Somebody Sunday's : This Guy

I won't go into to much detail because he prefers to fly under the radar but if you know who he is than you already know hes rad as hell!

MOTHERS DAY

Usually on Mothers Day I find myself thinking about what I can get my Mom to make her happy. This year I've been thinking about Colton's Mother (sorry Mom). My wife is also a Mom, to our awesome little boy Colton and is going to be giving birth any day now to our second child. I've been thinking about when Colton was born and how totally crazy the whole process is. It's almost unbelievable that we all got here that way except of course, that we're all here. Living with a child and the mother of that child has opened my eyes to just how much mothers really do and in a way that I could have never understood before, I think that will make my Mom happy. Thanks Mom and Wife for all that you did, do, and will do for your children.

Somebody Sunday's : Lino Gonzalez

Lino Gonzalez is from my home town of Southbridge Ma where he and I grew up riding Bmx. He's a few years younger than me so he was always just one of the groms riding around, until he wasn't. You see at some point he just stepped out of the shadows cast by the older riders around him, stepped out of the shadowy shit town were we lived and began to shine. He did it by getting good on a bike, sure, but more importantly he did it with the right attitude. Lino is true to himself and genuinely wants whats best for Bmx. While this isn't a line thats always easy to take its one that can't fail. He's married to a great girl, is a successful respected pro rider, started his own company, and just opened a shop. Now he casts his own big shadow. Check it out 90EAST and 90EAST on ESPN

Mom

My Mom is such a beautiful, kind, caring, and patient person. She makes sure to tell me how proud she is when I'm doing it right. She'll tell me whats up real quick if I'm blowing it, but the best thing about my Mom is she took the time to take the time, and that showed me how important enjoying life is. She lead by example and I followed, I can't thank her enough for that. Thanks to Mom and Dad for doing it right. Happy Mothers day Mom, I love you. Thank you so much for everything.

Somebody Sunday's : John Cardiel

John Cardiel is FUCKING SICK, theres no better way to put it and you have to swear because its the only way to even almost convey the level of intensity that is Cardiel. The dude rips, he got run over by a bus and hes still going. All Hail Cardiel !-SPK

Somebody Sunday's : Dr. Dorian Paskowitz

Dr. Dorian Paskowitz its a unique man who leads a very interesting life. Casting a side all the things most people consider necessities he lives the way he sees fit, which is incidentally to be fit. Hes written a great book called Surfing and Health that I think anyone interested in living well should check out. -SPK

Somebody Sunday : Sion Milosky

I didn't know Sion Milosky but he died surfing and took time to surf with his daughters so that makes him somebody in my book. -SPK

Somebody Sunday : Yancy Spencer III

I've surfed with Yancy during my brief stint in Florida it was about 12 years ago and he was ripping, had cool van too.
Yancy Spencer III passed last month while surfing Malibu, the man died surfing. Dying sucks but what are the chances your going to die doing what you love? I tell you they increase a lot when you make it a point to do what you love all the time. Thats what Yancy did, he surfed, he surfed alot. -SPK
