Skaters often mention their goals and aspirations in skating. This piece of advice applies to skating and to everything else. Make a move. Get started now, why wait?? You want to spins?? Make a move then. You want to start doing jumps, make a move then. There is no need to wait.
Get a coach that you like and trust. Have someone guide you on your journey so that you don’t get hurt and you don’t waste time making mistakes that can be prevented with coaching.
Welcome skaters. Have you ever been new to your sport and end up doing better than your teacher?? Ok, I probably don’t need to explain much to you. It’s happened to me too. My students have become better than me. I had to simply get over it and accept that they are better. They are faster, stronger, smarter and overall just better than me in every single way
Never Outshine The Master
The 48 Laws of Power, which I believe in firmly, say to never outshine the master. I believe this is also a virtue of Stoicism which I study on a regular basis. Up until now, I’ve had the goal of excelling past the master. I had always thought this would be celebrated. I never took the master’s ego into account. Not only does the master get offended, but senior students get offended too. So, what do you do?? Create an imaginary ceiling for yourself and float beneath the skill of your counterparts??
New Generations
Maybe so, but I think a part of growing up is accepting that there is always a new generation. And there is always someone better than you. Always. So, I offer these solutions. Get better or get over it.
I got the chance to break fast in Nashville and I knew before I got there that I wanted tacos. The weather was a bit warm and rainy but that did not slow me down. I was on a mission.
Honest experience
I gotta be honest about my experience, 2 parts out of three were uncomfortable. I walked in this tiny little store and there was a man standing in the doorway staring at me. He didn’t even say anything, just looking at me. I think he finally asked, ‘can I help you’ or something odd to that degree. I was trying not to be smart ass, I thought it was obvious that I had come there to eat. So, he took my order, with me standing right there in the doorway. Didn’t offer a menu, didn’t offer more space or time to make a decision, although I didn’t need the time, the space would have been nice.
That was part one of three. I knew exactly what I wanted before I even saw the name of the restaurant, steak tacos, chips and red salsa. As you can see by the photos, I had fuckin hot cheese dip. And it was hot, to the touch. I’m placing my order with him, in the doorway, and I ask for chips and red salsa. He responds, ‘chips and queso?’. I’m like, no, chips and red salsa. He’s like, ‘it comes with chips and queso’. I’m like, alright gimme the cheese then. I didn’t want it but he insisted, I don’t argue with people preparing my food.
Part three
So, the chips were stale. That’s not a huge problem, you can always get new chips. But I wanted to mention that since he pressed the hot cheese sauce on me that I clearly didn’t want.
Seconds
Would I go back?? Yes. I surely hope the greeting process improves and that he allows customers to choose the sauce that they want.
It always gets better. Time is such a valuable commodity. Spending time with a thing gives a person a certain amount of expertise that even they may overlook. With continued hard work, the story of life continues to improve. Never quit, never give up.
Are you an athlete?? Are you feeling important lately?? Well, things are about to change. Sport has been something frowned upon for years. It’s always considered a secondary decision next to a college degree. There is a new app coming out that’s gonna change the world’s perception on sports. Then, you’ll be important. So, get ready. Get used to it.
Surely, you’re not getting mad at your haters for hating on you?? Nooo, of course not, employ the hatred. That’s what their supposed to do. That’s their job. If you’re getting hate, then you must be doing something that they like. Keep doing it.
The same goes for people you don’t know, employ the hatred. You really gonna let that asshole in traffic make you mad?? Come on now, some people only get ahead in life by cutting folks off in traffic, pho nem. Let that roll off your shoulder kinfolks.
Welcome skaters, we encourage you to master the routines. Which routines?? Any of the really. If you don’t have your own, you can use ours. The more routines you know, the more JBSKATING you will know. Learn those routines, practice them all the time.
Skate solo, and skate with a crew. Each discipline comes with its own dynamics that can help you to become a stronger skater. If you spend too much time doing only one, you’ll surely be missing some key techniques to your overall skill as a JBSKATER.
He always puts out for the team and never breaks his bearing. I’ve never seen Deejay angry, he has never even made a sour face. Deejay is always willing to skate. This man is always willing to work with the team and is always willing to be a good-spirited team player.
Team Leader
JBSKATERS take on a leadership role just by learning the art form. However, Deejay is one who assumes a leadership position with the gods.
Man, Deejay is so talented, he remembers everything. He comes up with some of the most entertaining and high-level routines. You would think that he has been around for a decade by how quickly he adopts new moves and pairs them in ways that he has not seen before.

Point is the position responsible for leading the team in routines. Deejay has a gift for the role and has been good at it ever since he started with the team.
