run for your life – or skate

missed waves yesterday, and maybe the night before. but went for a skate the night before with shredder J. dude was bustin frontside airs and more grinds than pizza corner.

me? I finally managed to chirp a couple of frontside grinds and getting some clean lines going.

skateboarding is probably the most challenging thing I’ve ever done. it takes patience, intense focus, perseverance, pain tolerance, and a reckless abandon for having fun.

yesterday, with no one to help me battle the BMX’s at the bowl, I went for a run instead -exploring the rail road tracks and some sketchy dirt roads along the Halifax peninsula’s north end – aka Africville. running for 45 minutes will sure as hell make any shred of self pity dissipate like a bong hit cloud.

speaking of skate stoke – as I perused the Interwebs yesterday I came upon one my favourite blogs -Foulweather. Foul Pete wrote about frontside grinds. hella timing.

just goes to show EBNY, not all coincidences on the interwebs are related to economics.
