A Stanceless Existence in 2010

Ahhh.... December 28th. The last Monday of 2009. It feels good to say that, it feels good to be moving on to a new year. A new year full of surf, skate, and snow sessions. But before we get there waves today! Who got some? I found a few with Josh the blue JC jammer. Nothing epic but interesting and fun. Waves are in the waist to chest + range and the wind is blowing lightly out of the SSW. Unfortunately it looks like a SSE wind is going to kick in and bring with it some rain/snow wintery mix. Get your session in now, the sooner the better.

Steve found this video with the father of all modern skateboard tricks, Rodney Mullen, being interviewed by Tony Hawk. There is no doubt that Rodney has crazy skill but I really never new that Rodney was just plain crazy. Maybe crazy is a bit harsh but I really had to watch this video about 3 or 4 times before I could comprehend what he was really getting at. I am still not sure but I think he is trying to train himself to be stanceless... No regular, no goofy, stanceless. Both ways are natural... The thought of stanceless had never crossed my mind until hearing this interview and it's crazy. He also talks about jamming his leg in a car wheel well and pulling it to the point where the bone would break every day for a couple of years... I am still not sure about what he is talking about there. Check the videos below and watch them a few times and wrap your brain around the possibility of a stanceless existence in 2010.

This is another Mullen Video... It's pretty much Rodney Mullen Day. So why not put him up here skating too.

So party on and Celebrate Rodney Mullen Day.
