Thankyou ASRA members for donating

FINAL UPDATE

Massive thanks to Jason, Arbi and Kookyfish for contributing great gear and making two boys very happy this christmas (see pics).

You have helped create two more like minded skaters that will spread the stoke and support the longboarding community. Their mum was stunned at your generosity and happy that I was able to teach the boys new skills (safely) on Boxing day. I taught both boys to stand and push in 30mins, including the 5 year old! They will be bombing by the end of the month (we've covered bail points and footbraking too)

Anyone else reading this - I hope you are encouraged and filled with respect for the ASRA  longboarding community. Share the stoke and be a part of a movement that is positive and full of good will.

Peace

ORIGINAL POST

Hi Guys. I'm hoping to draw on the goodwill of the ASRA community here.

The boys that live next door to my folks are 5 and 7 years old. I've attached a pic of them playing with my boards when i visited my parents last weekend.
They are longboarding addicts in the making and love skating with me.

For Xmas I was hoping to fix up their Dad's old skateboard. Their Dad passed away at the beginning of the year - he was a mad oldschool pool board skater. His old board needs some serious work (attached pics). I just want to fix it up enough so the boys can play and keep their dad's legacy kickin.

I'm hoping some of you have some old gear that you can donate to get the board up to 'skate-able' status.
Specifically we need:
- trucks
- bushings
- grip (offcuts will do)
- wheels
UPDATE: scored two real decks (ie. longboards!) for the boys through some very generous ASRA's - just need bits and pieces for the pool board now. Thanks guys!

Can you have a look around in your cupboard/shed and see if you have anything you can donate?
Any condition gear, just skate-able. The boys dont need anything fancy.

Reply to this discussion if you can donate anything so we have a record of whats covered and what isnt. I'll pay for the shipping so you're not out of pocket. Just PM me your bank details.

On the off-chance anyone has a deck they could donate (any type), that would be amazing. It would be great if the boys could race one another down the hill on their street (i grew up doing that too).

Thanks for considering this guys.

PS - I've arranged with their mum to have a chat with Santa so the boys get some pads for Xmas. We had some scratched knees and elbows after our last sess!
