The Fastest Vehicle in Shelltown San Diego My California

in #esteem5 years ago

Here's my son @bxlphabet skating down the hill in Shelltown San Diego California to come visit me. He lived at the top of the hill and I lived at the bottom. He is going faster now than any car would ever drive this route.

You are seeing two blocks but there are three more above and another below. The top is much steeper than here. Now he is just at top speed. He's concentrating, but calm.

His hair is blown back. His clothes are plastered to his body. All except the huge shorts that are flapping in the wind.

These men up there are dads. I can tell.

This hill was very steep and included multiple cross streets. A car could have come out at any time. I could barely walk up it and had to be careful coming down.

Caleb did this run daily for months. He only wiped out a few times and only one of those times was serious.

I learned early - when my son was about 2 years old, that he is a risk-taker I will never be. If I told him not to do this, he would scoff at my fear.

So instead of screaming and freaking out at times like this, I took pictures.

This is my entry for the weekly My California Contest by @socalsteemit. Please show us your California too!

And this post is tagged for my @steemitmamas who will know exactly how I feel.

That's awesome! I remember when I was younger. Sk8 is amazing.

Awesome for my son, a bit hard for me. You are all daredevils and cannot skate at all :)

Howdy today fitinfun! Those are cool photos and evidently that wasn't the safest thing to do judging by the reaction of that man at the top of the hill! lol..kids got guts!

He was near them less than one second ago! Yes, he does have guts, for sure. That's my boy :)

haha! Did you take pictures just to get some good ones of him, knowing he was on his way? Those guys had to have been freaked out at his speed then, that's kinda funny! But you were steady enough to take good shots so you were staying pretty calm.

This happened every morning for the months we lived there. I just dug out my external drive and found this one all by itself. I am not sure if I have more or how many.

It was extremely hard to watch! But I did not always get there in time anyway. I hope I have a photo straight up the hill if he is in it or not It is really steep and long.

There is another few hills in this area that are worse even but this was every day. I was down in a ravine.

HAHA those hills were awesome! Wish i could skate them again
