Skateboardingisfun -Part 5

Hey friends! It has been a minute, but I finally prioritized getting the last of the skateboarding photos on my computer edited -unless I find more... I am very aware that I am skating less and less these days with new hobbies taking up most of my free time, and soon my daughter will be here! I wanted to get these images edited and shared with everyone before that happens. I didn't want them to go unseen because we all had a lot of great times and I get a nice big smile looking at these photos and the memories that come along with them.

I'll have one more round of images to share with everyone after these. I just wanted to break them up a bit because there are quite a few. I hope everyone that I crossed paths with in my skateboarding journey is doing well and though I do not see many of you anymore you are all still near and dear to my heart. Skateboarding is definitely one of the best things this life has given me and I will never take it for granted -the friends and memories that naturally came with it :)
