Skater Boys

Valley Center brothers Daymein (9) and Gunnar (7) Hertenstein are pretty amazing. Daymein set a Guinness world record for his run in a downhill race in Pauma Valley last year, and he recently won some hardware (a gold and a silver) in the California State Games at Qualcomm Stadium. The boys showed me some of their tricks at Pala Skate Park this week...

These kids are awesome...they're adorable for one thing, they're really good at skating, and they're really having fun. I had a blast hanging out for just about an hour with them...look for a full article on what they're doing in the Roadrunner this coming week...
