Around the end of the year I'd normally post a thing talking about what was going on with skating, but theres nothing that needs a particularly crazy writeup. I spent a lot of time since I started skating downhill trying to get down the hill as fast as I could, which meant I missed a lot of stuff on the way. So I have a lot of fun nowadays when I do get out messing around with the stuff I never really tried before. I'm happy to play around and not worry too much about where I'm at.
Even though it seems like a parallel universe, I get a lot from skating that carries into the rest of life, and there's a lot to learn from it. I'd like to keep it going as long as I can. Theres been a lot of good sessions and I hope even more next year, so cheers to everyone who made that happen.
I feel a lot more comfortable skating down one of the gnarliest hills in the country than I do in a lot of far more mundane areas of life. Quite often I'd like to do a bit of a trade as far as that goes, but it's more useful to understand how your mind works and try to work with yourself, which is difficult but really the only thing to do.
So I hope I can learn from my skating that theres a lot that I'm capable of, beyond what I know.
Looking forward to more of that.
