Last summer, one of the students working in my office brought in his older brother's Dominion board from the 80s - I was ALL OVER that, cruising the parking lot. Doing slides, fast-plants, manuals, shove-its and hospitals. Hands-down, one of the best day of the summer!
Last weekend, i took my son to the skatepark for the first time this year. He brought his scooter and skateboard (I was lobbying - hard - for him to just bring his board). He mostly rode his scooter because he's most comfortable on it. At one point, he laughed and said I should jump on his board and chase him around the park. Okay!
Wasn't 15 minutes and he was chasing me! LOL What an amazing day! Anyway... I stopped in at the shop down the street from me, this afternoon. Bought a complete! Mother board, Indies, Direct wheels (made in Toronto) and reds. Hitting up the park tomorrow. I can hardly wait!
very cool story man...
my eldest is only 2.5 years...but i hope i have a similar experience in a few years time.

I honestly don't think I would've cared if the wee-man wasn't in to it - but I have to say - I'm super stoked, he is! I'm grateful to have something like this to share with him. CAUSE HE ISN'T GETTING MY PEDALS!!!
If any of you miss extreme sports games, please consider chipping in a few bucks to this kickstarter. I know, rollerblading is gay, but it is also fun. And this has potential to be a great game considering all that's been done up to this point has been done by one dude. Pretty crazy. Takes dedication.
I think i will order my son and myself a Skateboard in the next days. I'm still undecided if i will go with an old school (Powell Peralta Like) Cruiser or the 08/15 twin tip thingy. My riding Time was 24 years ago so I'm a bit undecided yet.
