Man, how did we get so old? I’m so grateful that skateboarding is as big as it is today. I remember thinking I would never quit skating as a kid, but then I did right before I set off for college and I didn’t look back really until 12 years later. I do remember throughout the years though when I would see an object that looked skateable, I would envision myself skating it. I think that is something that becomes ingrained in you when you really get into skateboarding and then it never leaves, you see objects in society different than others. EVERYTHING becomes skateable! As you drive down the road, in the back of your mind, you are saying “Oh, that would be fun to skate!” It’s really cool to be still watching these guys skate and compete and now instead of just watching a little skate vid that nobody else in the world outside of skateboarding views. We see them compete on the X Games in front of the world…I don’t know, some people don’t like the media attention on skateboarding, but I like it because it means as I flip through the channels on the TV, I might come across some skateboarding and I love that! 🙂
A Blog for those who Love Skateboarding.
I am 35 now and still ride. I recognized Holmes, Way, and Cab. Still trying to recognize the last brother-on-wheels. Yes, I agree wit you, we see the world different. I have never stopped skateboarding. I have skated in rain, snow, and dark. I have realized that skateboarding is not what we do, it is what we are. Without it, I'm not sure what I am. It is a part of us like being a doctor or a mechanic or a singer.
