This really made me smile. Six years old and boarding for 14 months - we will see a lot more of him in the future.
She shreds! My daughter is 8 and has her own skateboard. I showed her the vid and is out the back now practicing hahaha
Isn't (s)he a little cracker!
Everytime I watch something like that it makes me wonder why we do not encourage it with so much more enthusiasm.
We have one heavily used skate "park" in Stockton. I pass it frequently and you never see any aggro there nor lard arses and yet it pales into insignificance when you look at the facility in that video. But we have six cricket/league/soccer fields (and another two soccer fields on the way) that are rarely used.
Bloke was telling me about a small town he comes from on the North Coast that is a popular retirement spot. The council is run by retirees who sway funding toward the greys and then shake their heads because of the delinquency.
my thoughts exactly...
we have a few skate facilities round here, basic little quater pipes and boxes, nothing that you'd dare call a park.
but they are chockers with kids every arvo and weekend..
only ever heard of one instance of bullying thug losers at my local one, which was quickly delt with, turned out they were a couple of underage drinking twats who weren't even there to skate/bmx, just to cause trouble.. picking on little kids, real heros.
a park like that inspires awe, might even convince me to drag out the old natas and change the sketchy bearings in the cochroaches...
notice the total lack of grafitti in the venice beach park....
