winter is over!!!
here is a light edit of fall till spring in michigan

random thoughts in the fog part II

so as it was established last night appleton wisconsin is foggy as fuck. how foggy is foggy as fuck you ask? fucking foggy enough to have a second flight cancelled on a short 3 day, 3 long fucking days, bidness trip. now appleton is not only foggy as fuck, it is also small as fuck. so when one finds oneself stranded at the appleton wisconsin airport, united airlines in their infinite wisdom, with their grand foresight, puts you weary ass on a bus and you ride 3 fucking hours to chicago. so we may now enter the fine metropolos of milwakee to my 9 of the past 12 day itinerary. all schlameil, schlamazel, hosenpepper incorporated of it. oh and the fine roadside stop of "osh"vegas .... really? you cheese eating, permafrost mutherfucker?? oh well whatever. so now that i am here in Chi Town, i get to wait another 6 hours to board a plane back to Arizona. fuckin AWEsome! i love the mid west in a decidedly "i hate the fucking midwest" sort of way. oh and incase you are wondering

i hate fog now too.

for those of you from the midwest, my deepest apologize for my rantings, however, you really should come to your senses and move west.

random thoughts in the fog

it's a stream of conciousness sort of night. 8 of the past 12 days on the road. not on a skate trip, not on vacation, but working my everloving fingers to the bone. vegas, chicago, appleton wisconsin. and it's foggy. foggy as fuck, if fuck could be deifined as foggy. however that is one of the many virtues of the word fuck now isn't it? i mean really, has there ever been a better, more versitile word ever uttered by the mouth of man?? fuck, fuckin A, motherfucker. foggy as fuck, rad as fuck, fuck that is fucked up, fucking muthafucker, sitting in the motherfuckin truck. fuck. beautiful. so as it has been established, it is foggy as fuck, in appleton wisconsin. which is a foggy place. foggy as fuck. as it has been established. did i mention this is a stream of fuckin conciousness sort of fucking post. i wonder if i am offensive with the amount of F bombs i am laying down on this page. my thoughts would probably be more (or less) cohesive had i not been on the road for 8 out of the past 12 days, which in case you are wondering means that there has been no fucking to speak of. because i dig my wife and don't need to knock up some other slutty bitch in the midwest who will be fucking some other slob tomorrow night. fuck. i am just fucking tired and i think that it fucking sux that i haven't rolled with the homies in two fucking weeks. between being broken, fucking working, and being broken papi is getting to be a grumpy muthafucka. i needs to get my fucking skate on this weekend. so lets roll! if i had a board with me i couldn't skate now anyhow, because as we established earlier - it's foggy, foggy as fuck.

making up for not having my trick tip done this week

written ACE trucks review with pictures

Ace trucks......
Well I’ve skated them enough to have an opinion.

I’m not going to give them some kind of numeric rating or anything. I have never seen one I felt like I trusted, being so subjective to even what the numbers mean, or let alone describe performance for anyone but the person making up the numbers.
Just going to describe how they felt, and how they held up for me.

I of course had predisposed ideas about them before I ever had seen a set, even though I try hard not to let most of what I read on the net, or hear at the park about this product influence my opinion, especially if I’ve had zero personal interaction with said product. But of course shit seeps in.


One of the things I heard the most from the people who love them is the way they turn.

Fast, tight turning when compared to Indy's. And though I’ve not been the most die hard fan of Indy in the past, they really are the gold standard in skateboarding. Everyone already knows why, so I won’t bother explaining it.

They do turn sharper and faster. There is just no way around it. If you come straight off a set of stage 10's, these are going to feel super turny, almost squirrelly. My first couple of high-speed runs on them were a bit scary, but getting used to them was no problem at all. The fear turns to fun really fast.


One of the things I heard the most from the people who didn’t like them was that they bent really easy.
To be honest and fair to Ace, I made it my priority to test this. I went so far as to double the washers on the inside of the wheels to push the wheel out a little and apply more force to the outside of the axel,
then beat the shit out of them,

repeated front 180's off a 4 foot drop, and tons of fly outs to flat off a 6foot 1/4 etc...

no bending whatsoever, none.

