Balls... We ALL got 'em

Photo Kaleb Trozzo - Couldn t have picked an uglier drop and even worse location as far aesthetics go. Grey October skies brown grass and plywood for a landing. Incredibly hard to shoot. The move itself was tech though. It hipped out a ways and we were pedaling in hard to a blind fade-away. The landing was about 7 ft wide.

We need them and what we choose to do with them is completely up to us, but they are a definitive driving force in our lives and in the creation of lives. Life would not be much fun without them, actually, it would not exist without them. Everything has to come from our balls. The first time you decide to take a chance, it comes form your balls. When you’re pinning it down a trail on the way to the finish line or cooking into a stepdown staring at what can look like the end of the world these things are what’s driving you. Sure, your head is helping you think about what to do and your heart is keeping the blood moving around, but what got you in that position in the first place? And what is going to make sure you commit right to the end??? That’s right.

Now I know that some of you may read this and think it to be a primal statement of a typical male who’s mind is between his legs but Elanor Roosevelt said “Do something that scares you every day” What do you think SHE was talking about? use your head and take a chance? I think not. It’s not guts or heart or your head that drives you to accept a challenge, it’s your balls. You don’t ask someone you are interested in on a date because your mind tells you it would be a logical thing to do, no! you grow a pair and step up. I would argue that it is the lower testosterone channeled sense of enlightenment rather than a higher cranial calculation. Now… you can combine all your other “organs” to give your balls some additional perspective and thought, but first you must know where it all comes from. and that my friends is your balls. Use them, let them move you, and direct your life. Big things come in big packages after all.
Companies that rock
