golly!! old men can still ollie!!!

my sister bought a skateboard for my nephew (or maybe it was santa - not sure) for christmas. this is cool for a few reasons - one - skaters are usually the coolest kids at school, two - chicks normally dig skaters more than any others, and three - you just look smooth when you are carving up along the concrete paths and mixing in some flip tricks.

as no one else skates in my family, it was up to me to teach all the nephews how to skate. easy enough - start with the ollie which is the gateway to all skate tricks. most of my nephews picked it up or are at least on their way to picking it up. as i was teaching my young padawans, i started thinking about how cool skating used to be, but this thought was quickly reinforced with one of how much longer my bones take to heal now and that a fall really, really hurts now.. (pussy i hear you say?)

upon checking my emails, my cousin sends me through this link:

here's my chance to rip it up again and talk about how good we were back in the day. if anything the dim sim stories sound pretty good!!
