Your revelation is one I feel like I have been on the path to discovering myself. You have the words to welcome it into proper light. Thank you for this!

Shane, that makes me so happy to hear. What activities make you feel that flow?

Gravity embraces. Began with skateboarding and wakeboarding. I then took to structured sports and weightlifting. And have since found my way back to gravity. Downhill longboarding was a defining chapter. Now I’m exploring climbing and trail running. The flow is constant. I’m just trying to find different ways to jump in. I know nothing of the ocean though, and love reading about your journey.

Oh my God! Please tell me you have some sort of badass downhill longboarding video that I can watch...

Where are you based? I love climbing, but I've never really taken to running, trail or otherwise.

Keep in mind this was pre GoPro. I’m in purple! https://youtu.be/FU9TG4Znd_A

Right now I’m in Phoenix. Thinking of trying to get back to Colorado where I recently was for three years. Grew up in SE Kansas and longboarded NW Arkansas hills like this one! I’m still learning to like running. The trail aspect makes it much more appealing. Miss those above tree line vibes.

I grew up in CO, man. It's a magic place.
