stag night

lots of space inbetween.




we went back home for a ccr wedding. we got back after midnight on the next to last train and lzyk insisted that i walk her to our door, even though i already had my skateboard with me. she is a cruel mistress. I started off on curbs and stairs in the area, and flatground at the war memorial park. i'm not sure who the memorial is for, and maybe that's why it's the best one i've been to. the night slowly built momentum, and got a *********** (which of course I can already do) on a new spot (which took a lot of effort and looked hideous. fortunately, no one was was with me).

alone, i skated a metal curb I've been eyeing for a hwile. it's tall for a curb, but not quite tall enoguh to be a ledge. anyway, i got six new things on it, just fuck around varieations, but under pressure of hte security guard from the building 10m away, who came out and watched the whole thing, and blocked me from using the sidewalk infront of his domain. the rest of taipai was mine to claim.

i went north with the intention of skating the yellow flatbar at the temple, eventually, and found the old marble mini hubba that the bulgarian skated with me. turns out, this spot is maybe better tha nthe intenteded destiation for learing the trick. i didnt get it, but i did get a better verisin of everything else I know there. its a japanese spot, compact and forcing slow speed. suited to me because i'm a pussy. i got a variety of new lines there. never let someone tell you that if if they cant see the footage it didnt happen. kcik them in the teeth. none of it ever happened. fools.

anyway, as you can tell, i had a couple of beers. i went to the temple, finally (with a ballsy ollie up a *********** stair on the cruise, which honestly scared the living shit out of me) and

completely failed to get what i came for.

nevermind, i got a better verison of my ** ********** and a much, much longer ** ** on the ledge. I got a couple of more beers and waxed teh entire bottom granite stair by rolling backwards and holding the la on the angle. this spot isnt cursed after all. or maybe i grind better buzzed. i cruised back and bought another round. these new shoes are horrible. the rubber is so old that its like trying to skate with regular shoes, if you waxed all your grip tape.

tonight was good though. it was windy and although i sweated my ass off, it was nothign like as bad as the next 8 months are going to be.
