Whats with you and @spacemob?..is a question I’m asked weekly, so fuck it here’s a blurb about me and my relationship with the Valdostians 🖖🏿 have a read if u know how 👽

I've had genetic anxiety and manic depression issues my whole life (believe it or not I’m a bit of a fruit cake) and the only thing that’s ever made it better was playing sport or getting off my face. I played sport my whole childhood, that tapered out as I grew older and that’s when life took a bit of a turn, I hung around shit people doing bad things and I began numbing myself with whatever I could find, starting to take over most of my life. I left all of that behind and sort out a better life, got a real job at a hospital and met some really nice young lads who suggested we head down to Gold Coast wake park one day for a rip, this was my first introduction to wakeboarding (December 2018)

I'd never held a wakeboard before, and I definitely didn’t know that there where ‘wake parks’ with rails and jumps 😍 I instantly became hooked, because I’d always wanted to be a decent street skater, but I literally can’t Ollie. That didn’t matter on a wakeboard, my feet were strapped in! I could finally f*#en Ollie on a board! Let’s Fucken do shit 😂
The first thing I wanted to do was hit rails, it’s at this time I took to YouTube and discovered the SPACE MOB.

...Pre cable sessions I would binge watch Blake Bishop and WMJ clips (I still do) for literally hours with no idea what I was looking at, or how technical the moves where, I just knew ‘fuck I wanna ride like that one day’. As I dug deeper into the culture of Jib style, rail riding and the skinny stance dance, I became beyond obsessed with the effortless style of Crosse Bearden and Quinn Silvernale, 2 blokes so smooth they look asleep and then they do a trick u can’t even fathom. The best part about watching the Mob shred was not just the effortless style, but the CARE FREE FUN attitude that came with it. (I left out people like dary B and Dill Mill, those blokes just get me horny)

As my obsession with the sport grew, I knew one way or another I need to atleast speak to these fellahs. I reached out to Wes not expecting much of a reply, and it turns out we got along like 2 big dicks in a pond, ahh I mean ducks...ducks in a pond...

Since then everything has been different, my goals, attitude/headspace and outlook on life has changed. Not only have these blokes befriended me they have invited me into there homes, there wakeparks and there live’s...they have given me advice on life, mental health and sex positions, we pretty much talk about anything and everything except wakeboarding 😂 They have helped give me a new lease on life as an adult that I wasn’t sure I was ever going to find, and for that I’m forever greatful. Thank You Space Mob