The other thing I’ve heard from the people, in the NOT a fan list, is that they grind down super fast.
I’ve heard a few times now that they were made of a lighter grade of aluminum.
Admittedly, I didn’t get to do any outdoor skating on there, and almost no crete coping.

But I did put a few miles of dry un-waxed coping under them and was just starting to get lock in groves going. They didn’t seem to be warring any faster to me. I only had a month on a brand new set of Indys when I got the Aces and rode the Aces for a month of hard skating, so I can show pics for comparison on wear.

I did kill them though:
tail slides, blunt slides and a few 90 deg. landings shifted the axle on the back truck to the point I had to loosen up the toe side back wheel a half turn three times in a 3 hour session.
I was running wheel spacers but as I said above, I had doubled up on the inside washers. Don’t know if that would have an effect, but I don’t know that it wouldn’t either.


Overall, they were really fun to ride. Like I said they are a little squirrelly at first but once you’re used to them, the turning feels great, and I don’t think there allot weaker compared to indy, or any other truck out there.

Dan MacFarlane interview

sam:
Ok first off I would like to get the basics out of the way,
Who do you ride for, and a little about the company if you don’t mind?


Dan:
I currently ride for Mentality Skateboards, and Ollie Pop gum. I used to have several sponsors before I started Mentality back in 2003, but I basically sponsor myself since then. Also, my new type of sponsors are companies who sponsor and promote my products. It's a different setup when you're a pro who later makes their own brand and products. I like it this way better because I am in control now.



Sam:
What are your setup stats?


Dan:
I ride a 7.75 Mentality deck, Mob griptape, HKD bolts, Independent lows (moderately loose), Independent abec 7 bearings,and 52mm Mentality wheels.



sam:
When did you start skating, and what made you want to do it?



Dan:
I started skating in 1986, and Back to the Future introduced me to it, plus my brother, who is 2 years older and his friends started doing it. It looked like fun! I've been skating at least 6 days a week since then.



Sam:
I have a few friends who regularly give lessons at a local privately owned skatepark, and recently I went with them and helped give lessons a couple of times, I now have a whole new perspective and respect for this.
There is a fine line with what, and how you can talk to a kid these days, and that’s easy compared to actually getting them to understand what your trying to teach, or really figuring out how to express what your trying to get across, like I said, a whole new respect.
You seem to have this figured out, and excel at it, was this a natural born ability or something you learned or actively worked on?



Dan:
That's a long story, but here goes:
I love skateboarding and my goal was always to be the best I can be on my board so I could have the most fun possible. This goal created a challenge because skateboarding can definitely be difficult when you don't have any guidance... I had to figure most of it out by myself, so I learned things in a lot of different ways... I skated both ramp and street so I had to figure out how to "explain" the tricks to myself in ways that worked for me on these different types of terrain. I also studied skate magazines and videos like crazy, and the pressure of skating contests helped me a lot too.
This went on for about 9 years before I began teaching at the Magdalena Ecke YMCA in Encinitas, CA in 1995 at their summer camp. I actually instructed Shaun White there, and taught him to pump out of his kickturns and to frontside grind on a ramp. He was 8. At this camp I discovered that my background assisted me in helping my students learn and improve really quickly. I taught at this camp for about 6 weeks. After this camp I didn't teach again for years, but I kept skating hard and filmed, and competed a lot.

My mom is a psychiatric nurse, and around 1997 she introduced me to a sports psychology audio course, and some other personal development tapes during this time... It made me so much better at skating, so I kept studying these types of programs.

Then in 2000 a Vans Skatepark opened up in Houston and the employees referred a lesson to me.... In that lesson the kid learned 10 tricks in one hour... He was super happy and so was I.
I realized at this point that I needed to keep teaching. I ended up having countless clients at Vans and I honed my skills during this time. Parents were paying me good money and they wanted to see results, I did too, so I used this pressure to challenge myself to have the most effective lessons possible. It got to the point where I could guarantee my students learn 2 to 7 tricks per hour! Another driving force was that the better I got at explaining the tricks to others, the better I got at my skating! Also it felt awesome to know I was helping people of all ages and genders reach their goals, overcome fear, and do things they never thought possible for themselves.

