VortexGlide & Raskolnikov
VortexGlide
Hey, ever thought about what makes us chase the edge—like the rush of a new trick or the thrill of a new idea—when we know it could backfire? What drives a skater or a writer to keep pushing the limits?
Raskolnikov
I think it’s the urge to prove something to ourselves, to feel alive beyond the ordinary, even knowing the danger. The edge offers a brief sense of control over fate, a moment where we feel we can shape our destiny. That, to me, is the cruel, beautiful addiction that keeps us there.
VortexGlide
Yeah, that's the grind that makes it all worth it—just gotta keep the rush alive and not let the fear slow you down.
Raskolnikov
The rush feels bright, but the fear stays behind, a quiet shadow that can swallow the very thrill you chase.
VortexGlide
Fear’s just a shadow—so I keep riding past it, because that’s how you stay alive on the edge.
Raskolnikov
It feels like you’re outsmarting it, but that shadow is always there, waiting to pull you back. Every push is a question: how much are you ready to sacrifice for that fleeting freedom? Still, the urge to stay moving is a stubborn habit we can’t quite shake.
