Skateboard

So Ive been riding the bus to work for about 3 months now. It has been actually quite nice. I really enjoy it. But I have decided to add some variety to my bus schedule, so lately Ive been taking the bus up around Temple Square and then I walk 2 blocks to the Trax, ride it close to work, and walk about 2 miles into work. Its really fun walking through downtown. The atmosphere there is VERY alive. Walking through Temple Square on your way to work is kinda cool too.

So anyway, I got tired of the 2 mile walk, especially since it was taking me 30 minutes just to do that part, making me even later to work than I already am. So I started using Ben's longboard, and it was really fun. That thing CRUISES!!! But it is a very large board, and kind of a pain to take on a 2 hour bus ride.

So I bought me a real skateboard. I found one on Amazon.com for $99 on sale for $49. Ive had it for about a week now, and it has been a blast. It sure brings alot of memories back from Jr High. I can still tick-tack really well, although I never did, and probably never will do any tricks on it. But I just cruise on it to work on it now, it is really fun.
