HAPPY FRIDAY!
So… yesterday evening, I’m in the middle of creating something that includes shooting a short video of myself; and I’m hitting a BIG creative wall. My very rad wife notices my frustration and instructs me to go grab a 6′er (knowing that I’ve been beer free for the better part of 2 weeks now; gettin thangs done bruh!) to ease this mind numbing creative struggle that’s clearly frustrating me. So I do just that.
On this simple journey to the grocery… I decide to chill and cruise the area to clear my mind in the hope inspiration will hit me on this outing. The sun was setting, I rolled to the back of the local grocery and this shot popped in me brain bucket. Does it make sense? Is there meaning behind it? Do I care? Nope.
I snap, edit, post… and it turns out pretty cool. So, I take this “see it, do it” mentality back to the casa and get it done! In the words of Seth Godin “If you set your bar at ‘amazing’, it’s awfully difficult to start.” Take that to the bank!
I could never / I can’t / I’m not… has no place in creating. Argue for your limitations and soon they will be yours.
Moral of the story…
RIDE x CREATE

The RIDE x CREATE vibe is never not hand-in-hand with skateboarding.
Get motivated!
Quit arguing for your limitations.
Blake is one cool dude! Met him at the Toy Machine Demo earlier this year.
I genuinely dig everything about his style; so I’m pretty pumped that he’s officially, on board… with Toy Machine!!!
Make sure to purchase “Cosmic Vomit 2” to check out Blake and his mondo skate radery!
Oh man… I’m sure you’ve noticed a drop in day-to-day post radery. This is a good thing. WE ARE GROWING!! And with said growing, we’re experiencing some of those growing pains.
What does this mean:
I drink less / focus more / ride the same / value time / get educated / argue for no limitation
Kyle and I have been hoofin it heavy, and it’s all due to your GREAT support FOLLY friends!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

Featured Artist: Jim Guthrie
Album Title: Takes Time
Favorite Tracks: Difference a Day Makes, Don’t Be Torn
I just discovered Mr. Guthrie this past week thanks to Rdio. His new album “Takes Time” is a wonderful collection of chill sounds that will take the edge off any stressful day. I’ve found it plays best with the windows down and the bass bumping. But it’s also pleasing in my headphones while I’m getting work done. This album reminds me somewhere between the sounds of The Polyphonic Spree and a garage band.
You can check out jimguthrie.org for more info and his other musical endeavors.
