I enjoyed waterlogging and filthying up my board beyond recognition.  I hadn't skated in almost a week and the forecast contains no sun, so I went out anyway.  Ollied a 4 stair into a puddle then found a sheltered yet gross area in a parkade.  Some dude parked far from me, got out and stared at me awhile, then got back in and parked further.  On my way home some drunk dude leaving the bowling alley talked to me about winning a slalom trophy for skating back in '76.  It was a weird sesh but felt way more "real" than one at the skatepark.

The look on my mates face when he landed a perfect hard flip
in our game of skate.. It was epic.

did my first hardflip second try on T playing my friend who always does them.  now i think i have them figured out, when i never thought i would ever even come close.  felt so awesome seeing the board actually do a hardflip while i was right on top of it

the aspect where i stay home and get fat because my ankle is all effed up 

Climbing up this backside curved wall down a little hill. Wanted to skate that spots for so long, and finally took a little piece of it.
It's pretty steeps, i'd say like a 100 degree angle, so not quite a straight wall, but still steep-steep-steep. I think i got up the wall to about head height....maybe two metres. So dope. Such a fun thing to do.

Was at the park and saw this 13 year old kid that I see there from time to time. A year or two back he had just started skating and was just learning how to 5050 curbs and learning flatground kickflips. This was my first time seeing him at the park in a good year or so and he did a hurricane on the ledge first try, switch ollied the 8 stair, varial heeled the pyramid, and did a bunch of other gnarly stuff. It blew my mind how much he progressed in such little time. I was stoked for him, but at the same time it kinda bummed me out. Seeing a little kid get just as good as me in such a short period of time is kinda disheartening.

But then after that I played some friends in SKATE and landed everything first try and got a few tricks back that I had lost a month before, such a good feeling. Had fun, landed everything clean, playfully talked shit back and forth with my friends as we were playing, fed off each others energy.... it all reminded me of why I love skating so much in the first place.

skated my favorite curb and finally worked up enough courage to start skating it backside. That shits another ball game.

On the bank to wallride at our local park I got backside wallride  back 270's out, then our local hot mama's at
the skatepark sat down in their sun dresses. I casually walked into the bathroom and started wanking it while
looking at them from the window.

i really never understood the fact of people getting down cause of someone younger progressing faster...no point in getting bummed..some people progress in certain things faster/better than other..

i have good friend who skated for 3-4 years.. was soo good (youtube Mario Matabele)..got flow from a few companies but after a while got bored with skating and stopped..quit all his sponsors and moved onto racing motorcycles.. some people are good at certain things while some people actually just like things  like skateboarding..ive been doing it for over 10 years and honestly suck compared to most dudes that have been skating as long as i have. but do i care? nope. because i love skateboarding and ill keep doing it til i physically cannot. 

being able to skate today after not having a board for like 5 days

The new board/shoes feeling. And slappy's. Plenty of, slappy's.

I was warming up. I got some speed and popped a lazy ollie, the board kinda got away from me and I landed primo. I had a nice little tumble and scraped my arm a little.

Got a handful of shinners today. Snakebites, too.


Oh, and on the way to work the other day, I rode over a little pothole and my wheel got caught. I probably took a step and then went right to the ground, landing hard on my knee. Today, when I was skating, the wound on my knee was still tender. So, whenever I did a trick, my jeans rubbed against it and it was very uncomfortable.

Happy Mothers day mother fuckers.

This was yesterday, but i was at the local park skating the bowls with some mates and a buddy of mine showed up, and i haven't heard from him in months. So yeah that was pretty rad.
