I'm back!

Good morning, world!

I've been on a hiatus for a bit now, taking time to think and relax. I hope you have all been having a good winter so far. I've learned a few things, like as much as you love something sometimes breaks are a good thing. No I'm not talking about relationship breaks.I'm talking about the kind of break you take from your passions. I took some days off skateboarding and the days and time I came back I felt refreshed, as well as ready to learn new tricks. I don't think I've ever improved so quickly our landed such technical tricks in my whole career ads skateboarder. Sometimes rest and refreshing is the best way to approach the feeling of being blocked from moving ahead in something. If your feeling stuck and like you can't find the steps to move forward, maybe take a step back and breath for a few days or a week. But don't forget to keep that fire close and go back to it when you hit that urge or have found refreshment in your resting period.

Yours Truly,

Building towards your dream!

Good morning world!
So last night we officially started our mini pipe building! To be honest I feel like a little boy at Christmas! This is gonna be the sweetest winter ever having a mini pipe to ride in my garage! Not only that we are throwing a knarly fucking Halloween party with a mini pipe competition, how the fuck can you go wrong with that!? You can't.

Anyways, today I want to talk about dreams. I know sometimes life looks like there is no ups coming your way. And sometimes we just lose focus or all motivation. But today I'm telling you to fuck all the shit you got going in life and pause for a second. Take time think about what makes you happy. Think about your dreams and aspirations. Ok you got those in that thick skull? Good. Let's start with this... Take that write it down. Make a little web with it. Yes you all should remember the basics of story writing from school. Now look at the big picture and find the process to making it happen. Here's the thing you need steps and those steps need realistic dates to be done by. If you don't put a time frame with it, well then it will always be a dream. Reality can only be created for almost certain by placing things into effect. Set your goals on your calendar, ones that will place you in position to be a step closer. As you do this you will notice life becomes alot closer to making your dreams a reality. If you don't know what steps to take maybe research how other people developed these dreams to come true.

I spent too many years and days wondering why my life was not following in the steps I wanted it too. Then I decided I was gonna make goals. But yet I still had no time frame which meant there was no clock or structure to be followed but what small idea was in my head. I've been spending time setting goals and dates. Ever since my life has progressively gotten steps, yes multiple steps closer to living my dream as a reality.

Now don't get me wrong not all dreams are possible in this lifetime or in a short term setting but we all know you can make your life what you want it to be. If you say no, then you just defeated yourself and it's no ones fault but your own.

I hope you all try and take steps towards your goals/dreams the way I did. Living life is more then just being in an average situation. It's about enjoying as many moments as you can and making sure that your life was as you wanted it to be, not as some asshole told you it should.

Yours Truly,
Corey Smith

Good morning Monday!

Good morning everyone!
I had a pretty darn good weekend! If you were in Edmonton I hope you checked out comic con! I went on Sunday it was a pretty epic nerd boner of a time! Wow gotta say I'm glad I didn't empty my wallet there. So much cool stuff to buy and see. Gotta give everyone who dressed up props!! Girls you looked sexy and guys definitely some legit costumes!

Any who, I spent Saturday in hay lakes shredding the unheated indoor skate park with the RIOT crew. Gotta say we have come along way guys! From the first day we all slowly gathered together as a new developing skate team, to now where it's like the coolest family a dude can ask for. My old roomate came with us and he hasn't seen riot since it was first re developing the crew b4 my injury and wow did we ever shock that guy when we dropped our bags n just all started shredding insane lines in a park most of us had never skated. Also gotta give props to Seb for this Seb Saturday video! First one and definitely a good one bro! If you wanna check out the link just comment below and I will not hesitate to post!

So basically I woke up this Monday feeling inspired and full of energy! Which is not a usual for me during the fall. I normally hate this time of the year, yeah I know your all thinking what a grinch. But fuck you it's not Christmas yet assholes lol. Anyways, hope to fucking God this ctv shoot is released soon I'm nervous as fuck to see how it looks. Keep posted for upcoming videos and new stories or inspiring thoughts! Thanks for listening!
