Skating into Autumn, One Step at a Time

 

Had a long-overdue LSK8 session with my two fellow riders today.
The air has turned unmistakably autumnal—cool enough to remind us of the season, yet after a few rounds of skating and climbing, I found myself lightly sweating. The body knows.
I brought out my board with custom graphics for the first time. Visually, I’m satisfied. But when it comes to the dancing-style deck, I’m still unsure where exactly to place my feet. Too far forward, too far back—nothing feels quite right.
At times, I feel like one of those guys endlessly adjusting their snowboard bindings, chasing a setup that may never exist.
Maybe one day I’ll glide on it without thinking. Or maybe I’ll keep searching forever. Either way, that’s part of the joy.
Skate, laugh, climb, breathe. The sun sets, and we’ve moved more than our age might suggest. A good day.


久しぶりにLSK8仲間の三人で滑ってきました。
気温はすっかり秋のそれ。冷たい空気の中、乗って登ってまた乗って…気づけばうっすら汗。季節の境目は身体に正直です。
今日は自作グラフィック入りのボードも試してみました。見た目は満足。でもダンシング系の板はまだ「どこに乗ればいいのか」が定まらず、前後に揺れながら模索中。
この感じ、永遠にビンディング調整してるオッサンみたいだな…とふと思う。
そのうち自然に乗れるようになるのか、それとも一生迷子なのか。まあ、それも含めて楽しみのひとつ。
滑っては笑い、登っては息を整え、気づけば夕暮れ。年齢を言い訳にせず、今日もよく動きました。
