Just appreciate it man! Its a crazy fucking thing, that piece of metal under your feet and in your hands that feels for some strange reason normal. In this life, your life, sure, its normal I guess..? But, look at every other human on this planet, and tell me how many of them would really understand or comprehend the complexities, stylistic nuances, whackness and freshness, the continuity of a clean line or the complete mental occupation of a banger? And we're just one species man! We're a really small part of the earthly community. There are thousands, millions of other species doing all sorts of crazy things, all with their own cultures, lifestyles, and effects on the environment. And earth is just a tiny tiny speck in our galaxy that is one of millions of galaxies that occupy more area than any human could ever comprehend. Think about in all of that, the chance for you to be sitting there, maybe with a few good mates, riding a fucking scooter? And it makes you happy? Like fuck, theres nothing else that lets you express yourself in the same way. painting, playing music, filming, dancing, singing, sculpting, writing, and an infinite amount of other things are all awesome ways of expressing yourself, but what things like scootering, skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, BMX give us is extremely unique and untouched anywhere else. The act of feeling your body constantly moving towards something that is always changing, the state of being, moving, morphing your actions, consciousness, and intention into and onto a surface. The surface that you must interpret in your own way, in a way no one has ever done before because nobody has the same body, thoughts, feelings, style, and emotions as you. You are constantly relaying the way you have felt before and the way you feel in your body and in your mind onto what you are doing. Your process of thought, your body feelings, and your reaction time are all used to interpret a surface or obstacle in your own way. That is what is all coming out, whether you want to admit it, romanticize it, discuss it or not, everything you have ever been, seen, or done comes out when you are scootering. You have a job, no an obligation, to take advantage of such a beautiful and unique with all of its pains, sufferings, and shortcomings, or if it just isn't doing it for you, find another art form in which to express yourself. Its all about you and what you desire. Make your scootering good, scooter for the good of art and creating and being really fucking stoked and happy, and your scootering will give you and teach you more than you ever wanted to know, but such self-searching will lead you to an extremely hard path, which Buddhism aptly refers to as "The Path". Let scootering be not something you need, but something you are. Do it very lightly, every trick, more lightly than you ever have. Allow the universe to do all the work, you are just a radio antenna for what is really going on out there in the universe. You have to just fucking scooter man, its really the best. Just look at the earth and how it really couldn't be any other way, but at the same time, it could be so many other fucking ways, and just love that feeling. Its great exercise too!
