Hangin' at the X-Games

Matt and Seth with a local Chinese pro skateboarder.

The Asia X-Games (skateboarding, both vertical and park; in line skating, rock climbing, motor cross, and BMX) were in Shanghai last week... and the boys ended up with free "friends & family" passes that got them right in the middle of the action! Suffice it to say, hundreds of pictures were taken between Scott and the two boys, along with lots of video footage that they are now happily editing and compiling into montages from the whole three days they spent there. We now have several t-shirts that have been autographed by numerous professional skateboarders... most of whom, Scott was glad to note, were really good guys that are positive role models.

Caleb and Brendan seem pretty happy about this autograph!

Action

Caleb and his friend Matt had some fun taking pictures of each other skateboarding around the church after the service yesterday. As you can see, they are pretty serious about their fun, and are always challenging themselves to reach new goals with the tricks they can do. I was pretty amazed by their photography, too!
