Skating

This year I've taken up the awesome sport of skateboarding. I never had a skateboard as a kid. It was deemed "too dangerous" "you'll break an arm" and "it's for boys". So now I'm giving it a go. I'm not great at it yet. But my goal is to be able to drop into a half pipe. I took a wicked spill on Saturday and I'm a bit sore (falling hurts more when you're older!) but I love it. I ride an Alien Workshop deck which rocks! And I've also picked up an Arbor longboard from the shop in Venice. It's great for carving and travelling. I can't Ollie yet...but I'll get it, I swear.

Here's a picture of my deck. It's sweet and I even got matching red trucks because I'm that COOL! :)
