board so I can skate with him.
We skated for about an hour last night, so I'm a bit sore this a.m. I've almost got the Ollie down, which is the backbone of modern skateboarding. Man I'm excited about this--does it show.
