When I started riding BMX as a kid, I never thought I’d still be riding in my 20s, never mind at 50! So this year I wanted to create a riding edit documenting that I’m still at it (however infrequently). I had a list of tricks I wanted to get on video and some new …
Jason Kottke says blogs are dead: Sometime in the past few years, the blog died. In 2014, people will finally notice… Instead of blogging, people are posting to Tumblr, tweeting, pinning things to their board, posting to Reddit, Snapchatting, updating Facebook statuses, Instagramming, and publishing on Medium. Of course he doesn’t mean that all blogs …
I got a yo-yo for Christmas (how old am I again?) and I was able to re-learn my old tricks. And now that I finally have a modern yo-yo with bearings, I’m able to take it to the next level. I’m still a beginner, but better than before…
This fall my brother built me an awesome bike. (You didn’t know that Brian builds custom bikes? Then check out Chapman Cycles now!) I pretty much just asked for a bike I can ride around (with the kids and without), gave him a rough idea what I was looking for (including the color), and turned him …
I’ve been riding a decent amount this year — obviously not as much as when I was a kid, but even a couple times a week is a lot more than I used to ride even a few years ago. My tricks might be old and out-of-date (much like myself) but they’re still fun!
I can’t believe it’s taken over two weeks for me to post about the King of Flatland 25th Anniversary Jam. It was such an amazing and fun day…but first a quick history. Twenty-five years ago the Cote family started the King of Flatland contest series in New Hampshire, and these contest were some of the …
Between 1987 and 1993 the Cote family held the King of Flatland contest series in New Hampshire. This year is the 25th anniversary of KOF, and to celebrate & remember the Cotes are having an anniversary jam on August 4 at Rye Airfield in New Hampshire. (Come if you can make it!) To commemorate this …
I’ve been wanting to do a quick video of what tricks I can still do, but shoot and edit it entirely on my iPhone. The first problem was finding a good iPhone tripod mount: there are a lot out there, but most require you to either take your iPhone out of its case or to …
This past weekend was the Worcester Cup Bonspiel, a curling tournament at The Country Club in Brookline, MA. The South Shore Curling Club sent three teams (I was on South Shore II) and all three made it to the finals on Sunday, with our team playing for the Worcester Cup! We were pretty proud that our …
Two months into it, and I’m still going. I figured I might lose steam in my second month of taking a photo every day, so to force myself to keep it up I followed fatmumslim’s photo a day: a topic is provided for each day, and that’s what you have to shoot. But for March I think …
