Rolling Along

This young man was taking on the day on his skateboard. I wish I had the balance to travel like that. I bet it's fun.

I'm sure it's fun but not in the traffic or for a man of my age. Youngsters have so many toys to play with nowadays not like people of my age.

Great black & white, love the prominent skater.

Nice shot.

[Francoise]

fabulous capture. I've always been jealous of people who could wield a skateboard.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It does seem to be a good way to travel through the city but you have to be pretty brave to ride on the streets like a car I think. Good shot!

Great candid shot

[Brad Johnson]

Just stay in your lane...

Terrific photo Rick. Like the black & white. Haven't been on 365 for a while. Do hope you & yours are well.

[Diana Moss]

It looks a bit scary to me

[Dione Giorgio]

Hello, Rick. A long time since I've seen you on 365. Everything ok here but we have been on lockdown for the last 7 weeks and it is somewhat frustrating that you cannot go out but we are coping. I hope everything is ok with you too. I like your b&w capture. The guy looks good at skateboarding. Never done it and never will now.

nice capture + color

Aaw, it's one of the sports I picked up when I was younger and much less likely to fall off something and break a bone. But when I was 11 years old, I asked my older brother to teach me to skateboard - well, he gave me his old board and told me 'it's all up here' and tapped the side of his head and walked off... yeah that wasn't going to help me much - but it did! Because he was right. It is all in your head, balance and reaction.

I ended up skateboarding for around 10 years - and loving it! I don't skate anymore, but enjoy watching other skaters, and surfers (as it's similar but on water) as it's just something I used to do.

And the guy in your photo is a natural - his left foot is forward. I'm a goofy-step, where I put my right foot forward.

[Sarah Bremner]

Oh what an awesome sense of balance.

fantastic street shot

[Rick Schies]

@sangwann Glad to hear all is well. Still on a tight out and about routine here as well. All is well though. Stay safe

[Wylie]

nice street shot, though it looks a little on the edge!

Last post? We're doing okay, but miss our regular contacts, both locally and family far away. Our granddaughter (2½) continues to grow and we are soon going to break my wife's "60-day rule" for holding-and-hugging our little munchkin in Boston. When rules relax enough — according to public health experts — we will make the 2-day drive out east, stopping in her mom's in Ohio as a stop-along-the-way to avoid hotels & restaurants and airports & aircraft. Until then we, too, are on a tight out-and-about routine. Hang in there, baby!!

@rhoing No, it has just been awhile for me. This is my last year of working so I am hoping after I retire in February I will be able to get back into the swing of things here on 365.

[Thom Mitchell]

@digitalrn Hooray for retirement!
