Yooo. I hadn't skated, like full on said fuck it and sessioned in the rain, probably ever until tonight. A few sprinkles were falling here or there but this is my last chance to try to get a few clips at spots where I learned to skate as a kid before I go back home in a couple days, so I figured I'd get some! It start raining, not dumping but full on raining, after about 20min and since I'm abandoning this deck on Saturday anyways I went fuckin balls out and skated in the rain for an hour or so. Its been drilled into my head that water+skateboard=death, so I embraced death for rebirth. Rain is wasted on the clean, know what I mean? Seeing bubbles pool in the concave and flick off when I popped in a different kind of liquid movement than I'm used to kept pulling me in for more until I was slipping off too much. Not trying to crack a tooth tonight.
Anyways, it was a dope surprise skate to wrap up a lame, long trip away. I love it when after a long journey there's just a period of bliss that makes it all worth it. Skating in the rain on a June summer night is the shit. Get some. Shalom
