Cuts And Bruises
Tweet Yesterday morning was another skate session, four of us, it was good. We started at five bridges. No kick-flip yet, but, I did nail four or five smooth frontside boardslides; stoked! They were nice, I’m definitely getting them now… I just need to get one or two on film. We spent some time trying [...]
Friday Night Skate
Tweet After a spot of the all too familiar d.i.y, last night, I went for an hour’s skate. It was perfect. The park was empty, all mine, clear night, and there must have been someone with a brush prior, as the surface was nicely swept. No one around, plug in the iPod, and skate. I’m [...]
Skating Is All…
Tweet Wow, it’s been quiet around here. To be honest, the only thing I’ve done standing sideways over the last couple of weeks is some skating. I did a couple of short, evening sessions last week, and I think I’ll head out a little later tonight. The last time I was at the skate park [...]

Skating And Other Stuff…
Tweet I went for a skate this morning with Dave, the first of the year. I’m hoping to make Sunday mornings a regular thing. It’s nice to get out, plus, if I skated more than a handful of times each year I might progress past the just-beyond-noob sticking point that I’m currently at. I’m most [...]
Since I've Been Back…
Tweet Well I’ve been back for a little over a week now, so what have I been doing? First up, I wanted to post all of the daily entries from the trip, and, after sorting through a bunch of photos, I’ve retrospectively added some pictures to go along with what happened each day. It felt [...]
That's It, That's All
Tweet My sister bought me That’s It, That’s All for my birthday; I’ve watched it twice this week. She also bought me this season’s Absinthe movie, Ready, for Christmas (wow, I’m easy to buy for). Of the two, I much prefer Travis’ movie, it’s pretty sick. Despite being a big Absinthe fan (futureproof, more, optimistic…), [...]
Nikon D60: New Camera Kit
Tweet My new camera, the Nikon D60, arrived earlier this week on Tuesday. I was hoping to spend some time getting familiar with a few of the manual controls – but that didn’t really happen. I’ve played with it some, but that’s about it. I guess I’ll be on full auto mode to begin with [...]
