27 minutes of cursing from the Sopranos. It’s beautiful.

Also anyone got any office space in the downtown area? I want to rent out somewhere and buy a bunch of glass vases and shit and then let people pay a few bucks to come in and smash that shit to oblivion. Sound like a good idea?

And I fucked up and clicked the wrong button on this dudes ( http://ttusk.com/ )comment on the photos recently added. He draws good. Cheers to fucking up!

When I lived in San Francisco I was working a super physical job 10 hours a day, 4 days a week, getting paid $75 a week and living off of food stamps. I was an intern with the National Parks Service. Yea, the first week I was like, what the fuck am I doing here? I’m a skateboarder. But I stuck with it and in the end ended up getting in a lot better shape than I used to be. It helped with my skating by hiking far as fuck, hauling rocks up hills, and it just kinda kicked my ass for a little bit. Right down the street from where I lived they had free yoga classes, and through the advice of some pretty girls who lived next door I started hitting them up every week. The classes were 2 or 3 hours long but time disappeared and afterwords you got a natural high when you walked outdoors.

I tend to stretch as much as possible anywhere and everywhere. Stretching helps with your ollies and flexibility. So utilize at your own desire. There was an article in one of the skate mags a few years ago asking pros “What would do you wish you had done different through your career?” and in the words of Rick McCrank…

“Stretched more”

Usually the first thing I do is just try and reach for the sky, or in this case the ceiling. Then I try and touch my toes.

Afterwords I’ll rise back up and stech my calfs, both sides. This helps with balance by the way. Then I’ll go to the ground and sit on my knees and lean back. Don’t rush this stretch. It took me a while to be able to get completely flat.

Then I’ll go into the allah sun prayer position which feels super good. Then I raise up back into an almost like ready to sprint position.

I go back to certain stretches a lot. Do each stretch until you feel good and loose. I also stretch my arms just to balance out my whole body.

Stretch both arms then I go back to the ground to the butterfly stretch. Just try and lean into your legs.

This stretch gets my lower back really in tune.

There are so many more stretches you can do. Being limber and loose will prevent injuries and increase your confidence on a board.

Next time in health… diet. What foods to eat to give you more energy, and what foods to avoid.

Peace.
