Week one of the Tobey Skate Kids "How to Skate Clinic" was this past Saturday. What a blast. We had a good group of kids ready to learn to shred. I got to teach them how to drop in and when everybody dropped in for the first time I was completely stoked for them. Giving back to the community feels so good. I wish I would have started a long time ago. Live and learn, I suppose.
Now, I won't post pictures of children in a public forum so you won't get to see any pics from the clinic. I wouldn't feel comfortable finding pics I didn't know about of my son on some dude's blog so I'm extending that courtesy here. But, here are the teachers:
 |
| The exception to my rule...Hannah Shipley (that's her kid so I have permission) |
 |
| Greg Simmons. DSL founder and O.G. Mempho skater |
 |
| Aaron "Shaf Run" Shafer. Surfer and all around cool guy |
 |
| Kris Gurley...I don't have a current pic of him...help me out Kris! Here is his new Fickle Deck |
 |
| Chris Ulander. He is cooler than you. Accept it. |
 |
| Me riding a pool cue. |

That pick works fine. I'm camera shy.
