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.
