Broken for a little while


Tonight Griffin decided to roll in on a 10 foot ramp. All was well until his board lifted from the ramp and he SLAMMED into the other side.


SLAMMED! SLAMMED! SLAMMED!


The doctor said that he should be okay in a few weeks once he gets a cast put on to help him from moving his wrist and lower arm. Fortunately it was only a "minimal buccal".


Griffin was surprisingly tough through the whole ordeal.

Oh what a feeling!


Griffin really tore it up this weekend. He is dropping in without any hesitation on the 4 foot ramps. Since Griffin and the others in his class were nailing the 4 foot ramp the instructor moved them over to the 6 foot side of the pool and had them try and try they did. I think next week will be the week.

If all goes as planned Dylan will be starting classes soon as well. He seems to be able to push and turn with ease however he needs to work on his confidence a little. The big kids still scare him some and who can blame him.

Anyway I think we found a good park to skate as the people are great and there appears to be less “knuckle heads” hanging around.

One last thought. I have two killer nephews that go by the names of David and his little Bro Call Option who may be coming soon for a visit. We are hoping to get David into a class with Dylan so they can both hang together and get some pointers. Maybe……… they will have them drop in on the 12 foot side of the pool just for starters.

Whatever

Here is a quick clip of Griffin at the skate park, trying to run me over. I had to do a little editing, because I said a bad word. ;)



Dylan was being quite the helper today digging for new sprinklers...
