a true homey from before came from overseas. I haven't managed to make time to skate with him for at least a month. we planned seek and destroy mission for a few times. tonight it finally happened. but first, i needed new pivot cups (i m about to buy some polymorph and jjust make my own, since no one in taiwan stocks the shape i need) so i went to anytime's new location. it is the ideal skate shop. they have a wall of decks, and a quarter pipe on the back end, with a box on the opposite wall of the register. three dudes were skating it while i bought some new (wrong sized) pivot cups and replaced them. anytime also earns pionts because htey have shop decks.
then the re was a small delay while fm needed to eat and drink. i tried to warm up at the bull ring in ximen, but it was full of rollerblading bmxers, so i split and went to meet fm at an undisclosed location. it was near 101, i just cant remember where. oh yeah, it was at merlin's 5 stair, and we skated it for a while, but the vibrations weren't there, and we took a bus east. this was a fantastic decsion, because fm showed me a virgin spot. it's a plaza with slate ground, and black marble ledges, about 100 yards by 50 yards. There were two parking police at each end, but we skated the ledges until we just couldnt anymore, and there was no bust. It is an ideal spot, with photogenic king of buildings in back. thanks, fm, im glad you're back.
my foot was hurting but the spot sped me up, so i went to the bridge, because it's not far. freebird dudes were filming and slipboarding around, and a homey was there, and he gave me lots of beers. i skated until my legs dont work. tonight makes me look forward to the future.
