What do you have so far? Odds of success?

Make sure that the last four people without their own board companies, get those board companies. 60/40

Stay under 175lbs. 80/20

Have knee not freak out, so I can skate more. 31/69

i was unaware people still had new years resolutions. is it age thing ? i can’t recall the last time i tried i participated maybe 10 years ago when i stopped drinking and eating meat but it took a while to get there & it wasn’t something that happened over nite and it was life style change . it was more of a midlife crisis then a new years resolution

Joust, I'm not good with calculating odds, which in turn is why I don't gamble, which in turn is why I don't follow sports, but I'll try to answer. For 2019, I want to:

- learn impossibles (60% of success, just need to put my front foot back on. Been trying for years)
- learn f/s axle grinds on tranny (70% of success, I've done them before but lost them. I know it's pathetic)
- gain twelve pounds (50% chance of success, weight gain diets are expensive and tiring)
- travel with my wife (90% chance of success, I just can't be a pussy about flying)
- start using saunas regularly (95%, easiest one)
- upgrade from part-time to full-time teacher (??% Praying it happens)
- write a new play (10% chance of success due to how I'm sober)
- finish a new poetry book (same as above)
- get regular 8-hour sleeps (20% chance, not sure why)

Happy New Year!

Lose 10 pounds - 73% chance of success (I am getting tired of bread)

Read more - 99% chance of success. I got some books for Christmas, so that's a start

Learn hard flips - 41% chance of success. This was a factor in my quitting all those years ago. That trick arrived and I could not figure it out. It would be neat to get them in my 44th trip around the sun.

Buy nothing, other than necessities. I figure I have enough gear and clothing to last me a year.

Did that last year. Bought one pair of work shoes when I needed them, no other clothing at all. Had enough skate shoes, clothes to go through the year... Now I will buy a few clothes for working again, but I will try to keep only buying stuff I really need. Saves time and money.

Skate more than one day a week

Drink/Party less

Pay off my credit card bill

FROTHY · « **Reply #9 on:** December 31, 2018, 11:18:17 AM »

Play outside more.

Be more like Ryan Lay.

pizzafliptofakie · « **Reply #11 on:** December 31, 2018, 11:50:40 AM »

Be more productive and creative. 2018 was a big year for getting back in touch with that side of myself, and I'd like to go even harder in 2019 and have tangible results to show for it.

also might try and buy a house

I just want to start being more active again. I'm signing back up for my local ice hockey men's league after taking a few years off. I was in the best shape of my life physically and mentally when i was playing a lot. I'm sure it will help with my skating when i'm not toting around all this extra weight in my gut too

Francis Xavier · « **Reply #13 on:** December 31, 2018, 01:26:54 PM »

Me and the wife want to travel more. Going to Italy for our anniversary in April. Definitely want to skate more,learn proper frontside flips, and since I'm going to school again I'll be pretty focused on doing good there. Considering joining a boxing club or something of the sort.

coyote2425 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 31, 2018, 03:32:41 PM »

Pay down credit card, more than minimum per month (odds: vary)

Skate once a week, must include popping (odds: can't do much worse than 2018)

Drink less (odds: depends on above)

I hate when people’s New Years resolutions are subtle brags, like “Enjoy the simple things”, implying that they are surrounded by complex diagrams and mathematical equations 24/7. We get it, Einstein.

As for myself, I’m trying to just enjoy the simple things in life more.

some people are christmas grinches. I'm a new year's grinch. ain't nothing changed, motherfucker. make lifestyle changes when you want and do it long term, not just for the month of january so you and your trendy ass friends and coworkers can do some corny shit together like detox your assholes or do more sit ups.

No debt - 70/30

Go on international trip - 50/50. Dependent on resolution number 1.

Lose a significant amount of weight - 10/90

Get a girlfriend - 0%

1. Get an internship for the summer.
2. Try to skate everyday this year, probs wont happen but it'll be sick for progressing. Gonna be 22 so I figured I might as well try to progress as much as possible while I don't have serious responsibilities.
3. Be more adventorous, I am kind of a shut in and waste time on the internet on twitch/reddit and it is a pretty greasy lifestyle. Hoping to leave that behind this year. I bought a ticket to see duster in LA as a start on a whim, but I might have to pay $60 to rent a car so that might not happen.
