　　【音频文本】

　　Dan: Are you sharing the skateboard park with teenagers in beanie hats?

　　Barbara: Yes we absolutely are. For the most part, the kids honestly appreciate having us there. At least the younger kids, maybe the older teens wish we weren't there because we just remind them of their parents. But these days there's been quite a renaissance in skateboarding, a lot of appreciation of the old days, so they see some of us older skaters as wise old sages, and they love to talk to us about our old equipment and how we used to skate and a lot of them are trying to emulate that. More than anything, I think most of us have found the kids are saying, something like “gosh I wish my mom were skateboarding.”
