Freestyler

I had been feeling sporty, adventurous and thus wanted to name this post as 'Freestyler'.

The consequences of such freestyle thoughts are that I had started to play tennis, I am on a course to build a six pack abs and had recently started skateboarding. Tennis and six-pack ventures were due to my long exposure to the happenings in the media and these two caught my interest majarly. Skating suddenly seemed very cool, and when topped with the thoughts of the possible impossibility of pursuing interests like skateboarding after my college pushed me into this sport.

It is skateboarding and not the regular skating because the idea of guys in twenties learning to skate is a little weirder (in fact it feels awkward when tiny tots zoom past me as I try to barely balance myself on the skates) than learning to skateboard. Also skateboard looks cooler. The recollections of movies like 'Steal', x games and other such funky stuff glorified this sport in our minds. I say 'our' because all the above ideas sprang up due to the mutual instigation between me and Bandi, apart from the self and external instigations.

One of the bomma-ism that came up when we went to buy the skateboard was the person in Sportus defined skateboarding as the next level to the regular skating. We mildly believed him in the beginning but later tagged it as a bomma-ism though we could be falsely accusing him of such charges. Also our initial experiences were in line with our judgment.

I end this post on the note of coming back as a skateboarding pro :p.
