skate journal: bike path pushing downhill awesomeness (feb 26, 2010)
Had a horrible week at work and Friday was the worst day yet. Got home from work early feeling very cranky, tired and sore. I took a short nap and woke up feeling slightly better. I put on PJ Ladd’s part in WHL (best part ever) then ran out of my house with my board, pushed as fast as I could to the bikepath down the street. When I got there I pushed as fast as I could down it. It’s not steep or anything, but if you push fast enough the last couple corners before it ends can be scary. The feeling of flying down a hill rules. I need to do it more. My flatspotted wheels were making so much noise, my trucks were wobbling, I was scared and man, it was fun. After the first one I felt sooooo much better about life. I skated back slow doing a couple kickflips/shove its and talking on the phone. I got back to the top and did the same thing again, except even faster. I walked back and did it a final time somehow going even faster. Fast enough that I barely made the corner under Moorhead. I came so close to jumping into the creek. That would have been so cold! To finish the run I did a kickflip going kinda fast and laughed for awhile about how fun something as simple as pushing down a hill can be. Yeah skateboarding!
