Longboarding the Bank-Vernonia State Trail, twice in one weekend
Jamison wanted to longboard again today, or was it me? Maybe it was both of us. Regardless, I wanted to try my downhill board and see if that made me a little faster. My Kegels are already on that board. I need something to be able to keep up with Jamison. So, off we went!…

Wednesday at Tabor

Quick Banks Vernonia Trail Longboard Run

Longboarding the Banks to Vernonia Trail
A few photos from the ride. Woo hoo! Google made a video from a bunch of video clips it took with my phone and a selfie stick. Jamison and I decided that longboarding would be fun. The question was “where?” We limited our choice to either Mt. Tabor or the Banks to Vernonia Trail. Because…
