Lance Mountain "Future Primitive" Complete...

After reading my blog you probably got the idea that Lance Mountain was one of my main early influences in skateboarding and the outlook of it.

So, with that I give you the link to this Blue, Powell Peralta, Lance Mountain Future Primitive Re-Issue Deck Complete w/Independent 169mm Trucks, Powell Peralta Rat Bones 60mm

This is pretty much the set-up I had around 1987-'88 except my two decks were pink and I was riding the Powell Freestyle wheels.

So, I just stumbled across this video, and let me tell you, it is the most eye-opening, self-awarenessing, stick-to-your-guns, follow-your-dreams, video I've watched.

So, this company Odd Machine is located right under me in the new building I moved into. I had the pleasure of meeting one of their photographers the day I moved in.

The Girl & The Dead Squirrel...

So, this one is KNDA gross, sad, and funny in all equal parts. She loves the lil buddy.
At least the squirrel got some love before going to heaven, or buried behind the shed.

He did this the whole trip until his stop came up, at least 30 minutes.
