I just spent the best half-hour on my backyard miniramp. I was shredding! A lot of the sequences were brand new, and I may never repeat them again, but tonight I had this rhythm... but I wasn't skating.
I play guitar, sort of. I've played on and off since I was a kid. I don't know a lot of songs, I just improvise. I've played long enough that it sounds like music.
I sat on the deck and played my guitar. I sometimes looked up at the coping on the other side and thought about how I couldn't do anything right on it yesterday. I thought about, visualized landing (simple) tricks on the coping. But mostly I just picked and strummed...
It wouldn't have been nearly as enjoyable anywhere else in my backyard.
Why this Blog?
Over the past year or so I've been skating, I've met several older guys that I think would really like to skate. But they don't. My hope is that, by demonstrating that this balance-challenged 46 year old guy can start so late and develop enough skill to really enjoy himself, some of these guys will give it a try.
