I often say Jamai won me over with his skateboard tricks. When we first met, we would travel between our apartments by way of the Panhandle. One of his favorite things to do was ride his skate and hold onto me while I walked so I'd pull him along the bike path the separated our homes. Because of dog walking and generally busy-ness, Jamai hadn't been skateboarding as much in recent years but as started to get back into it. I was probably just as excited as he was when he said he was bringing his skateboard to Querétaro. He found a skate spot and chatted it up with other guys while I worked one day and then I got to accompany him to the little skatepark in the Alameda park another afternoon. He says this trick isn't that great, but I think it is and I wanted to show it off for him.
