Biff Biff, Biff!
Were your ears ringing alot this Holiday Weekend? They should've been. We were talking incessantly about you in SoCal! Seriously, Duke, Lee & I got together & hit a couple parks yesterday. We are ALL very anxious to meet you & skate with you. When I told Brother Duke that you'd never seen another live vert skater before he was as Shocked as I was. Of course, 2 1/2 years ago, I was in the same pace you are. You're in a for a Treat, Bro. As are we!
Awesome video, BTW. Your skating looks better all the time. I can't say enough about Raven's video editing skills. If the blading thing doesn't work out for him, he can always give Spielberg some competition!
Just over 3 weeks til we're hitting pools together. Epic-ness cometh soon!
PEACE...Jay

Thanks! I'll tell Raven you liked his editing skills.

As to 'cool', I can't be sure. I think he appreciates what I do and the fact that I am like a friend to him.

I know he thinks I'm cooler than all of his friends' dads.

 Great skating. It was nice to see the one kid hit the bowl. Is there a reason the inliners don't skate bowls?

Yes. It is because :

1. They have so much peer pressure that "street is where it is at".

2. Since they never wear pads, they are most likely afraid of getting hurt!

I will say though, that there are at least 4 of these guys who will hit the bowl, and kill it! I'll try to get them on film next time.

That kid Shannon is a girl... which I didn't figure out for bout 10 secs. She ripped the bowl. Style these daze is wearing your sister's stretch jeans, so it's hard to discern, even to the experienced eye. The white skates gave it away.
My park this yr is filled w/inliners like never before.... WHY??? cuz their fav park requires full pads, sans wrist/gloves. Funny kids, toooo cool, I guess, but think they all have buns of steel. My feeling is street skating requires full pads and and a cup. My only real gripe is the waxing of coping...it's invisible death. They're sliding on plastic, fer crying out loud. And for $300, they don't last very long before you're doin repairs. nuff said.
Skating is skating, I'm no hater
PEACE, LOVE AND INDEPENDENCE!

My son's friends thought I was the coolest mom, but adolescent boys generally don't wanna know or hang out with their parents. He skateboarded and inlined. Glad at the time his gang skated everything, so we hit a lot of parks and street spots. Great way to raise your kids, I miss those times....sniff sniff.
Who picks the music? Very cool, great filming... your son's quite talented. How old is he? When did he start skating and videography? Keep it coming, thx!

We have skated together for some time. Raven started out on a skateboard as well. I caught the skateboard at a demo years back. He has filmed since early 2006 and maybe a bit longer than that. Not totally sure. He chooses most of the music and I sometimes get to pick one or two. He is now 17.

I'll tell him you like his skills, and I too will miss it when we stop skating together.

I thought I replied to this, but evidently not!

I cannot say my ears were ringing, but I am totally amped to meet everyone! I must change my previous statement. I have seen some other vert skaters, as a vert skater got me into this sport 20 years ago. But, since then, I've only met derby girls who really didn't try anything other than carving, until I skated with Tim the other day.

I've never met anyone, other than my mentor Allan, who I could learn from or have a true quad session with since then. Hopefully, with a little encouragement, I'll get Tim up to speed! :D
