The past year kept Bert and myself busy filming for a DVD, for an online trick contest and a documentary. Throughout this time there were many goals to achieve and there have been set backs to all the endeavors, but we battled them head on through. Here is something that represents the word perseverance in a sense of even through the tough times, the busy times, through a number set backs, Bert has pushed through and kept creating more.
Whipcade. This trick has been in my head for around 5 years now. I've started trying it seriously last year though. It was a long road filled with blood, sweat and tears. I'm so happy to have pulled it all together. Worth the time spent trying.
Filmed with Bert Ribul yesterday for our documentary film and we filmed some riding as well. Decided to make a short edit for my homie. Here is what turned out. Enjoy!
Beyond perception is the exploration of oneself. The strive towards success clouds our visions at times and we forget the simple of things like love. Love towards other people, love towards the things we enjoy the most in life, but most of all love towards ourselves. We are always worried how we are going to start heading into the right direction and where we are headed. In the wise words of Jim Carrey "You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world". Never forget this.
