Yes. A thousand times, yes.

When girls can have fun, girls can relax. When girls can relax, they can focus, when they focus, they learn, when they learn, they lead and when they lead, everyone wins. Keep Rollerstan Skating!

No, because wherever you are, SKATEBOARDING IS NOT A CRIME.

So cute, so stylin'. :D I love how calm and happy they all look.

I have a love/hate relationship with skateboarding. My hearing being as sensitive as it is, skateboarding has always been a trigger for me when it comes to sounds and rhythms. I love watching skateboarders but hearing them stresses me out. Wish it weren't so.

I'm looking forward to stumbling up Gleaming the Cube 2: Kabul Knights on Hulu in the future.
