Nothing makes me feel as good as this.
Getting outside, soaking up some sun, enjoying the vibe and just coasting and carving downhill.
I feel like I'm done apologizing that I don't do anything "extreme." I don't have the inclination (or the body) for jumping off stairs, ollying obstacles, grinding rails, and what not. Even when I was young and in my prime, the best I could ever muster was a sloppy olly and a curb slappy. These days, I just cruise and carve and chill because that's what makes me feel good.
I do wish we had some ramps and quarter pipes around here, though. I like to fool myself into believing I could skate vert if I practiced my kick turns and weren't so afraid. Not enough to get air or do tricks off the coping, but just enough to go sideways and feel weightless for a moment. Even then, I wonder if that would be enough to keep building an audience?
As the season winds down, and we head into Winter, it's going to be tougher to keep up. I somehow managed to put out one video a week, last year, and I'd like to think I can keep that up. But it's going to be when the mood moves me. Until next time, sidewalk surfers!
