Sightseeing

On occassion, you'll be driving down the road and hear "look at that" and you aren't sure if they are pointing to a curb, rail, ledge, or something like that.  Just smile and look excited even though you have no idea what is going on. 

We've been on the interstate and there was a rail that was way off in the distance but he always noticed.  I remember him pointing something out all the time and I would say, that looks awesome... you should skate it.  So, onetime we were going to be passing that thing that I always said looked perfect, we took an exit so he could skate it late one night and got there and it was a square rail with no approach.

That's generally what happens... something from a distance looks amazing to them and they can think about skating it for a long time but when you get there and look at it close up... it's square, there's no approach, or a really crappy landing. 

Sometimes I think it would just be better for them not to take the time and go look at it up close... at least they could hold on to the possibilities and the tricks they could do on it.
