Yesterday I went for my first night time skate session with the Red Rock guys.
I should start by saying that these guys are all more experienced skaters than me. But I said in a previous post that I thought the Evolve board had a stronger motor. Despite trying my best, they all left me eating dust. Up hill, down hill, they were faster. Was it due to my inexperience? Or can Red Rock simply provide more power for less money? Seems Red Rock has the power.
After coming home, I had a sad experience. A group of Mexicans who live next to me were all coming home on their bicycles. They wore lights, and had just pulled into the apartment on their bikes while I parked my car. After a long ride, they lingered outside, doing the usual thing. Locking their bikes. Taking off their helmets. Talking about the ride. I have no idea where they came from, but probably it was work.
Then they all saw me, coming home. Driving. Only to open the trunk and take out my electric skateboard, and backpack with El Wire. It was somewhat humbling. They ride bicycles out of necessity. I burn gas just ride my longboard for fun.
Such is the American way. Hey, at least I commute on my board.
