Skateboarding: Night 8

A few thoughts.

1. This was my first time an actual skate park. There were no lights.
2. I fell, really for the first time, almost immediately, approaching a quarterpipe.
3. Eventually I was able to approach a quarterpipe, with enough speed to go about a foot into the pipe, and maintain my balance riding out of it.
4. I also sort of did my first ollie.
5. I took video of that but you can't see anything because there were no lights.

I didn't take a video, but I did get out there for the first time in a couple weeks. And I hit that ramp (that I had the video of last time) for the first time with a bunch of speed, so I did accomplish something new.

So I swear, this ramp feels a lot steeper than it looks. The first two nights I was on my board, I couldn't do it. I would jump off before I fell. The third night I had to find a different spot because the lights weren't on at this one. But it felt pretty good to hit this tonight--a clear sign that I'm making progress.

And since Niraj asked last time, the logo at the end is Element. They make the deck I bought and they have a team that does rad shit like this.
