Skateboarding is an activity enjoyed by more than 20 million people in the world. Mostly made up of males under the age of 18 according to Wikipedia. The sport started out in the late 40's or early 50's probably as a spin-off of surfing in California.
If you have a skater in your family I'm sure he would appreciate this project. The pattern is a little over 5.5 inches tall and 9 inches long.
