📣SKATERS struggling to progress⁉️
I’ll tell you exactly why. 🧙🏻‍♀️🪄
A lot of skaters spend years repeating the same tricks without training the physical qualities that actually support those tricks.☝️
🤹‍♂️ Skateboarding demands strength, power, balance, coordination, proprioception, reaction speed, and the ability to control your body while moving through unpredictable positions.🩰🕺🏻
If your legs can produce force but you cannot control that force on one foot, your skating has a bottleneck.
🧨 If you have good technique but lack explosive strength, your pop and ability to generate height can become a limitation.
🤕 If your ankles, knees, hips, or wrists cannot tolerate the demands of skating, pain can change your movement and eventually limit how much quality practice you can get.
And there is another huge piece: motor learning. 🏎️🚕
Research shows that external focus cues, meaningful feedback, observation, and varied practice can improve motor skill learning and movement efficiency. That matters because skateboarding is not a perfectly repeated movement. Every obstacle, speed, angle, landing, and line changes the movement problem your nervous system has to solve. 🧮♾️
That means your training should support your skating instead of competing with it. 🙏🏻‼️
Build strength.
Train explosiveness.
Develop single leg control.
Train balance and proprioception.
Strengthen the joints and tissues that take the most abuse. 🙇🏼‍♂️
Then take those qualities back onto the board and turn them into actual skill.🔮
You do not need to train like a bodybuilder to become a better skater. 💪🏻🏋🏼‍♀️
You need to train the physical qualities that your skating is asking for. 🧑‍🩰
That is how you build a body that can actually keep up with your skill. 🦋

🟩❤️‍🩹🟫YOUR BODY HAS A HEALTH BAR🟩❤️‍🩹🟫
I rolled my ankle, so I treated recovery like rebuilding a Minecraft world.
You don’t start by placing diamond blocks. You rebuild the foundation first.
Range of motion.
Strength.
Balance.
Proprioception.
Reactive control.
Then impact.
Each stage gives your body more capacity to handle the next one.
Your nervous system has to relearn where the joint is in space. Your muscles and tendons have to produce and absorb force. Your ankle has to regain the ability to react when the landing isn’t perfect.
In Minecraft, you don’t rebuild by pretending the creeper never exploded.
You gather the materials, repair the foundation, and build something stronger.
Injuries are kind of the same.
Don’t just wait for the health bar to refill. Rebuild the system that got damaged.
Built through injury, not broken by it. 🖤

I’m just beginning to see
Now I’m on my way
It doesn’t matter to me
Chasing the clouds away
Something calls to me
The trees are drawing me near
I’ve got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh
I’m looking at myself reflections of my mind
It’s just the kind of day to leave myself behind
So gently swaying through the fairyland of love
If you’ll just come with me you’ll see the beauty of
Tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon

Sitting on the floor with moody lights @shelbitheblueskye showed me this masterpiece by The Moody Blues. 1967
A memory I’ll never forget.

It’s been a while now
Figuring all this stuff out 🤹‍♂️
Husband | Artist | Athlete | Skater.
As if every part of me
needed its own little room.
But lately I’ve realized
I don’t want separate rooms anymore.

I want the kind of moments
that happen when you have someone
who makes the world go from
newspaper to comic book.
I want the paint still on my hands
after I leave the skatepark.
I want the camera in my bag
next to my gym clothes.
I want music playing
while something unfinished
sits on the canvas
I want to sing my favorite songs
while getting dressed.

A conversation turns into an idea.
An idea turns into a photograph.
A song becomes a memory.
A quiet night becomes something
you wish you could keep.

I want the strange ideas.
The late nights.
The clothes that don’t quite match.
The photographs with no explanation.
The ordinary moments that appear small
but somehow become the ones worth keeping.

Because a single line is how every masterpiece begins
But it takes a myriad before the picture forms

Maybe I was never supposed
to choose one thing.

Maybe all these pieces
were always part of the same picture.
I just kept looking at them
one piece at a time.

So I’m done trying to fit
everything I am
into something easy to understand.
I’d rather make something real

and let it become
whatever it becomes.

This is us 🧬

There are oceans that
calm beneath moonlight,
wildfires that surrender to rain,
storms that exhaust
themselves against mountains.

My heart does the same before your gaze.

June 13th, 2025 @esteem_skateboard_film began. It all started when we went to @southsidehtx to buy Big O’s million dollar lense. Ever since that day @wolfpatfilms decided to spend all of his time for the next year putting everything aside to give something priceless to skateboarding once more. It’s thanks to Pat that we have amazing moments to hold onto and remember. The blood, sweat and tears from every time that he pushed us past our breaking point. For every bet he followed through with time and time again when we landed our tricks on that “last try”. Thank you Pat, and everyone who had a part in this, for giving us… ESTEEM. 🎬🛹🩸

If Jack Frost lived in the Desert
He’d make snow flakes of sand
And walk on hot hills of ice
The heat lamp would scorch his blue skin
He’d hide in his bush so nobody would notice his sandy-blue-pink-flower-embroidered-suit. But the wayfarers would only stare harder at the anomaly. He’d eventually open up, probably put on a show, singing and dancing for the newfound sojourners, but quickly it would pass and he would be fated with his transient heart once more beneath the ancient starry sky.

‼️🛡️⚔️JOINT ARMOR:
Featuring @shelbitheblueskye 💕
This body isn’t just along for the ride
it’s a network of levers, springs, and signals
negotiating gravity every time the board leaves the ground
ankles fine-tune the micro-adjustments
knees dissipate impact like shock absorbers
hips generate the force that becomes pop
the core transfers energy without leaking it
wrists and shoulders catch what the ground tries to take
train the system
and the physics starts working for you instead of against you
