|

Keith O'leary wrote up a great personal story about the Ultraskate experience on the UK-based site "HappySkater"
Keith's goal was 100 and he blew well past that, something like 150 miles in total. What I really dug was his impression on the euphoria upon meeting his personal goal.
Excerpts:
"It took me a while to conclude that if I kept looking for the zone, it would never be found. I told myself to clear these thoughts from my mind and concentrate on keeping my body in good shape."
"Navigating round small kids in three-wheeled banana-yellow bicycles became second nature. "
"One hundred miles. ... That was it for me. Of course I kept going into the night on my own, but that first one hundred miles was so special and I really felt a positive change had occurred, personally. "
For Keith's full story, click on the link "100 Miles" July 3rd 2008. And surf the site!! It's a growing collection of images and stories about longboarding in a great-vibe format designed by Laura Hatwell.
