Boards and Busted Skin

A New Interest

"Rolling. Go for it dude." The cameraman said, recording the 21 year old skating up to a planter ledge, filming the jump and the grind and the bail. "Ohh hoho damn. You ain't getting on thrasher like that man. Cmon, get up and try again." He said as the new skater picked himself up and shook his head, his hair parting slightly to reveal his dark pupils. "Alright, you got the angle right? I'll try it again." He said before walking back to the edge of the planter. "Okay... action." He had heard before he started to skate towards the planter before jumping up to the ledge, grinding the deck and landing it into a rail slide on the concrete as he hopped off the board. "Nice! Some more tricks like that and maybe we got a shot at this man. Dude I'm stoked, ok you ready or do you need a break?" He asked, setting the camera down "I need a break" the skater said, sitting on the planter and looking down at the ground to hold his arm and look at the blood seeping down to his hand. "Ow. Oh well." He said before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a small vape. "Medicate and forget." He said before taking a hit and exhaling while inhaling through his nose to cycle it through. "What cart is that?" The cameraman asked him. "Skywalker dude. Supposed to help mellow me out n all. It works wonders" he said before taking a longer hit to let it out through vape rings. "Fuck.. now I feel it.. my heart slowed down and I feel at peace now." He said before laying back on the grass and looking up at the tree over him. "You ever wonder if.. wait... the hell's that?" He sat up as he heard distant yelling to see a group of jocks chasing after two girls. "Ahh.. fuckin kids." He said before laying back down. "Should we help em dude? Seems only right.." he asked, getting a bit anxious. "No. I know those girls. They'll be fine, the tough one has her tricks." He said before getting lost in a daze.
