Longboarding Right Out of My Rut - Nicole Utley

I was talking to Spencer about this assignment in the Ad Lab on Thursday when a kid from one of my classes (coincidentally also named Spencer) walked in with a sweet longboard. I jokingly announced to Spencer #1, "I'll just learn to longboard for my rut assignment!" And (to his goodnatured credit) Spencer #2 immediately offered to teach me.
All I have to say is
WHY HAVE I NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE?!
This video obviously doesn't really capture my super good skills..... Nor does it feature the part where I ran off the board screaming like a banshee just before a sharp, icy curve that I was certain meant our imminent and untimely deaths. (Unfortunately we didn't get that on film.)

I guess I always thought longboarding was only for adrenaline junkies, but it's actually super chill!

(Minus the imminent death part).

Definitely a game changer as far as hobbies go.

About myself, I learned that I really can do anything I decide I want to do. It's funny how the moment you set your mind on something, the universe begins to align to get you there.

Thank you for the challenge Cutri!
