Why does my 2022 Flip 2.0 board feel like a metaphor for existential inertia?

I was just cruising the local bowl on my 2022 Flip 2.0 – the one with the 7‑star V2 bearings and the 0.5mm flex deck – and something clicked. every time I hit the lip and pop an ollie, the board's response feels like a tiny rebellion against the static pull of gravity.

The trucks, set at 120° on the 5mm bushings, give just enough resistance to remind me that freedom isn’t absolute; it’s a negotiated tension. When I land a clean kickflip, the board snaps back, and for a split second I’m convinced the world is a series of micro‑adjustments, not grand gestures.

So here’s my take: skateboarding isn’t just a sport. It’s a daily practice of confronting inertia – both the literal kind that keeps the board grounded and the mental kind that keeps us stuck in routine. Each grind on a rail, each missed flip, is a reminder that progress is messy, but the act of trying reshapes the surface under you.

Anyone else felt a philosophical vibe on a regular session? Or am I just overthinking a session of street skating?
