Sk8 or Die



Last night I brought a little project home from work the boys and I to work on. Jacob has taken to riding my long board and has finally gotten to the point where he can ride it without my help. However, the size of the board made it difficult for him to turn. So, I picked up all the pieces of a regular board and Jacob, Spencer and I put it together.

As you can see, Julie and I did a custom tape job on the deck. (That was the hardest part of putting the thing together.) I though it would be cool to add my logo to the board. We also added OLSON to the nose to help personalize it for the boys.

Jacob was a bit sceptical at first, saying he didn't like the new board. But, once he found he had the freedom of turning, I had a hard time getting any skate time. I'm hoping this will be one more thing I can do with the boys that I enjoying doing.

So the new skateboard is really cool. you'll have to get Jacob to get really good and take some video of him doing some tricks. Mom looked at the board to she thought it was very creative. Did you just cut your logo and the olson out of the grip tape or is it added on? Anyway cool board.
