Skating Happy Valley Analysis
Skating Happy Valley, OR
From giant, steep, and scenic hills to going fast down any steep slope within the valley. The sensations from going fast down a hill with only you and your board is an indescribable feeling. To some it may seem as little as a hobby or something to do to pass the time. Yet to me it’s a feeling like no other. As intense as it seems, 35mph+ is relaxing more so than anyone but a skater could fully understand. The rush yet soothing feeling of windy blasting against my face, the chill of wind yet the warmth of the sun beaming down on a perfect day. The feeling of sliding on my board, the feeling of gliding, and for that very moment, feeling absolutely weightless. Yet the greatest part of all is where longboarding can take you.

an experience of its’ own.
As some see only the main objective in a hobby or activity, not all focus on what comes with with they have interest in. My best times and memories have and still do come from skating within my home town and experiencing all the different seasons that I get to enjoy and be apart of for as long as I skate here. Winter, a time of cold dry air,
with dead and frosted nature. Yet though as grey and cold as it seems the soothing air and peacefulness of skating such a quiet time on the cold pavement in a trip of its’ own. Spring, a time of transition and blooming of nature, the beginning of nearly the perfect weather as things begin to warm up. Summer, a time of hot weather to mix with the hot pavement. The best time to skate with the nearly unbearable heat, resulting in going fast to be able to counter the heat with colder more consistent wind to cool down. Fall, the greatest time to me. A perfect mix of all, nature changing its’ own season and making it pleasingly visible to all. A true perfect blend of warmth while in the sun, yet slightly cold when in the shade and warm pavement mixing with the soft urethane wheels being ridden on. The perfect thing to do, spend my time, connect with myself, longboarding is when I’m truly at my best in life. To most a person’s activity or hobby is something to pass the time, yet to me longboarding is a lifestyle.
