Slowly getting better in smith grinds! I started to focus on pinch point to get more stability and when I feel safe enough I with pinch point I'll go for longer grinds :-D

When discover a place that you want to skate one day and which is quite a challange...
when you start to visit the place again and again to check respectfully if you really want it...
when you have visited the place a few times now and you ask your friends to be there with you soon and once the day has come....

The emotional chaos before... when you need half an hour or more... you start and ride the direction and see how it feels like and repeat this a few times.

If you then just make the decision to go for it and really go for it - if you get closer then and you just continue....

when you go beyond the point of being able to stop... and then you realize to go for it is the only way...

... when you "stay cool" even if the thrill kicks and you jump....

... when you are in the air and you forget everything else and you feel this special kind of joy....

This is skating <3
