feeling inspired

im here often. sitting, typing away on papers or critiques or whatever. this evening was much the same as the past ten or so. i took a moment to check one of the blogs i read, and came across this video. i thought it was quite beautiful. i've probably watched at least a years worth of bmx footage in my lifetime, but this one was different. it was a simple change, from everything ive ever seen. they put trails riding with piano, but the impact was all there. with the soft light pouring through my bedroom window, and the slight change to such a familiar pattern, i was reminded why bike riding is such a beautiful gift. its really a silly hobby, but i love it and appreciate it all the same. i guess i really don't have anything insightful to say, but maybe you'll enjoy the video. fast foward to 4:50 or so, and just enjoy it. this is the closest thing i've seen to what bike riding actually feels like. hope you guys enjoy.
