My son Justin has been buying blank skateboard decks (100% Canadian Maple) from a retailer on eBay. When he gets them he is drawing custom designs on them and selling them to his friends. I promised him I would blog about his little business adventure and help him get some exposure. We’re currently working on his website, but in the meantime if you are interested in a custom skateboard deck, just let me know.

Oh and he autographs the custom skateboard decks as well! If he becomes famous someday, just think! You will own one of his “original” pieces, and it might be worth a lot of money!
Now that Super Bowl weekend is here, you are ready to P-A-R-T-Y!?!? You’ve got all your team plates, the balloons, and the menu planned.
But have you thought about the unsanitary practice of someone Double Dipping in your grandmother’s famous dip recipe? Think again! On average, three to six double dips transfer about 10,000 bacteria from the eater’s mouth to the remaining dip. Gag! Dip once, and move on!
I ordered a new Trivial Pursuit game last week and it came yesterday! I got the 90’s Time Capsule edition, and I already love the categories and questions.
We didn’t set the game board up last night, but we did go through some of the questions. It was a lot of fun, and sparked some interesting debates within our family. I am pretty good at these questions, so at least I have a chance at winning this one as opposed to getting my butt kicked playing the Star Wars edition. J.R. and Michael just rock at that one!
Do you like Trivial Pursuit? What is your favorite edition? I’m looking to buy a couple more, so give me some suggestions please.
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!)
