滑板 Incursion Into 林森北

I got home exhausted, but the prospect of a largish crew skating street on a friday night was too good to pass up. I got to rplaza in about 15 minutes and there already half a dozen skaters there. And security was in the middle of kicking them out, since they had up lights. No matter, we crossed the street to the twin kinked hubbas. They're about 20 m long, with five or six kinks. Mc tried to get down to the bottom but couldnt quite make it. Then crossed another street into park proper, where the ground is smooth, the benches are tall, not long, and very slick, and the guitar player was jangling away as per usual. Most of the crew split off for food (where there is prostitution, there is also plenty of excellent street food) but I had eaten a heaping bowl of ramen earlier, and kept skating with mw. We ended up back at the plaza, because he had never seen it before. Its key feature is the jet black marble benches taht are just a little too high for comfort. It's got some little stairs around the outside, and a waist high drop, and a manny pad on top of that. I discovered that the very mellow bank on the other end of the drop can be skated into grinds on the end of the stone, so I did a couple of new things there. Security couldn't be bothered to come remove us this time. The key to skating anything you want in Taipei is no lights, and small groups. The nail that stands up and gets hammered down if it's well lit and making lots of noise with skateboards.
