Tail Drop

I dashed straight past the front screen door into the open yard, eager for something with real momentum! Resting right along the driveway was a wide wooden skateboard, covered in gritty black grip tape as rough as mountain stone. It looked like an unstable arena, so I took a hard running leap and stomped both boots down on the curved tail! CLACK! The back tapped the asphalt, kicking the front wheels right into the air. The board gave a heavy rumble and rolled forward across the concrete before stopping at the grass. Keeping my balance on that tilting deck was a blast!
