Kotaro

Every 3rd Sunday, they hold a skateboarding class for anyone who would like to learn how to skateboard. Jade got a skateboard for her birthday last year and she's been doing her best to learn how to skate. She has been going to these classes for a while now. I made a post last year of the first time she participated in Nagahama. Kotaro is always there to help out and give some pointers.

Jade's First Ollie
Even though it's only about an inch.

Little by little, Jade has been getting better at skateboarding. She really enjoys it.

I started skateboarding when I was in elementary school. I was never any good but my younger brother Dan seemed to have a talent for it. In junior high, we build a half pipe in our backyard. I found I liked riding ramp more than street skating. I've tried to get Jade on a ramp a few times and she's getting the hang of pumping. It will be cool to see what she can do in a year or two.
