80/365 - Stranger 32/50 - Christian - a photo on Flickriver

Do you remember what you were into or doing at age 8 years old? Maybe you were in to the Transformers, or maybe the something new from Nintendo. How about skipping rocks on a lake or playing Hide & Go Seek? I will tell you one person who can forget what he was doing at age 8. It's this guy right here. Christian!! He was busy doing Frontside Ollies!

Meet Christian, the 8 year old super kid! "Super" is not fair. When we think of the word super we usually think of a super hero. You know like Batman. Batman is not super! He purchased whatever makes him exciting. Christian on the other hand possesses natural born skills. He is a freak on a skate board. I guess that's why he hangs with Team Demon Seed.

Ok! Ok! Allow me to first back it up a little and explain how I was so lucky to meet such a talented kid. Today, I was hanging with one with my friends, and he asking if I wanted to go over to one of his friends, Bill's house. He later mentioned Bill had a large bowl built in his backyard and a few skateboarders were meeting up. So, I was like Hell - - - Sorry, Christian - - - Heck Yeah, I want to tag along to Bill's house.

After a few minutes there were about 10 skateboarders doing their thing in the bowl. Then all of sudden this miniature phenom entered the scene. He was either hanging with the bunch or schooling some them. The sight was so amazing, that I think I saw a tear on his father, Tom's cheek. LOL! No, seriously it was just sweat from this harsh humid evening.

Christian keep doing your 180's, 50-50's, Frontside-s and whatever whatchaamacallit tricks you do. You are truly awesome!!!

More images of Christian will be posted soon.

Thank you everyone for your comments and feedback.
