I only get to skate at night, mostly
Skating during the day is a challenge, given WFH and the COVID-19 restrictions on skateparks here in Melbourne. Under the cover of darkness, I head out for a skate. I only get to skate at night, mostly. #RepossedToSkate #Skateboarding pic.twitter.com/3PY2ZqvEE1 — RepossessedToSkate (@REP2SKATE) April 27, 2020

I got to skate, late tonight
At the best of times, it’s a challenge to find time to skate. It’s either under the cover of darkness, first thing in the morning or late at night. This time it was late at night. Yes! Let’s skate (and film) together once I’ve found some form, fitness and first tries on this weird thing, and more. 🛹❤️🧠🛠️📹 #RepossessedToSkate pic.twitter.com/4OVueCMhkD — Rowan Peter 📡🛠🛹❤🤘 (@rowan_peter) April 24, 2020 Interestingly, the COVID-19 restrictions that limit skating at skateparks here in Melbourne hasn’t had a great impact on me, mainly because of the seasonly late sunrise – it’s normally too late for me to be out shredding by the time the sun…

I got to skate yesterday
I got to skate for about one hour, yesterday. In full daylight, and everything. I worked on the slappy-inspired crooked grind, where I slightly lift the front truck and then place it on the edge of the small ledge. The goal is to grind the front truck while the rear of the board flails up in the air. Got some grind action on the front truck, but couldn’t land any of my attempts. It’s taking a long time to land this trick, but I feel like I’m getting much closer to landing it than ever before. Felt much better afterwards.

It’s been a while…indeed
In November 2016, I was lucky enough to travel to Hong Kong for work. In the extremely limited time that I was there, I discovered @hkitskateboardshop squirelled away up a flight of stairs on #GRANVILLEROAD in #TSIMSHATSUI There, I bought some shoes, a shop t-shirt and shop board. The board is particularly unique, with the bottom graphic featuring a photo of the famous and extremely colourful Choi Hung Estate in Kowloon. Awesome! Cut to present day 2018. I’ve been riding #streetplantbrand decks for bit, particularly the wider shapes from 8.75″, 9.00″ to 9.5″, and above. Now, in the spirit of ‘flexible to the form, faithful to the philosophy’, I’m going…

My new favourite spot – Kerb abuse
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).

Learning a nose thing – Day 6
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.
