Former shrink-neurologist turned full-time boardwalk skatebum.
He has a cool, medical - spiritual explanation as to why humans crave constant acceleration - maybe one of you down there could introduce him to power kiting!

Yeah my ultimate goal in life is to live like that. I feel I'm half way there but I still have to work :(

Nice video, lad, thanks for posting. I guess that's why powerslides are so much fun to do!(acceleration) I don't think he'd even consider using a kite, though. His simplistic philosophy just doesn't require it.

Hitting a bit of a bit of a mid life crisis myself and totally relate.
My problem is that if I go Slomo I actually would be living on just above homeless budget. :(

Yes, I thought about you when watching this Phree' . Sounds like the big difference is that you found a fantastic wife who puts up with you ! :cool:

Ray Bethell is a Vancouver local with a similar approach to life but he found Multi Kite to be his Zen. http://www.metacafe.com/topics/ray_bethell/
