**07022023 Circle A** We wanted to go Santa Cruz, but the entrance of the route to Santa Cruz was blocked by a ton of cars going to the same destination.So we abandoned our plans and changed the route. Our original plan was to go to a skateboard shop in Santa Cruz. But in the end, we decided to head to another skateboard shop in San Jose. I remembered hearing on the news about a shop called the Circle A, a local skateboard shop in San Jose that had moved to a new place. So we changed our destination to this shop. I had visited this shop several times before they moved. I knew the skateboard apparel brand from this store. And I liked the place for community with the cafe located inside the store. At the cafe, we could viewed photos of famous and not so famous skateboarders. The wall full of boards was also a delight to the eye. On my second visit, I replaced the wheels I had that were intended for cruisers with wheels that were better for tricks. When my skate coach Robert and I talked about skateboard stores, he mentioned the name Circle A, so I assumed it was well known to skateboarders in the area. We were so hungry that we hurried to eat the crepes. Afterward, we walked for 5 minutes. The crepe shop is located near the last shop and next to the Editor's office of Metro Silicon Valley. A coffee machine was brought, but it hasn't been set up yet. They are starting their operations with a minimum focus on board assembly, maintenance, shoes, and clothing. My daughter found a magazine called WALLRIDE zine. I asked someone about it and they explained that it was organized by members of the Girl skateboard team, among others. The zine included an interview and several planned articles, which reminded me of a literary magazine my friends and I used to make called Paper Knife. Later, when I visited the website to purchase the zine, I found the following description. >A zine of very unimportant interviews, articles and more. Lots of love, words, and other stuff that you can see, smell, touch and feel. In the store, what stood out were AKAI's collaboration series of products. A friend of mine mentioned that some of the products had a resemblance to the style of Shigeru Mizuki, but it turns out that they were actually inspired by Japanese art. I later found out that the collaborator, Esow, is a Japanese artist who used to skateboard in LA. In the store, What was unique was AKAI's collaboration series of products. An acquaintance of mine said that some of the products resembled the touch of Shigeru Mizuki, but this one had a Japanese origin. Later, I learned that the collaborator, Esow, was a Japanese artist who had skateboarded in LA. Another one that wasn't for sale, but I was curious about Pillow in the shape of a Curb. A friend of mine was surprised to see a product tag on it since it was just Curb, and when I looked it up later, it was one of the products that someone who likes skateboarding tried to make. For me, the skateboard feels like a Lifestyle Product. Around it, there are people's activities and things that move their hearts. It is not true that only products exist.
