Suprises


Life is full off suprises: dog crap on your nike's, rock in your shoe, car repairs, blown ankles. Im well aware that you're aware of this, but recently a suprise reminded me of skateboarding, and renewed my desire for it. My sister was diagnosed with Sarcoma, a form of cancer. It remined me that life is for those who live it. So Louisville, get on your skateboards and ride. Ride as much as possible, live people. Go have a beer at your friends, find a girl, and ride your skateboard. It may be a cliche', but its the truth, we must not take life for granted.
When I was in middles school I would read articles similar to this one, written by someone getting older, and struggling to keep alive, keep thier spirit alive that is. And I've carried that sentiment with me for along time, and this is me trying to pass it to Louisville, and anyone else who needs to hear it. The Photo above is me skating the Louisville pipeline and eating it fairly hard. It was an awesome reminder that I'm alive.

It's hard to imagine someone doing a better zine than these guys, they collect quality footage, and photos put together a zine that will blow your mind. They have inspired me in several ways; challenging me to step out of the masses and do something meaningful in skateboarding. They are TheProgramZine and they kick ass; go check them out at theprogramzine.com
