My first day on the Information Super Highway was Dec. 4th, 1994. I didn't find your Skategeezer site till around 1999. Hard to believe that many years have passed. But then again... time flies when you're havin' fun on your skateboard(s) like many of us do, such as it were. SK8/SURF 4 LIFE! Sumdumsurfer     Rate post 254132 !

On 10/26/2006 Michael Brooke wrote in from Canada  (65.95.nnn.nnn) Man, it's odd to see where things started....I've been on the internet since the birth of my daughter - that was 12 years ago. 1994. The skategeezer homepage is 11 years old.     Rate post 254084 !

A few of the postings in this forum near that day were about kids and skateboarding, parents being supportive, and MB's kids. That brought back memories. Why May 14, 2003? On that day in Ottawa there was a skateboard comp in Ottawa put on by KC Projects out of Montreal. The night before was a demo by some of the Birdhouse team, at least those that hadn't gone straight to the bars in the market. It was also my son's 5th birthday, his first pro demo, his first skateboard competition, and his first top 20 finish (there were 20 competitors). The entry fee for the demo was fundraising for the March of Dimes. I think the total haul was well over $10,000. I remember it being a very positive experience. The lasting impression of skateboarding as a supportive activity is probably to blame for me posting occasionally to forums like this one. The Birdhouse pros were nice enough to find a deck and get it autographed and give it to a little kid they'd never met before and likely never would again. Two local shops gave him a ton of swag and one of them invited him to join the team. Here's a picture from Jared's run at the comp. Some skate OLD-school, some NEW-school, but this run is all PRE-school ;-).     Rate post 253978 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) Ten Years...
