Crushed

I did my cardio training at East Coast Park this evening.

Just having picked up blading recently, it's always nice to see improvement. It's been a while since I last fell, I've conquered the terrain around my house, which is a big achievement in my terms, althoughI've attributed that achievement to the fact that it was at night and I couldn't see the pavement well enough, and that's why I wasn't freaking out going over all the cracks and bumps and jumping the 1 WHOLE STAIR at the bus stop.

Sam took out my brakes for me as well, making me look a little more pro. He said that it would give me more freedom of motion. I guess it does when I'm doing my "off-road" terrain training. *beams* The brakes won't get caught in the uneven ground. That might have helped as well I reckon.

Anyhow, I was coming nicely along, blading my way back to the car when I heard a torrent of whooshes and swishes. A group of 5 blading bastards sped past me with seemingly effortless grace, gliding over the twigs and humps. I was determined to maintain visual contact, so I sped up.

I dropped my gear, sped up and shifted into top gear. 2 other blading bastards zoomed past me. A case of suzuki swift v.s. the STI. Damn.

Next time, before I go to the track, I shall practice at Bishan Park.. where nice families gather, and where I can shove the blading kids out of my way. HA! Take that!!!
