Expensive Hobbies
I know, I know. I already have a skateboard. But that one's a longboard. I needed a skateboard that I could do sharper turns with. Hence, my new Rick Howard Girl skateboard. How badass is this? It's a Canadian Girl! I love it! I'm obsessed with it. The best part is that I got Rich to buy one too and so now we are going to become hardcore sk8rs. [Insert devil horns and an obnoxious tongue here.] This summer is the summer of frisbee and skateboarding. I'm gonna start doin rails and shit. Then I'm gonna ride my skateboard to work everyday...and instead of being known as the girl who rides her bike to work, I will be the girl who skateboards to work. Sweet.
My bf used to be a serious skater, so the other day I tried to get him to teach me how to ollie. I think i got like 3 feet of air, but that was me without the board. I flipped horizontal mid-air, and then came down HARD square on the right side of my body. My arm and butt hurt for a while, but I'll tell you, it was pretty frickin funny.
I ::heart:: girl. I read their website almost every day (www.crailtap.com).
