The Ripstick

Mom bought Madison and Tanner ripsticks for Christmas, and we had yet to figure them out-until this weekend.  They are crazy hard skateboards that I'm not sure I would ever master.  But, Madison hopped up on that thing and had it down like a pro before long.  We decided her short height gave her the center of gravity advantage.  She looked like a skater dudette.  Tanner struggled a little more than she did.  First getting frustrated because she was so successful, and then there was a moderate crash on the asphalt that set him back.  Finally, he took the baby steps needed to get his balance and maintain it down the driveway. Mom helped with a genius bit of barstool placement (you can see them in the background of the pics). He was so proud.   Grady had a razor to scoot around on during all this crazy ripsticking, but the important "ready, set, GO" job was way more important.




Yay ripsticking!
