happy belated birthday!

How did you get the money for all these parts? At 12 yo I was pushing a cardboard deck with pingpong balls underneath

Lucky kid! Be patient and take your time with the build,esk8ing is dangerous and your parents obviously trust you enough to let you build one so don’t let them down…do plenty of research,the forum is a gold mine of knowledge. Happy birthday and welcome to the forum kid! @longhairedboy watch out! You got some competition in the making! :wink:

:joy: most of our builds are funded by extensive saving or santa

I’m newly 14 and rocking 10s6p with an upgraded vesc, psychotiller enclosure, psychotiller mount, and very soon, an arbor vugenhausen

only thing my mom paid for was my 2nd GT2B. Let’s just say I mowed about 6 lawns per week and worked my first day at kroger on my birthday :wink:

i sold a board to a 12 year old last year and now he’s killing it on his own build. Couldn’t be happier!

Also, don’t know why i never said this, but welcome to the joy and terror of esk8. Your life will never be the same. You’ve taken the red pill.
