The Lately Wasn’t Likely

Years ago, I dreamt up a daily news concept that was about predicting the most ‘likely’ future events. Imagine a story like: Broncos Set To Match Lion’s Season Loss Record. It was called: The Likely. But that dream hasn’t happened.

Actually, most of the stories I would have written about myself 6 months ago for The Likely didn’t happen either. Instead, a few of my other dreams took hold: I spent 2 months in France, opened a climbing gym, and continue to do great things at my day job.

I have learned that if the ride isn’t entertaining, then dream up one that is. And then try harder and and push yourself higher to make the goal achievement part all the more thrilling.

I need to start dreaming about some of those Colorado classics on my ticklist.

Note: Here’s a recent interview I did with Front Range Bouldering about the DBC.

Another Note: Now that I kick my non-jumping leg forward, I am ever closer to dunking! Any other technique hints out there?

  1. hint: be more rad!

    or, better yet: rap off the top of the backboard… clean and inspect the rim… make light tickmarks if necessary. perhaps even self-belay while you try the cruxy final dunk move so you know what to do when you finally get up there.

  2. Stop Dreaming Start Action
