June 2004

‘S been a while the last few times Kev and I have hung out there has been more work on the art making than the skating though last time we were at Wallenberg, I got a 50-50 grind on a *tiny* rail on the ground…

And last night had a MAJOR BBQ…very nice indeed

The end of the year boardmeeting was a resounding success, and I have to say that I actually lament that I’m not coming into this program now, having waited two years, because it’s in such a better position now than when I started…though some say adversity breeds success…

I know that my experience in SF was at times difficult, and much of it was my own doing, sometimes I feel like I may have benefitted from a university setting, or being in NYC…

Those feelings pass, and I’m so thankful that I am where I am right now. I have the opportunity to take time to read, create art, and train.

My only complaints now are weather, (which supposedly is going to be better in Sept. and Oct.) and not having quite the same art scene as LA or NYC.

I just need to get more work online and send out apps. That’s what will solve the latter problem.

Still working on the ollie 180, and last Sunday went to Novato with Kev, it’s been a while since I skated there, so I wasn’t that fast, but I did get a sweet front-side grind…

Now that school is over, I gotta hit more parks…
