Stunted Growth

So after bidding adieu to the Country Clubbin’ Blogspot as if it was some major life change, I come back 4 months later with a video using Comic Sans font, a blatant song jack and a description that most likely nobody understands. Not much changed, to say the least. For the record, it always sounded like he kissed the “butthole” instead of “bottle.” That’s what the original description was referring to. The title has always stuck with me though. For a high school project, I remember reading “studies” about how actions sports could stunt your growth. These were largely disproven, but if I remember correctly, they suggested that the high impact nature would fry your growth hormones, thus stunting your growth. When I made this though, I was constantly thinking of how calculated stunts on the bike impacted my personal growth. From the way I interacted with people and my environment, risk assessment, and even the music I listened to; so much was shaped by BMX. Riding is something you feel off the bike just as much as you do on; a memory from seeing your friend ride away in triumph, the soreness you feel from a bad fall, the hope when you see a potential new spot. It’s a really unique outlook, and I’m glad that there are others out there who share a similar view on the world. It may not click for everyone, but I’m always happy to share the lessons I’ve learned from riding BMX. My hope is that it’s visible in the videos I’ve made and continue to make. 6/26/2014 He kissed the what?
