Today I told my mechanic I'd be driving from San Francisco to Canada. He popped the hood of my car and started poking around. "Do you have AAA?... yes but is it AAA plus?... and your not taking a rental car because its too expensive, right?"So what if I break down? I am going on a skate trip, so no matter where it happens there is sure to be some asphalt where I can engage in one of life's greatest pleasures, right?
So, I'm hitting the road, in my not so predictable car, revisiting old spots and discovering new ones.
Right now females represent such a small percentage of skaters, small enough that at some parks boys will still tell you that they've never seen a girl skateboarding... but thats all changing. There's a lot of girls (and women!) out there with guts and drive, scabs and bruises, and I'd like to hear all your stories. As for me, skateboarding is more than a sport, its a way of life and an agent for change, and amongst many who don't share the passion, a lousy excuse to quit my job.
