So I went skating with a couple of friends on Friday nothing major just Mililani Skatepark and the Kipapa Elementary courts. Man I can't remember the last trick that I learned, that I've actually landed pretty consistently, but this is one I'll never forget! I remember Dr. Steven telling me to start at the beginning of the rail because "you'll get the feel more." After missing the rail like three or four times I was finally able to lock in and slide just a bit. A few more tries and I was landing on my board, not clean, but on the board! The first time I landed it, i wanted to make sure it wasn't a fluke so I kept at it and sure enough if things lined up correctly I was able to land it. One of the first thoughts that came into my head was the the YouTube Video where Nobody says " there's like a thing you get in your stomach, it's stupid you know, it gets you off, it appeals to your soul," and he goes on to say "nothing feels this good." I remember going into record stores and finding records that made me happy, but now a days I go to three or four record stores and come up with nothing. It's just not the same doing an Ebay search and "finding" a record that way. The only thing in my life that's making me feel truly happy is skating and the joys that I get learning and landing new tricks.
