Cheers to anyone who rides a skateboard different than others. luckily in skateboarding you have that choice. Too often everyone wants to do the same stuff.. the fashionable stuff. Its good for kids to see people riding skateboards in different ways. I feel lucky being an OLD guy... I've seen skateboards riddin in all kinds of ways.</p> I think its great!

Makes him sound like a charity case! Even if you take his age out of the equation, he can hang at any session.

Like saying “She’s pretty good, for a girl!”

I know it was unintentional, but it made me chuckle. Mark’s pretty sensitive. I didn’t want his widdle feelings to get hurt.

Will, great job. You will never catch me trying anything with that type of gnar factor. Now lets see ya ollie into the front flip, down the stairs and land on a second board. Call it "hippie jump on crack" Or better yet, ollie, grab your board, flip and land the same board! That would be skateboarding. How about a kick flip while you flip down the stairs and land it. Heck yes! I'm going to go put on all my pads and carve now. lol.</p> The flip has got to be more free running or parkour with a skateboard landing. Will, great job.

It's kinda like when you show up to the skatepark and see the kid on roller blades "killing it"... Your natural emotion is to laugh and throw bottles at him, but you gotta respect him for sticking with it even though the whole world (except for the french) hates him.</p> I love this kid.
