Your Mind is Racing Like a Pro Now

Scenes from last night's Bente Bente event at the White Lights. Congratulations to The Fort Longboarders! 

As much as I want to describe what they're doing, I can't really write accurate captions because of my amazingly vast skate tricks vocabulary. :P But to hear me say "wiiiild" the whole time I was pressing the shutter should more or less give you an idea of how good these guys are.

ThurSkate x FriSkate

"Because sometimes, you just have to push and see where inertia takes you. Because sometimes, losing control is the only way to experience elation at its rawest form. Let go of that fear - that gripping feeling in your gut that tells you to say no. Say yes instead. Say yes in reckless abandon. Repeat 100 times."

-Me pep talking myself while learning how to push

Little victories include getting some 10% decent panning shots.

Being able to push... three times max only. Baby steps you know? :)

Meeting some more amazing personalities...

...and being at the right place at the right time to take these three snaps.

So stoked I could ignore the fact that I could not feel my legs right now.

'Til next Thurskate,

Lessons Under The White Lights

AKA Five things I learned on my first skate lesson/on my first attempt at skate photography

1. Skate photography is an entirely different animal. I thought it would be like surfing's brother or best friend. But it turned out to be surfing's best friend's third cousin... from another mother. Shooting fast moving subjects under low light proved to be a headache. Nevertheless, it's a headache I'm willing to have everyday.
