BOOOMPFF. My first skateborad

In Native today, hearing tales of people's very first skateboards and "BOOOMPFF" is the best ever description of suddenly getting one. Turns out everyone could remember; where it came from, colours, graphics, trucks, stickers. Okay, even if most of them came from Argos or £10 from Transit. "I went to my friends street, did my first proper ollie and broke my board and started crying". Brilliant tales of starting out. Just the sort of everyday happenings we take for granted but mean a great deal. Just the sort of tales we'd like to hear more of for PlayToon. If you got a photo of your first board (and, even better, you with it) or would like to jot down a few lines about your first board, when you got it, what happened, it would be great to hear from you. email photos or your first board tales so we can weave your story into PlayToon for the exhibition. email address michael.jeffries@northumbria.ac.uk. Big thank you to everyone who was in Native today. mike
