You know Randy, I think that is where the lure may be, after all these years, horrible nightmares, visions of horror, there is just something about beating that one ride, even years after the fact...I failed miserably, got back up tried it again, contemplated it when I was too beat up to even ride it, suffered for weeks...And decided perhaps it was the board, too fancy for a beginner maybe?...Well... |

I went to W/mart for a cheap board, (just to see), The Tony Hawk pro model (25.00) was junk, wouldn't even roll...Went to a sports store bought a longboard (plastic trucks, 60.00) this worked but felt huge and went really fast, although quite stable...Thinking thats not a real skateboard however because of its size, Went back to W/mart...The kryptonics board (25.00) had nice wheels,But board was fish looking and felt dangerous, So Jenn put the wheels on the Tony board...Effectively making another Sims pink fly board for 50.00...Well I crashed again (last night), This time hurt both wrists, left elbow, back of right leg, and possibly broke a rib, cause it hurts like hell...I have come to the conclusion nice boards, cheap boards, Large boards, (And in Randy's case Small boards) all command a serious amount of respect...Now Jenn has 3 boards, I will get one of these to ride for a sustained period of time, once I heal up a little. |

After getting some safety stuff may I add, including a helmet...Cause crashing really sucks. |
| jennifer:
I feel much better today, apparently I am not broken anywhere, took a handful of advil, snaped a couple Slim Jim's, and good to go... |
| jennifer:
My plan was to visit every state and touch the wheels of my skateboard to the local skateparks...Well aparently skatboarding is not cool anymore or something, can't find any parks, So will just hit every state (lower 48 Us.) If I can, and then Jenn should be pretty good at it I am hoping...After my rough start, I did 3 states today Co...Ks...And Mo. |
