Blog# 2

            I hate writing. I absolutely hate it. It forces me to think beyond  my comfort zone and expand on things that should not be explained in depth. I understand that it is a requirement in acquiring a formal education and a necessary skill to have in a professional environment but if fucking sucks. I love skateboarding.  Thats my thing. I want to leave writing to those who enjoy it, especially if everything I write will be displayed publicly now that I am forced to blog for school purposes. I would never , EVER, write about skating. I don’t see how people do it. Its more of a feeling that I have difficulty transferring to potential readers of this blog. I am actually hoping that no one outside of my class sees this. I am a pretty private person. I let people know things on my terms. I am also not a nosey person. I give no fucks what others are doing so long as it is not affecting me in a negative way. My professor is tomahawking  me out of my shell and I hate it. BUT, I need these credits. he thing about blogging  about skateboarding is you can’t really talk about tricks every post. I think about tricks all day. If im daydreaming or zoning out I am probably thinking about a trick I did, almost did, or want to try. If I am not thinking about myself I flash back to the 100 of hours of footage burnt in my brain. Its never going away. I am happy about that cuz I can always entertain myself with my thoughts and always have something exciting on the mind. So, If you find this blog shitty, know that I don’t have a passion to blog about skating and this is for school purposes ONLY. Those who blog about skating are passionate about it, and I will leave that to them. I do know a lot about skating and have some a rather interesting perspective on it, but those thoughts are mine and I will ration them out in a vague limited manner.  Skating and my thoughts are all I really have and I need to keep some shit for me. 

Who am I

My name is Mark Davis and this is a blog about skateboarding. I have been involved in the lifestyle, progression, growth, diversity, and .......for more than two and half decades. My second love and first passion has has had me navigating and carousing the urban canvases from honolulu to washington DC. Although my initial introduction to the sport started on an army base in Germany, I didnt completely fall in love with it until moving to Maryland. Thats where I saw two movies, Gleaming the Cube, and Police academy 3, that would take my wonder into curiousity and begging my mother for one of the 4 wheeled planked skates. This blog is about that moment until now. It is about the journey, forefathers, brands, and cityscapes that have continued to hold my interest in this activity for so long. Lets Ride.
