Long-boarding
One Push down,
One long ride down a hill
Wind in your hair making a cool breeze going through your face
Making the cracks in the road bigger than usual
Feeling like your tight rope walker
letting the trucks take you were you want to go
The flexible board fitting to your grip
Slowing down at the end of the hill.
Making a U-turn and coming back slow.
Up the hill a little more, having more balance.
To pushes down, then you go.
No question this time.
Keep tight, but a little loose
Try a swivel to the left and a swivel to the right
One more time the final lap.
Higher up the hill I go.
Down I went but less balance
I started flying down faster than ever.
My foot misplaced and BOOM!
My hands had felt like they were on fire, my knees all cut up.
Then I went again
