This blog has a big fat disclaimer to start off with…there’s 8000 years of ancient Indian history about yoga. I don’t know anything about that stuff, and I’ve hit my head too many times. Holiday blues got you down? I’ve had them since the Fourth of...

Somebody at the brain injury awareness group asked “What kind of helmet do you wear snowboarding?” The only time I wear a lid snowboarding is when it was required for racing boardercross. My unprotected head sank into my hands. Here it comes…” I...

Whoever you are, whether you have suffered great loss, head injuries or age-related cognitive decline, it’s never too late to create new neural connections. Science dude! I’ve my made struggle with reading clear and what it has taken me to turn the page. Riding my...

My research into brain health and head injury recovery hasn’t been easy or heaps of fun. Reading has been gratifying and illuminating. The gratification comes from so many directions. Expanding my knowledge of diet, exercise, emotional...

Do not travel. Stay home and be thankful for what you have. That’s an order. Being told what to do and following orders isn’t for me. Following orders or rules has been a long-standing problem after years of defying authority. I’ve been...

To blow off steam or control stress, I always try moving forward. Not the self-help tomorrow is going to be better than today, but head into the wind while moving fast. Play is where its at! Big Wheels, bicycles, dirt bikes, skateboards, any toy or vehicle that...

I’ve been very lucky to travel globally using competitive skateboarding as an excuse. I didn’t have savings or come from means. I had burner jobs I could easily quit. Working in restaurants, I could work extra hours and have an expendable job. My friends and...

The Safety Third Compound is in the HIGH country of Colorado. Any direction on the bike spoils me. Ripping through the mountains fast and loud is as much a part of Wind Therapy as meditating at the top of the Continental Divide. Turn left and an hour over those...

When I run in the morning, I have my course. There is a small creek near the Safety Third Compound that is my stopping point for 50 jumping jacks. The bridge now covered with frost, demands more focus. I could break a hip at my age. I’ve only missed...

There’s fewer hummingbirds in the morning now that it’s getting colder. The bears have moved on to prepare for winter, littering the forest with broken berry bushes and cherry trees. The aspen leaves that shrouded the trails around the Safety Third Compound now...

Fifty miles per hour at fifty years of age on a skateboard. It’s my latest trick. I’ve thought about this a couple times over the years and more as the date gets closer. Most of my life going 50 mph on a skateboard wasn’t a big deal. My birthday did fall...

Cool thing about living in the high country, some of the biggest snowboarding events in the business are only a snowballz throw away. The Safety Third Compound is close enough to Aspen to sneak into the X Games occasionally. I have been interested in...

It’s getting colder out, I could see my breath this morning. For the last 35 years that exhale was smoke. I would get winded running for a bus, now I run every morning at daybreak. Yes, I’m proud of myself and not afraid to let you know. I’m that irritating jogger...

I’m looking forward to passing on the need for helmets and a healthy lifestyle to my brothers and sisters attending the 80th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. I plan on eating well or at least safely. I don’t think trucks of kale will be receiving police escorts...
