Seven years of autistic burnout and the loss of the athletic capacity I used to enjoy, and my body has finally rested enough that I can sometimes exercise without getting a migraine/collapsing in exhaustion for several days afterward. I have been rewarded with the revival of a special interest from childhood that I now have the adult agency to pursue: skating!
I have done some ice skating each winter for the past three(? or so?), which my joints liked but my sad muscles could barely hold me upright for. This year, my muscles decided to adapt to the exercise instead of punishing me for it, but the ice wasn’t reliable enough to skate as much as I wanted. Thus, the acquisition of wheels.
I am hooked. This is my new Thing. I study this Thing every day, and do the Thing as often as my body and the weather allow. Do you do this Thing? Do you do it on ice, or wheels, or both? Do you want to be friends?

This song will be stuck in my head for a while.
Also, it’s a fun edit, love how he ends it.

A more interesting example are most of Danny Beer’s skate edits: There, I don’t think I would like the music on its own if it was not connected to the skating.
But the skating looks like so much fun, daring, silly, full of raw energy — it’s infectious! ⚡
I do think that the music contributes to this vibe, though.

I think some music mostly motivates me because I associate it with something else, specifically skate edits.
The best example is probably the music from my most favourite edit of all time:

Reflecting back on this gem. Kids today won't ever know the feeling of #rollerblading with the ability to store both their #SNES **and **#Playstation consoles in their pants pockets, or even have a chain wallet and frosted tips. All while holding (10-15 tracks of) their tunes in a portable CD player. Damn, you guys really missed out. #90s
Finally! The stop video we've all been waiting for!
