Adventure in Redding land

Started to go crazy nursing a twisted and probably fractured ankle I decided to head off into the mystical land of redding. Redding is sort of a fucked up little meth village with a spiraling unemployment problem. Anyways, it boasts a brand new 18 hole course called edgewater, which is exactly where you'd think it would be....on the edge of water. This is the project of Dan Adams, a local plummer and avid disc golfer. The whole area was kind of a refuse for the homeless, but the kind of homeless that rapes kids and slam meth or any other kind of drug up their arms like its going out of fashion. Needless to say, the course was sorely needed. I was only able to play for a little bit until my ankle swelled back up to the size of a tennis ball. So far, there are dirt tees with real baskets. It plays well with a good variety of distance and use of shots. There is lots of shade the course weaves in and out of a trail by the Sacramento river.(Course is located behind Raleys by the cypress bridge) After playing I decided to hitch hike back up to Shingletown and got a ride from just about the nicest little family I've met on my journeys so far. Took me all the way to my door and they were rewarded with fresh eggs, figs, apples, and some green. You tend to find the real in people anytime your on the road. Its a beautiful thing and makes one wonder if humanity is really hopeless or just in hiding...

10 things I learned from hitchhiking and playing edgewater
1. Edgewater was not made for kids
2. This is a disc golf course, not a motha fuckin' playground- Samuel Jackson
(He was there)
3. Playing on a fracture is like putting your dick and balls through a meatgrinder
(Without all the delicious meat)
4. When girls give you a weird look for hitchhiking its not because they are creeped
out by... you're gimp leg, pube beard, and foul odor. Its because they secretly want to have wrong sex with a hitchhiker.
5. People like to say "Hey Limpy" while your limping
6. I wish I could rewind time and murder the person that said that
7. Driving recklessly onto an onramp shrivel your penis
8. I shrivel your penis
9. I forgot how much fun drinking beer, laughing at people, and getting picked
up by the nicest people in the world is.
10.Life is good, and edgewater was great!

Second, I am looking for a video editor....doesn't have to be fantastic. Just someone that can put together my compilations of daily videos into a watchable clip. I'm thinking I'll have at least a few minutes or more of interviews a day. Maybe you want to practice your editing skills? Try them on me;)

My ankle is getting better and I'm chomping at the bit to hit the road and the courses!! Much love to everyone out there. Your support is just a further testament to the greatness of our unique sport and culture. Yours truly,
Disc Golf Hobo

So it begins!

Hey,
Some of you may know me as the douchebag in Thousand Year War, or a fellow disc golfer, or you may not even give two monkey farts who the hell I am and stumbled on this page accidently...so here goes:

 I'm Hiram, and I have a passion for disc golf, music, and hitchhiking. I've been hitching since around 16 years old and been addicted ever since. I've never really felt that comfortable in society without being on the road or pursuing adventure. At around 14 years old my father asked my what I wanted to do in life and I answered, "be a homeless skater in San Francisco." Needless to say I narrowly missed a firm ass beating, that dream never died with me. My most amazing memories come from being dirt poor on the road, sharing invaluable moments with strangers. So here goes nothing! Hairy balls to the wind, with nothing but a pack, some discs, and the will to command and conquer. My life has been sort of a roller coaster, mostly due to my often eccentric, and overbearing personality. I've been scorned, loved, envied, and reviled. It doesn't matter, I deserve every bit.  My love for the sport of disc golf started a few years ago, and that fire is still burning strong. It is like the punk rock version of golf, and hosts a vibrant community that I intend to unearth in my journeys.

After watching David Choe's Hitchhiking across America on Vice, my fire for the road rekindled.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO3-AAVTeDA. While hitchhiking through China, David said, "maybe I'll start a thumbs up revolution, but probably not." This struck a chord deep within me and aroused my own adventurous spirit, as all my hitchhiking journeys have just started by getting up and fucking doing it! Well David, my kindred traveling spirit, you have at least inspired one man to put the thumbs up and get out there on the road!

I will be embarking out on my journey the first week of august and will be looking for a few things. Normally I wouldn't ask for help, but I've lived by the code of the road my whole life and have always given when I've been in the position to. I'm no angel, just some scum bag trying to live life in the fullest. Here is my list of road needs for this adventure:

A Road Dog- Easy going positive person that can handle some insanity of the road, and yearn for an epic adventure and disc golf. You in???

A Smartphone-just a smartphone that someone no longer uses. I want to make video interviews with golfers, travelers, and people I hitch with and publishing them everyday or every other day. Have some phone gathering dust in the corner?

Discs/disc golf gear-Most of my gear is gone and any contribution you make will help me tremendously!!
Some bag or disc you no longer throw? Help them find a new home.

Guess what?? That is all fuckers! Yep, this is a genuine journey of a poor ass son of a bitch setting fire to the world and maybe showing everyone that people are still ultimately good and the world isn't such an evil place after all.

Cheers and I will see you all out there!!
