Skating is learned by watching other people
It's the sport here where going with people isn't logistics, it's method. A trick you've been trying for weeks gets unlocked by someone doing it in front of you, and that doesn't happen skating alone on a Tuesday afternoon.
How a session works
- The spot defines the session
- A bowl, a street plaza and a bit of waste ground with a ledge are three different afternoons. Whoever proposes it says where, and that already filters who it suits.
- There's no minimum level, there's a stated one
- In skating, day one and ten years in share the same park without any trouble. The only awkward thing is turning up expecting one and finding the other.
