A different way of looking at things. Günes Özdogan spot outside the Green Chemical Futures building at Monash Uni in Clayton. Lots of concrete hexagon-shaped stools in courtyard, too. Cool.

Kerb rituals

Recommencing kerb abuse and switch rituals with sloth. You’re welcome.

My new favourite spot – Kerb abuse

by rowan_peteramidoinitrite, repossessed to skate, skateboarding January 20, 2017February 8, 2017No Comments

It’s rough and raw. It’s not a skate park. It makes you work hard, for everything. I love it. It’s my new favourite place. I have this kerb all to myself (at night).

Early morning skate. Early morning grey.

It goes: “I’m not getting it done, but I’m having fun.” It’s a song about having fun and persistence, even when things aren’t quite going your way.

Deliberate practise with feedback

by rowan_peteramidoinitrite, learning and teaching, repossessed to skate, skateboarding July 15, 2016July 16, 2016No Comments
