It took forever for Sam, 7 years old, to save enough money for something very special.

We were honored when he walked into Motion to purchase his first longboard—an Earthwing Superglider.

Sam saved $150 by doing his chores, selling lemonade, and saving money from his birthday.

This man works hard for the money. He’s no stranger to skating either—he’s been skateboarding since he was 4 years old and spends most days at the skatepark. He says he can’t wait to use his new board on some ramps and to get more speed!

Sam completed his board with Indy trucks and MiniMonster wheels. Pretty fly for a small guy! We are stoked on his setup too. We can see him ripping at Maryhill in no time!

    looks like you guys set him up really good. I think it’s so cool to see someone sets a goal and has their hard work rewarded in the end. nice board kid!

    Sam is so happy with his board! He also says that Motion Board Shop is the “the best store in the universe.” He’s not messing around. Thanks so much for getting him set up. Y’all are the best!!
    Thanks again,
    Jen (Sam’s mom)
