These days, it can be tough to find real quality time with your family.
But one skate mom found a cool way to connect with her kids - by picking up a skateboard herself.
Orbee Roy has always been her kids' biggest fan, cheering them on as they spent hours skating at their local park.
But after a while, just watching from the sidelines didn’t feel like enough. She wanted to join in and really share what they loved.
So, she decided to give skateboarding a try.
It wasn’t easy at first. The idea of learning something totally new - especially something as physical as skating was a little scary.
But Roy figured the best way to really bond with her kids was to step into their world.
She picked up her first board, took a deep breath, and got rolling.
