oldbloke's mutterings

I'd tighten up the truck rubbers to make it harder for Jack to turn, I think. Or fit some stiffer ones.
I suspect a full size board would be just as good though, if not better. He could do the lying/sitting thing on it. But if I'm getting one for me he can use that. I'll only be getting something cheap anyway.

Pads, yes. A must. I have a thumb that tells me when bad weather's coming, thanks to a skateboard accident. I'll probably want them while I'm learning to ride my uni, too.

Of course, due to Vandals, the skatepark in Tod is being dismantled on H&S grounds.
