always support you kids skating
great sport that you can constantly get better at
my folks hated that i did it, and offered no support at all
never understood why i didn't play tradtitional sports like football or bball
and this still is an issue for me today

Maybe your parents just didn't love you?

that could def be
but i always wonder how good i could have been had i been given a little support or had they shown a little interest
skating as a kid is one of my fondest memories

It is funny you say that because we were just talking about that here at work because we go participant in the lame school field trips and I have even went to eat lunch at school with him (until mid school, he would die if I did that now) and most of us didn't have parents that supported us when we where young. I have spent 5 days a week in the heat, after work every year for 7 years and gave up Friday's for prep rally's and Saturday's for games. It sucked so bad to sit there but I knew how much it meant to him. I bitched about it (not in front of him) but I was always sad when season was over. I loved to watch him play.
Now the skateboarding thing, I don't understand it much but everytime he runs in and wants me to come see a new trick, I am there with camera in hand!!

I am getting to where I almost dread Christmas because I have no idea what to get my son that seems to have everything. I need some ideas please! I have bought him the games he wants for his ps2 (and no PS3 is out of the question) and I have gotten him a wicked rail for skateboarding. My only other idea is a cheesy gift card at local skate shop only because I wouldn't have a clue on what board, wheels and trunks (?) he would want. I am lost. He hasn't been much help either. That is a damn shame that kids have so much that they can't even tell you what they want!!!

He had had an xbox before and didn't like the selection of games that were/weren't offered. Isn't that the new on that is so expensive?


Stilleto, thanks for steering me to that web site! That was perfect! I ordered a catalog to be sent directly to him and ordered him some shirts.

Best damn gift ever!

Give that boy a gift cert. to his fav store.

I decided I will buy my baby a helmet and some riding gear. We will be doing midnight bowling for his bday with a few of his friends and then off to have cake and cookies with milk. Maybe some paint ball action in the mix...
