You know, since the last time I posted about that great day of skating and fun, there hasn’t been a lot of skating or skating thinking, and I’m starting to realize that skating for me isn’t like it used to be and that I don’t know if it ever will be. It’s sad, but I’m just not into it. I’m sorry to anyone who wanted my blg to be about that or the topic of skateboarding, but it’s just not me. These are my last words about skating for the time being. I may, at some later time, go skating again and have lots of fun, but it will never again be a passion for me like it used to. That time in my life was a great blessing, but now I have other interests and hobbies. I have new friends, and it’s just not really a part of me.
For me, skating was life, and it’s funny how much I loved riding around on a little plank of wood. The whole art of skateboarding is using your muscles to make that board do stuff. It is a simple idea, yet so complex when actually tried and tested. It brought so much joy to my life, and I was immersed in the cultural aspects of the sport as well; I read skate magazines, watched skate videos, and talked about it with my friends. It was a great activity that kept me fit and healthy, and that allowed me to have fun when I had nothing else to do. I loved it, and I’m sure it loved me too. One can never forget the feeling that comes along with landing a new trick for the first time. Just knowing that you landed back on the board after your first sketchy kickflip ever makes you want to yell and scream with joy.
As ironic as this is, all of this makes me just want to go outside and skate. However, I know that won’t las for long and the longing will soon fade into the back of my mind. I wish I loved it like I did, and I will still skate from time to time. I heard somebody say once, “Once a skater, always a skater.” It may have been someone on the skateboard-city website. That is so true. I will always respect those who participate in the activity and, like I said, it will still be fun for me to go out and do with friends. But for now, my blog doesn’t realy have a topic, just a sort of mash of stuff. It’s more about life. And the life lessons that I learn. Oh yeah! There’s my topic. I can’t wait to post on it.

You can’t give up skating! Are you crazy?!
I also had the same problem, I was loving i but then one day i just woke up and gave it up! It just felt boring I do not know why.
Giving up your passion is a little weird. But it happens. Brady, I love your style of writing! Really.. Good job!
I’m not crazy DJ. It’s just that I want to do things that I want to do, and right now I want to do other things besides skating. Robert knows what I’m talking about. I agree with you Marian, it is a little weird. Thanks. I’m gonna go check out your guys’ blogs.
