This Is What Happens When A Mom Takes Lessons From A Pro Skateboarder

Mom of three Jennifer Latch had never been on a skateboard until pro-skater Aaron Kyro agreed to give her a lesson.

1. When Jennifer Latch decided that she wanted to learn how to skateboard she wasn’t going to let being a mom of three stop her.

Latch tracked down pro skateboarder (and YouTuber) Aaron Kyro and convinced him to teach her how to ride.

2. The two met up near San Francisco’s Civic Center, where Jennifer made a determined student.
