So, someone purchased me a wonderful skateboard for my birthday last year. It was the first skateboard I’ve had since Tony Hawk signed mine sometime during junior year (1997) of high school and I quit riding it… cause it had a Tony Hawk signature on it! Anyway, I had some good fun last summer cruising around on my little board. I had some jumbo wheels and crazy-fast bearings.
Deep inside, I wanted a longboard. So, in a fit of desperation… while somewhat depressed about things I cannot disclose for fear of violating my ethical duties to my clients… I purchased a new longboard from Arbor Skateboards in Venice. Local boys make good sorta dealio. Basically, I gather this company started with a theme of “green” renewable resource boards and has now grown much larger than they expected. As an added bonus, I got a sweet, super-soft bamboo fabric shirt. Here’s a sweet picture of me (not really) in the shirt:
Anyway, I haven’t gotten to ride it much yet, but I have tried it out… Hopefully this weekend I’ll have a little time to play.
