New park over Summer (downunder) which has been rad.
Lights haven't been sorted yet and daylight savings about to fuck up all the post work/kids in bed skate times, which is definitely not rad.
I'm quoting you for the username. Yesterday night I went to the local spot to skate a bit. Given that I live in a small town, the spot proper is just an old train station with smooth concrete, good enough to go back and forth, with a box and a couple of rails. One of the sides of the station was covered in horseshit! I found out that there was a horserider event in the weekend, so some of the horsemen just took their mounts to the station. Obviously, no one cleaned. The marching band was practicing on the other side of the station, so I just went elsewhere until they band left. I noticed there was horseshit all over town.
Once I was back, there were actually two guys playing chess there. I asked if I could go next, then just skated until it was my turn. They actually called me by name when they were done, which surprised me. Such is the small town life. I got my ass handed to me, then I noticed one of them was full of chess piece tattoos, like bishops and towers and horses. That was very amusing. They gave me pointers and now I'm trying to learn online. The chess notation is really alien to me.
