Recreation...

Did you ever drive through a town, or talk to someone about some random city, like Columbus, Ohio and think, "You know what would be fun? I think I'll bring a couple of friends, and come hang out with a few thousand other people, and just . . . run for 26 miles." Did you ever do that? ME NEITHER! But that is exactly what MoFo, Skidzilla, and Gimpy are doing this morning. Pedestrians on purpose. I don't get it, but it's ok. They can run until they puke (and they will)... I'll sit on the street for a few minutes with a sign of encouragement... or in this case, I'll make a lil' tiny sign and post a picture of it with a little plastic effigy of some famous skater to cheer them on from afar. Run ya bastards! Run!



Had an excellent session this morning with Travio, Tony, and Josh. Brent and Brett also rolled into OUR park. That's right, not another soul was there for a long time. And the weather was perfect, though the sun is still harsh making the corners really dark and blinding you through the flats. Josh and I worked on mini runs most of the day, both of us getting some good sliders. I had the best session I've had in a few weeks and really needed it. STOKED! Hopefully I can carry this through tomorrow and skate with OMP equally as well. Everyone took several turns riding Tony's new wood... (go ahead Dave, this time) He brought a new longboard that was super springy with FAT soft wheels. I was quite surprised how much fun it was cruisin' and really pumpin' around the park flats. Might have to schedule some hill bombing sessions at Iroquois park soon...

We would have all stayed longer, but a busload, yes, literally a schoolbus load of groms rolled up. The crash up derby factor went to a level that none of us wanted to be a part of... Looking forward to another fun session tomorrow. I'm back! Life is good.
