I am a little too easily disposed to seeing the sacred in skateboarding. But this early morning visit to the new Exmouth skatepark on a frosty January morning left me all wide eyed. it was -2C when I got to the park, but the crisp sun cast languid shadows across the concrete. The tall tombstone-like extension beckoned me and as i kick-turned on it, it held the sun’s glare in abeyance. As the solitary figure on this 21st century stone offering to the gods, the peculiarity of the scene was amplified. It sure is fun skating with friends, but these solitary morning pilgrimages serve a purpose all of their own.
