So Much Beauty It Could Make You Cry

so we got real drunk, and rode our bikes....


slaughterama day 2 was a sight to be seen. over 300 gnarly bike kids from all over the US. 2 police officers. more than enough alcohol. Ryan Nyquist was there. I still have Phil's Canon rebel, so i took more than enough photos. View here. There are a couple pictures below, but all the rest are here. please, just click the links and view them pictures. k bye.






As my freshmen year slowly comes to an end I've realized growing up is finally happening here and now. Making more decisions, Creating a path for my life, and still learning in the process. As everyone else is the getting to this same way, don't forget to have fun...

Recap

Upon returning home and doing a lot of this.... I received the news that everyone that i used to hang out with and skate with are having "hate sessions" and just talk shit on me now. im pretty pumped on all this. I can say this has been one of the worst visits back to roanoke, dealing with the shitty weather, paying for gas, and mad haters everywhere. Thus a good start leading into this whirlwind of exams, art, and destructive criticism that i have too look forward to for the remainder of this month back in RVA.

On another note, i've been playing a lot of guitar and piano over break. Bringing me back to my band days....
I caught word of a miniramp bbq this week and got to shred for a bit before my leg started bummin again. Here's a little bit of the footage....

i wish i still had a camera

...to document everything that happend today, so instead im oging to link stupid pictutres i find online dealing with whati m about to write.

in deliberation of what to do, we ended up playing soccer in a parking lot across the street from john's apartment. levin kicked the ball onto a roof. AFter a failed attempt by hunter to climb up the sticking out bricks in the wall as well as pulling a few out, i made the climb. as soon as i got up there and threw the ball down, i knew i couldnt get down. so i waited on top of the roof until john found a latter inside and i was rescued. drove to blacksburg, got gnarly, ate burritos, life goes on. Go get coffee with hunter and some friends. while waiting fo the others still inside, hunter and i broke out the soccer ball once again. juggling and shooting goals back and forth in between two buildings for about 20 minutes. the final shot by hunter is made, the ball goes soaring over my head and his shoe flys off onto one of buildings we were playing between. however this was a nice strip mall with not jutting out bricks to climb and was way to high to find things to stack up to get up there. so hunter's shoe remains ontop of MillMountainCoffee as of now. We may return tomorrow with a latter, who knows....

Remix

-it's almost 4am on saturday morning. I made an edit/remix to the previous video. its only a minute long so hopefully it will be more enjoyable and not too upsetting.
-I'm coming home to Roanoke today and should be out and skating around noon.
-This was a brilliant idea.

Best Thing Since They Frosted Pop-tarts


I stole a tape from nick last time i was in roanoke. its footage from a day skating with levin and some sesh haterrs. it gets a little boring in the parking garage, i didnt really edit anything, i just took the footage from the camera, raw, uncut, and placed the clips onto imovie. and this is the product. i'll probably end up making a legit video with the same footage and musicc in the future. but for now, enjoy mothalickas!

Take two every hour




Spring break is finally here. This means no more projects or exams and nothing but skating for a week. Here's a couple videos from the last time i went home.Be on the lookout for more once i get back to Roanoke. WARNING: NO SKATE FOOTAGE INCLUDED.

March Madness

I'm seriously losing my mind. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be listening to and learning in school anymore. I had a meeting with one of my professors last night to go over my midterm project. Instead of going over the curriculum and the specifics of the project, she told me to make more friends... However thanks to Daniel at the greenhouse, I'm thought to be a professional skateboarder to my professors, so i hint of sympathy in my oh so busy Life of Ryan lifestyle is in effect with my schoolwork and never ending projects.
