Old Guys Who Skate

Ryan and I hit Bonsor skate park this morning… aahhhh now that’s better.  After not riding for a while, and then dealing with the crumbling decrepitude of New West, it sure feels good to ride a nice park. 

Interestingly, the park has been cleaned of all graffiti – well… almost all.  Some douchebag graffiti’d one of the steep walls of the park with “Trip”.  Now, I’m not against graffiti – especially if it’s done with a modicum of style and/or grace.  I do have to admit, though, that skating an essentially graffiti-free park today was cool.  However, the one thing I have in favor of graffit artists is that they generally produce some pretty cool art.  However, the douchebag that tagged the bowl with this “Trip” paint, was truly untalented.  It’s not that he did a poor job with the spraycan, rather, he painted it on with a freaking roller.  I just looked stupid.  Oh well – you can’t account for taste in some people…

Still, the ride today was EPIC!  Both Ryan and I were killin the flow.  I started to get to the point where my big problem was carying too much speed and trying not to pop out of the park.  It felt awesome!  I can’t wait to go back again and push the envelope.  Hmmm… I wonder what I’m doing tomorrow morning?! 

I’d post video – but I want to edit what I have and also take some new footy.  More to come.  

(ps – no, that’s not a current picture of Ryan about to hit the flow – but you can tell he’s about to tear it up!)
