I’d just tell them, don’t talk. Don’t talk about, “Oh, what’s-his-name says he’s so good at skating and I saw him skating and he wasn’t even that good.” You know, don’t even talk like that, just skate. If there’s a board out there that you really want, don’t bug your parents, go out there and work for it. Get it without their help. Don’t nag them to death. Especially if they don’t have the money to get it for you.
Any closing comments?
