LIFE GOAL ACHIEVED

All right, Sean here, shoptaskyyc. Good to be here. So today I just wanted to jump on here before I show you the video, just because this video, although I'm not sure it's the most impressive thing I've ever done, at the end there's a trick that I completed that I honestly never thought I would ever be able to do. So I'm quite proud of this. That's something a little bit small, we'll get to it in just a second. But the amazing thing about inline skating, and maybe you have some similar stories you could share in the comments down below, is sometimes we're just capable of things that don't even seem possible. So let's get into the video and I'll keep talking here. So in this video I'm actually at the new Brighton skate park. You can see I'm not at the skate park yet. I just started on one end of the parking lot and I make my way through into the skate park here in a second. But getting back to that point of doing something you didn't even think you were capable of. So one of the best examples I can give of this was, this was many many years ago, jeez I couldn't even put a time frame on it, but the the back story is I got up super early in the morning, went and picked up my friend Richie Eisner from the Greyhound station. He had taken an overnight bus from Regina to Lethbridge. I picked him up and we went skating immediately. And leading up to this day, for probably years, I had this weird tick where I would just blurt this out. I would say 540 off the kink, 540 off the kink. And I didn't have any plan for this grand 540 off the kink, but this morning it just happened. We were skating early in the morning, not thinking, just yeah, in the flow, having fun, skating around. And before I knew it there was a handrail at the University of Lethbridge that we were skating. It went down, flat across, sloped back down. This is really cool here, these running crossovers on the steep ledge. We'll have to cover that in another video. But without even trying, I just happened to do a 540 off the kink this one time. Couldn't believe it. And that leaves me here. And that's what we call a flat spin 540. And this is another example of something that was just trapped in my brain and I would just blurt it out when I'm driving around and then I'm slightly bored or whatever. 540, flat spin 540. And I've been dreaming of doing this for years and I never thought here in my late 30s this is something that I'd be capable of achieving. But I did it there. Thank you for watching. Thank you for sharing in my excitement and my joy. And if you have something similar to share I would love to hear from you guys. Thanks again for watching. Namaste.
