This passing Saturday, I traveled all the way back to Lewisville TX to attend the Element Awareness “Make It Count” Skateboard Tour. As with out last visit out here in Lewisville skatepark (read about that here), me and my crew were stoked to catch some of the local cool kids catch some air, grinds, and tricks in motion.
The Element company hosted a great charitable event gathering kids from around the Dallas TX area to come together and enjoy the spring afternoon as skaters signed up to compete at one another by trying to land the best tricks consistently. There were hundreds and hundreds of skaters of all shapes, sizes, and ages, that came through to enjoy the event. It definitely gave me an opportunity to connect with these rebellious youth and enjoy the whole skateboarding culture.

This kid is 8-yrs old and he’s just crazy talented as a skateboarder. He’s going to be a monster when he gets older.

He just did it.
