Okay it is 853 a.m. on Sunday October the 22nd and I just want to take the time to thank all 10,000 of you who have subscribed I really appreciate it it has been somewhat of a long growth but I haven’t been as active as a lot of
People here on YouTube Just because of the uh demands of daily life and all that filming running a company you know uh teaching skate lessons which is how I make the bulk of my money these days and so I just appreciate all of you guys and
Uh I’m happy that I’ve been able to bring some value to the lives of some of you guys the comments that I get saying that some of you guys were struggling with certain aspects of your skating and that my videos have helped really what keeps me doing this and uh so I
Appreciate each and every one of you that take time to watch these videos and I really am grateful to be able to share my experience and have it resonate with and provide value to this amount of people so today is going to be something a little different uh supposed to go out
And film I’m actually waiting to hear from my buddy who’s got the spot some kind of hubba I really want to skate it because uh I’m finishing up my video part for the collage skateboards video uh I could be done now to be honest but
The thing is I have no no handrails no hubbas no type of gaps in this part so as it stands right now it’s basically all Ledges mostly big massive Ledges which is what I enjoy skating the most these days but you want to mix it up in
Your video part so I am filming sort of a day in the life I’m going to film everything around uh yeah going out to going out to film so uh before I get into how I’m starting up the day I want to plug the patreon
Group okay a lot of people over are over there now and they’re really engaging with the community um we have monthly Q&A I have everyone ask their questions and then I make a video going through and answering each of them some of them like a question from the October Q&A that was
About my stretching routine I’ll make a separate video about that just for the patrons and then the people who subscribe at the top tier they also get a monthly video Lesson or they can send in a series of their own videos and I can give them detail critiques on those
So if any of you is interested in that the patreon group is linked below and one more thing I want to plug is my song Memories uh this is a really special song for me um the subject matter for one it’s about looking back on your past and looking back at everything
Fondly and second my father plays saxophone on this track so it’s a song that I wrote and produced and mixed and mastered and my father played saxophone on it which is amazing to me because uh I’ve always looked up to my father musically him and my grandfather and my uncle all Jazz
Musicians that’s what I grew up around so I’m happy to have my dad on a song and the music video was made by my really good friend Jesse Carter claven she came up with the idea she went and got the equipment and created the story
She she filmed it she edited it she did a really good job and that music video will be out November 10th and the actual song will be out on all the streaming services November 24th so there’s a pre-save link to the song and there’s a link to the holding page for the video
Down in the description as well let’s get into the day in the life first thing to do on a day like this is to get a good stretch going so [Applause] when we looking back are we going to laugh or cry I’m going to enjoy every Moment I rarely get caught coffee out of home now because I enjoy making it so much at home um and yeah i’ I’ve been into making coffee for a long time before I got this thing but uh I used to make first French presses and then pour
Overs and then I ended up going down the espresso rabbit hole and uh can’t go back there’s nothing like making yourself a latte in the morning and first thing to do is to weigh out the beans I get these from trade this is not any type of sponsored video I used to
Have a coffee sponsor but uh fake news got them shut down rest of peace to auggie’s Coffee they were amazing but uh this is steady state this is Daybreak Glend so far so good just weighing out 18 grams cuz that’s the amount that made the best [Applause] cup when we’re looking back are we going to laugh or cry I’m going to enjoy every moment at the whole world made mistakes but I’m learning each one around learning from every second on the ground stumble is a jewel added to my Crown Rising Stakes are the reward for my hard work prises for hardships I never sh never expec to it any [Applause] Camera overheated so I’m shooting this with my phone at the moment letting it cool down a bit but yeah here’s my latte phone overheated which uh has happened to me a couple of times when shot in 4k 42210 bit ra uh log so I’m not sure why because I heard that people
Were able to shoot in 4k 60 on this camera until uh the battery died but I’ve been running into that issue as of late uh hopefully there’s like a firmware update or something cuz I really do love the the Sony a6700 and uh it really has added some
Production value to my videos even though the a73 I was using before was already pretty good this is like leaps above that as just as far as the picture quality and just being able to shoot and log and grade it and yeah it’s awesome so I’m just enjoying my coffee
For a minute then uh the wife and I are going to walk our dog Bentley and this guy here and then we’ll uh have some breakfast and then it’ll be off to skate taking out the trash just regular stuff some of you guys probably watched my Thief Part and remember this spot
Crazy I don’t know if I would skate that today but it definitely was cool To make it through that roller coaster my knee was like hurt for like a month I couldn’t skap for like a month because I had to jump off and run into that wall down there you don’t like them either huh Bentley I hate those [Laughter] Things picked up Lawrence McCullum he’s going to be filming today and we’re going to head to a spot get out of downtown and into Lincoln Heights got this little uh spot with benches and uh uh yeah about to get something Lawrence here ready to work World goal is to end my line on this bench right over here that’s the goal uh going to be a challenging one but I’ve skated it before and it’s not the worst cuz I know what trick I want to end on on the bench and it’s like
With my front truck and I hate having lines where it’s two tricks on the front truck so I’m trying to figure out something on the back truck for the first bench the problem with that is it’s at a weird slope and typically for me like back truck tricks don’t work
That well on bevel things so like back five O’s back Smiths and I already did a kickflip back tail on this for something else before so just trying to figure it out now going to stretch and warm [Applause] Up Up with the homie ghost yeah got a got a I got a line I didn’t necessarily get the line that I wanted but Lawrence what do you think what do you think it’s solid solid all right they they say it’s the dog is chilling they say it’s solid
So yeah I guess I’ll take it out here getting a little getting a little full cuz there’s a soccer game so we’re going to bounce before uh before it gets prohibitively packed which it kind of already is but you win some you lose some that’s why veterans that have been
Doing this for a long time always film a safety line so that if you’re not able to get the line or the trick you all you really want you have something okay so now I’m across the street from the Disney Concert Hall and we’re going to
Skate this rail I uh was landing on this front nose before it’s not a particularly difficult trick But the spot just looks amazing so try to get it just to have something beautiful some crazy architecture in it and uh yeah hopefully we don’t get kicked Out pretty good day but uh all done I’m back home now ended up Fallen a couple times at that second spot the rail had some support beams got my wheels caught in them twice fell back on my wrists to the bottom of a set of stairs at least
It wasn’t a big set of stairs like eight or nine stairs something like that that so called it quits and now I’m back home and I’m going to soak myself and get something to eat but overall a pretty productive day got a line it wasn’t the
Exact line that I wanted cuz the park started to fill up but I got something good that I can use for my video part and that’s a win in my book so thank you guys thank you guys for subscribing thank you guys for watching really appreciate you guys and if you
Want to see more stuff like this let me know and I’ll make more kind of just Day in the Life stuff
