Waveboard



This is Olivia's new gadget - it's a kind of skateboard called a Ripstick, Waveboard or Street Surfer - the thing is, it only has two wheels, which makes balancing on it a bit challenging. The neat thing is, you don't push off the ground to make it move, like a traditional skateboard - it's all in the hip movement, which is a kind of twisty movement, like the dance. She's getting very good at it, as demonstrated by her ability to turn a circle!

Here's the worring Grandma's comment. Shouldn't she be wearing a helmet? She certainly controls it well. This is the thing Sarah wanted a year ago, when she got the skateboard, isn't it? Much easier to learn than skateboarding, it appears.
