"The only disability in life is a bad attitude.” -Scott Hamilton

Don't let anything stop you from having fun or enjoying something you love, nothing.

Another hazy evening, at least this one is a tad warmer from previous.

Smell of asphalt, whips, nature, and canvas.

Thankfully I got today off, kind of needed an escape.

Plus it’s nearly the weekend, so things can wait.

Cruising around, enjoying the sights and sounds.

Beating myself up for forgetting my camera…again.

Such a forgetful klutz I be at times.

Thankfully Roz has his backup equipment. Saved by the flash.

People turning their heads, eyebrows raised and all.

It’s as if they’ve seen some outside species or something.

Confuse about all the stares of…well confusion.

I’m just having fun, return the eyebrow to ground level.

My version of fun may be frowned upon by others.

They’re turned to smiles as I go airborne.

Just a dude caught in the wind and trying to be fancy.

What? I don’t need a skateboard to do tricks.

Skateboarding was my past love, it was hard breakup.

I may not be able to shred down halfpipes,

Or jump vert ramps with ease.

But I’m still able to have fun with just 2 wheels.

They’re 5 times the size of the standard deck wheels

And they’re two of them instead of the regular four.

But I still need to push them to gain speed,

While wildin’ out in the air for a big score.

It might not be a “socially accepted” activity for my state

I could care less for what others think.

As long as my friends and I enjoy ourselves,

That’s all that matters right?

Not a real fan of the automatics, I prefer a manual.

Gives me more speed as I push the chair down the ramp.

Yes, helmet is on. Better safe than sorry.

Don’t want to end up in worse state than my permanent leg cramp.

It’s quite a rush seeing the sky from upside down,

And also hearing people clapping as you land.

This is my passion, won’t end til’ my heart goes flat.

Not even a life-threatening situation will stop that.

Big Air.
