>>17888793>>17888844i ended up just going for it, but i'd drank unexpectedly strong wine before, and ate a big meal, so things in my stomach came out while outside. funnily enough, i found an empty doggy bag on the sidewalk to puke into. to add on top of that, it started raining, and i got in a mood because of how shitty the wine and nausea made me feel, so i just started walking back home. i was kinda ruminating in shame, looking at slopes to have fun riding down, thinking how i didn't let the kid inside me play, and the adult me was taking over with his hard alcohol and seriousness.
it was actually walking back, that i found a comfy little street spot that i didn't see skating on the way to the place i'd originally wanted to go. i didn't consider it a spot because there's usually cars in the lot, but today was sunday, so it was empty. i let my kid inside play a little, and i had a bit of embarrassing, yet rewarding fun trying to remember how to ollie and ride off curbs. as it turns out, my balance is way shit from what i remember, so i couldn't ollie that well, and on top of that, i'm super out of shape, so i couldn't do much more than a few attempts at a time before getting winded. i guess it's one of those learning curve things, adding the dimension of physicality on top of it all. i am glad i went outside all in all, but i'm gonna need to let adult me take a back seat with the wine next time, and definitely use him instead to check the weather before my board becomes drift wood.
