Back when I first started skating again, I found a long long curb spot at the top of the hill in 彰化. It's always a homecoming when I get to skate it again. It's the kind of magic spot where you find out you're able to do things you didn't know you could do. I did three of them. The DIY spot is nearby, but no one was there, until a single solo kid showed up. I embarrassed myself with my terrible mandarin and he talked about school and hiphop. We got out some rails and boxes and so on (they have a whole collection) and enjoyed the crisp, quiet winter air (I skated with a stocking cap on).
Which reminds me. I found a sort of Element outlet stall in 台中. It's been so long since I skated that I didn't realize Element ever made shoes. These shoes were $500, and until today, I have never passed up on $500 skate shoes. I passed up on these. They were the worst shoes I have ever put on my feet, and I have put on $200 night market shoes (in which I learned how to ******** and were still the best skate shoes I've ever had). At first I really thought that some counterfeitters had made fake Element shoes, but then I looked it up, and apparently Element really did make some shoes at some point. At that price, they were almost worth buying for the novelty, but they were so uncomfrotable that I wouldn't have even been able to wear them to work.
