A few weeks ago, Gabe (and Micah as well – he does what Gabe does) got interested in skateboarding. This led to me buying them 2 crappy skateboards to ‘gauge the depth of their interests’. That led to ME getting interested again and getting myself a new board (I LOVE it!).

I told Gabe that if he kept riding the one we got him – showing us with practice – that I would get him a ‘real skateboard’ not one of the toys r us toys. He has been into it – riding where he has been able so we surfed around online to pick decks he liked etc. Then yesterday the 2 of us went to Blades on Broadway and got him his new board:

We also got him a new set of pads (he already has a good helmet from all his bikes/ scooters, etc.

My boys have been getting into skateboarding as of late. After a short time watching them, I got the itch to get a board. Went to CraigsList, found a neighbor with a brand new board they wanted to sell… Got it!

2 minutes later – I was skating through Brooklyn. I felt like a kid – how awesome. Can’t wait to skate some more with the boys!!!
