2016 has become the year for me to stretch and grow beyond my comfort zones. I’m trying new things and trying to get better at some old things. Pushing my boundaries to discover what makes me feel alive. Since 2016 starts in the winter, there have been some things I’ve wanted to try, but haven’t been able to attempt. One of those is longboarding. The other four people in my house can all skateboard and I love the way cruising looks. Sunday was the first day of sunshine, no rain, and temperatures above 65. The trails were still too muddy to go for a hike, so we decided to go the Roanoke River Greenway so they could teach me to longboard.

the er nurse in me sees an injury in the making as no safety equipment was being used. i have taken care of way too many “old folk” with wrist injuries from getting back on skateboards and falling placing their arms out to brace and BAM! broken wrists or even elbows. good to let your light shine, just be careful. 🙂
I can definitely respect that. You’ll see that in a prior post, we have dealt with brain injuries. I am pretty hard core with the kids, even though it’s hard to know which sports (ice skating, skating…etc) to draw a line in the sand on. I should take heed of my own expectations on them 🙂
Good for you. Sounds like you had a lot of fun.
Thank you. It was a fun day 🙂
Your balance looks pretty good!! :)))
Beautiful pictures! Looks like you are having fun!
Thank you! It really was a fun time!!
