three years gone.
but never forgotten.
theres times when your with people that have so much love and respect for each other that it makes you so happy you can be part of it. well tonight, i expirenced that respect for the 2nd time in my life. the only other time i have was at the last ride....8-29-03....it seems like when everyone came together for tonights ride and the other one thats all that mattered, no one cared who was there, if you knew josh you were allowed to be part of that ride, if josh affected you in anyways, you were more than welcome to be there, yea, you didnt have to ride, not everyone did, like me and the other girls, well cept for julie and megan, we rode in the cars behind them, i spent most of the night just filming but what can you do, i like filming things like this. filming things that are so amazing that no words can describe them. i remember the last ride...that exact night, how i felt, what i did, who i was with, the respect that filled the air. it was so amazing to see so many different people to come together, to put aside their differences, even if just for that one night, and ride together, many people that were there that night had never riden with some of the other guys, but everyone gave respect for everyone else. when someone landed a really sick trick, everyone clapped. when someone finally accomplished that goal they had been going for, everyone clapped. everyone gave everyone respect, wether you knew the person or not, thats just how it was. people rode because it was a passion, not something they did cuz there was nothing better to do, they rode because it meant something to them, and i had more respect for that group of guys that night than i ever have had my whole life. tonight was pretty much the same, everyone got along. people just rode because maybe they hadnt for awhile and needed to, first perfect day for riding, because they felt that today, 4-7-04, was a day that belonged to someone who meant so much to all of them. who knows why they all decided to ride, who knows why they all decided to even come out, but something inside of them made them want to be there, and thats what matters. i mean, i saw tj learning how to do tricks on a skateboard from a younger kid named eric that had blue hair, i saw corey lay on his back and put his bike over him in the air and do tricks and what not, i saw so many people do things tonight that were just awesome, things that will be remembered. everyone tonight came out for one similar reason though....for Josh...he wouldve been 18 this year, but it never happened, his life was taken to early, to early for anyone to comprehend why it was taken, no one knows but we all hope to find out someday so we can think it was for a good reason, but theres never a good reason to take away an amazing person from people who cherish him, love him, and need him deeply
