description: Are you a homeschooler? Do you love skateboarding? Are you between the ages of 13-16? Have you found finding someone, anyone, that is a homeschooled teen that loves skating as difficult as we have? Have you been searching for other teen homeschooled groups that just want to get together for trips out, get togethers, or just whatever? We have too. Because we have had no sucess, we decided to form our own. This will be a very relaxed setting. Let's get a small group together, decide how often we will meet (we are thinking once a week, around noon), which day works best for everyone. If all goes well, we will expand this into building ramps, boxes, plan some trips to skateparks, expand our conversations to the art background that goes into the graffics on skateboards, some history facts, and so on. So, let us know if you are interested.
