Spring back on your board!

Thursday April 9, 2009
Getty Images - Stephen SimpsonI don't know about where you live, but here in Oregon the weather has been picking up over the last few weeks! It's still unreliable, but we've had some incredible sunny days.

And of course, on those days there's nothing better to do than skate! Just last Saturday, a skater kid even came to my door asking to borrow a screwdriver, to adjust his buddy's trucks. I love spring!

So, if you live somewhere in the North half of the world, you might be going through the same thing. Maybe the warm weather is melting the ice out of your bones, and you're thinking, "Enough of this skating in my garage! Enough of practicing tricks in my living room! And ENOUGH of playing skateboarding video games - I'm heading outside!" Go for it! Here are some things to hopefully help you get back on your skateboard after a winter off:

Ah, good stuff, here in Utah the weather is just starting to warm up too.

I haven’t seen the exercise one before, right on.

Thanks, Steve!

That’s why I love it here in Sunny Florida, the skating never stops! Winter is the best time to skate in Florida!
