Yar, Went to skate Greer park last night after work. That place is hesh... scary hesh.... but super fun. I like ridin' the ole plank there in the evenings... there is always a nice breeze.... bein out in the open... in the fresh air... and then seein the sunset... it is amazing.... riding there is like getting back to your roots... it is the heart of skateboarding... carving, going fast, turning... you don't even have to know how to olie to rip it up there.... the true soul of skateboarding can be understood by carving a line at Greer..... there is nothing else like it... getting speed off the walls, sliding on the paint as you pump through the corners.... the rush of adrenaline as you speed through the bowls on the smooth hard concrete... hanging on the edge of disaster, on the edge of control, pushing the limits of your courage and your mind.... it is the closest zen-like feeling I think I will ever experience.... hmph... I don't wanna work now... yar... I would rather be out salin on the ole plank.... yar....
