Well frankly, I'm glad my co-workers aren't comfortable with skating enough to start conversations with me about street league etc. I'm quite happy to have a pastime which is considered weird. My dad is into wargaming, my grandpa flies model aeroplanes. Who gives a shit.
I kinda agree with the east coast comment. At least in reference to a lot of new york. Though, after skating provincial towns in the north of the UK for 14 years, it's got to the point now where if I were to turn up at a smooth marble floored ledge spot I'd almost feel limited by the perfection.
