Go Skateboarding Day is today.  Once upon a time i used to be good at skateboarding.  In fact the older i get the better i was at it.  For any Activerainer's who used to ride don't forget to get out there today and at least try a few tricks that you used to be able to do.  I know there is a lot of events going on around the world today.  If your in Fort Collins stop by the Edora Skatepark for a free BBQ at 4:00 PM MST.  That event is put on by the good people at the skateboardmarket.  www.skateboardmarket.com 

If you need to get your kids info about other events you could go to www.skateboarding.com for news on events.  I know skateboarding kept me out of a lot of trouble when i was a kid and also helped me form a love of real estate.   (i got kicked out of so many good places to skateboard i thought i should just buy these locations then they can't kick me out) 

 As such an individual sport it helped me learn creativity and also goal setting.  In order for me to learn a new trick i knew i was the only one who would push myself or expect high achievement.  There was no coach to motivate me.  i am really thankful for the friends and places i have been due to the sport and the situations i was exposed to because it has helped me in my choice of work.  the next time you see a kid skateboarding down the street know he might be your future Realtor or the guy about to start on the next development in your area.
