Skaters In Training

Justin has been saving his money all summer to buy a Ripstick. He finally earned enough to buy one on Friday. He has been practicing every chance he gets, even though he had his foot cut into on Thursday! He must be a teenage die hard! Anyway...Jordan just happened to have received a skateboard for his birthday a few weeks ago. He seemed excited about it, but not really brave enough to try it our until Justin was out in the streets with him! Then the dilemna! What to do about Tyler? Quick thinking reminded me that the scooter Justin got for his birthday years ago-- before Razors were invented and before scooters were any kind of phenomena--was the kind of scooter that was really a skateboard with a handle on it. So, a few twists of the screwdriver later, and the youngest skater in training was hooked up! They have been outside practicing like crazy all weekend! It has been divine to have a diversion from the video games, and it will continue to be so until the first broken bone!!! I apologize to all of my neighbors in advance if they don't get out of your way fast enough on the streets!! You have my permission to honk and yell at them!!
