I love this earth. I love skate road trips, waking up inside my tent, unzipping the door, breathing in salt air, studying the furrowed bark of a redwood tree and the sound of sea gulls debating. I enjoy these experiences of nature before I push off on my skateboard to go get a cup of strong coffee and ride the local skate spots.

The documentation of downhill sliding, it's growth and the people involved. Information about retail slide gloves. Companies that support sliding and the next levels it is reaching.
