This is a PSA (Public Service Announcement) just for Eliana:

Do not bother listening to your father if he tells you (for the umpteen millionth time) to wear your helmet, elbow pads and knee pads whenever you get on your Rip Stik. He is crazy and obviously does not know what he’s talking about. After all, he has never ridden a Rip Stik. He does not understand that you’ve been shredding one for almost 2 months. And that, at the age of 10, you are the Shaun White of Rip Stiking. There is no way in the world that you are going to fall off and hurt yourself.

Yeah. Whatever.
