Finally starting Twin Peaks: The Return. So far, I’m more confused than anything, but it wouldn’t be TP if I could remotely understand anything going on within the first episode.
[close]

let me know if you understand it after the finale .. still pondering that ep .. i love tp almost as much as skateboarding so if you want to rewatch it with me in the tp thread id be down
Man, I’m on episode 4, i think? And I’m still so very confused. Damn you, David Lynch, you mysterious bastard, you.
Totally down to fully rewatch once I get through it.

Gonna be heading up North to stay Sacramento for at least the rest of this year, started packing my shit and should be out of here by the end of the month. Stoked on a change of scenery after 20+ years in the same city

Fully moved into my new apartment a couple days ago and actually ended up getting the biggest room. Also relearned pop shuvs again after 6 or 7 years of apparently trying them completely wrong.

I saw your mom do a ollie to cooch drop straight down the big black pole, it was gnarly. she defiantly shut that shit down

Getting out of prison. Being 2 years 7 months sober. Making 25 per hour as a machine operator. 3 years ago I was living on my moms couch strung out on methadone. I made a complete 180 but the truth is I worked hard for it so yeah..it makes sense. Back on Slap after years. Thanks bros.

As you probably already know, the skate scene in sac is fucking awesome. It has a ton of great spots and parks and people are generally really cool, and you're only an hour from the bay- nice to be able to escape there when it's 100+ degrees in the summer.

power inn for tranny, mather field for a big street plaza replica. B-street is the classic warehouse one, it is pretty run-down but fun to hang out and omar and biebel have had footage there (and dill.) As far as shops, check out PLA.

being really inspired by music lately like when I was young. I didn’t know it could still happen to you when you’re in your late 30s but I’m stoked on it.

Just finished a bunch of new additions to our local DIY park, and it's basically an entirely new park. (shouts to bobby_peru and stabmaster for lending some hands too!) I'm extremely proud of the result and everyone who's been constantly killing it for our community for years.

Bonus stoke: Jenkem did a book release party in my area last night. I've had the book for quite awhile now but I still stopped by and shot the shit with some of them about skating/writing. I've been trying to write some stuff about skating recently, and after last night I'm definitely feeling very motivated about that as well as trying harder in general to contribute to the community.

you've been mentioning your interest in writing about skating quite a few times now. I write too (for a living) and would be interested in checking out your first attempts if you're ever looking for feedback, don't hesitate to DM me; I'm easy and open-minded about different styles and approaches so please don't fear, I might give you a few technical pointers if I ever feel like you could use some but I won't judge. anybody's effort to try and come up with text as a means of substantially exchanging with people amidst an ocean of Instagram clips and other short term, often self-absorbed bursts of expression is to be encouraged. so do it!

For a living!? How'd you pull that off?

well it's a very humble and most often six month-delayed living. there's no money in skate journalism, you do it out of love and take what you can get. I just freelance to the same handful of mags and media outlets non stop; used to be something I'd do on the side but I just recently lost my actual day job so now I do it full time. whenever I'm not out skating I'm working, and I sleep three-hour nights. coffee is my best friend. there's more to the job than the creative side, you have to be on the phone and e-mail constantly and network like a motherfucker, plus you have to deal with all the tedious tasks like interview transcriptions from audio to text, translations, web article layouts, with new content and projects that drop every day, it really is a desk job. I'm a huge skate nerd who got lucky and barely scrapes by. if you're concerned about yourself in the slightest, don't do what I'm doing. right now I have no real safety net in terms of monthly income (for the first time in ten years), although sometimes I'm working for four different clients at the same time, and that's after several years of literally doing it for free. otherwise it's a blast and I learn something new every day; I'm thankful. I also get hooked up with the occasional translation job on the side (of stuff I didn't write myself), and other similar side hustles, otherwise I couldn't make it.

Big respect. Also, considering the difficulty of your path, it's pretty cool that you'd be open to giving pointers to a would-be skate writer. I'd be guarding my turf ruthlessly!  ;)
