Oh man. So I just realized that I was the most out of shape person there. Yesterday, Sunday, I drove home, got home about 1pm and have been advilling it every 4 hours since. This was the most intense skate I've ever been on. These guys skate so hard and don't even realize it. I give everyone including Jeremy HUGE credit for how they skate. It was eye opening to see how intense I need to be to even keep up with these guys nevermind compete against. Loads of practice will happen for me in the coming year. I will be starting a western mass skate fairly soon. Stay tuned. Meeting Dominique and Marie was fantastic too. I learned tons from them including some new tricks and ways to practice technique. I learned a lot from the NYC crew as well. I'm very intrigued by the hand springs and twirls they do. Yay Union Square Crew! “The skate consisted of just the right ratio of skating through new york traffic…”. Oh man. So I just realized that I was the most out of shape person there.
