  | Pics from the skatepark today! This is me.  Boneless handflip.  Boneless.  Boneless 360. (Hard trick)  Boneless handflip again, which is where you plant your foot and flip the board with your hand and then jump your planted foot off the ground and land on the board. Like a kickflip, but more fun! Older pics...  Longboarding with Travis. From August.  Like my griptape art?  Extremely old, Summer '06. Our own secret pool we drained

| Haha, it's understandable. I suck at both!  But the point is that I try.

| Last time I seriously rode a skateboard it had metal wheels - hit a pebble bigger than a BB and it was all over. When I see the sweet boards my boy has it almost makes want to give it another try... almost. I'll ask junior what tricks you are doing in these pics this evening = always funs getting the terminology from boarder dudes: "Come on dad that's a Japan Air with a McTwist followed up with an Indy/foot grab," whatever son. |

| My skate board had clay wheels and was wood. When we sailed through the air it was by accident. Ouch! DBII |

| Last time I had a skate-board, I made it from a 2" X 6" and an old pair of skates. Man ! You should have seen the scooter I made ! Back in the '40's, it was..... Charles

| Charles..the only time I was on a skateboard it was flat on my butt, holding on for dear life..soaring down the sidewalk heading for the river. I love to watch, though. Its amazing.
