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!