After all this experience, when I came to Woodward's Lake Owen facility, they complimented me on my instruction and I could really see that I had developed a unique talent. Of course after teaching all those people there, my skill grew even more! And after I made Skateboarding Explained: The Instructional DVD, my ability to teach was even more effective! Nowadays I guarantee my students learn 2 to 10 tricks per hour in private lessons! I love it.


Sam:
I know you spent some time teaching at woodward lake owen, what I don’t know is how much time you spent there, and what you thought of the over all experience for both teacher and student?



Dan:
I ended up teaching there for a several weeks per summer from 2001 - 2006. It was a super fun experience. The campers have a lot of fun there, but giving instruction there is much more laid back than the private instructions I honed most of my skill doing. The campers have more of an open skate environment where they ask if they want help. It is really up to the instructors to keep an eye out for who needs help, so the results vary depending on who's teaching.


Sam:
Im also curious about how you got involved with woodward in the first place?


Dan:
I attended Lake Owen as a camper in 1993 and Eddie Elguera was the visiting Pro, and I had a great time skating with him, so I always wanted to go back. Then in 2001 my friend Jesse Reed got a job as one of the directors. He offered me a couple weeks and I was in. In 2004 they filmed a segment of me walking around teaching... (Look up Dan MacFarlane Skateboard Instruction on Youtube) The next day I woke up and thought of filming my long brewing idea "Skateboarding Explained" there.



Sam:
If you could what is the future of mentality skateboards, anything in the works you could tell us about?



Dan:
Mentality has a new line of product and a new team in the works, and we are also working on some other big things I cant talk about yet. Mentality means a lot to me so there is something always in the works. "Skateboarding is my mentality."


Sam:
Im always curious about a skaters influences both in and out of skateboarding, could you tell us about a couple?



Dan:
My skating influences are Tony Hawk, and Rodney Mullen, because those are the innovators I grew up watching, and they keep going, so I am still inspired by that. I also like Hawk and Mullen because they are great entrepreneurs at the same time. Any skateboarder who is innovative and creative influences me, really. Other people who influence me are the great teachers of self potential I study: Brian Tracy, Marshall Sylver, and Tony Robbins are some that you may have heard of. If you want to be the best you can be in any area of life, these guys can help you tap into your full potential.



Sam:
So you had something pretty big happen this week with the news of NHS completes being sold at Target stores to come with a copy of your “quick start” skateboarding explained DVD, that is really cool man, please give us a breakdown of whats going on and how it came to happen ?



Dan:
Thanks! I am really happy about it finally coming to fruition, because it took a long time. In late 2008 Bob Denike, the president of NHS contacted me with the idea to add the SE DVD with these boards, to show people how to start out. It was a huge compliment to me because I grew up riding Bullet wheels and sporting Skateboarding is not a crime stickers. At the same time, it was really ironic because I had already been working on something similar with Mentality and the Full Length SE DVD, with another company... That other deal didn't work out, so I went with NHS in the end. I am glad it worked out this way because I am in a more flexible situation with Mentality and the Full Length DVD.



Sam:
One thing that has really seemed to have grown to be a part of skateboarding itself if the do it yourself, and do it all mentality, this doesn’t only apply to spots, but every aspect of the promotion of skateboarding, just about everyone is a decent photographer, filmier, and editor, but to do all that stuff and add board company owner, teacher, instructional video producer, and all of the promotion etc you have going on, well that’s allot of hats for one man how do you keep it all on track, and as a former small business owner I know stress can be an almost constant, what do you do to combat stress?



