My hands are cold

The summer has come and gone and fall brings beautiful skies and crisp mornings. In Colorado, October marks the beginning of ski season as resorts aggressively race for “first to open” bragging rights and we all await the first huge dump. It’s a bitter sweet time for me as thoughts of snowboarding start interrupting my thoughts of skateboarding. I am trying to take advantage of every opportunity to skate because I know the end is near. This morning was one such opportunity. The temp was all of 32 degrees as I kicked through the empty streets of Vail, switching my coffee cup from hand to hand to help de-thaw my fingers. What a great way to start the day. Hope you all are taking advantage as well, spring is miles away.

Never to young

This is Mia. Sponsors take note? Thanks for sharing. See longboarding is for everyone.

I love my job, but he loves his more.

I have a freind that works for a company that gives out free kegs of beer...........and I thought I had a great job.

I'm Back

It’s been a while since I have posted but with good reason, the weather has been fantastic and I would rather be out skating the posting. I just returned from a trip to Portland Oregon to see my daughter. We started the weekend with a great BBQ and an evening of family style longboarding. I had the chance to send some boards out ahead of time so we had plenty to go around. Our host had a freshly paved road in front of his house with little to no traffic. It was a great chance for kids and adults that have never had the opportunity to longboard to give it a go. I think we made believers out of them. Next I was off to Sisters Oregon. We stayed in a gated resort called Black Butte. Although Black Butte rules made it clear they do not want skate boarders or skate boarding anywhere on the property we managed to sneak in several dusk runs without offending anyone. The trip ended with my daughter and me skating around the beautiful city of Portland a very skate friendly place. All in all a rock’n good time. Its always nice to be back in the Rockies though. Thanks for the Pics P-dog.
