I learned today that there is more to the trucks and the wheels than just a wheel spinning on an axle. In order to make sure the wheel spins correctly, we always have to make sure it is spinning on the ball bearing, and not the actual wheel. We will get a much better ride if we ride on the ball bearing. I really want to thank all of the teachers that were responsible in helping us.

Mr. Halloway taught us workshop safety, and allowed us to use his workshop. Mr. Goodall-Heising critiqued our designs and took all of the great photos. Kevin and Wayne directed us and helped us make the best boards we could have made. A huge thanks also goes to Wayne and his company for supplying us with all the materials needed to build a longboard. I have had a great experience, and it is disappointing to know this March Intensive program will not be here next year.
