Presidents' Day Skate Part Premier



This has been a great weekend. Lisa and I received some encouraging news at the hospital last friday. To celebrate, I went out and finished filming my video part. The rest of the weekend I got to relax, hang out with friends, read The Making of the Atomic Bomb, and edit (which I do on IMovie 11, in case you were wondering).

It's been about 11 years since I moved to LA with the ambition of making skateboard videos for a living. Obviously that didn't pan out. Rolling backwards into a pit at the Venice Beach ledges and shattering my VX1000 demoralized me, setting in motion a series of events that would change my life.

I am happy that after all these years I still get excited about skate videos. I realize that it may come off as immature, or a silly hobby, but skateboarding is a lot of fun. I hope I can keep doing it for a long time to come.
