Congratulations on a great action shot Tommy. I have memories of sitting with my son in a dentist chair reworking his front teeth some years back. I wish you luck. #7825973

Terrific action shot, Tommy. The first and only time I tried this I landed on my behind and had whiplash for the next week. The kids truly amaze me with their skills. #7826580

Thanks everyone very much for the wonderful feedback, I greatly appreciate it. I'm not a fan of skatboards myself Ron but I've tried everything up to pretending I like him skating in the hopes he would not want to skate anymore because if his dad likes it, it must be "uncool". On the plus side when I do take him to the skate park he wears protective gear and doesn't do half of the crazy stuff many of the other kids do. I hope everyone has a terrific weekend and happy shooting.:) Tommy #7828421
