nothing 100 percent personal about that board. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not 100 percent invested.â&#x20AC;? Spencer Peary, 14, of Baltimore, was surprised at how well his board was turning out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Woodworking is not necessarily my strong suit. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m kindaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; following directions and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turning out how I wanted it to.â&#x20AC;? The kids spend a lot of time looking at different longboard designs and thinking about what they want. Twelve-year-old Ilan Pluznik of Howard County is more into cruising than doing tricks. He hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t settled on a design yet, but was leaning towards a hot dog with a bite taken out of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought that would be original.â&#x20AC;? Ethan Avotins, 13, of Cockeysville, had his color scheme all worked out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to have yellow and blue checkers going down the side.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people may not actually use it as a longboard. They may paint their design and hang it on their wall as a piece of art,â&#x20AC;? Chamberlain points out.
The Longboard camp is part of the Gilman schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer art enrichment program, and is open to the general public. The two-week class was so popular this past summer (2011) that Chamberlain hopes to offer up to 3 separate sessions in 2012. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for those grades 7 and up, and runs daily from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Safety rules in the design and woodworking shop. The kids wear safety glasses and show proper respect for the sharp-bladed equipment. Out on the street, however, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a different story. The kids all say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten their share of bumps and bruises while longboarding. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of scratches,â&#x20AC;? says Peary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any broken bones. â&#x20AC;Ś My mom would kill me.â&#x20AC;? â&#x153;§ Gilman Summer Enrichment: www.gilman.edu/program/ summer-programs/ .
