The Natural Way of Things in New York:

You go to a “perfect” rail spot that you don’t get kicked out of on the weekends, and get kicked out on a weekend.

You go to a bump to bar, but the bump has been smoothed out, fixed, and simply isn’t there anymore.

You go to a ledge that was unskatestopped, but it has a rail on top of it, and is completely unskateable.

It isn’t supposed to rain all day, but it manages to rain just enough to make skateboarding a lost cause, and stops.

I’m sure we all share similar experiences.

Back tomorrow. Final filming day.
