Have you ever wondered what goes on in a "skateboarders head"? Well, I happen to have one at home and asked his opinion about the new water park they are building in Fremont, CA at Lake Elizabeth. There will be 40 water slides and a lazy river and kids pool, etc. Next to that there will be a brand new concrete skate park. There has been a makeshift skate park at Lake Elizabeth for a number of years now, that has a littler supervision by the Park Rangers. I thought my son would be excited about the skatepark, but he's just luke warm about it. Same with the water park. He would much rather "street skate". He has a couple of schools he likes to skate at and a couple of parking lots. He said there is more freedom that way. He said the skate parks are crowded, you have to wait to skate. They make you wear helmets and knee pads and elbow pads. [I did, at this point, emphasize the need to wear a helmet!] Maybe they should have just left the makeshift skatepark? And the water park... maybe he will go ... when it's not crowded....... Next I will ask him what he thinks about the Real Estate market in Fremont, CA and the financial market in general..... stay tuned for the next "View from a 13 year old"
