TODAY: GRILLING & LONGBOARDING
It started as Meatfest 2003. Jaime, Tommy, Liz, Johann, Vicky, John, Sara & Eva took our spots at the park next to the river in St. Anthony Main. We spent the free day off from work with meat, salads, fruit and fun! Sara brought along her longboards. After several hesitant attempts, I finally dragged Sara to the cement slab to teach me, so I could get over my fears of the wood on wheels. It took a couple try and I got the hang of it. from KidzWorld.com How's the Ride? Because longboards are longer and have wider wheels, they go much faster and are more stable. Longboards are great for those of you looking for an easy mode of transportation to school or your friend's place, rather than a board to practice tricks on. Some longboards are designed specifically for speed or carving, while some companies have even designed longboards with graphics and shapes for girls, who like them because they're easier to ride than shortboards. ... more Longboarding isn't for the trickster, though, some googling resulted in quite a few pages dedicated to tricks on the longboard. Sara finds that it's more of a "mellow cruise". That sounds good to me. I'll be honest, a little bit of it had me working up a sweat!
Tommy said he could barely walk, Liz, Eva & Jaime had the wrong shoes ... but that did not stop Vicki ... she started out barefoot. Johann, took it for a thrashing as well ... Note the pictures to the right.

Also, searching for pics of St. Anthony Main, I found this ... where is that? You know I love the blocks.
