The Art of Shredding
Lawless on Wheels, Concrete, and Why Movement Is Creative
People think skating is just exercise.
That’s how you can tell they’ve never actually shredded.
Shredding isn’t cardio.
It’s not a hobby.
It’s not “cute.”
It’s art made at speed.
Lawless doesn’t skate to look graceful.
She skates because standing still makes her restless.
Concrete doesn’t care about your mood.
Wheels don’t care about your excuses.
Momentum either happens , or it doesn’t.
That’s the appeal.
🛼Shredding starts the moment you push off.
There’s no pause button.
No “let me think about this.”
No room for overanalysis.
You move, or you eat pavement.
That alone puts skating in a category most creative practices never touch.
You can’t overthink while you’re flying.
Lawless learned early that skating is problem-solving at speed.
Cracks.
People.
Unexpected turns.
Bad terrain.
You read the ground the way others read a page.
Adjust.
Shift weight.
Commit.
That’s composition.
That’s rhythm.
That’s instinct.
😰 People call it reckless because they don’t understand control without rigidity.
Shredding isn’t chaos.
It’s trusting your body to handle information faster than your brain can narrate it.
That’s when creativity stops being theoretical and becomes physical.
You don’t “decide” your line , you feel it.
There’s a moment when the music hits, your stride locks in, and everything else drops out.
Bills.
Deadlines.
Noise.
All gone.
That’s not escapism.
That’s presence.
She skates to re-enter it sharpened.
After a hard session:
- Thoughts are quieter
- Decisions are clearer
- The body remembers it can handle impact
You don’t get that from sitting still.
🍃Falling is part of the art.
Scraped palms.
Bruised knees.
That split second where you decide whether to pop back up or stay down.
Shredders don’t dramatize it.
You fall.
You check yourself.
You roll again.
That’s discipline disguised as fun.
There’s something honest about wheels on concrete.
No filters.
No shortcuts.
No pretending.
If your balance is off, it shows.
If your focus drifts, you feel it.
Skating exposes you, and that’s why it’s creative.
It doesn’t let you fake it.
🧘♂️Lawless calls it moving meditation.
Not quiet.
Not soft.
Not slow.
But exact.
Every push is intentional.
Every turn is earned.
That’s art you don’t hang on a wall.
That’s art you become for a moment.
People ask why shredders always look calm afterward.
It’s simple.
When you’ve trusted your body at speed,
everything else feels manageable.
You remember:
- You can fall and recover
- You can move through fear
- You can choose momentum over hesitation
That’s a transferable skill.
In the Realm, shredding isn’t a side hobby.
It’s training.
For confidence.
For instincts.
For creativity that doesn’t need permission.
Lawless doesn’t skate for approval.
She skates because motion is where she thinks best.
Lawless Rule
If you want clarity, move your body faster than your doubts.
Push off.
Shred.
Trust the wheels.
