It's happenned to all of us, thousands of times, it's a gift that only skateboarding can give you. Either from a bus, a train, the back seat of a car. That hint of a spot. The angle of a wall, the top of a handrail that looks the perfect height, or the transitions at the bottom of a wall; all of which make our Skate-sense tingle and make our eyes dart around looking for land marks so we can figure out how the hell to find that place again, to see what it holds.
More often than not there are problems. Some can be overcome with a little ingenuity,others need a bit of heavy work and the rest are just not what they seemed in the first place.
This week I had one of the later versions. I'd seen this giant flower-pot thing a couple of times, I'd google mapped it's location and the other day I finally got the chance to ride over for a look/skate.
Bollox to that then. Oh well, I suppose I could always just saw the nose off my board.
