The Blog
Trish on Skates, is not about skating but about why skating is important, what the community is up to and how anyone can help. This blog will also offer tangible information, maybe how to do more advanced moves, or where you can find additional sources of skate education. It is my hope that you might find a nugget of info to make you a better skater.
While a Blog is about how you feel about a topic, and this one will be no exception, my goal is to connect the greater skate community for fun, for more opportunities and because it is what we are doing right now so why not be present, just now.
People who know me know that I have a fairly big personality and with that comes an ego. However, I have learned over the last decade that my purpose in life is not to build my ego but rather to use my ability to gather people on skates, at the skate school, or on the web for a greater good. It’s all about people, not individuals, certainly not me. I have had a leadership role in skating (and fly fishing and the french club and the church choir, etc.) for reasons I don’t quite understand. It is difficult for me to put myself out there publicly, to set myself up for criticism, gossip and public failure. But for some reason, again I don’t know why, I just keep doing it. But as Fran Lebowitz said:
No one ever said, “Things are perfect. Let’s invent fire.”
