before coming to las vegas i was playing ball pretty much everyday, and i felt that my game was trandscending to another level or plateau. i used to run drills by myself at solomon (school yard) and practice shooting and layups, i was really dedicated, but now that i am in vegas the basketball fever that i had is now losing its passion, but that passion has now dwindled down, due to the fact that it took me a long time to buy a basketball and the courts near me here in vegas are miles apart, but i still try to dribble here and there and do some warm ups around the neighborhood. but as basketball was drifting farther from me another sport..or should i say extreme sport was coming back around, and that was skateboarding, for some reason skateboarding came back around to me like how jordan came back around to the NBA to dominate the game, but that is neither here nor there. maybe it was because my brother kept skating in chicago and he would tell me how he would nail this trick and do that trick off of whatever he was doing it on and that got my blood vessels going, (damn why do brothers get so competitive), it made me want to be just as good, and i was jealous. it made my competitive drive and hunger stronger for skateboarding, so then i got a deck over at copeland boardshop, pretty sick place very down to earth dudes, and created a sick complete, a nice plain board with some silver trucks bones swiss bearings and some dark star flat land wheels. i mean it was nice!...so i started skating, and boy was i off as fuck. but it was ok, just trying to get the hang of things. whle this was going down i thought to myself, will my basketball habits die down? because i did not want to give up basketball either...the decisions in life are hard and complicated, but when it is all said and done, everything is worth it at the end and fun will never be bad, fun will always be fun. but as of now skateboarding has taken my heart and basketball is just set aside right now...
love and basketball? or skate or die? which one will it be
sorry for sucky pictures..getting battery for canon tomorrow for some action and entertainment
