And they hanged their little toes on the nose

I'm very proud and happy to say that our first event for the kids which is the Time to Hang: Fun Longboarding competition for the Kids is a huge success. 
It was the very first longboard competition for our little sliders here in La Union and if i'm not mistaken the first competitive longboard comp for kids here in the Philippines.
You cannot contain yourself seeing those little piggies hang on the nose on those longboards thrice their size. 
Happiness is all you can see on their cute little faces as they paddle towards the line-up and cannot wait to show the crowd what they've got.

I hope you'll enjoy viewing our photos and feel free to share.:)
