Persistence Pays Off

It was Aidens birthday last month and he had been hoping to get a Ripstick for Christmas. This skateboard on two wheels is very difficult to learn to ride but lotsa fun when you get it right. Aiden told me he had learnt to ride one at his friends place and was really good at it.

So we surprised him with one for his birthday instead and the very first thing he did was fall off in spectacular style! There was blood, there was torn flesh, there were tears...turns out Aiden told me a furphy. He thought a little lie wouldn't be noticed, much.

Anyway, he has been practicing and practicing and practicing...

So, he's not ready for any gnarley jumps or anything and he's no Tony Hawke but geez I'm proud of him!

Cheers,

Cin
