bayrider said...: I know this kind of activity just comes natural to you but it's obviously shocking to much of the nation! A lot of folks will benefit from the exposure to your lifestyle, I'm glad the media is on to you lately. I can assure you that this story will definitely inspire some people to step it up and get with it in their own lives. Those kids got it, you are a positive force, respect indeed.; November 24, 2011 at 12:20 AM

I was travelling and was on a low bandwidth cell data connection. So could not see the video. The first thing I did after reaching home after a few days of travel was to boot my Mac and see the video on WiFi, full screen. It was such a delight! Thanks a million for sharing!; November 27, 2011 at 1:05 AM
Anonymous said...: Lloyd, how does one get started with skateboarding 'safely'? Which skateboard to buy?; November 27, 2011 at 9:04 AM
Lloyd Kahn said...: If you are in the San Francisco area, go to Purple Skunk on Geary (and 23rd Ave, or so). If in SoCal, look up Loaded Boards. Start with a longboard. Get safety gear, especially helmet and gloves with hockey pucks on palms for sliding on pavement. (You're gonna fall once in a while.) Take it slow. Ease into it.; November 27, 2011 at 1:19 PM
