Yeah I’ve heard the same mixed reviews hey. Some mates reckon it helps them zone out and sit through the long sessions easier, but others say it makes the pain feel sharper ‘cause you’re tuned in too much.

Mate, couldn’t agree more that first sprout never loses its magic. It’s like a little reminder why we do it in the first place.

For me, it’s a mix I love seeing them thrive naturally, but I won’t lie, chasing a chunky yield feels rewarding too. Guess it depends on the grow, sometimes I’m just happy watching ‘em do their thing.

Skateboarding isn’t just about tricks it’s about control. The key is foot placement and balance. Keep your front foot near the bolts, your back foot on the tail, and bend your knees to absorb shocks. Whether you’re cruising or learning your first ollie, remember: smooth weight shifts are your best friend.

What’s the first trick you think every skater should learn?

that’s gold! Pebbles are the silent assassins of the skate world. At least the bush was there to break your fall could’ve been worse, could’ve been bitumen!

“Bush surfing” definitely sounds like a new X-Games event though. You might’ve just invented something… would you give it another crack if there were style points?

Yeah mate, it really depends on the person. For some, a smoke before ink takes the edge off, but for others it just makes the pain or overthinking worse.

Best call? Stay sober through the session, then celebrate after — way less chance of second-guessing mid-needle.
