I started Sk8 Dad because I could not find a lot of skateboarding sites dedicated to the older skater or to parents of skaters (who may not skate). I will point out great skateboard deals, how to tips, and parenting tips focused on supporting your skateboarding kids.
I started skating when I was 16 and have skated pretty much non-stop for the past 22 years. I now have a 3 year old daughter and a 1 year old son and hope to introduce both of them to this great scene. Below are some pics of me skating from a very long time ago!
Hey, Just wanted to let you know that what you are doing is awesome. I myself am a former sk8er. I skated from the time I was 12 till i turned 18. Who knows why i stopped. My son who is seven decided he wanted to try skateboarding. So instead of buying some cheap boad at Wal-Mart, I got hima good one and me one also. I don’t want him to get the wrong idea about skaters and there isn’t a whole lot of 7 yearold skaters around here. So I agreed to be his skate buddy..lol So I myself am having to relearn some tricks and get back inshape. I was doing some research and ran across you site here and just thought it was awesome that there is another sk8 dad out there. Two thumbs up to you…
