He's quite good!..Has a lot of videos on the internet....At 14, he "towers" over me (I have to look "up" to see what he's saying....Has broke 5 boards so far...I'll be happy when he gets tired of skateboarding...so far, no broken bones or anything, just scrapes & some cuts...his legs & calves are so muscular...as far as "pads"...he says they are for "sissies"....like wearing a dress to skateboard...
