Ball Boarding
SKATE OR DIE DO SOMETHING ELSE THATS NOT SKATEBOARDING WITH YOUR SKATEBOARD
Everyone knows the old skateboard on top of a 2L pop botle, its a classic. Anyone can learn how to do it, and there is always that one guy who can throw the odd kickflip on the botle. But thats just one axis. ONE! Someone wise once said “one is the lonliest number.” Well its also a lame number. So there.
Before I go any further, a huge shout out must be made to the grand and generous sensei, John Barnett. He perfected the ball technique in the squamish ghetto as a climbing disciple. Today it is presented to you.
Lets get down on some zen sh*t. You know that string of balance that goes straight up through your pooper and out the top of your head, following your spine? That balance line.. Well, if you can get that line to match up with the ball, you can balance on it. Is it like riding a skateboard? Not really, but it is definitely better than nothing in the middle of winter.