Dan:
To handle the stress, I delegate as much of the workload as I can. I also have learned to stay disciplined, and even how to meditate. Meditation has helped a lot! It helps me keep my energy balanced in a healthier way. Also, when you are passionate about what you do, it makes the stress more tolerable. I have found that everyone ultimately experiences a similar amount of stress in what they're doing, so you might as well do what you're passionate about... Thinking about it this way helps me a lot. One other thing I learned is that through these ups and downs of life it helps to stay "mentally nourished" by regularly listening to and reading personal development books, and learning as much as you can to help you with what you're working on. Taking it day by day, while keeping your focus on the bigger goal helps a lot too. Of course, the ultimate outlet for me is to go skate.


Sam:
Anything else you would like to tell us about while you have our attention?



Dan:
Thanks for your support! Anyone who reads this please tell anyone you know who could use it, about the Skateboarding Explained video! Help me in my mission it to help as many people as I can to learn and improve through it. It is even coming out as an I phone app in March! You heard that here, first! So, look out for that one! Also, I have some other crazy things happening... I need any "experienced" skateboarding instructor, from anywhere in the world who reads this to contact me at info@skateboardingexplained.com because I may have an opportunity for you soon! Make sure to write "Attention Dan".
Other than that, I leave you with this great quote "Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe."

Road trip etiquette

With another road trip coming up very soon I was thinking back on some of the stuff ive seen go on during other road trips, some good, some bad.

For me a skate trip is as good as it gets, on the road with your bro’s, new spots, cheep beer, and making new friends, it just doesn’t get any better than that.

But that being said, there is always some kind of downer on every trip, and most of the time this is due to one or two people being selfish, and making the trip less for every one, with that in mind I thought I would write up some basic skate trip etiquette.

Keep in mind that these are all my opinions based on my experiences.

1-

Be flexible! Your dealing with a van or RV full of other people who may or may not have the same ideas on where to be, or what to skate, and even the best laid plans sometimes have to change.

If a majority of people on the trip all want to hit something, and you don’t, or you have nothing for that spot, throwing a fit isn’t going to do anything but kill everyone including your good time, if the spot isn’t for you, don’t skate it, take pics, shoot vid, drink beer, but don’t be a dick about it, don’t treat it like a personal attack on you, it isn’t, it’s a skate spot.

2-

Be flexible!! Your dealing with a bunch of people who may or may not have the same idea on where to eat as you, and sometimes stopping times are a major factor in where the van can stop for food, you might hate micky D’s, but if most of the van agrees it’s the best stop given speed, convenience, then don’t be a bitch about it, there is something in there you can eat, it’s a skate trip, not a gourmet food tour.

3-

Chances are the vehicle your rolling in isn’t yours, its one of the guys on the trip, or a rental that someone on the trip is responsible for, this means treat it way better than your shit, don’t spill shit (accidents happen of coarse) keep it clean, and at the end of the trip don’t volunteer to help clean it, just help clean it!!! Don’t be the person who jumps out of the van and straight into you car, believe me, shit like that gets noticed

4-

There is money involved in every trip, gas, hotel, food, etc.

Don’t make people go looking for your share, if everyone is supposed to chip in say $100, hand it off to the person in charge of the money at the start of the trip.

If things like gas end up being more money, and everyone one is asked to throw in another $20 (or whatever) hand it over without bitching, treat every trip buy in like a minimum, things happen, be prepared when they do

5-

There are always a few people who end up doing more work to make a trip happen, the guy who rents the van, the guy who goes shopping ahead of time to for travel food/beer, etc. be respectful of the fact they did that for you.

If you don’t like the bread, or the chips they picked out for you to eat, then you should have been there helping to do the shopping, or done it yourself, bitching at someone because they didn’t guess what you like to eat on the road is shitty.

And remember to thank the people who did the work, they didn’t have to do it, remember that!

6-

Don’t wonder off, having to look for someone or wait on one person while the rest of the group is ready to go sucks!!!!!!!!

7-

Be flexible!!!!!!

There usually isn’t super comfortable sleeping arrangements on a skate trip, you might have to share a bed, or a floor, or sleep in the van, don’t be a sissy about it, no one else is comfortable either, you whining isn’t helping, think of the fun coming the next day and deal, it’s a skate trip!

