Never Forget


Seems only fitting that the 100th post on this little blog be about one of the best skaters to ever push around Culpeper. It's crazy how school and work can seem like they drag on forever but the passing of a fellow skater can seem like it was only yesterday. I'm not gonna act like I was close with Hunter Payne because that wouldn't be true. I only talked to the guy a handful of times but I had alot of respect for him on and off his skateboard. Always a positive attitude and could pull off the most ridicolous jokes that anyone else would look like a fool to try. Way ahead of his time in terms of skating the dude was an absolute natural. I know his passing hit me hard and I'm sure it hit home with everyone else at the park and his close friends. I know it sounds cheesy but live each day like it's your last. If you have something you need to say to somebody whether it be asking for forgiveness or apologize do it because you never know what tomorrow will bring. Same goes for skating, never leave a spot saying you'll try it tomorrow because tomorrow the spot might be gone, knobbed or whatever. Live each day to the fullest, go bomb a hill today for Hunter or try to learn nollie overcrooks as good as him, haha good luck with the second one.
