The amount of things that I don't understand has increased significantly since I became a mother and began to watch my kid's choices and preferences as they got older. I couldn't understand why my daughter wanted to wear such an ugly shirt with pants that clearly didn't match it, and I definitely couldn't understand it when my junior high aged son came home wanting to get his ears pierced. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Why-Every-Kid-Loves-Skateboards/38853 Thu, 06 Jul 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Why-Every-Kid-Loves-Skateboards/38853 Many things are a mystery to me. Actually, anything that I am not familiar with seems mysterious to me. I don't really understand the world of race car driving, for example, because it is totally foreign to me. I definitely do not understand people who spend hours each day doing crossword puzzles. I can never sit still long enough to do one puzzle let alone hours worth each day. But to me, the biggest mystery used to be the world of skate parks. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/The-World-Of-Skate-Parks/28424 Sun, 21 May 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/The-World-Of-Skate-Parks/28424 Skateboarding is gaining popularity in many places around the world.

A lot of people start out at a very young age learning how to skate, and when they grow up want to stay involved. Not everyone has the ability to turn into a professional figure skater though. There is more to ice skating than becoming a professional. Some jobs other than professional skating are coaching, reporter for ice skating news, or a job in rink management. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/How-To-Stay-Involved-In-Figure-Skating/9349 Sun, 05 Feb 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/How-To-Stay-Involved-In-Figure-Skating/9349 Often performed to music, figure skating is an ice skating sport where individuals, duos, or teams perform moves like spins and jumps on ice.

The wheels were the big problem, being mostly of clay, and resulted in lots of accidents from slipping or breaking and causing a fall. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Skate-Bored-/1929 Thu, 10 Nov 2005 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Skate-Bored-/1929
