Over time, we'll have more skateboarding pictures posted on this site (if you want to send me some, use the contact form above to get in touch). But to start things off, here's a very recent shot of Justin and one of his friends skating at the park here at Fort Hood, Texas.

There are actually 3 or 4 skate parks on this post, but this one, up near the Comanche youth center seems to be the most popular. Even now in the heat of the summer, there are always kids there. I really need to stop by with my camera more often ... and I really need to get super wide angle lens (most of my skateboarding pictures are shot with a 17mm Tokina lens on a Canon 20D camera).

Like I said, if you like skate board pictures, there's more to come .. check back often.

My son and I ran into this problem a couple of months ago when we were still in Hawaii. We went down to the Aloha Staduim flea market to get him a nice black hoodie to wear on the plane, during his trip back to the main land. I swear we must have been there for two hours, and gone to every booth in the market. The ironic thing is, we'd just been there a couple of weeks earlier, and at that time practically every vendor had racks full of sweat shirts. But on this day, they were few and far between.

Justin (my son) is really into skateboarding, so we were hoping we might find something by DC or Element for a little less than the $75+ that a name brand sweatshirt like that would cost us in the mall stores. But is seems like all they had at the stadium were dragons patterns, and "gansta gear". lol, there was even one zip-hoodie with a big marijuana leaf on the back. Of course the boy liked that one, but I could only imagine the phone call I would have gotten from his mom (my ex) as soon as he stepped off the plane.

In the end, we eventually found a booth, with plain hoodies. Of course, they were hiding way back behind piles of t-shirts, and we had to dig through the stacks, before we found a dark blue zippered one in Justin's size. We gave the guy his $18, and were on our way.

We might not have gotten the plain black hoodie we set out in search of, but all-in-all, it was a successful shopping trip.
