i know how you always love new music, and i don’t know if you’ve heard of them or not, but Stornoway is my new favorite. their song Zorbing is an infectious tune and can be repeated many times without getting old.
I see you like your skating videos, may I suggest this snow boarding video if boarders in Glasgow, UK. It’s got a really nice style to it and even if snowboarding isnt your thing I think a lot of people would appreciate it :) Great work as always, adding music to my ipod weekly!
I adore this blog. I look forward to checking everyday to see if something new has come up. Keep doing what you’re doing : ).

“The average person tells 4 lies a day, and 1460 a year. A total of 88,000 by the age of 6. And the most common lie is I’m fine.”
babies dont start talking right when they come out of the vagina, much less tell lies. you’re math is flawed.

Haha that’s flattering, thanks Benji ;)
Here’s the top three tips I’d say:
1. Get started. Now. Waiting doesn’t gain you anything.
2. Keep posting. It doesn’t matter if people are visiting, if you don’t think it’s having an impact. Just keep going
3. Blog for you. Don’t worry about other people. Write and post about what you like, or else you’re just going to lose steam. Make it about something you’re passionate about or really interested in. Make it so that even if at the end of the day, you’re your only visitor, that that’s enough.
If you do those three things, I guarantee you that you can be successful. The amount of visitors I get now per hour is more than I got in my entire first year of this blog. It just takes time, passion, and perseverance.
Good luck!

Hey bud,
I love the entire site- especially the music, but the mixtape is failing me. I can’t listen to 5 seconds of a song without it freezing up. Just letting you know, but not to worry too much because it might have something to do with my computer instead of yours. Thanks for the reality check your site gives me, I love it!

Kilian Martin is an amazing skater with some amazing videos with equally amazing background tracks. Just amazing I should say.
“It has been said that you will be hurt occasionally if you trust too much. This may be true, but you will live in torment if you do not trust enough. Trusting is a part of our higher nature. Doubting is a lower instinct. The latter is easy to do, the former more difficult–but so much more rewarding.”
