EUTIERRIA
A POSITIVE FEELING OF ONENESS WITH THE EARTH AND ITS LIFE FORCES WHERE THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN SELF AND THE REST OF NATURE ARE OBLITERATED AND A DEEP SENSE OF PEACE AND CONNECTEDNESS PERVADES CONSCIOUSNESS.
SHORT SUMMER
TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN AND THE STRESS TO LIVE IN THE MOMENT IS HARDER WHEN YOU ARE COUNTING THE DAYS. GROWING UP NEAR THE OCEAN GAVE ME AN EMOTIONAL OUTLET TO RESET, THINK, AND SLOW THAT TIME DOWN.
A TRIP ACROSS THE POND
THIS PIECE IS SHORT, BUT ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE CUTS I HAVE EVER PUT TOGETHER. MY MOM'S ONE GOAL IN LIFE WAS TO TRAVEL TO LONDON, AND DURING MY THANKSGIVING BREAK FROM UNIVERSITY WE FOUND THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO THERE. SHE IS MY HERO, MY NUMBER ONE SUPPORTER, AND THIS SHORT IS DEDICATED TO HER.
DRAIN RAT
THIS SHORT CLIP IS FROM A TRIP I TOOK OUT TO THE DESERTS OF LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. BEYOND ALL THE FLASHY LIGHTS AND BUILDINGS LIE UNTOUCHED DITCHES COVERED WITH WASHED-AWAY SAND. HOWEVER, WHEN CLEANED UP PROPERLY, THEY CAN OFFER SOME PRETTY AWESOME SKATEBOARDING SPOTS. I WANT TO THANK TYE DONNELLY— HE'S THE SKATER IN THIS PIECE— FOR TRULY SHOWING ME WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT. YOU DON'T NEED FANCY CARS OR A BIG HOME; ALL YOU NEED IS A HILL AND A PIECE OF WOOD TO RIDE ON.
