Here's the link: Classic BMX spots: Sheep Hills
I've tried a whole bunch of blog ideas in the last 15 years. Starting with a terrible taxi driver blog in 2007, I found my voice in 2008-2010 with FREESTYLIN' Mag Tales, and then FREESTYLE BMX Tales (original version), both of which I deleted because I was a depressed idiot in 2012. Even when I had one popular blog, sometimes I'd take time off and try other ideas for a while. Altogether, I've tried at least 50 blog ideas, and half of those, or more, are still on the web somewhere.
Crazy California 43 was an idea that I thought had a chance of being a money earning blog. I wrote a bunch of posts, it looked pretty cool, but it wasn't getting near enough views from tourists to make my idea work. Because of my financial situation, I couldn't get out and travel, and shoot photos or videos of the spots I wanted to cover. So I just stopped working on it. Another idea tried.
It's also one of the blogs I lost control of, when three of my Google accounts got mysteriously shutdown one night, for no apparent reason. If I could get into the account, I could cut and paste the whole post to this blog. But I can't. I've been wanting to link it here for a while, so here it is. My best take at the history of Sheep Hills in Costa Mesa.
As of the late summer of 2023, I'm doing a lot of my writing on Substack, a platform designed specifically for writers. Check it out!
