The smooth tension of the wheels screaming down the pavement. The fleeting moments of acceleration and fluidity. The contours of the surface rippling through your body. Ever since I was old enough to stand on a skateboard, this has been one of my go-to pursuits of happiness. It's true, I'm a tad old for this now. But just look at this road directly in front of my house, the perfect slope for #longboarding. How lucky am I?
