Ripsticks and Scooters

The boys had fun trying out there xmas presents in the local park. For those older than 20, ripstiks (sic) are propelled by sideways motion of the board which is why Alex has his bum in the air. Unfortunately Liam decided to present himself as an ostacle on the skateboard ramps which led to yet more hair-raising moments. He also did not understand how steep the ramps were; so fell down a few. No grassy landings in urban skateboard land. I was pleased to see Adrian mastered the device more easily than Alex, as the latter has first born syndrome when it comes to any sporty endeavour.
