Hit up Cardiff the Gravity boys again Tuesday night. Another ass kicking, but super fun! Highlights were: 1) pulling off a steep downhill without bailing...out of control and almost took one of the guys out but slid hard and he pulled his leg up just in time. narrow miss. 2) drinking a case of pale ale sitting on the sidewalk downtown watching the sun set over the pacific.
low light was trying to get agro and get a toeside slide in on a narrow driveway. not enough speed, couldnt turn fast enough and slammed into a trashcan full of yard waste.

Whoa man, you're talking to climbers. And, at least in my and Mr Mud's case, to old climbers. I can read each of the words you wrote; they're in English. But what the hell did you just say?

Haha, sorry Brad.
I went skateboard last night in the seaside town of Cardiff with a bunch of guys that skate and work for Gravity Skateboards (a manufacturer). I didn't perform very well, but had a great time nonetheless. One success I had was skateboarding down a steep hill without crashing, stoping, or jumping off my board, an onsight if you well. Actually a redpoint because it was my third try. I was skating to fast and was out of control so I turned sharply which caused my board to slide down the hill sideways to control speed. I almost knocked into one of the guys walking back up the hill but lifted his leg up and I skated/slid under hit, avoiding a collision.
The beer part is understandable, I am sure.
One moment that wasn't so proud was when I was skateboarding down a hill and tried to turn off into a narrow driveway and turn sharply, making the wheels slide(loud noise), and come back into the downhill. Toeside meaning I was turning in the direction of my toes, not my heals. I was going to slow and couldnt pull of the turn, went to wide, and hit a trashcan that was full yard waste...

Got it now, thanks. And got the beer part the first time. End result: "but had a great time nonetheless," says it all.
Now just don't get yourself whacked please.

Thanks for the translation. Another old climber.

I understood what he said the first time.
