My Eulogy park edit.
So this edit comes with an additional blog due to the fact that I have already posted the blog on the eulogy blog site. Basically it is just a thought about the benefits of park skating for me. Now I am by no means a great park skater. I would say a mediocre or comprable park skater would be a better way of describing my park skills. Now this is certainly not a bad thing due to the fact that the advantages or skatepark are tremendous to all of us rollerbladers ESPECIALLY those who live in the midwest and get 6 months of unbearable cold. I have in the past not kept up with my park skating in the winter due to either lack of money or lack of motivation to skate something I was not particularly good at. However I have really grown a fondness for it this year. It has so many benefits, it is much better on your body if your learning to flow transition, it teaches you how to be fluid and link things together as well as increase your consistancy and mainly it keeps your skating legs on while you deal with the cold weather and lack of street blading. Over the years I have found that I come back to skating in the spring much rustier than I was the previous summer, I would always skate in the winter but only do basic tricks and basically skate for fun because the cold weathe zapped the motivation out of me. Now however I was able to skate very intensly at the skatepark and in turn when I returned to regular street skating this spring my street skating did not really miss a beat I have been on point with my tricks and filming and I am very grateful of the park this winter and give it all the credit for helping me not lose my familiarity with my serious blading side! so that is my 2 cents on my recent attraction to park skating!
