i quit drinking.

Yeah, problem is, sometimes not all your friends are saavy to said activity...But I can see if you've developed certain tendencies, to want to avoid them altogether. Just saying it's more than possible.

bulls eye.

lol, i ride 80-100 days a season. learned hot garbage change-ups & hard way 270's today...

So I guess I'm a noob w/ my 50 days or so a season - what are these?

[quikveedb2]

hardway 2's are like spinning back 360 onto a rail but stopping at 270, obviously. you're blind to the rail until you land on it. hot garbage is a toeside front nose press and the change up is hopping from toe side over front nose to new switch back nose. again, blind the whole trick. hard to describe, hard to do...

I'll think of things my parents do; finances, educate themselves on pertinent political issues, poker night, cooking classes, dinners for friends, dance lessons, movies.

do you play any sports? you could join some kind of recreational league and meet some new people who probably have a more-healthy lifestyle that you are trying to emulate.

. what do you non-drinkers do with your spare time? it's cold at night here, no garage readily available or i'd have projects galore. i've been reading books and doing other stuff, but with this much free time at night and no companion i'm kinda going nuts!

Smoke pot and play video games.

hardway 270s - if you are a regular footed rider and are approaching a rail, there are obviously 2 sides you can approach from, the left and the right. take frontside 270s for example, if you spin front 270 from the left side of the rail, you end up doing a switch backlip. if you spin front 270 from the right side of the rail, you end up doing a switch frontboard. a switch backlip is harder than a switch frontboard since you have to bring the entire board over the rail rather than "hop" onto it, so spinning from the left is considered the hardway 270 out of that variation. use your imagination for the remaining 3 270 variations and if you're a goofy/regular footed rider.

hot garbage - say you do a frontside noseslide on a box, then imagine if your tail end of the board was pointing almost to the front of the box, it's sort of like doing a 180 on the box, but then reverting back before it's done. kinda hard to explain.

+ Me kthx

ya bring Pierre too

make a baby. pretty much kills any free time you have from 5-2am ;)

Yep, that'll do it.

good job dude. get some new friends whose focus isnt alcohol and drugs. get yourself a hobby, no matter what it is. you need to occupy your time. and stay out of the bars. if you keep going to the barber shop sooner or later youre going to get a haircut.
nothing wrong with having a few drinks for those who can. but if you realize you cant i applaud you for taking the steps to better your life. its good to be sober
