I went on a tangent in 2003 where I was over analyzing the cutting down of trees for boards and ended up not skating much for around 6 months. I started calling my board "the 50 dollar piece of wood" and just sitting at spots thinking about the state of the world instead of filming dank tricks. In my defense, my dad died not long before this and my ex junkie g/f went to prison the same week. And I was also at peak drug use of my lifetime. Once I settled down on the drug use, I just started skating again and never really thought about it.
