The Other Side Of The Grass.

Im sick. Im sick of sitting here. Im sick of sitting here waiting for life to hit me. To knockout all the air inside me. Im sick of waiting for things to go my way. For things to finally change in life. You ever wonder why we must go through the daily routine of waking up and doing the same thing? Why we must deal with the same problem and continually rushing through. Even then facing the same problem and expecting change is progression in an opposite way. Im sick of remembering what i used to have. What i used to think was right. What i used to want to do. What i remember was wrong with me. What my mistakes were. What i could have done right. What i did to have this happen to me. What i did to her to make her do that.

Im ready for change. Im ready to go through life and expect a whole new view. A new view that changes me for the good. Im ready for a change that will improve my personality. My behavior. My ethics. My feelings. And my life. Im ready for new people. What i want is to change myself for the better good of me. I want to wake up and be willing to go out and find myself. I want to wake up, dress nice, feel good, feel confident enough to talk and get to know the cute girl thats sitting a ways down from me. I want to wake up and instead of waiting for a good day to happen, i want to make it happen. I want to wake up to Ready To Go by Panic at the Disco and be so moved by the tunes to do anything and over come everything that stands in my way. Im ready for my life to start already. Im ready for what lies on the other side of the grass. 

Longboarders Unite!!

Hey there,

So one recreational activity thats been picking up lately here in Utah State is Longboarding! Its one fun thing to do and a great way to get around campus if your in a hurry or just want a good cruise. I think since the suns been out lately and there hasnt been nasty weather longboarding seems to be the best activity to do outside for a while, and i can agree to that!

So ive been longboarding since about last September when i actually got my long board. So until now, ive finally decided to pickup some of the awesome tricks that you can do on long boards. I started out simple with a Speed Check. Thats where you have your back foot hanging off a bit and kind of pushing with it to create a slide effect, it helps to slow down your speed a tad bit when your going down hill and stuff. Ive been working on those and i can do them a whole lot more frequent than i use to, also i can do them a lot more wide like. One thing that ive also been working on is a Coleman Slide with a pair of slide glove. I made my own gloves so that i could do hands down tricks.


This is the model of my long board:

With these Sector 9 Racing Formula 76 mm wheels and a durometer of 80a (I know, there a little scandalous)

Bad News:

While doing some of the tricks that ive learned with a few of my friends i recently kind of curbed the front of my long board... it sucks...


Good News:

I most likely going to get a new board over the summer when i can pay for one!


5 Reasons Why I Should Buy A New Board:

1). Its kind of damaged.

2). Its not Symmetrical, In which it has only one front and one back. I need a board that when i can pull off a 180 slide or coleman slide ill be riding the same way on the board.

3). I need a concave board.

4). I need a board that is built for downhill riding and free riding.

5). Last but not least.... I REALLY want to get a new one, because i want to make a better decision this time.

These are the boards im looking into getting:

               

With maybe these wheels:

Cool Huh?!

Im truly excited for a new board. I just need about $250 to spend! Shouldnt be that hard to get that much money... haha.

Later Days.
