Last week I talked about Sk8terdude and his friend and my concern that their typical boy banter would turn into trouble at the skatepark. Turns out my concern was well-founded (although, admittedly, this could have happened even if he had been skating on his own).
Sk8terdude was working on the wall ride at Second Nature when the wall "rode him" instead of the other way around. Thankfully he was - as always - wearing a helmet. But even with the helmet, he came home with a mild concussion, and our plan to head to SkatePark of Tampa next week was in serious jeopardy.
The good news is that yesterday we were given clearance (by the doctor) to go to Tampa.
Look out Florida...here we come!
"View from the Parent Lounge" is a reflection on life as the parent of a skateboarder, typed mostly while waiting for him to skate at various skateparks, indoor and outdoor, throughout the country.
I hope Sk8terdude realized what a cool mom he has!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the warm weather, and tell the boy to stay the rider, not the ridee!
