Why Ben is longboarding across Utah.
My name is Ben Smith. For my summer vacation, I’m going to longboard across the mostly desert state of Utah. Crazy, right?
I’m doing this because I love to longboard. But I’m mostly doing it because I want to do something for my friend. If you can support me a little, I will keep you updated along my journey with photos and blog comments. I just want to do something good for Gates, and you can help me do it.
—Ben Smith, Age 15

very proud on you Ben, will be watching for your progress
Juhk leih sihng gung. Bou san. (Ask you Dad what that means…)
This is an awesome thing you are doing Ben. We look forward to hearing about your progress!
I live in St. George and listen to 97.1 ZHT via internet and I heard your dad talking on the radio this morning about longboarding. It caught my attention because my son is really into longboarding. I think it is awesome what you are doing!! What an awesome friend Gates has. I hope you raise a lot of $$
