This is me.I teach lessons at the youth centre here in Courtenay, BC. We are so lucky to have an indoor skatepark!! I loooooooooove skateboarding, even though I am not that good at it anymore. It has shaped my life, and helped me become who I am. I am trying to give back to it, and just introduce other people to skateboarding, too.
And now that summer has finally begun, I get to start a new mission!
I showed up at the park around 11, pulled out the bbq, set up at the picnic table, and started trying to light the briquettes. It took about seven tries, an hour and the help of a nice scooter dad.
I warmed up as I waited for it to burn off, settling back onto my shady blanket after every second or third lap around, the sun was out in full effect!
There's a loongboarding crew who meet up there every weekend around noon, and I met a younger girl named Erica, she travels around to longboarding events all up an down the coast, which is excellent!
I stayed for three hours, all told, cooking and eating a couple cheesy dogs, skating, and hanging out in the shade and getting sun. A great session for me, a good excuse to get on my board. I'm looking forward to next weekend, and starting my lessons.
I hope to get the girls from my classes together out at the park by the end of this summer. Every class I teach, there are one or two girls who want to keep on going, and this will be a great way to keep them riding, and meeting up with other girls their age.
I am so excited to see what happens with this!
I need to get onto the poster making!
