I was excited to see Skateboard at the Design Museum before the exhibition closes this weekend. To many, skateboarding can a noisy irritation. To skaters, the pursuit of landing a new trick is a thrilling compulsion. I’ve taken a lot from this sport over the years. It helped me foster a mindset of continuous improvement long before I came across the term in the business world. And creativity is an innate part skateboarding. When you start skating you begin to look out for new spots to skate. The world around becomes an opportunity to subvert the urban landscape into an impromptu skate park. The better you get, the more opportunities you see. Unsurprisingly, professionals take this to the extreme. They see things no one else can. Whether it’s Jeremy Wray jumping a huge gap between two buildings, or Aaron Homoki jumping the Lyon 25 (25 steps!). If you’re at a loose end in London this weekend, check it out before it closes. #Skateboard #continuousimprovement #Creativity
There’s always parallel pursuits that facilitate our journey — continuous improvement, as you know Christian is a particular mindset that I embrace — and much like skateboarding [which I remember back in the 90s you teaching me how to do an Ollie 😬] I’m sure it’s taught you much about creativity, taking risks and seeing unseen paths 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
