Hey… is it wrong that I want to be able to move like Matt Wilhelm? I mean, shit son, that kid has got some flow. Of course, I have to own up to never having watched a freestyle BMX competition in my life before today [[god bless Czech and Polish television… I mean really… I got to see Jan Swankmajer films AND a whole breed of other fantastic animation… and then this?]]. But I feel as though I have a pretty good aesthetic sensibility and even though he placed third in whatever battle-type comp. this was, I think he had better rhythm and style than the german and japanese lads. *shrug* Point being - I want to move like that.
I guess one day I’ll actually ask you what kind of riding you do. I really ought to get into either trials or bmx freestyle. Or shit, maybe I should start a whole new breed of bike riding/tricks on road bicycles, eh? Or does that already exist?
So much to learn, so little time. Maybe I should just keep up with my snowboarding… which I haven’t done for two seasons. *gasp* why am i writing you letters in response to your blog? well, because it’s 7:30 in the morning where you are and 15:30 where I am. And I wanted to exchange words with you. And you’re not ‘around.’
Boo. and. hiss.
Imagine my making a face characteristic of Ubu Roi.

Thanks for passing this [NPR thing] on…
