Ready for the weekend

Seems like this week just flew by. Tonight we will be going to see the new movie "Balls of Fury", should be a good time. I also plan on doing some skateboarding and will be trying not to hurt myself. Last night I skated my longboard under the West Seattle Bridge. No photos sorry. It was a good time.
I am getting more stable and Love the Section 9 board I got for $30 on craigslist.

Just for those counting I now have 3 boards, 2 street and 1 longboard. All purchased from craigslist and total cost $50. I also bought new wheels and bearings for one of the boards at a cost of $56. So my new hobby still has cost me less than the complete boards I was looking at when I first looked into this sport. I need some new bushings for one of my street boards, but aside from that they are all functioning. Not too bad and I have been getting out of the house.

I have been looking at the Insect boards , I like the Surf Bug. I don't think I need a new board, but its okay too look.

Crash

So last Friday I crashed on my skateboard. Not my first, but definitely the worst to date. So I have slowed a bit for the last few days. Yesterday I saw someone giving away a free skateboard on craigslist and to my surprise it was still available when I e-mailed him. Now I have two complete boards. The new one is a little bigger, and rides smooth. I put my Bones softcore wheels on it and tried it out last night, awesome!!! I need to get new bushings for it, but aside from that it is fully functioning. Now if my ribs would heal...

Ultimatum

Sunday we went out the movies early and saw "The Bourne Ultimatum", a great action flick if you are so inclined. The votes of all involved was the Jason Bourne beats out James Bond for best spy.

Anyway after that I slept thru most of "Shrek the Third" at the Admiral Theater. It was a two movie day, we like the air conditioning and we were celebrating my friend's freedom from his job.

Then my wife and I headed down to Alki and rented a longboard to try it out. I really want one now, they are the ultimate street machines. No photos of me in action though. Maybe later....
