i’m a pretty banged up person. who isn’t who skateboards. i went to the dept. of skateboarding in PDX this evening. its mostly wood.. with graniet ledges. the few. and some serious steps. like the big three. being someone who only started skating again in nyc, last winter. skateparks are something i have never known. its weird. i don’t get the flow. it seems to be best suited for people who spend the most time there. verse just general skating. if your use to that wedge to gap, your use to it. i had to take my stacks. (witch are getting painfull cause i keep falling on the same knee, and lets not even talk about my foot!) and i feel dumb and stupid.
the feeling in the park is its less dangerous and safer. and you can rip all the time. when a park is totally new. this is not the case. atleast for me. i went in with confiendence, and by the end was well shook up. because of my bad foot. i couldn’t trust my pop. witch only lead to slams. witch only lead to less trust in my pop. and etc. on it goes. im not saying parks are bad. but right now. they are not as relaxing as a solid street spot. but i’ll be back. and i’ll win.

by the way. the guys at cal’s pharmacy are great. what an awesome small shop.
