: Hey Claudine,

: congrats to your price! It's alway nice to get some kind of recognition, isn't it?

I won it with the raffle lol. There arent any competitions for rollerskaters that I know of, arent any serious ones in this area but me. They will let me show off and skate at them at least. :-D I tried to get another roller buddy it didnt work out since my one friend I think only skates the flat street ramps. So I ended up joining in with the old school skateboarders. I am very well liked/accepted with the skateboarders!! I'm the oldest female ripper around this whole area. There is one other skateboarder in her early 30s ripping and I was pretty stoked skating with her once. I'm glad I finally found a place I fit in and I never get put down cause of my skates. WHen I first started, I skated at my local park thats mostly a street set up and the inliners gave me a hard time. I also get it ironically from the rink-disco quad skaters who think roll lines are all that and only that, even for beginners lol. I will never ever own one, thats for sure!!!!! I've given up now trying to spread my knowledge to them on how to skate quads outdoors. Least I tried.....

But yep, now I feel special!! I love my new board. I hope I can take it to the street in another 2 weeks but I'm treating this injury as a fracture since I cant rotate my arm still so I cant chance anything too early.

 I won a deck at the skate competition, the graphics on it are so-so so might have to paint on top of them or hopefully I will shred them off, but it has a nice concave in it and it was free! So one of the boarders I skate with put on grip tape for me, wow, that was so cool of him. I'm so lucky!! And I actually was able to take off/put on the trucks not using my right hand, my foot was my right hand lol. So I'm doing ok so far with one arm. But now I will be the coolest skater in the park! Now I'll have to learn to ride the skinny board better.
