Indoor and Outdoor Sk8boarding



Hi there,

Yesterday, three of my four kids, and some of their kids (boys) spend some quality 3-generation time out sk8boarding. After years of rebelling against this semi-rebellious sport I was drawn into it when my two sons, Tim & Kevin, started taking my three youngest grandsons out and teaching them. I began to go along on some of their excursions and had a lot of fun.

Yesterday we went to Portland's Dept. of Skateboarding and then over to Pier Park. The indoor and outdoor venues provide different challenges. And that is what hooked me, watching the kids learn and seeing the progress. I decided this is valuable both physically and socially, because a whole bunch of people who don't know each other have to take turns in places without any official oversight. Watching that happen is also fascinating, and it works. here's a few pics and a video.
