The traditional Strive Apart session is due again soon! It began as a tour years ago with a more or less serious contest approach, now it's a fine get together with fun elements which takes place at Heizhaus Skatepark in Leipzig, Germany every year.
Most people take pride in the city, town or village they hail from. It is a pride that manifests in important soccer matches, hip hop songs and, in the case of Eastern Europe, wrestling with pigs and other great traditions. Some people take greater pride in their home-country or city than others, and quite often people misuse their pride in forcing it upon others, the exact reason why no one really likes Germans. But, it is a great thing to have a strong, healthy feeling of pride of the place you live in. Especially when youre from Amsterdam.
Using the empty space between my second and third wheel, I plant the groove on the edge of the step, and in one kick I'm out the driveway. Gliding on 223rd street, passing the students going to school, I give the bike lane a new name, the blade lane. I arrive at Chuck's house and we're on our way to the Wednesday morning blade ritual with genuine people that I am honored to still be blading with.
He lives in Colorado, blades some cool shit and looks good doing it. If you're looking for the next dude to model your tricks and landings after, look no further. -Geoff Acers
