Skateboarders

       Do your kids skateboard? Check out those designs on the boards, the shoes they wear, hair styles and all the gear. Skateboarders are in a unique class all their own and I love their energy. Not crazy about tatttoos' but many people wear them, not just skaters, but simply people who like tattoos and that's what some forget.
       How many times have you heard snide remarks about the clothes, hair, tattoo's and "kind of people" they are. Well who is it that tell us all that crap? People who are jealous, that's who. Why else would they down a good sport? They forgot what it was like to be able to do that.
        When my son was a skater, I heard terms like ride the rail and many more which of course I forgot. But what I do remember is this. Family would say, look at his hair, he'll get in trouble, look at his clothes (he loved flannel shirts ) and he wore Vans as much as possible, another sign of a  kid going wrong. Boy could I tell you things about how that reversed. How many clean cut college kids go wrong. It is an individual thing !
   Judge not, lest you get punched in the face:) No I'm not violent, but how much does a parent take from all of the know-it-alls. I sure would like to see in the past of all of the judge-ees.
    Okay, back to the skaters. look what they have made of it, a televised sport. Tony Hawk for one now has his own child and is still skating at about thirty-four years old, and he's just one. So give them a chance, all of them. It's healthy, active, social, no motors and a lot of fun. By the way how many DUI's have you noticed a skater getting? Give them a break after all, we all need one.
