Ever since 1989, I realized that I love skating in the fall more than any other time of year. Not having to sweat your ass off just being outside, optional pants/longsleeve/hoodie. The sound/feeling of skating through leaves. I told my wife that behind a good BJ, skating in fall is the best thing ever. I always have a new deck/shoes ready to go for the season change (except the 5 years I lived in nz, swear there's only 2 seasons there, summer and rain). It's the thing i appreciate more about skating than anything else. I soak up the skating in fall as much as i can. Ill sit on a bench and just enjoy every minute of it, when I'm getting tired . I also had a shitty thought, that now i am 40, wonder how many more i have. Anyway, i just got my new setup ready, waiting for it to cool off a bit, probably in 2 weeks or so. Here's to fall!
