Physical Therapy

I am 2 weeks into my physical therapy after my knee surgery. Bending my knee and getting it back into shape is the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my whole life. It is a lesson in patience and will. Plus, the doctors say it will be better in a month the way I am going now. 30 days is a long time and a lot can happen. Everyday I can bend it a little more, the better I feel.

This foto was taken a few days ago, only after I had my stitches taken out (oh did that hurt!) and the swelling had shrink by over 1/2. It was the size of a small melon before.



This is how it feels everyday trying to bend it. i am straining just like this to bend it to a 90 degree angle. I bet my neighbors love me right now...


At least I have a goal in site... back on my board by the end of April. I need to kick into gear but it has only been 3 weeks since my surgery. I can walk a bit now so life is a lot better.

So many video projeckt are jumping off now... PITCREW, Radio Skateboards, Search and Destroy... just to name a few....

Projekt 5.1 premiere is Friday in Hamburg.... See everyone there and don't forget to wear your 'Jan Kliewer has a fan club' t-shirts there. Time to send more mails and make some more movie magic happen.

bis Freitag!

Another Video Projekt already???

It seems like once you finish one project, another one jumps into your lap right away. After wrapping up Jan Kliewer's part for Projekt 5.1, I have jumped back into the hotseat to start working on the new PITCREW video. With a full fall schedule already, I am going to have 6 weeks to wrap the whole project from start to finish. Seems like a long time but it really is not in the span of things. The time flies by so fast it feels and I am also producing stuff for 'The Daily Habit' on FUEL TV in between. I am looking forward to vacation time in December for sure!

So over time, the shop team has changed. People who were skating a ton a few years ago are now working and just skating for fun. In other hand, the younger guys have stepped it up and now are the new faces of the shop. And you cant forget there is always the younger ripper who has come into his own and now is ready to step into the spotlight for the first time. That is the brilliant part of shop videos. No two will ever be the same.

The premiere for the new PITCREW video will be in November. There will be a new trailer sometime next month. So in the meantime, check out the old trailer, Zach Lyons part from the last video, and one of the new faces on the team Benji Ross.

Enjoy the weekend...
