Just Enjoy It

   Today was the first time that I had the "why am I doing this?" feeling lol And I didn't even fall or anything, I actually enjoyed myself the short amount of time I got to skate! But I wondered, impatiently, when I was going to be able to "do more tricks" and all that bs. Got lost from the genuine sportsmanship of it for a second! Came back to reality lol I JUST STARTED! I've already really had a learning curve, too! I can't expect myself to jump out of the screen of a Tony Hawk video game lol or the cover of Thrasher Magazine! Some folks spends years and years of their life skateboarding; and can't land a kickflip (or whatever) it's not about that! It's about the artistry of using YOUR tricks and what you DO know, on WHATEVER is infront of you. That's the universal beauty of skating and skateboarding and bmx and snowboarding etc! It takes years and years of dedications to achieve the level of control and talent that these pros have. BUT! Even after a few days, weeks, and months.. you see results.

   I'm not gonna say I've never seen a basketball. But it's like taking somebody whose barely got a layup or jumpshot; and expecting them to play with the NBA! That's unrealistic of myself to expect those kinds of results!!! Instead......I just smiled and enjoyed myself!
