First Skate of 2011 - Henderson Hill and beyond.

Took the Loaded vanguard and big stick out today for a little ride around the neighborhood.  I think that 2011 maybe the year that the Tour of the Kalamazoo Neighborhoods  (TKN) takes place.  If so, one down.  Carved up a lot of fine downhill runs, got some pushing in with the stick to round out the "work out."
School was getting out as the last run was coming in and some kick flip kid (with three pairs of shoes) shows up puts his board down and busts a big ollie. Seeing the Loaded and a Bustin made him pause for a moment...and then continue skating. I will probably see this kid down at the park some day...and he will thrash while i will still be pumping transition. 

hay- helmets make you feel safer- or at least they make me feel safer.
