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.

Had to finally retire my old cult classics for some new ones. They were giving a bit too bumpy of a ride to be enjoyable. 

Oh well. New wheel hype BEGINS NOW.
