James Topham i have 3 girls and 1 boy. My son loves team sports but hasn't taken much of a shine to skating. He can ride around at skateparks but the passion isn't there. As for my daughters, I figure I will probably get at least 1 out of the 3 of them. My son is only 8 still and I think its too frustrating for him.

Ben, as much as I like your skateboarding I do respect your "regular" job. The kitchen you showed is super nicely done. I've lived in many places in my life and moved many times so I can appreciate good construction work. And looking at your current videos I can say you have made huge progress in skating since 2017. As a 44-year-old beginner ( three months of skating now ) I find it encouraging. Keep it up!

I subbed to your carpentry channel when I needed to learn how to patch a hole in my basement, saw your patreon link, noticed it mentioned skateboarding, and then stumbled on your other channel... now I’m subbed to both 😅 I love this type of content. I’ve got a growing family right now and there’s something really inspiring about a guy who has a full time job, a family of six, and still manages to cultivate a hobby or two. I’m not even into skateboarding, I’m just happy to see somebody out there who’s living proof that I can manage all of this and not go insane. Aspirational stuff :) Anyway, keep up the good work. When I have a couple of bucks to spare I’ll try to sub to your patreon 👍🏻 If you were anywhere near Minnesota I’d hire you to remodel my basement.
