Where Im from
onlookers gaze
rare to find anyone that understands
the freedom
the joy
the release
of 13 plys of mahogany beneath your feet
you carve, you gain speed
onlookers gaze
suddenly your at the place within youself
and its at that point your FREE

I get one shot at it
Wide angle shot from above of me pushing the button to go up
Into a lift crammed with couples, pushchairs and a little guy staring at my big blue wheels
I push button 12, I parked at the top of course
The doors open and it's on
Pump it up
Expression session
Passing that couple, changing their kid's nappies in the boot
A bunch of baggy kids turn from the rail, "whoah!"
I layback for them
Level 4, no sign of the heat
Level 3, overtake me fool and I'll gouge your car for ya
Level 2, whatch this!
SCRREEEEEEEECH!!
Ah nice.

Dropping in alone...
My friend couldn't make it
Walking to the top,
I smile at kids and gardeners,
Breathing the cool evening redwood air
Feeling better now I push off
Steep drop to the saddle
Going fast!
Over the hump it's carve time
Swooping towards the T!!!
Hard right
Into the last drop
Sliding
Accelerating
Rushing past an oncoming car
I finally step off
And get behind my own wheel
For a much nicer ride home...

Going fast.
45mph... it feels great
the faster i go the slower the world seems to me
i feel like i am in a "Monet´s" picture.
50mph soon will reach..
cant wait to see the blur world again
its only my board and me
we are untouchable and u better get out of the way.
it feels so great

Pupils Widen,
Vitals Racing,
Starrin down this steep grade,
Swallowing fear,
You push off,
Seconds, Haulin Ass
No return, no stopping!
Speed dominants you
Demon bumps, you ride over.
Twitches of adrenelin rush the veins of courage.
You ride out of it.
Your spirit is free!
You destroyed the wall of fear!

hOdad! You poem continues to really make me laugh... *and*
appreciate the simple joy I get from just gliding and
leaning into turns.
In a very stressed out day, more and more, I find myself
driven to get in a few runs as therapy. And it always
seems to work!

It's homecoming at ole Mizzou. The oldest homecoming in the country. The home of homecoming. I'm gonna go give it a skate. Some nice little hills between here and there. 44 inches of Freeride Crosstown away. Torsion controll with 76mm kryp to cover the cracks.

A pick-up truck honks and overtakes
A couple of brothers I would skate with anyday

the search for a new hill...who doesnt love it? the feel of ripping up a fresh new experiance...the hum of the wheels, the blur of the world. Like learning to skate all over again. Even better to tear it up wit a friend. Gotta love the feel of the wind in your hair, the stoked look on the lil hottie thats been skating wit ya. Slide with Pride bros

You need some milk from the corner store?
Out of toilet paper?
No, seriously, it's not a problem, just let me squirt in
some WD and put on these new powerpaws and I'll get some,
really, it's not a problem.

Thank god for longboarding!
I just got my first board a few days ago (Sector 9 Super Cruiser) and now I can't stop. Smooth carves up and down the street, just watching the world roll by. I used to think nothing could compare to surfing, but this is pretty damn close. Nothing is better than taking a break from studying for a test to just go flow around the block to clear my mind of all the things that don't matter. And that's what carving does for me, helps me remember the things that truely matter, the things that we lose sight of amongst the troubles of daily life.
I now consider myself blessed.
Keep the soul alive

Starting out slow,
hot sun beating down,
glistening sky,
illuminating my view.
Note the solitude,
quiet humming of the wheels,
smooth and rythmic,
on the perfect pavement.
Bending into every curve,
sending my soul into every move,
carving evenly,
as the pace quickens.
Taking in the surroundings,
though they start to blur,
stopping's still an option,
adrenaline keeps my going.
All thoughts escape me,
plunging faster now,
concerned only of the speed,
instead of the daily foes that pound my head.
Solitude,
Serenity,
Utmost simplicity,
Creating my escape.

5am, god's gift to longboarders,
there is no better time,
the air is still,
the temperature cool,
and all you can hear is the whir of urathane,
and the laughter of mates at the bottom.

longboarding
cool clear night
nice sweeping mellow carves
the smile and the anticipation for the next run
makes that long walk back up
that much more fun
at the end of the night...
take a shower
go to sleep...
and dream about days yet to come

i've been checking out the soul-speak posts for quite awhile
and always love to see the spirit, and positivity of it. i
must agree 100% with cliff coleman on his post, it's all
about skating. no matter how you ride, or what you do, it
all begins in the same place. whenever i meet younger sk8ers
i always try to tell them its not about the clothes, music,
or hairstyles, its about skating.

Ahhhh, the joy of an empty parking lot. To the average eye, it is nothing more then space...and to those with grain under their feet it is whatever races through the mind. I just finished a 3 hour session in a large parking lot. Really nothing more then flat, smooth asphalt with the occasional parking block. It's times like this that remind me a skater can "create" whatever the surface.

my soul brothers, can any of you think of one skate session that was the most soulful skate exsperience you've ever had? did you know it was the most soulful exsperience you've had right after the session?
i'll start it off.
its a lone skate ses on a cool calm S.F. night. i'm on my mini flexy carver with rubber 8balls. the road is fairly steep and narrow. its long enough to make your calfs hurt at the end from carving. i had gotten about 2-3 runs in. about half way down the hill i see a car coming. i turn off into the sidewalk thinking, damn another car, making me stop skating. the truck stops and the driver yells out the window, "hey man, keep riding, i got a longboard to, but not like that." i said thanks and finished my run. ahhh, everything falls into place.
peace, not war!!!!

Nothing but the hill, you, and your trust in the wheels.
This is the lyfestile that rebuilds your spirit.
At the top of the hill, you are at the beginning again.
Ready for that long and winding road.
Full of holes, gravel, and concaves.
Ready to throw you off beat and off rythm.
With time you dodge more,
and with age you remember the rythm
Don't forget about the double holes 200 feet from my driveway and keep it rollin'
