Future Primitive - Skate Trips and Training Camps Drawing from the rich tapestry of skateboarding culture, let's explore a concept deeply ingrained in its ethos: the "Skate Trip." Similar to structured training camps, these journeys have long been the backbone of skateboarding's development, fostering skill enhancement and camaraderie in equal measure for over six decades. Unlike conventional training regimes, skate trips thrive on an organic blend of exploration and creativity, unfettered by rigid structures. This fluidity is not just a hallmark of skateboarding; it's a testament to the power of embracing diversity and difference in all sports. As we navigate the evolving landscape of Olympic skateboarding, it's vital to honour the traditions that have shaped skateboarding, while embracing the innovations and changes that lie ahead. This delicate balance, encapsulated in a "Future Primitive" mindset, ensures that we progress with purpose and integrity while staying mindful of our roots. In the broader context of high-performance sports in the UK, we're reminded of the importance of supporting one another to challenge the status quo. Just as skateboarding thrives on creativity, so too do other sports that benefit from diverse perspectives and approaches. By liberating ourselves from the confines of accepted norms and embracing critical thinking, we pave the way for inclusivity and growth across the high-performance sports community. Recently, I had the privilege of embarking on a trip to California with the Skateboard GB team. What began as a quest for radical terrain and warmer weather became a journey of skill acquisition and focused training, blurring the lines between leisure and structured development. Was it a skate trip, or did it embody the essence of a training camp? That's for you to decide. Join me in reflecting on the why before rushing into change, for in that pause lies the opportunity to preserve what is effective and excellent. As we share the joys of skateboarding through the lens of our recent adventure, let's ignite conversations that transcend sports and inspire a collective reimagining of what it can truly be.

Every day, every reality is a new reality. As the days get shorter and the nights get longer, there is no better time to experience the spectacle of the changing seasons than after dark. Heading out on a 24-hour expedition from San Francisco to Mt. Vision in Marin County, we teamed up with our friends at Away Message, a local San Francisco team, to host an 80-mile ride through the night. As a team, Away Message’s ethos matters both on and off the bike, encapsulated in their own words: “We’re a team of riders united by a common desire to explore unfamiliar territory, showcase the allure of our sport, and re-imagine what a cycling team can be through a fresh and contemporary perspective.” “Our goal is simple - to encourage more people to get out on two wheels. By sharing our journey, we aim to inspire others to disconnect and pursue the unfamiliar no matter their fitness level, age, race, or creed.” Documented in a Double Vision: An Extra-Sensory Ride Experience by Away Message film.

#ZACHMultimediaPushingHumanLimits #ZACHMultimediaSportingTitans "The 23-year-old Kenyan, #KelvinKiptum’s 2:00:35 lowered the mark set by #EliudKipchoge, as the sport intensifies its hunt to break two hours in an official race "Kenya’s Kelvin Kiptum shattered the men’s marathon world record on Sunday, winning the Chicago Marathon in two hours and 35 seconds, lowering Eliud Kipchoge’s previous mark of 2:01:09 by 34 seconds. "Kiptum, who is 23 years old, established the new standard in just his third marathon, with a remarkable show of speed. He did it with an average pace of 4:36 per mile, and ran nearly a minute faster in the second half of the race than the first 13.1 miles. "In doing so, he became the first person to finish a marathon in under 121 minutes in a sanctioned road race. His performance will now intensify the sport’s chase to break the two hour mark. "Only one man, Kiptum’s idol Kipchoge, can claim to have done that. But that result, a 1:59:40, came at a staged event in Vienna on a circuit course with a pack of pacers, not in a sanctioned race. "Because of the marathon’s grueling nature, most runners work up to the distance slowly and begin their careers racing shorter events on the track and on the road. That’s not what Kiptum did. When he was 18 years old in 2018, he entered his first race as a professional. It was a half marathon in Eldoret, Kenya and he walked away with a win. "Over the next three years he got faster and faster, shaving four minutes off of his already blazing half marathon time. Then, two days after turning 23, Kiptum made history by running the fastest debut marathon ever, on the streets of Valencia, Spain. "It wasn’t just his finishing time of 2:01:53 that flashed his immense potential; it was how he attacked the second half of the race. He covered the last 13.1 miles in one hour and 15 seconds, then the fastest back half ever run in a marathon. "In running parlance, this is called “negative splitting,” and for many athletes it is the sign of a race well run. It’s also exceptionally difficult to accelerate with more fatigued legs. Yet Kiptum has proved himself to be the best in history by doing just that. "In his second marathon, a 2:01:25 victory in London in April 2023, Kitpum became the only human to run the second half of a marathon in under an hour (59:45). Coming into Chicago, Kiptum told reporters that he felt more fit now than he did in the spring. But in an effort to lower expectations, he said that his primary goal was to break the course record of 2:03:45 set in 2013. "In the women’s race, a pair of elite runners, defending Chicago marathon champion Ruth Chepngetich and Sifan Hassan, spent much of the race tracking under the world record, newly set by Ethiopia’s Tigist Assefa at the Berlin Marathon on September 24. Hassan pulled away in the second half, but fell off Assefa’s pace around mile 18. "She crossed the finish line first in 2:13:44, the second fastest time ever run..."... ...
