we skate

we skate...yes we skate......

its been a long time since i hear the pop of my deck......yest i decided to tag along adi, adil and yanto skating.....it was a tough start, the phobia of injury struck me, i dare not pop nor did i dare to do that 180 powerslide turn.....nor that fakie shove it that i use to do.....it was bad.....i was feeling like 'uggh i cant skate no more'.....that was while waiting for yanto to arrive.....i sat and i stood and tried again, it progressed a little......adi told me to plug on to my nofx and i sure can.....something like that la...so i took out shuffle and just pressed play.....and tried again....full concentration.....improved a little......yanto was late cos he was making his way home from work and then to capitol where we were suppose to meet.....so we decided to 'warm up' at the mscp.....aww man.....i was popping again.....although shitty...i actually went off the ground......and i managed a couple of fakie shove it though shitty....

when yanto finally came, we made way to the skatepark.....along the way we stopped at SMU for the steps....they were right, it was like macam in the video game...i meant the setting...coolness, except rather dark.......i watched them, was a little not too confident to try anything.....then adil gave me encouragement as i popped ollies as practise, 'diq, try ollie to step ar, satu jer...' ok, i tried.....yeah man...made it, i know its low but for starters it made me happy......then, looking at them ollie down, made me so itchy that i tried....one step ok, then two....before i completely was confident and good at two, we had to leave cos the security made his appearance.....so we made our way to the skatepark.....skating along the streets in the night where there were few ppl around(its already 2330hrs on a weekday) was really great...felt like the good old days....

at the skate park, many had improvements, though adi had a bad fall.....yanto and adil...had many successful 50-50s and me, a couple shitty failed 50-50 but i still managed to feel the.....'grrrrrrggg' the sound of the trucks meeting the edge...was a great feeling after more than six months.....we then made our way home when the sky started to drip....

the feeling was great.....the sweat, the skating, all lah........today my thighs were sore but i guess i benefited from it......i felt a little stronger on my knees....and the sweat yesterday, if done every week, i guess i can loose a couple of pounds....it benefited me, i enjoyed it, i forgot bout everything else and i had fun......thanks guys.....the week after next yeah....if the time is right.......we'll be surfing the concrete jungle.....
