Julie's Journal
Good girls have diaries... Bad girls have blogs!I think most of you know that my youngest son is a skateboarder. He’s in the Las Vegas skate crew called S.I.N. (Skating In Nevada). He’s been skating since he was a little kid, when his skateboards were almost as long as him. Here’s some pictures I pulled off their website to share. They look like a bunch of dirty street skater kids. Oh wait, they are!
They stay far away from Vert skating. It’s all about the 9-stair at the high school. He’s the one with the long blond hair.
Being the mom of a street skater means spending a lot of money on equipment, shoes, and clothes. He goes through about 2 decks a month because with each new trick he tries, he snaps his boards fairly often. New hardware at least 10 times a year, trucks and wheels, almost once a month. It’s not a cheap sport by any means.
I was thrilled to find a new place to shop for all his skateboards today. It’s called Warehouse Skateboards, and they carry all the brands that he likes me to buy him. Element, Flip, Firm, and Black Label decks. He skates 7.75′s. Independent or Destructo trucks, depending on his mood that day. Bones bearings, Element hardware, and just about any kind of wheels.
Hey Warehouse Skateboard guys! Are you looking to put a team together out here on the West Coast? I’ve got just the skater that needs a sponsor badly! (Well his poor mom does – HAHA!)

Those are awesome pics!!! A sponsor would be awesome for him. Now, tell him to come help me shop for Dylan … and maybe throw in some lessons!

He’d be telling him to get the skinny jeans 
Remember we had a conversation about the Krew vs. the Emo kids. LOL!

For some reason, it’s about the appearance as much as the equipment

That’s really pretty cool. He totally should seek sponsorship.

Kat – yes, we’ve got a game plan, and we’re getting the videos together to send to some of the skate companies.
He’s not the BEST skater but he’s so tenacious that I think he’s got a good shot.

Absolutely, throw a t-shirt on him made with the logo of a company you want him to rep, catch him at the right angle on his board and return to the store with the shots. Should be good for a discount at least! Sounds expensive!

How very cool, those are great pics. Isn’t it too hot to skateboard in LV now?
