If your going to have a Mid Life Crisis, at least invite your kids along. I grew up in California spending my days skating at the Pipeline in Upland,Ca. I was one of the little kids chasing Steve Alba around as he transitioned from bowl to bowl at the skate park. Ah, the good old days.... Now I have kids of my own. My kids and I are going to build a mini halfpipe out in the side yard. I will document the build and there personal journey as skaters here on XTREME SKATER. More to come.