8-

If you get hurt it sucks, everyone feels bad, no one likes it, but it happens, if it does to you don’t punish everyone on the trip, we know your bummed, were bummed for you, it doesn’t mean you cant have fun, or participate, grab a beer and a camera, believe me, people will remember you manning up

9-

Have fun, don’t take anything seriously, it’s a trip, make the most of it for you and everyone else by keeping a good attitude no matter what happens

10-

Be flexible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really hope this helps, a skate trip really can be the most fun a person can have without there genitals being involved

back at the Ramp

gonna start rolling back on getting the ramp done, calzoni chris is in, stoked to get it built and skated. i'm open for ideas, so don't be shy

follow up question with Nate sherwood

this is a follow up question suggested to me by DR Bill Schaffer after reading the original interview, Bill is a far more experienced skater and interviewer than me, and his question seemed worthy of me bothering Nate once again.

thanks to Bill for his advice, and Nate for once again taking the time to answer.

Bill-
"I'd have liked to see you ask him a bit about the way skating has broken down into different camps - like street and vert. It wasn't like that in my day - or McGills."

sam-

as a 36 year old who still skates street, tranny parks,but was never a vert skater, and came up through the 90's, i have my own strong opinions on this subject, but was hoping you could share your for us

Nate-

Yeah my man thank u 4 the link it means a lot to me face book will not let me post it up :) is it the fucks part? lol so funny. oh well. dude i am honored by your kind words and thank u 4 the coverage. I feel u man i been in the game 4 so damn long it is crazy 4 us old guys. the different camps are messed up all this segroskation is bullshit. i cannot even go st skate now with anybody other than my tri pod cause 90 percent of the skaters all want to skate a different thing. "nate i need stairs" nate i want a ditch" nate i need a park" nate I need the mega ramp." i never care what i skate but dudes will fight over where to go i love skating anything rolling around on flat is just a s fun as a huge park. I thibk it is sad nobody is as open minded as they were back in the day. people have a lot more hate in them than they did then. my homey tim said it best when he said the comrodery is gone now kids never talk to eaCH other they listen to there i pod give u a hard face and act as if skating is some kind of contest all the time. huge ego's have ruined the world. the fact vert and park guys hate st. the fact street hates vert. the dfact a rail zero guy hates manny pads the fact manny pad guys hate rail guys and as well ledge dudes just want to skate a ldge but have to deal with bmx chips out of it add,s more stife, it is sad that none of the above can get along it is truly a sad skate of affairs lol.

No Cast, No Rain, No Worries, No Brains!

2 things:

numba 1 - Thanks Sam, that Notorius Nate interview was rad as fuck. looking forward to more o that in the future. good stuff! hey you gotta post some of that footy you been laying down up here.

Numba 2 - calling all AZFUKS - we gotz some skating to do! feeling frisky now that i am cast free and healing up, where we gonna skate next saturday?? i'm got an itch for old Tempe, who's in??

the notorious nate sherwood interview

some of you may know Nate Sherwood from his "notorious Nate" spots on Fuel TV's American Misfits show.
ive been talking to nate a little bit on face book, and asked him if he would do a interview for oldkooks, well he said yes, even seemed really stoked to do it.
im no interviewer, but hope you all enjoy this.


sam:
Ok first off the stats, could you list your sponsors for us?

nate:
Airspeed footwear. Deep end clothing. rekon skateboards , arnette eye wear willy santos and his workshop. bull taco tim taylor filming , jay reilly photo work , and my lady on cooking. linz p. kontrol wheels when they do not flake on mailing goods.


sam:
How old are you, and how long have you been skateboarding?

nate:
i been skating since I was 8 in 1988 I am 30 years old right now damn i feel old


sam:
What size gear do you ride (deck, trucks, wheels)


nate:
trucks fury EVO hi,s for a 7.75 wide deck by 32 inch long and 14'1/2 wheel base. clear grip if i can score it if not I beg Kristin S for some. 50 mm wheels as hard as can be from kontrol , when they flake and trust me they fucking do , i hit up ally chris and trade him lunch for plan b wheels. or beg my dowg matt in philly for some pusher wheels but they flake like dandruff so at times I end up buying some wheels or trading a deck in for some.


