another year of skate camp and another year of bruises, sweat, and fun. when i dropped jaxon off at skate camp the first day, he wasn't super excited. he had just had a long week of bball camp and really didn't want to leave our new little Louis. but the second he strapped on his helmet and dropped his board, there he was. he is such a natural on a skateboard. every part of his body takes on the role of a die-hard skateboarder. his fearless take on half-pipes amazes me. he was dropping down our 4-foot ramp when he was only 5, and the 8-foot at the age of 8. he is nonchalant about it and i just love watching him. he was challenged to learn something new and he can now jump the transition between half-pipes. big for him.
i'm so glad he had so much fun and he can NOT wait for our trip to UT and the bazillion skate parks that line the Wasatch Front. Uncle Tom has always been so amazing to take Jaxon skating while we are visiting. those will be such distinct, awesome memories for him.
this guy, Stephen, is the master skater. he is such a nice guy and Jaxon has always looked up to him. he has really cool dreadlocks too.

Look at the injuries. Ouch!! This brings me back to some memories of Layne and all his cuts, stitches etc. from skating. They surely love the sport but it really can bring lots of bruises. Jaxon looks like he loves it and is hooked!!
You're right--Jaxon just looks so nonchalant and makes it look easy. I'm glad that we were able to see him in action. I'm afraid I wouldn't be as brave and be worried about bruises! Way to go, Jaxon!
