hopeless old men on skateboards

My brother two-wheel carve in the clover bowl at SuperBowl1 in Torrance, California ca. 1978

Trees are starting to bloom. Almost time to bring the skeptical wife or husband by to show them how a skate structure can be integrated into an attractive garden setting.

It’s raining today but we had a little hailstorm a few days ago. I know, I know, that guy can’t even have hail fall into his bowl without taking a picture.

His house is in the village though
He will not see me stopping here,
To watch his bowl fill up with snow.

I took this at about 8 p.m. It was so bright, I swear we could have skated out there except for all the white stuff.

Next morning I shovelled out all the snow and got a little session in before it started raining.

I knew I should have taken some runs earlier.
