Make $5 more per skateboard sale or support the US Skateboard Manufacturing industry? I had several different options. Work with a Southern California company who has their manufacturing done in Mexico, but started here, import from China or work with a US manufacturer. $5 doesn't sound like a huge amount, but it took me two straight weeks of restless nights weighing profit v. Summum Bonum (greater good in Latin for my younger readers). Ultimately I decided on a couple of bucks, rather than a couple of bucks plus $5 and to support the US Manufacturing sector and sleep well at night. I've been having really cool dreams since.

I like to bust pop shovits, fakie nolies, 180's, can't kickflip, love to bomb hills, think the nose stall is the greatest not quite trick, not quite techniqye/i don't know what to call it but it's just fun. I love to bomb hills, and love to skate halfpipes, mini ramps, skate parks, etc. However, my favorite type of place to skate is a trench or a burm, or a snake run like the ones which were more prevalent during the late 70's before they all got torn down due to the American public becoming enamored with high dollar law suits for things like spilling hot coffee on one's self and heaven forbid, falling on one's rear while skateboarding! When I was a kid, I couldn't really get to the beach because I had no car, but I always had a skateboard, so I just began pretending that anything and everything was a wave. I still do the same thing. I think I even do it when I don't have a skateboard, but that's a whole different blog. There have to be other skaters out there who surf skate the way I do. Anyways, comment, expand, go off on a tangent, I'm not a real strict blog master! In fact, I'd even let you get away with talking about roler skating if you want!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5436213267907878220-6029140725166601048?l=skatethrulife.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>skate thru life .comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05867756846088811494noreply@blogger.com0
