First Ride of Fall

I never rode orthodox skateboards. The 400w emad board I bought a few months ago was the first board I ever really rode around down. This is in Gainesville, Florida, a college town. And during the summer at that, which means that the town was mostly deflated, with the students all gone home.

This Monday, was my first ride with the town back to it’s normal levels. The first thing I noticed, was that the traffic was terrible! Backed up literally all the way from my house to my job. But that is actually a good thing, if you’re riding on an electric skateboard and passing the cars by. It was perhaps, one of the most exhilarating rides I’ve ever had on my board. I’m going to have to come up with some moves to show of my sass at finally not being part of the traffic problem.

There were almost more skateboarders on the road. The first I passed I gave a positive, thumbs up kind of a gesture to, and she returned it. But further down the road, I passed a longboarder who saw my electric and shouted “That’s cheating!”

I laughed and laughed as I zipped by him. Best Carve Ever.
