to call the fuzz on me. I decided to try and
negotiate some sort of one-sided peace treaty.
I told her that we were only there for one pure
and simple fact, and that was to skate. Donna
pleaded with her emotional feminine side and
reminded her it was Xmas eve. The other skater
threw in a few, "Come on, just let us take a few
runs, to no avail. Getting desperate, I just came
out and said, "Look, we will take full responsi-
bility for our own actions and skate at our own
risk, if you could just turn the other cheek (the
lower ones preferably)." I also reminded her it
was Xmas eve. Goodwill toward men might still
be a factor here. She started to bend a little. I
had my brain bucket on and she kind of thought
it was a cool color. I weaseled my way back
into the shallow end. The other skater followed
my cue. I was stoked to have gotten this far. She
said she was going to make her rounds. I told
her we would be gone by the time she got back
and tried to get her to approve that plan. She
said, "I don't know nothin' bout no skatin',"
which meant to me, green light-it's a gol
The pool welcomed us with its wide open egg
shape. I instantly went over the stairs Indy air to
a combination of lapped over grinds, backside
air and then a switchstance shallow end slide.
Expecting to only get a few runs, my mind told
my body to skate like every run was my last. The
other skater whom I asked, "What's your name
bro?" was amazed at how I had finagled my way
in. He said his name but I can't recall if it was
Rick or Robert. He had some nice lines of his
own and was going for the stairs aggressively.
We sparred runs for at least an hour until rhino
butt showed up again. She tried to make small
talk. She said, "Y'all are crazy, yo gonna break
yo neck doin' dat." She told my new buddy that
he needed a helmet, too.
We took a few more runs and then thanked
her, and she said, "I don't know nothin'." I just
agreed with her and we slipped out the back
fence and into the dusk. The other skater came
up and said, "Cool session man." I answered
"Yeah, merry Xmas." I smiled to myself, and dis-
appeared into the LA night with Donna. That
familiar, contented, sweaty feeling of adrenaline
downshift was making me feel good. My mind
went back over the session's high points. It was
a gamble and this time I had won. No jail and no.
injuries, another victory. Yes! SK8 tough, that's
my motto with all sincerity.
Some of you might read this and say, "Man,
this guy is old and just ramblin'." Well let me
make one thing clear, surfing and skating is my
life! This is my dharma, I was born into this des-
tiny. I feel very fortunate to be 38 years old
and still skating hard, let alone being alive. My
skating spans almost 30 years and every day is
still a new experience. I'm still learning from the
youth, and also teaching what I've learned on
the road to becoming a man. If you can just
skate hard, fast and purely for your own satis-
faction, without judging others, you will some-
day know what I mean. I'm still paving the sky-
HOME way that we all ride together. Peace.
