This is a video showcasing the latest escapades of the 40 year old single dude .
It starts off with a trip to the seaside (Hastings) where I get to throw my carcass around accompanied by my own version of "I do like to be beside the seaside ."
From there we get thrown into fast paced melee of skating Southbank in London . This is probably attempt 13 of me trying to make a simple drum and bass track .
The accumulates with getting my trick for STEESKATE GAME OF STEEMSKATE , namely the fs pop shuv . Find out more about the bloggin site Steemit by going to Steemit.com
When I realised it was men’s mental health month I decided to make a small video showing how I got through some hard times by going to my local skate park ,getting clips and making little skate videos.
I also talk about my experience in going through counselling therefore admitting to myself that I needed help.
The music is a collaborative piece I wrote when I was going through my dark days called “When the darkness comes” and features violin and production from my fellow Steemit musicians on the Steemit blogging site.
By going out and filming some skate clips, that gave me motivation to make music for the skate clips and produce artefacts for friends ,family and strangers to view on social media.
There is no harm in asking for help and you will feel better by doing so. Google mental health services on the NHS , call the Samaritans or follow the fantastic new instagram account the @benraemersfoundation. You can also of course speak to me.
Have a good day/time/life it will get better

This is it the last installment the final push to huck my carcass around and complete the 40 tricks . Thanks to all who have been entertained by these silly videos and I hope this motivates you to go out and do something. Something that some see as pointless but you see as rewarding.
Music is an electronic ditty I came up with in my bedroom as an ode to LA

This video is celebrating collaborations in skateboarding and music
During the dark days when I was struggling with my mental health I also found the Steemit blockchain blogging site. Through Steemit I managed to find a lot of creative people to collaborate with. At first it was just musical collaborations but now that I have branched out into skateboarding and editing and so this is a skateboarding and music collaboration .
I first met this dude on Steemit under his guise of “soundwaves photon” or on instagram @daniel.covert .During the depressed days I would talk to these homies when things were pretty hectic and I couldn't handle going out and handling the real world.
I have been thinking about the collaborations I have done and the people I have met through social media and it made me come up with a concept of “look sideways” . Too many people are looking upwards at the people above them with more followers which they therefore assume means they have a better life. I have found it more constructive if you look to the side and look at who shares similar interests to you and try to build a community of like minded people. This is way more fun instead of gradually eroding away at your mental health looking at people who appear to have a better life than you.
With technology these days it is easy to connect and collaborate all you need it passion and motivation

Last year I had the opportunity to skate with some legendary Greek geezers. We skated drank some beers and I kept asking them about greek myths. From that day I always wanted to edit some footage featuring them and the greek gods.
