Discovery at the mall.

I'm a bit pigheaded at times. Being this way makes me do things like buy two of the wrong size wrenches for my rear wheel and waste an hour of riding time at Sears during the Christmas rush. Doh!

Anyway, I met Justin at Washington Square again and it was on. I wish the way it worked was that you learned a trick, did it once and then it was just ingrained in you. I want my tricks to just be a part of me like an arm or a finger, to just have complete mastery over them. I'm sure some people ride like that.

Justin did a couple of pretty rad links. We busted out the video camera and I played filmer for a little while. There are a lot of cool possibilities with moving pictures but please just give me a still camera any time. I like trying to capture that exact moment where the action is at it's peak. Anyway, I'll be psyched to see what Justin's video will look like.

Hey, all you dogs out there: I wish I was around more to ride with you guys. J, Sarge, Joe, Darrell, Hagnas - I have to get at you guys and ride. I ordered some new videos and when I get back we should have a riding/video session at my place. No doubt.

Tonight heralded a small personal achievement. I rode out of a front yard. It was a small burst of scuffing and then I put it down and jumped back to my pedal. I was stoked but I really can't wait to figure out how to scuff those suckers around in a circle(s). I also need to think of something to do out of a backwards steamroller - how about a backwards pimp glide? Okay, I'm dreaming... Anyway, any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Keep on, keepin' on.
