lots of teeth, nothing to bite

Took out my old skateboard for a spin today

It was wonderful. It’s been years since I’ve street skated so I was a bit rusty at first. I was able to get nollie pop shuv its, bs/fs 180s, and heelflips. It’s remarkable how focused I get when trying to land something. My mind focuses exclusively on skating and nothing else. All I can hear is pop, catch, land. My heart rate starts to raise and some sweat starts forming. I do more and more until finally I get tired and sit down.

And then my absolute favorite part - coming down from the high of skating. After everything was so loud and focused, sitting and listening to how quiet and soft the world is. Looking at the sun lit trees and clouds as my heart slows. Not having any thoughts. Just being.

just ordered two new blank decks and new bearings

Mine is all pressure cracked and is getting impossible to land anything on. I also noticed that one of my wheels doesn’t turn anymore so that explained why things were getting difficult. 

As soon as they come in, my current one is getting taken apart completely basically and the old deck is going to Taylor who agreed to draw/paint on it and turn it into art. I am so excited to see what comes out of it.

ahhh this summer is going to be so fun I cannot wait to skate everyday again

My friend decided that this picture was so unexplainable, he had to officially unexplainify it.

Words cannot express how excited I am for skate season to come again.
