Daylight savings time!!!

Got a blood draw today for general panel work.

Didn’t freak out, and took it rather well.

Finally burnt out on social media; specifically instagram. Deactivated my account today. Gonna try to stay off for a week. If I can do that successfully, I'm going to delete my account and never come back.

Keep it for memories but delete the app. I remember I had a YouTube channel for years that had hours of videos of my friends and I skating growing up. I deleted the channel in high school because people were pulling up videos of me slamming in class. I wouldn’t recommend deleting the account from my personal experience; you’ll wish you could still physically access the memories

What I did is save all the pictures I wanted and made a new Instagram and put them on it just so I have a place where I can go back and view them, dont use this account to instagram with its just a place on the cloud to store pictures, then deleted my main account.

It's been a year so far and I have no wants to get back on Instagram.

Im playing with fang in like 3 days.

Then the next week ? i think. Im playing with HIRS. Fuck yes. I have 3 of their releases. The first 100. The next 100 that ends with my absolute favorite. The one with the long delay loop and the Gremlins sample. Its like my old shit but better. Best noisecore ish track ever.

Last time i saw them they was a 2 piece. I thought i was going to be the only one there. Nope. Good turn out for the DC. Everyone sang the dance/ OOOooooo part and i was like damn. This is so sick.

The sexy flexy. I might ask them to sign it. I know its nerd shit but they fucking rule

When I moved I threw out years of tapes, all kinds of first times landing tricks, friends doing funny stuff. Just in a bad place mentally then. It is still one of the biggest regrets in my life and the only one that I think about and can feel like shit instantly. Such is life, but at least I have one clip that was replayed to hell and back. Our whole school would watch our stuff later on or we would get it into the shitty ass school video news. Nobody would care about the news but our friends and teachers would always mention our clips we got on there.

[Blind Fisherman]

Okay, yall got me. Maybe I won’t fully delete it, but I need to stay off of it for a good while. It’s heavily contributing to my mental health issues.

Drop a link for us. I want to support a local shop since the one here closed.

I did a rock fakie today for the first time in well over a decade. I was fully padded and looked like an absolute dork but it felt like a big accomplishment in the moment. I’ve been skating consistently for the last 6 weeks and it feels great.

And that’s all that matters. Have a virtual “aw, hell yeah!”

I feel you on this an went through it in 2017. Stayed off  IG for 5 years, totally forgot about and moved on. But over the years I realized I lost contact with a lot of people. So, just be weary of that and make whatever extra effort you need to stay in touch if you want to stay in touch. I rejoined about 4 months ago to get in touch with peeps around the world that I hadn’t talked to in years. It has been really good, and have moved most conversations to WhatsApp.

Today is their first day open I think. Gonna swing thru and get some wheels

Found a good spot today close to home and came across a rad shirt while scrolling.

[Frank and Fred]

Couldn't get anything going at the skatepark yesterday. Skating by myself but not really inspired. Along comes a ponytailed deadhead pad dad in his 50s. He does about 30 mins of yoga before paddling up. I decided to be nice and not just my usual grumpy self. We had a nice chat. He could barely hit coping or ollie but his enthusiasm was contagious and really helped get my session rolling. Mutual respect and stoke carried us both to a better place.

...and then we started talking about Dragon formula urethane...

I'm working on this too. Kinda crazy how even just a tiny bit of kindness goes really far sometimes. Easier said than done.

[lamfordie]

Im finally able to skate without any ankle pain

[Heshrat]

I’ve been playing baskebtall a little more lately, and think I’ve gotten better at it in my 20s than I was when I was in middle/high school. I’ve been playing longer than I’ve been skating (since I was 3) it’s cool to get back into somethjng you kind of left behind.

I can only imagine, first rock fake in over a decade must have felt so rad! Getting second hand stoke off this

@JM @Crust yall are juicing me up way too much. Appreciate it ❤️

@fakie nollie
Gotta share the stoke

What’s next? fakie rock? Back rock? Front rock? Slash?

Got up at 4:30 this morning to go for an early morning bike ride with one of my best friends. He’s got 2 kids so it’s hard to hang out as much as we’d like to, so i end up meeting his schedule more often even if it means changing mine.

Got a flat on my way home but i was luckily right by a bus stop so that was nice.

[Justis]

Learned a new trick first time in a while

[IUTSM]

My homegirl Betty turned 87 today! After a vigorous 2 hr yoga class, we had a lil party at the center. Always an inspiration to do 5 minutes of forearm planks with 87 year old Betty leading the way.

I have 2 kids and it always means a lot when friends tweak their schedules to make it work with our busy schedule. I'm sure he's grateful for you adjusting your day to hang.

When I learned to weld a couple years ago I was treated like a baby and the person acted like it was the hardest thing in the world. I taught my two co-workers the basics in 15 minutes because I trusted them, built them up and explained it's not as hard as people like to pat themselves on the back for.

I'm really stoked and proud because they were so stoked and proud. I really enjoy teaching and this is a really useful skill to have at our job and in life once you see how simple it is.

Beautiful weather is moving in for the weekend and I cannot wait to go skate with my friends.

Nice! I need to learn how to weld. One of my buds got a welder and the first thing he welded was a patch on my car exhaust. Within two years he was fabricating custom lock boxes for our vans, bumpers, ladders, etc. they weren’t perfect but compared to what shit like that sells for, they are just fine
