After too much Tony Hawk Skateboarding many years ago, I saw every rail very differently, looking for ways to link it to another trick surface. The level design of some shopping centres is awesome! Even now, after a few days snowbaording in RL, I see slopes of roads and grassy hills in a different light, imagining my turns and jumps. Appropriating spaces for alternative uses is fun - as a kid you did it all the time.
