RvR’s actual unemployment check

Spring is here and that means a large portion of the live-to-shred community is out of work until November. Oh sure, maybe you’re going to the beach or, maybe you’ve got a gig lined up at one of the camps. But a lot of people are going to be hanging out and claiming unemployment. Except they will call it FUN-employment. Like no one has heard that hackwork before.

As Yobeat’s resident unemployment expert, I’ve compiled a list of a few options for passing the time while you wait for that next check to roll in.

• Grab all those clips you cut from videos earlier in the season and make a new edit for Yobeat. Call it “The Cutting Room Floor.”
• Try not to get mad when people at the skateparks say, “Pretty good. For a snowboarder.”
• Remember: Government checks can get you to Government Camp.
• Start a snowboard blog and get ready to roll around in piles of money.
• In July, take all the clips you wouldn’t put in “The Cutting Room Floor” and make another video. Call it “Tales From The Cutting Room Floor.” Send it off to Yobeat.
• Make fun of wakeboarders.
• Tap into that Bar Mitzvah money. You’re not really going to go to college in the Fall.
• It’s not just Independence Day, it’s a whole season. Drinking, fireworks, and boats go great together from April to November.
• Smoke cigarettes.
• In September gather up all the garbage footage you wouldn’t have put in “Tales From The Cutting Room Floor” and make “…From Out of the Dumpster.” Send it to Yobeat (now the trick to this part is follow-through. Early next season you’re going to need to put together end-to-end burner, so that everyone talks about how much you and your crew have improved).
• Reconsider the economics of a 40-oz.
• Baseball.
• Go to Washington D.C. to see if you can hang out with Obama.
• Complain about having to shave your chest again before going to the beach.
• Rejoin your people telling fortunes at rural county fairs all across America!
