OK, so I am an overweight guy push’n 50 who thought it would be fun to skateboard with my 12yo son. Bless his heart, he bought me a $45 longboard from K-Mart so I could ride with him. Never been on a skate board in my life, but after a few bruises, I started having fun. Being a lazy arse, I figured that the only way I could keep up with him is by cheating ! I ordered some cheap crap from E-bay, cracked the shitz trying to make it work and bought some better stuff from enertion. Today, I slapped the bits together and it managed to drag my fat arse down the road with a big smile on my face !
