Lullaby For The Working Class | An ode to the skate session

 

Sometimes it’s nice to just read some creative words about skateboarding and the sessions it inspires. Kevin Wilkins from The Good Problem does it often.

 

Sample:

“In sessions like this you find yourself skating better — you almost can’t help it. Your feet are light and do what you tell them to. You can think of something, last second, and you’re able to realize it in the form of timing, ease, and carelessness. It’s almost perfect. More important, you don’t even care about your skateboarding. You’d just as soon sit down and watch as you would inject yourself into the middle of it all.

On that first work-free evening of the rest of our lives, one particular friend of mine was feeling the phenomenon rather acutely — not only skating up to and well beyond his own levels, but to elevations I’ve seldom seen reached at even the most pro-fueled displays of ability.

It was like he was better that he was, if you can handle that truth.”
