Yesterday, Caryn and I spent the afternoon building a wooden, tech-deck sized, halfpipe for our two nephews. If you don’t know what a tech-deck is, it is those tiny skateboards that you use with your fingers. (I need to find a BMX version!) Our four and six old nephews are all about their tech-decks right now, so instead of those plastic props you can buy at the store, we thought we’d “quickly” make a wooden prop from old wood bits in the shop. Eight hours later Caryn was testing it out…
It turns out that we like it just as much as the kids! Of course I had to do a youtube search to find out what is possible these days, and was blown away by this video, not only from the skill of the tricks, but of the cinematography too.
