It's Friday... B.Y.O.B.

Try new things.  Don't be afraid to try a new bike set-up now and then to mix things up.  I rode brakeless for nearly a year in 1989, when nearly every trick was a brake trick.  I learned half-Cabs and lookback half Cabs during that period, among other things.  If your friends are riding somewhere, Bring Your Own Bike. 

In addition to the alcohol reference, "B.Y.O.B." is the opening song of this 1989 Vision skate video I worked on, Barge at Will.*  The song is by Ohio punk band The Stain.  I always liked that song it just has that street riding kind of energy and attitude.  Yeah, this is a bike blog, but a lot of riders skate some as well.  If that's the case, Bring Your Own Board.  Its Friday, there are sessions to be had.  Who knows, this could be the The Ultimate Weekend.
