Fair enough!

Morocco 1

Wow.

Just had the best sunset surf on a right reef break.

Getting right in the pocket on my back hand, looking down the line to see the wave on fire with a red glow of the sunset behind it. The wave breaking as I ride it with little bits of spray lit up, orange, red and yellow.

Perfect, a moment I won't forget for a long time

Morocco

My board is all prepped and ready for the flight. A whole week of surfing, man I'm so 'stoked' for this!!

Travis Pastrana

I was watching 'X Games The Movie' a few nights ago, man oh man did it bring back some memories. 

There are so many brilliant quotes, and the amount of monumental, history making footage is just staggering. But one quote, or words of wisdom that really stuck in my mind came from one of the biggest legends out there...

...Travis Pastrana.

"I love being thrown in the deep end, and sink or swim, ok you sink, well try something else, you swim, man that was awesome, try something else!"

Just simple, Pastrana terms!

The King of progression. Never back down.

Hero.

Only surfers understand...

...the lushous smell of a new wettie

Cold Turkey

Never have I felt such an overwhelming desire to get out on my bike. I've not ridden properly for almost a month. Ill for two weeks,  last week here in London. I'm still here now, and I need to escape, I feel edgy and restless, like an addict twitching, waiting for their next hit.

I'm going cold turkey, as ridiculous as that seems.

All I want is that feeling of the open road ahead of me, the challenge of a hill climb, the thrill of a decent. Or the process of unloading my mountain bike, putting my pads on, and that first decent at Hopton, skipping over roots, cutting berms, and flowing jumps.

I compensate here in London and go for a run in a suburbanised park. It isn't enough...

...I've forgotten what it's like to be exhilarated by speed.

I've ground to a halt.

Progress

I think I've finally narrowed down what I want to do with my life. Something in the bike industry, or something like physiotherapy/sports massage/personal trainer. Or both. I'd rather help people get better and feel better, then help them get richer.
