This weeks tricks to learn:

1. Air to tail
2. Front side 50
3. Fakie to front side 50
4. Fakie disaster
5. Front side disaster
6. Back side board slide

If I learn everything maybe I'll post a vid.

Time Flies

Here are a couple of pics of me with my brother and sister. The first pic is from 2002 the second pic is from today. Its fun to see people change... and stay the same.

Sunday!

We are definitely taking full advantage of having the mini ramp in the back yard. Here are a few pics from Sundays short but fun afternoon session.

This is my little sister Andy. She has totally got the skate bug!

Saturday Session

Last week I was a little under the weather, consequently I didn't get to skate my ramp. I almost went crazy. I think I was skate-sick, luckily skateandannoy.com kept me going. By the time Friday rolled around I was so excited to skate that I could barely contain myself. We had a fun family date: wonderful quality time, terrible fast food!

Saturday morning I jumped out of bed, mowed the lawn and declared it session time!

I have had my mini ramp for several weeks and have not tried any back side airs. It is harder [for me] to throw any type of air on a mini, but my brother had the camera and I like to see airs on film, I mean on mega-pixels. BS Air

I'm [finally] learning to do hand plants, they are not tweaked [yet] but I am landing them! I need to get my hand up on the coping. Today the mini, next year the skate park!

Wow! Life is full of so many great people, hobby's, passions and events, I rarely have time to blog about them. I have decided to try to get a post in more often and this time I have something that I am really excited to document. I finely did it! I built a mini ramp in the backyard! It is small but it is lots of fun! We have already had several very memorable sessions. Here are a few pics to help tell the story of a perfect Friday evening!

faithful

My church has two regular attendees. People criticize me for this. Apparently people think legitimate "church" needs more than two people. "Where two hundred or more are gathered in my name there I am". Is that how the scripture reads? UPDATE: my "church" is growing, we now have 5 regular attendees! We are on a mission to find truth and new ways to love God, ourselves and others.

What? about kev

I love music. I think I have written some where in the neighborhood of 50 songs in the last two years. I am always trying to get better. I am always fighting frustration. My biggest project is myself. I don't want to pass my frustration on to my kids. I use everything in my life as motivation. I am trying to relax. I enjoy a glass of cabernet to assist, but I will never rely on wine to relax. I believe there is more. I think God is different, bigger, better than church. I think we know less than we could imagine. I have no desire to argue religion or politics... I'll right a song and crank it to 11! I have no person on a pedestal. I am very thankful. I take nothing for granted. I am perplexed by the shortness of life. I am looking forward to not worrying. I want to build a vert ramp and catch big backside airs! I want to spend more time with my kids. I want to snowboard more with my wife. I want to tour the world. I want to play concerts at all the great venues. I want to discard bad habits and form new good practices.
