187 ona mfcp

I wasnt gonna skate but the weather was relatively cool (ie not ball sweltering hot in the first ten minutes) and IS said he could skate, and lzyk had to do some pro shit. So out I went to the three stair park. It sucked. Partially, because I didn't take my asthma meds, which are apparently a new way of life, adn partially, because I've lived without skating in a super polluted shithole for week or two. The result was that when I went to warm up and run away with some *********s and maybe slowly rollaway from whatever grinds and slides I could manage at the three stair park, I was doubled over, hacking up litres of phlegm in no time. Some kids cheered when I got some *******s and an alternative lifestyle couple cheered me a few times, which was kind of touching, since I think they can only spend their time together in the public park on national holiday, but maybe I"m projecting. I swept the tree debris out of hte way, and soon was ****** for several squares of curb, which elicited squeals from teh onlookers. WHen the breeze blew through, it was too cool, and when it didn't, it was stiffling.

IS rode up and we hit the sidewalks. we slammed up the yellow metal loading grates, and no security came outside. we *******d and ****** the stairs and curbs, especially the flat to 2 stair metal curb, which needed wax to get going. THen we crossed teh street to see the black bank, and maybe got abducted by aliens, because for about ten minutes, we couldnt find each other, evne though we had just been cruising together on the same stretch of sidwalk. Next up was the bronze curbs, which went lovelily, and I even filmed IS in a line, which I don't normally care ot do, but this one was too pure to ignore. Next try, he made a joke about slamming and promptly slammed, with the board shooting far out into traffic. Thankfully, it was on a redlight, so no one died. We beered up and skated back to the black bank, but it was just horsing around at this point. On the back side of the staiton is a spot that I've never tried; and ***** up to 90 degree turn to ledge on the goofy side. I've been by there dozens of times, but never thought about waxing it and doing the thing. IS did, while security ominously came and went, without smoking a cigarette. As he continued to try, the popos rolled up on their scooters. Imagine the most intimidating scooter you can imagine, adn then some guys in bullet proof vests riding them, who get dismount from their steeds, hands on holsters. They were angry that I pretned I couldnt understand that they were saying I should go to a skatepark (the only skatepark within an hour is currently completley shut down, and even on regular nights, is now closed at 22:00 anyway), but IS and I played the ting boo dong card adn got away without getting tazed. THis launched us into several hours of stories about how this kind of interaction goes down in america though, and while cops who pull up on us pretending to draw their guns are a bit silly, in Taipei, they're a damn sight better than real american cops actually doinig the same with guns drawn.

I'm happy to live in a relatively free country. Taipei police, yall need to chill. we left as soon as you showed up, even though we weren't skating (anymore). what more do you want?
