<h2>intro</h2>
<p>
I've been skating a ton this past year, and it's been a
blessing. It's been painful too, and it delayed a ton my
other projects, including music making. But it was such a
dopamine source too. I met incredible people, some of the
best folks down here. I moved a lot, finally proceeded to
explore my city. Here are some articles on thoughts about
skateboarding, whether it's about a trick, a product or a
video.
</p>
<p>
I used to skate a lot as a teenager. It seemed cool to me.
I remember walking by the local skate spot age 12-13 seeing
those low-life teens with huge early Metallica shirts, holes
everywhere on their 4 size up baggy jeans, grinding some
stair set rail. I remember thinking "woa, their moms gotta
be angry!" Yet this was the coolest thing I could think of
at that time.
<br>
And then my friend showed me some Rodney Mullen clip,
Round 3. This shit was serious. Mullen, Misled Youth, I was
playing those non-stop as I started skating more and more.
<br>
And then I just quit. Just like that, no more skateboarding.
This was easily one of the top 3 mistakes of my life.
</p>
<p>
I quit skating for more than 10 years, now going back to it.
Full throttle. And I'm not letting it go this time.
