Mark Rivard creates some cool art using only skateboard decks and permanent markers. Some of the most artistic people I know are skateboarders. It's just a matter of finding your niche and doing it.

Here at HarvestBoards, we've always help promote female skaters. At Westview High School in Oregon, girls are taking shop class to build their ouw skateboards. Oregon has always been in the lead in turning out some great girls skaters. It looks like the trand isn't going away anytime soon.

It's been about a year since my family arrived here in Saudi Arabia. Being an active skateboarder, it has been quite a challenge to find anywhere to skate. Skateboard itself I've heard is haram, or basically not something you do in public. So unless you find a private area to skate in, you're out of luck. Besides a little long boarding with my friend Kevin at the Aramco compound, I've only had a couple of sessions at the Ranco Village compound skate park. We've befriended a super cool Lebanese family that live there and every now and then we're invited to come skate. The park itself is pretty old and showing signs of disrepair, but is still worth skating. My wife's student Yousef is just starting to skate so we gave him some pointers and some tricks to practice until the weather turns from hot to miserable. My wife Kristin sessioned the ramp in full abaya, and I spent the time just reacquainting myself to vert. Afterwards Yousef took us to his house where his family treated us to lunch. Wow, talk about some cool people, great conversation and awesome food. Another perfect day;)
As the summer draws near, a few of us teachers decided to head over to Ranco Village to session their skatepark. I'm amazed that this park sits un-used for most of the year. The people who built it are long gone and it's just collecting dust, lots of it. The park is still in good shape, but the ramp could use a new layer. Regardless, it's always a good day when you get to spend it with friends skating and having fun.
