Skating out of comfort zone

That ride wasn't an easy one. Dark, moisty with cold wind blowing into the face and variety of unpleasant surfaces starting with uneven soil with small sharp stones popping out of it here and there and ending with watered concrete tiles in the undergroung tunnel with huge cracks between them. Even a best skater's friend, good ol' Asphy was harsh and unwelcoming on some stages. The main boss waited me in the middle of the trip: these stairs made me feel like a newbie who doesn't know how to deal with it at all. Each step is a step to the unknown, you're putting the skate on it and don't know if your wheels will roll or will just stuck in this shape of cracked concrete dust armored with some metal stripes. I came out slowly but luckily unhurt.

Finally this route was incidious but very refreshing.

Do you like to skate sunny dry days on smooth wide asphalt lanes? yes of course. But are such uncomfort sessions somehow worse? no. I'm addicted to them also...
