What is your passion? What do you love to do? Skateboarding is the ultimate freedom. No rules, no coaches, no time limit, no winners, nor losers. You are free to travel your own path. Skating allows you to momentarily lose yourself and feel truly free in a society struggling with war, financial meltdowns, and global climate change. How can something as simple as a skateboard make these huge problems seem so obsolete? I think it is the connection of a similar interest, that surpasses all language, cultural, and geographic barriers. Skateboarding has no boundaries, no limitations, and no prerequisites. It gives back to you, only as much effort as you put into it. The more time and energy you put into skateboarding the more it gives back to you. This is a awesome video about a skater from Brazil, who not only skates without the use of his legs, but does so professionally.
Props to Og de Souza, not only does he skate better than most, he looks like he is enjoying his life more than most people too. This is truly inspirational, getting out and making the best with what you have. Skating in Detroit is similar to Og de Souza's situation. We may not have the smoothest streets or the nicest weather but we make due with what we got and we enjoy it. Now get outside and go skate.
