haven't skated in a while, but while i was on the bus for some reason i wrote out a list of the best things about skating. i guess that's the only way i can experience the good things, is listing them. at least for now. i won't list all of them but the good ones i wrote down were:
- knowing you could eat it but committing anyway
- getting hyped off of your friends/people you don't even know
- progression of:
1) out of your league
2) kinda throwin it around
3) fake it til you make it
4) make it again
5) repeat step 4 ~ 100 times
6) got it somewhat dialed
7) first try/ 75% of the time
becomes a warm up trick
- no complies of all varieties
- devising an attack plan for learning a trick
- being way out of control and reigning it in n making it
this list could go on for days, but that's been the only aspect of skateboarding i've been able to enjoy lately. skating in my head all day e'rryday.
EDIT: this thread is fantastic
