the only place i can do 360 flips is in my dreams. theyre so easy.

This. I've had lots of dreams where throwing around a 360 flip down a 10 isn't really hard.

i like that people are keeping his thread alive.

i was woken up from a really sick one this morning. i was with a group of my friends who don't skate but for whatever reason we were all going skating together. someone wanted to go to this spot that was a bank to wall that i dreamt up, but it got vetoed because there was a curb that you wouldve had to ollie over before the bank and some of them couldnt ollie. i said fuck it and just started skating where we were and did a little line where i front 180d over a manhole cover, did a shitty switch boardslide to regular on a bench, a kickflip that was a little rocket, then went up a bank and did a nollie shuv which i accidentally landed in manual and pivoted back frontside. i remember not knowing what to do on the bank and i thought about trying a heelflip but didnt think i was warmed up enough for two flip tricks back to back which is exactly what id normally think. the whole thing felt so real because all the tricks were done just as shitty as i wouldve done them in real life.

other than the dreams where i can ollie super high or manual forever, i never have skate dreams that are too wildly out of my skill level.

Had a dream where I was premiering the skate video I'm currently working on. My whole family showed up wearing ugly matching sweaters, and I thought it was hilarious.

The theater the staff put me in only had about 25 seats or so, and for some fucking reason they were mostly filled by unknown film students with all this camera/sound equipment as if they were interviewing people in the video or like setting up the premiere or something. I was psyched because it looked like a full house to me haha

Then outta no where, like a ton of people, about a couple hundred people, filled the theater as if they were all taking a smoke break before entering. I was ecstatic! They had to switch theaters because people we're sitting on the floor and shit.

Made me feel pretty optimistic about life and whatnot, and woke up in a great mood.

last night i dreamed that somebody loved me.
not mike tyson naked, it was frontside noseslides.
shit was amazing, i've gotten lucky and short to fakie over the yrs, sometimes i'll nollie or heelflip into one and it'll slide w/ a bit of control but generally speaking, it's a trick i can't do.
in my dream, i was on it so long i goes to myself 'oh, this is how we do it [this is peter hewitt]'.
it all made sense, wait dispersion and balance. i was sitting pretty like a regular slappy noseslide in the 90s.
whole car or no car.

The other night I had a dream that I was taking something back to my boss, who was for some reason living with my buddy Gino. I went over and Gino answered the door and told me my boss was in his room. So I went in there to take him whatever it was I was returning (I think it was a bottle of pills) and he was in bed. I went over to his bed and there was a dog in the bed with him so I remarked that I love dogs and all of the sudden who else is in bed with my boss but Spanly. Spanly jumped out of bed and was I guess in a relationship with my boss. I was like, "Oh wow Spanly is gay too I guess everybody's gay these days." I remember being annoyed because Spanly was all cool and my boss thought he was just the greatest. Spanly was this cool character and I was this dork and I hated Spanly.

I had this dream that I was skating in what seemed like a high school indoor basketball court with some ramps and stuff and then some other people come in to skate too. I was skating pretty good in the dream, but when I picked up my board the trucks fell off. The nuts on the hardware had disappeared and I was trying to figure out where they went. Just then, Alex Olson comes up to me and says that I need to put cookie dough between my trucks and my board and push the hardware through the cookie dough and into the trucks. He explains that this is a common practice shared by a large portion of skaters. I agree with him because this makes total sense in my dream and sounds like something I already knew about. He shows me his board and it has what appears to be cookie dough risers/using cookie dough as some sort of adhesive. He gives me some cookie dough and I do the same. I continue skating for a bit, then out of nowhere my skateboard turns into large but narrow brown paper bag. I drag and slide the bag on floor with my feet as if it was a skateboard. I decide to fake style more so no one notices I am pretending to skate on brown paper bag. In my dream this seems like a pretty standard skating issue that is not out of the ordinary. Sure enough, no one finds this unusual. I eventually get tired of dragging my feet and this bag on the ground, say goodbye to everyone, and leave.

Then the dream went into a completely different direction where I am in an action movie. I am not sure why Alex Olson was in the dream. I don't find myself watching that much of his footage a lot. I wasn't really excited to be talking to him, but he seemed nice enough. He did give me some cookie dough.

Usually if I am skating in my dreams I just do really big backside airs and I can do front wallrides where I ride straight at the wall, go up it about 10 feet high, do a frontside kickturn and go straight down the wall.

Crusing down a California sidewalk early in the day. Light breeze on my face, feet vibrating, sun shining in a cloudless sky.
A small gap appears in front of me, a sidewalk block is missing, leaving exposed dirt for me to Ollie over. Perfect! Fun! *goes to Ollie gap going normal speed, in the air, realizing im gonna fall short and clip my back wheels, sure enough I do, now I am flying through the air waiting to pummel the concrete, I try to get my hands out in front of me to break my fall, but they are heavy and I cant move them. Just before smashing my dome and face into the ground, I jolt awake with heart pounding and sweat on my temples, my girlfriend sitting up in bed wondering wtf is wrong with me.
I fall back asleep and don't dream for another ten years until I quit smoking weed before bed.

A couple nights ago I dreamt I was in this contest skating against all the best dudes. Or actually I couldn't tell if I was entered or what but I was just skating the course and it took a few tries but I did a stand up front side pivot on this super steep 15 foot quarter pipe. Geoff Rowley congratulated me and I think maybe even gave me a hug? I don't know

Also a month of so ago I had this really long drawn out dream where I was at this really fancy French restaurant and Dill was the maitre de or however you ducking spell that. It made so much sense, he was all greased up in his wife beater being uppity and treating people like shit but he said he had been waiting for me and everything was on the house. 5 star service, thank you Jason

Had a dream I had some of those new Adidas booties and all I could think about when I looked down at them was, "do they look like a loose vagina on my ankles?"

Had a dream the other night I was walking up up some underground stairs onto street level, entering a crowded group of people on the sidewalk when I see Frank Gerwer in the distance, I yell with cupped hands towards him, "Frank!!  respect!" He grins hugely and comes over to bro hug me, and then I told him how rad his recent hurricane he did in the recent thrasher mag was, when in reality it was only a boardslide.

No skateboarding lately but every dream has crazy architecture where I'm like, "I can skate this". Architect would be a dream job, literally. We should push the profession amongst our skate brethren.


I have a lot of recurring dreams, which usually turn lucid once I notice the patterns from other dreams I’ve had. I’m always dreaming about this sick ass park built nearby my house that looks kinda like this. It always looks the same, complete with hanging shrubbery and a small waterfall.

Aside from that, I’ve been dealing with a torn mcl, so all my skating dreams have been ending with me waking up when I bail a trick and land on my right leg. Injury trauma getting to me in my dreams :-(

Had a dream the other night where I was trying a quick feet line doing fakie ollies up a 3 block taking one block at a time. Later on in the day, I told someone I had done it and tried to show them the clip on my phone, only to realize it actually never happened
