Smog and skateboards





These photos are of a place called ling ji. its a public area near where i live and we skate there without any hassel form security, which pretty amazing considering what you go through to skate in the US. The other photos are of a skatepark that we go to run by a guy named johnson. People here get the make their oun english names so you get some pretty good ones. like Thrasher, and one kid i know is named Janoski ( after the pro skater stefan janoski). you will also notice that it looks like an over cast day out. Nope, it was really hot actually. But somedays the winds just dont work to your advantage and all the smog just stays around the area. When it got dark you could really tell how bad it was. There are some buildings being constructed by where we live and they had lights on top of them for what ever reason. But the lights were reflecting off the smog and you could not see the actual source of the lights, and the building cant be taller then 10 - 12 stories. Now that just aint right. I think i am getting the black lung just sitting here. Please take time today to take a breath of fresh air for me!
