Speed

[knox]

There is nothing in this world like going fast. You can't explain it to someone who hasn't gone fast, it's beyond explanation. You can't reproduce the adrenaline, it's beyond reproduction. The intake of breath, blurred vision, the absence of any thought. The moment you let go of everything, you forget about everything in life that's bothering you, that is speed. Its magic is to erase your memory, because when you are gliding above the pavement inches away from skin becoming mixed with asphalt, your fear mingles with excitement, your life brushes death, your sanity edges towards the psychotic. Nothing else matters but going another foot, and it feels good. It feels perfect. When you get out of this trance, when the speed leaves you, you are human again. Your friends will laugh at your apparent lack of self preservation, your parents will scold you for coming so close to losing control, but you know the truth. The truth is something you know, somewhat of a secret you keep to yourself. The truth is when you hit that high, when you reach that mountaintop, nothing can touch you. Life as you knew it melts away, your personality and past achievement means nothing. All that matters is the pure ecstasy you achieve, the unadulterated joy that touches your soul for a few brief seconds. This is speed, or at least a mediocre description of it. It can't be explained, it can only be experienced. If you want to, try it. The consequences can be dire, both physical and mental losses have been sustained. However, the reward is beyond your imagining.

The Kid, really though thats super impressive bro, I love reading and writing and if you have a nack for it man keep ahold of it, I was doing a peer review of papers today in my college class and youd be absolutely amazed at the lack of common writing skills that cant even allow people to make a clear sentence or message lol hold onto it my friend and keep at it, thats an EXTREMELY well written and crafted description, definetly scholarship essay material.......btw where u referring to a motorcycle?

The Kid, Do you have some nice hills out there?

[knox]

dvsfour20, We have some pretty decent ones. I am by no means good at longboarding, but it is one heck of a ride.

Slinging from behind a golf cart results in some pretty good speed too.

marcus. nicely said my man. I always appreciate a well articulated message. I honestly might have to borrow this for a photo concept if thats cool with you. I have experienced, to the t, what you described. On a long board but also on a motorcycle. I got a story about that one...that road was ridiculous. Talk about adrenalin. Good shiz man.
