Patinar o muerte!!!

Achei interessante esse texto que vi na internet. Explica bem o que é o skate pra quem anda. Vários membros do blog andam de skate, a gente sabe exatamente o que é. Molda um pouco nosso jeito de ser, até de ver o mundo e se relacionar com ele. Taí o recado pra galera:

SKATEBOARDING is about opportunity. It is about creativity. It is about being creative enough to take your opportunities and make the best of them. Create fun. Create havoc. Create something new and original. Skateboarding is about looking at an object and seeing it in a completely different light than 99% of the people on this planet. It's about taking that object and adapting to it; applying a brand new technique to it. Skateboarding is about grabbing those opportunities. About skating that bank that's usually a bust except for the 15 minutes between 5:30 pm and 5:45 pm when the guards change shifts. It's about seeing opportunities where none had existed before. It's about creating those opportunities when none are apparent.Skateboarding can be about pain. Skateboarding can invariably be about joy...all kinds of successes and acheiving goals. It's what sets you apart from the peck down the street or the jock in English class that runs A&F gear. But you get out of it what you put into it.You'll find your skills improve with practice; your techniques improve over time. Your judgment even improves along with all of that eventually.SKATEBOARDING is about frustration. The inability to land that trick. The inability for your parents or teachers to understand your obsession with a "useless piece of wood."SKATEBOARDING mirrors real life like a charm. Success, setbacks, downfalls, disappointments, victories, defeats, slams, lands, learning and forgetting. This month, let's consider that.Around the next corner could be a COP or a brand new slick ledge you've never seen before.You may get harassed or assaulted; you may get sponsored.But there's only one way to find out. Don't be afraid. Give it a good push and see what happens next.If you're scared, push just a little harder.Oh yeah. I'm not talking about skateboarding anymore. I'm talking about life.But for you...maybe it's the same thing.

"Skateboarding is about looking at an object and seeing it in a completely different light than 99% of the people on this planet"...Pura verdade! Quando vejo uma guia enxergo o bicho papao querendo me comer, dificilmente consigo vencê-lo. Já um corrimao,quando tento enxergá-lo,vejo: E=mc2 + buraco negros + física quântica + cao chuvando manga...Apesar da briga constante do my, myself, I and my board, sigo patinando e me divertindo com o carrinho. Skategoles Forever!!!
