skateboarding.......I don't know what it is about skateboarding but I love it, I only just started a couple years ago but I love gnaring that "whippy whippy small gnar gnar half pool 2 foot pool coping section" at gabriel, it is zen (that description is quoted from some dude over from england.)..I love the whippy whippy gnar gnar

england?

yes, skateboarding. holy sh*t. god knows, i'm guilty of trying to find some meaning in it all. probably just trying to justify the twenty-five years i've been doing. 25 years! f*ck... how long has smithgrind been skating?

anyway, skateboarding like sneezing, the orgasm and meditation is widely understood by spiritual scholars to be one of the fleeting times in Samsara that the tormented schmuck is really in tune with the universe. it is not an escape from school, the factory or the office. rather it is a head on collision with reality (sometimes literally). when one's mind rejects past regrets and anxiety of the future and only hears the bark of pool coping. each grind shakes us awake, parts the clouds and shines a little bit more light. hit the lip hard but don't forget to roll away.

33 years of some of the most vivid memories of my life. Skateboarding is what happens when you put life on pause. For me, the moment IS the meaning of skating.

yea, some guy was visiting his sister and said that, I thought it was pretty funny becuase he said it just like that.

"when one's mind rejects past regrets and anxiety of the future and only hears the bark of pool coping."

"The moment is the meaning of skateboarding"

So if I promise to play nicely, leave the guns at home, bring my camera, likely wreck bad enough to be borderline conscious, and not touch anyones body parts without warning them first, can I maybe come play with you guys sometime?
