For the love of skateboarding

Therin's friends (and brothers), Jacob and Lucas, both got new skateboards for their birthdays; so Therin inherited their old one (which they got second hand for $1). It's in pretty rough shape but he has lived on that thing since we picked it up on Monday. I'm pretty sure it'll need to be replaced by his birthday if he keeps practicing at the rate of 2-3 hours a day!! And he thinks he's pretty hot stuff too-you'll notice he doesn't have his helmet buckled in a picture or two because "that's how Tony Hawk wears his." Well, you're not Tony Hawk buddy; at least not yet....







There are some metal circles in a plastic plate screwed to the back of the board so it sparks if you drag it; yeah, he thinks it's pretty awesome! He wanted a pic of himself making sparks but it didn't happen so we settled for these today.

Therin looks cool, and the photos are great. I hope to see his tricks in action in a few weeks!

"New" stuff is the best!
