Skateboarding...

the feeling of freedom as you push a 7.75" wide x 32" long peice of compressed canadian maple plywood down the street, or the feeling of acceptence when you throw some banger down the stairset near your house and you hear the banging of tails smacking the ground from the rest of your boys.

Skateboarding...

Clears the mind after a long day at work or school, takes all the bad things in your life and simply puts them aside for those few hours that you are out of the house just pushing along.

Skateboarding...

The rush you get when you learn a new trick on accident, your just skating, trying varial heels... when you overcompinsate a little and the board spins a bit to much, sure you didnt land the trick but it opened your eyes and mind to the thought of "well maybe i can get it to get the fully roatation?" and you get super stoaked on what could be in the near future.

Skateboarding...

Now its not always the most enjoyable experience... Most kids these days are to worried about " whats that kid throwing down that set?" or "i need to get footy and get sponsored" GET OVER IT! Skateboarding should never be a maticulous act in which you hate doing but feel the need to prove to others that you are better than someone else.

Skateboarding...

Worse then those who do anything for the fame and glory are those who go into solitary confinement when they skate... No friends, no fun, no nothing... Just them and an iPOD against the world... I mean, dont get me wrong I have had mine before you even knew what an iPOD was... But i dont go to the park blaring music to loud to pay attention to others skating... They give NO recognition to anyone who lands anything and often find themselves being ran into because they cant focus on whats at hand...

Skateboarding...

This double-edged sword leaves some bruised and broken, but its the price they are willing to pay to feel the freedom and acceptance that goes along with it. Others outside the skateboard world will never understand why we spend hours upon hours perfecting our craft... to them they see angry teens breaking the law and pushing around some 2x4's straped to some skates... they will never realize the impact skateboarding has had on so many peoples lives.

standing in a crowd full of people
yet she feels so alone
no one trurly knows whats traveling through her mind
no one truly knows the feelings she hold inside
everything spins around her
continuing in spirals that seem to have no end
everything know spinning our of control
leaving her standing there
in a crowd full of people
feeling all alone
with nothing left to do
but continue her act
to continue her spinning
but soon she will spiral totally out of control
and where she will end
we will never know

Why is Miss Vickies chips still called MISS Vickies? She was MISS Vickies back when I ate my first bag of sea salt and malt vinegar chips when I was 6. Why ain't she MRS. Old dutch or MRS. Vickies (if she woulda chosen to keep her name) by now 12 years later? Poor woman. I guess she's just too dedicated to the potatochip industry...like I am to skating. I really hope I won't be MISS StaceCase Mathews for the rest of my life though. *sigh*

It's Christmas Eve and definetly doesn't feel like christmas.  If words could only express how hard it's been raining lately then you'd understand.  But I don't think they can.
Though rain does bring 30lbs soaking wet pants and does demolish our snow base, it still brings a smile to my face.  The snow is soft, the rock gaps are still doable, and only die hards are up snowboarding.  This is the culture of snowboarding, the underground crew of people who's lives revolve around an obsession.  This passion that struck us all at a young age is still with us today, and though some strive for physical excellence, others just enjoy the time spent alone with their board.
I challenge every one of you to stop hitting the park, just for the majority of the day, and do runs.  Find those 20ft rock gaps over knolls in which you don't know if your gonna clear it or not.  Find those soft steeper pitches and learn Euro carves.  Find out what snowboarding originally was, and only then will you learn to appreciate snowboarding, no matter the conditions, weather, or snowbase.

Well, nohting to really say, but its time to change the journal. Oh i almost went blind yesterday, i was using a dremel (a thing that spins really fast to cut stuff) i was cutting pieces of metal for an art thing at school, and i set the dremel down for a second, to off my safety glasses and examined my work, then to my suprise it turned on again and spat up little metal shards which stabbed in to my eye, i took all of them out but one, and its still there, i never went blind, it was like a miracle or soemthin, but yeh thats my story.

dumb song, o well

Spiderman, Spiderman Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web any size Catches thieves just like flies
Look out, here comes the Spiderman

Is he strong? Listen Bud He's got radioactive blood
Can he swing from a thread ? Take a look overhead
Hey, there! There goes the Spiderman

In the chill of the night At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light He arrives just in time

Spiderman, Spiderman Friendly neighborhood, Spiderman
Wealth and fame, he ignores Action is his reward
Look out, here comes the Spiderman

Spiderman, Spiderman Friendly neighborhood, Spiderman
Wealth and fame, he ignores Action is his reward
To him, life's a great big bang up Whenever there's a hang up
You'll find the Spiderman!

It's so nice sitting very still,in a room where no one else can feel the pain that breaks my heart each day,I'm not ok.Sunlight shining through my window,let's me know that I'm still alive.Why did I ever let you inside my heart?I'm such a fool.Paint my face in shades of blood and grey and take a seat right next to me.But I should've known that you were a killer,but now I'm dead.A gaping hole,shot through my heart.A lost connection from your poison dart,shot from your tounge to end my life.But you're blowing at the fire to light your strife.You'll never know,the hardest thing about dying is,knowing you'll never see the light of day.A gaping hole - shot through my heart.A lost connection from your poison dart.My head now spins and my ears bleed gold.I try so f*cking hard,but I can't fit your mold.The hardest thing about dying is,knowing you'll never see the light of day.You ripped my heart out,you tore my eyes out,now you're gonna pay.I'll stab you one time,I'll eat your heart out so you feel my pain.Don't you know that I always see you in all of my dreams?I want to kill you.I want to kill you now,but I'm insane.

that's a song i've had in my head all damn day.it's called one eight seven by senses fail.

where has the oringinality gone in snowboarding... all it is now a days is 270 on, 450 that (excluding ptezels cuase there is skill in it and they are sweet).... I want to see some killer steez and your own tricks... Why are comps based on spins.... they aren;t that hard. I would rather see a sw bs noseblunt then a 270*......Reminds of a backflip on a dirtbike...or a 900 on skateboard... Ghetto
