Guest Column: IS goes on a solo mission

normalg: did you find any spots?
IS: mmm maybe you know them sweet benches at linsen Park
      All in all good ride
      skated at jiantan station
      some sweet banks the there
normalg: yeah fun spot
              Good manny pads too
              Did security talk to you?
IS: Nope but it's best to skate when it's closed
normalg: fo sho
               can you write a session report for tonight?
               it can be as short and ridiculous as you want
               I hate working and missing sessions
IS: yeah I can if remember everything that happened haha I ran into a lot of traffic as you said so I          
     didn't get to do much just ride. I did play chicken with a kid driving a Beamer in Zhongshan haha
normalg: Yes
               That's what I want to publish
IS: I started off in Taipei arena an rode around getting into the groove bombing the slope around the
    arena. Then proceeded west an went full speed ahead. Weaving in and out of traffic. One station  
    after another on the green line I was feeling good. A mix of punk an rap in my headphones I felt the
    flow. Skating in between the sidewalk an inside corridors taking advantage of the marble floors an
    smooth little transition hubs I kept it low key due to pedestrian traffic.
    The night was cool an clear an perfect to skate before the big storm approaches an pretty much  
    floods the area.
    This weekend. Making my way up the green line i finally aporoached Zhongshan district. Known
    mostly for its hospitality towards Japanese visitors it was pack but I manage dto get my bearings in a
    small side street an Ollie over the sewer drains while dodging kids joy riding their parents fancy cars.
    Finally hitting the redline Minquan w road stationI make my way up towards my area. I skate an run
    into a dramatic scene of rushing firemen an bystanders on looking as I can tell was a fire. Mind you I
    didn't see any flames but you could feel the heat an smell the burning of plastic. Three fire engines
    took up the street causing me to walk past the scene an look on to the panic of fire fighter and
    curiousness of bystanders.
    I made my way up to yuanshan and skated the stairs [normalg] showed me one fine skate night. I got
    in a few grinds an a *-* but crashed an had to move on. I decided to skate up to my home station
    jiantan after beering up. There on the side of the stations are these sweet banks. I did a few lines but
    decided to call it a night. Skated home feeling good glad I did the run up from Taipei arena to Jiantan
    now I can rest an let the typhoon pass this weekend.
normalg: what shoudl I use as you byline?
IS: hmm you mean by name?
normalg: yeah
IS: Lol yay keep the name you've been using Is
normalg: aight
