I have such a soft spot for student filmmakers when I sell old gear. Fellow professional wants $5 off? Sorry, item is already heavily discounted. Bright eyed 20 year old can only afford to offer 60% of the asking price? Sure kid, go live your dream.

Has anybody done more to muddle their legacy while remaining industry adjacent than Koston? Seems like people just want him to go away.

Best part about ADHD is feeling well rested after a full night's sleep, having a huge cup of coffee, taking a healthy dose of dr prescribed meth, then staring blanky at your desktop praying for motivation only to be confronted with an utter lack of positive energy, to the extent of yawning. 1/3

Sight Unseen was the first video I bought myself and I maintain the fact that 20+ years later, if you're trying to show somebody real skating for the first time, you'd still struggle to find something as complete as Sight Unseen.

After discussing suspension of disbelief as a measure of success in building a street spot, how that applies to the use of materials and layout, and how I want to be tricked into thinking I'm at a street spot, I told them I want to build a park @mostlyskate.bsky.social would actually go skate.
I condensed 3 years worth of skate conference teachings on skateparks and shares public spaces into a 10 minute power point and the skatepark design process went from "How many slightly different handrails can we cram in" to "how do turn the seating arrangement for the rock wall into a skate spot?"

Hearing Daniel Wheatley talk about how Girl fumbled Antonio Durao really hammers home the fact that they're kin to a bad sports organization that lucks their way into success. They're the Jets, they're the Browns, they're the Texans.

As a PC user "Macbook only has 2 ports and one of them is for the charger" seems like a bad joke I made up off the top of my head, but its actually a nightmare I'm actively living as I transfer footage onto a friend's computer hoping the transfer time continues to narrowly outpace the battery life.

Spending my 38th birthday covering the first blind skate event and sleeping at an indoor park has more than made up for missing my annual NYC skatecation.

It will be designed to resemble the Cascades fountain, a familiar landmark here. There will be no metal edges anywhere. There will be trees and bushes in the space. You can huck the 3 block but its mostly a place to put your shit and chill. Bump to flat, double sided curb, ledges, and a China bank.

They're going forward with my ideas for the park design, which will feature a ledge plaza designed to look like it rests in a drained fountain separated from the rest of the park by a 3 block. The entrance will have a platform for vendors/performances that doubles as a manny pad when not in use.

If right leanings folks didn't have such tiny fucking brains, there would be no housing crisis. The "liberals" live there, rent free, there's just not enough space for everyone 😆

I was ruminating on performative Christianity and thought about the fact that year and years ago my Grandma was talking about how her most Christian child in practice is the least Christian in action.

Having and event downtown with a ramp 15 feet away from where I received my first skate ticket and had my board confiscated feels like a full circle moment.

I don't randomly talk to pro skaters because I don't like approaching people without context, but I'm excited for the NB demo this weekend because I get to tell Westgate he was personally responsible for making me realize I would never be pro when we were kids and I saw him at the Es Game of Skate.

Working on the script for my first short film and I'm realizing in my research that this has to be shot on VX1000s. There's something ironically hilarious about that being an anti VX1000 guy.

I really need to get out of this town because its killing skateboarding for me. I've got all the desire, but this place is draining the motivation. I haven't had fun on my skateboard since I got back from Portland.
