still skateboarding ka?

This is one of the usual Q's when I met old friends. hehe... and I answered," not so much, just for fun".
And they will said," just stop la, you too old for that".  And I'll just smile.hehe...
To me, skateboarding is just like an addiction, I just can't let it go, (eventhough I can't do all those tricks..hehe). Just cruising on the paveways or concrete waves make my heart beat faster and this feeling is different.
Flashback, some time in 90's ,Me and my skate friends in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, we were skating every day at the Padang Bank (some cemented place near the river side). Yeah, those times, It's pure fun. Every friday morning we would skate in the morning, because all the shops were closed, and we can skate along the five- foot.Ollie the stairs and everthing.Fave  meeting place was the infront the Honyi, then we will be cruising around the town until some shops opened. Then we stopped for the breakfast. Ahh! it was great!
Ok, back to  the main story that I want to tell. As we skate everyday at Padang Bank, there always some onlookers. But one fine evening, a guy in his 30's( I guessed) came by, he rode  a racing bicycle.First he sat on the bench watching us skate, then he became friendly, and asked to borrow one of our decks. We just gave him, and he just rode it,no fancy stuff. Then he do the hand stand, peh! we were stunned, that's old skool.
 After a few minutes later he left. We thought he must be studying in oversea or he was  a skateboarder way far before us....
That was just awesome...


And now, I'm the old guy who still skate! .. and I just don't care...hehe...

Hand stand: this not the guy.
