Take That Risk

I got what I deserved, skating the three stair park on a cool summer night. It had been a week, and I swear I've gotten visibly fatter. I took the skateboard down south, but I was so lazy that I never skated. Unloading the truck in the underground parking lot, I threw down and rolled up the steep ramp like a bank. Our building has at least four floors of parking underneath, like a terraced corkscrew. Sometimes it feels like Taipei is almost as large underground as above. Anyway, it felt good, so I went out for a lil cruise. At the 3stair park, a 90 year old Taiwanese harry potter with a cane came up and put a hex on me. I was quickly **********, which is my dream slide. Some where sticking, and some were zipping out, like I was getting pretty close to legit learning it. The sticky ones could be turned and "rolled away from," even though they didn't slide. I was coming up on em at a proper speed too, or at least fast enough to not be ashamed. Then I had a tank slapper. Like Senna hitting the wall at Monaco, I didn't even know what happened. It was impossible, that this had happened. I came down raking my forearm on the chunky stone, and smashed my lower torso hard enough that I immediately had to shit. Fortunately, home is catty corner to the park.

I picked up my old wheels, three of which had working bearings, and skated down to the bridge. Some idiot event was still going on there. The skate group I lurk on said the whole bridge was unskateable all weekend. I tried to get in my mandatory ******s on the way, and had a crew of angry employees waiting for me at the hotel next door. The event was packing up, and they wouldn't let me in to drop off the wheels. Assholes. So I left the wheels on a spot where I thought somebody might see them. But you'd have to be pretty desperate to skate those plastic turds.

I finished up my 14 *******s on the way back and by then, my forearm was swollen up like a golfball. I listened to drugs&skengs in the stoop park. It looks like I tried to slit my wrist with a brick.
