Its finally warming up!

Despite the complete lack of snow here in Park City it has been COLD.  Just so you know last tuesday was the last snow.  So Sommer got me a long board for an early "Week Late Father's Day" present.  It was real nice because the weather just turned for the better and is bearable now.  We went down to the valley and went to Zumiez and it took me forever to pick a board out, but I finally found a good one....even with the "help" that our salesman gave us.  Sommer and I are surprised at the salesmen at Zumiez...they are air-heads.  Luckily we planned ahead and brought Sommer's long board (on Tuesday) and with both of our boards we went over to a park in Sugarhouse.  There's a pic.  We rode around all evening.  It's really a good park to go boarding at because it's very hilly and its 1-way traffic with a huge bike/walk lane to ourselves.  It has a nice goose poop lake also.  We had a blast riding Tuesday night.

After work on Wednesday we found a great ride up here in Park City.  It was on our way to a park close to where we live.  The majority of our trip to the park was paved with smooth asphalt and made for a fun ride.  We rode downhill for a surprisingly long time and then walked/longboarded back up the hill to the park where we had intended to stop.  At the park there are a load of soccer goals and they were all being used by little league soccer games and practices so we stopped to sit and watch them play for a while.  It was real fun watching two games go on.  One game was full of 4-6 year olds (we're guessing) and then the other game was 12 year olds.  It was fun to see them side by side and see the contrast.  The little guys were all in a clump around the ball fighting for it whereas the 12 year olds had some awesome passes and shots.  It was a lot of fun.  Here are a a bunch of long boarding pics and even some movies if i can get them to work!

So here i am walking to Sommer...I don't remember this shot happening but i don't have any other pics of me so here you go!

Here is my longboard...its actually pretty short but it carves like no other.  Sommer thinks it is too squirrley but i like it a lot!

Sommer got going too fast so she bailed and had to run it off.  Silly girl!  You're supposed to stay ON the board!

Here we are taking a break and enjoying the weather.  You can see part of my board's shadow at the bottom of this pic.

No movies still, I can't get blogger to upload the .avi's.  We had a fun adventure and it was real nice to get out and have some fun!
