Middle Mountain Center of Small Country Learning Station

I woke up in shock, as though during an airstrike. I haven't been through an airstrike yet, but I think it would be unpleasant, like when you wake up with your clothes on and you don't know what time it is or where you are. Then, reality smashes back into the cave that is your brain like a thermobaric round behind a Hadhrahmaut blast door. I was late for skating. I called IS and he cruised to zshan. We skated the new bank and got booted almost immediately. We pushed north into the early night, and I was glad I brought a second shirt. It was too hot for a hoody, but too chilly for a tshirt. I wore the shirt that I knocked myself out in in Neihu a while back, and had bad premonitions the whole time. The skategods made me pay rent, but nothing more than I should have expected. We cruised up to minchan road and went to work on the low grey marble there. The ledges are about 5m long, with chest high marble stoppers in-between. Someone, somewhere, can probably ollie up onto them, but that's in another video. We skated the lower part a lot more than I expected, which was actually none, since I can't remember ever having skated them previously. That's the thing about Taipei, there are so many marble skatespots that even the ones in front of your house get skipped. You just can't catch every fish in the ocean.
I tried to catch a ******** beside the roaring traffic and paid rent with my wrists. IS got an ***** to *** off on the ledge, which was my favorite trick of the night, because he did it with authority. Second favorite was when I sort of landed a few ugly ********s. It's been a while. Least favorite was when I hit Satan's Tile and tore my abs from top to groin. It was a long, sleek, black rectangle, and I got my wheels tangled in it before I saw it.
I fell a few more times and we went over to the minchan banks and I rolled out of it and nearly ate shit, about as sketchy as you can get. Somehow, those banks are way steeper than they look.
We "bombed" the "hill" at the Middle Mountain Center of Small Country Learning and Excellence in Educational Attainment For Everyone Station then I cruised home with an Asahi or two. I think I'm gonna miss the gymnasium in the morning, owning to my wrists and shoulder.
