True Riding

Alright, today i left my house, really mad because i wasn't able to go to DK skatepark. So yeah like me i was just in a bad mood in general. I meet up with a bunch of people and we just chill around. We get talking and what not and just have a bunch of laughs, just hanging out being friends and whatnot. Then, we left to go ride. We went from spot to spot, we made this rad ghetto kicker out of a 5 set and a huge piece of sheet metal, it just completely shot you up and it was awesome. We didnt even do tricks off it, we just hit it. Then we saw it, a hugee hill. Me and Reeves look at the hill, then back at each other. We both are instantly like "race". So we get up to the top and were like "alright you push until the line and then you just have to coast, the finish is way at the hydrant down there". So we start pushing, and just go. The whole way down we are laughing histerically because we're just out there having fun. We got to the end (he won) and we just like fall over. It was completely awesome. After we finished off riding for the night, with seemingly nothing accomplished, i stepped back and thought about it. I dont need riding to do tricks and just guide my life. I dont need to go to the park every day or whatever, i can just go out with my friends, and just take our scooters, and have fun.
For all of you who take this sport too seriously, just take it day by day, do what you want, but most of all. Do it for fun. I think i have just finally realized that myself, even if i've said otherwise in the past.

I'll end this seemingly random thread with a quote thats stuck with me:

"Ride with Style, Ride for Fun, Ride for Life"

haha you guys are taking it like i meant racing is more fun than tricks.

what i finally realized is you dont have to be going huge or whatever to still have fun riding
 
Umm that got me a bit depressed... like one of the countless downsides of riding a scooter in Poland, apart from holes in the ground, driving licence at 18, no/crap skateparks, impossible to buy good gear etc, is that no one rides in my city, besides my little brother of course. What you all guys do is riding scooters with other people, which combines together 2 of 3 top things I enjoy doing; riding and hanging out with other people.

well at least i've found like 2-3 new riders in this spring, one rides flat (does inverted pogos and stuff related to that, sketchy tailwhips and flat 360s) and has an old-a, the other one started riding park with me, learned tailwhips recently but has a shit scooter combination of some nameless and Trelock-named scooter which both suck, and the boy still sucks at modding his scooter and never listenes to me how to lock a foldy, cause he thought he did but instead one bolt he put two bolts on the top without any washers. NOOOOOB! And if you would ride with that guy, then you would say "hey, that noob talks more than he rides" Seriously.

EDIT: back to the topic - me and my friends with a non-profit organisation are already planning some cruising days that we'd cruise with scooters from one side of the city to another side of it in the capital of Estonia where i live. Some roads have holes so we have to check our route haha. It's kinda like the SR Ride day idea, but only cruising and we came up with it already like 2-3 months ago when we had snow :D

yesterday was incredible. woke up at 7, got to the park at 8. no one was there. just me and my buddy tabor (who just started skateboarding). perfectly sunny out, just riding around, telling jokes, pushing each other on to do new things. its amazing how much friends can make things easier.
