This may be the final post of this blog.
A number of different people have encouraged me to keep it going but, while I am not ruling out that possibility, I always envisioned this blog as a finite project. It was to be a personal history of the two phases of my skateboarding, as a teenager and as an adult. It has reached its conclusion, save for one final thing, which is contemporary video.
What follows are a series of clips spanning the last two and half years. I’ve attempted to represent what my skating actually looks like. I’ve resisted the urge to re-film things because, who am I kidding, I’m not good and never will be good. I am skating in my 40s though, which is something I never imagined would be possible and I’m having so much fun doing it.
Thanks.
I’ve enjoyed reading the blog.. I especially liked the conversation piece, it really inspired me as a skater in his late 30’s.. There isn’t a lot of writing on skating and the underlying reasons as to why we skate on into an older age, the addiction of it.. Enjoyed the videos too..
Don’t sell yourself short. Your skating is good. While at 40+ or 50+ like I am, we can expect to be little rubber people like when we were kids, if you can ride those pools and do some tricks like you did on various obstacles, then you are Good. I enjoyed seeing all the places and ways you skated them.
PS. If you get to Rehoboth Beach DE. there is a sweet skatepark at Epworth United Methodist Church. All concrete. Check it out.
