When asked why he was skateboarding the new Library, the answer was, "Dude you have to be first at something in life."

I was told these kids today are not motivated!

You just have to know how.

Hi,
If only we built a cool park for these kids to go and skateboard!

Clearly, this boarder is a nonconformist. Or maybe he's intimidated by the better skills of those that go there.

Yes we did build a skate park. A nice one, and Vince Franz also has a company that works with designers to make building not skater friendly. In the end I have to think outside of gravel, but nearly impossible.

The kid, actually a nice guy, was wondering home and say the new challenge, and had to take a spin.

I am sure you remember "Endless Summer." Surfers are always looking for new waves and perfect waves. The same is true of the Sudewalk Surfers.

He stopped when asked.

I know that young man very well. He comes from a wonderful family in Lakewood. He is very talented and creative. He is extremely artistic and is enrolled at the Cleveland Institute of Art.

Thanks for the heads up on CIA. My company is always looking for artistic minded youth to employ. He is taking print making and that might be perfect.
