MINNESOTA
|
I find the scene here very similar to London's. The whole seasonal thing really brings people together physically and in the way we skate. I love spring and the anticipation/excitement it brings. The struggle against the cold is similar to the struggle against the rain in the UK - It breeds determined, open minded, creative skaters
