You may come across this sub and begin seeing pictures of random stair sets, ledges, ramps etc.
I figure I'll explain it ahead of time.
These spots are hallowed ground for a lot of skaters.
When you start getting your bearings as a skater you start looking at architecture a bit differently.
Ledges, rails, stairs, benches attract your attention along with the environment in which they exist. You start paying attention to the conditions of the pavement. You start looking at take off and landing areas.
Questions like:
"How's the runway?" "How's the landing?" "Is the rail sturdy?" "Is the bench rounded?"
We become both architects and structural engineers.
"What kind of concrete?" "Marble? I'm in." "Police presence?"
These kind of things go through our minds because it determines how well a "trick" could work out. So smooth concrete runway, good rail, good smooth landing area is perfect. A large pavilion with loads of concrete benches no one uses is fantastic. Maybe a little fountain for atmosphere.
I think back to the beginning of this segment. The October 7th attack. There is a video of a man dressed like a wizard running for safety. Pol put a screen cap of him running with the title
"why are Israeli Wizards in such a hurry these days?"
While that vibe faded fast, and they somehow got their Golden Boy into office and I've been worrying about anti-Semitism laws Etc, tonight (if this is truly a surprise to them, and not just a regular Sunday bombing) we get to feel that sort of disgusting Joy at the suffering of the people that destroyed my country when it was at the height of evolution and civilization. They destroyed my parents and my siblings. They destroyed my state and various States I lived in after that. I know it was them and I would never even bother to prove it to someone. For me I'm going to enjoy this although it feels Unholy. I am a saint first and foremost but for some reason I'm going to take this and relish in it. God forgive me
