cruisssssssennnnnn............

The wheels slowly clicked forward as they passed over each square piece of sidewalk. My feet were planted square on the front of the board as I stood tall and relaxed with my whole body leaning forward in anticipation. The hill in front of me was a true monster. Their were cracks, rocks and divots that would end any fool's fun if they dared to attempt the impossible. Cars whished in both directions on the road as I started to pick up momentum.

click.

click.
click.click.

It was like the start of a huge roller coaster, except this didn't guarantee safety. I started to coast and get to the point where I knew it was time to either commit or leap off.

"Jesus! Be Careful!"

I leaped off the board and snatched it up. "oh, I will." I said to the neighborly fellow going from his home to his car. I then strolled down the hill thinking to myself about all the ways I'm not like Jesus. Just for starters, Jesus never skateboarded.