sam:
We all have influences in and out of skateboarding that help to shape who we are as skaters, could you tell us about one of yours?


nate:
man I would say Rodney Mullen Daewon Song both have given me insperskation over the years though their creskative mind sets and innovation and creation of tricks. rodney once said to me that yiou should never dork around that is when you get hurt. Daewon said to me that you just need to keep a positive mental attitude and you can pull anything no matter how long or how hard you been trying it for hours. rob welsh has been a big hero of mine forever. he is a nice dude as well. willy santos is my main homey and side kick even though i see him once a year at most now. brandon troy eggelston is my biggest hero outside of skating , he is my best friend. eric stricker who was a close bro and has not passed away was a great mentor on how shady the industry is. he showed me the ropes. SAM FRANSIK is the dude he rules. , RP bess gave me a chance when others were sucking at life. he showed me a lot on how to live off of skating but a lot of lame advice as well. lol todd miller and ted helped a bro out when he was down on his luck and they are chill dudes. paul at cal skate is my bro for life. dan and sean lafferty are my life long hero's i been looking up to them since i was 9 years old. jeremy klein taught me how to be hardcore and to tell people to fuck off who pissed me off. per Welinder is one rad dude as well. so many more i could write a phone book here. I have to say Seu Trhin is one funny dude and has my back. steve and greg at bull taco rock as well. they all shaped me in one way or another gave me good advice and I cannot thank them all enough for their help over the years. Dave Hupp Chris Fissel and rockmen chung mike chin and his older bro all been huge influences in my skating. to this day.



sam:
Ive seen your shoe with Air Speed, how did that come about, what do you do for the company, and what is it like working with a legend like Mike McGill?


nate:
man mike rules I truly am honored to be working with him. the guy skates hard. he rips and he is a down to earth cat. kristin and sumner as well as pat all rock and we have a great posse. j mac the guy who runs airspeed hit me up one day out of the blue. we met up for a meeting and the rest was history. i am trubro stoked to be a part of airspeed.



sam:
In all of the video ive seen of you, and spots on American misfits on Fuel TV, you always seem to be really enjoying yourself, skating joking, and playing, is that stuff truly representative of a session with nate?


nate:
yeah man I laban and ted just fallow me around for 1 weeks time and then they chop it up and boom there is the season.
nothing is planned nothing is blue printed. it is a full organic way to skate rather than my video parts where i spend 1 or 2 days on each trick AND after 2 years have a full part. I feel like my master work is in my vid parts but A.M. is my vent to the worlds to not take skating so serious like my mono lisa is in "more tricks less politics" or the up coming "i suck at life video" which will b e done soon I hope. but my relaxskation is on fuel. ted rocks and i am stoked to be on the show. it is like pollack i just splatter tricks and have fun jump around eat candy and go back to being 8 years old. lol yes i am like that 90 percent of the time it is no act. unless i am stressing a trick but that is rare for me. we just have fun skate and try not to drown or be ran over and it rocks.


sam:
Any big skate plans (trips, vids, etc) for 2010 you can tell us about?


nate:
yes i am headed to lv to skate with some dudes real soon. like late feb. i am wirking on the I suck at life vid, and as well doing non stop vids for you tube check them out under suburban mail box airspeed has me behind the camera and in front so i do mad stuff for them and their site www.airspeedfootwear.com so peep that. I am planning to head back east in summer and finish some biz that I did not get done last year there. i hope to get back home aka portland then as well. I have so many huge irons in the fire it breaks my head. trying to bang out as much covrage as i can for airspeed and rekon as i can trying to get deep end off the ground with the guts over there and as well just pay biils and sleep.


sam:
Lastly I would like to thank you for taking the time to do this, and providing quality entertainment for my family and I, we really appreciate it, and hope to see more of Nate Sherwood in 2010



nate:
no prob brother. I am stoked to do it. oh I would love to thank The Barna,s both for being rad friends and as well my mom and dad. my sis in p town. j mac at airspeed and geraldo at rekon and all my friends all over. oh tim taylor and sam f. and roy u guys rock. talks oon.
