Yesterday evening in the rain at Southcommon Mall waiting on the bus. A skateboarder was scooting down the hill (not much of a grade) on the sidewalk right by the bus stop. He'd roll down 5 or so metres, grunt, try to flip the board, grunt louder, then turn and push his way back up. Over and over. The bus was late and a crowd of people lined up, with umbrellas, and slowly encroached on his path. He continued the same back and forth OCD run - complete with grunts, until he started nudging into peoples umbrellas and the like. He was sopping wet, and obviously not all there... Just as it looked as he'd get a face full of umbrella, the bus arrived. Remember when skateboards were the exclusive province of wacky teenagers and not wacked-out twenty somethings?

The kid nailed it - sweeet!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the obsession with skateboarding anyway?
