How Tuesday #1 HOW TO: BE A LEGEND

First you need to grow some hair. Here you have options. You can go the Jordan Murdock, Christian Hosoi, Ron Wilkerson limelight route and grow some really long locks that will make the ladies go crazy, or if you plan on being the reclusive legend then a gnarly beard should be your goal. Many legends start in the first category of relative stardom, before retreating to the shadows, where the real legend making is done. So don't worry if you want to grow the whole shebang; long hair and beard.
Second, your going to have to shred. A top secret training facility might be in order, as you won't want people to see you learning anything or farting around at the park. When you ride in front of people it should be a non-stop spectacle. Or you shouldn't ride at all (think Miles or Taj at the MTV Sports and Music Festival). Most importantly, be unpredictable. Whether it is drug use (or perceived drug use) or being devoutly religious you don't want people to have a bead on you.
Lastly Make a comeback. This will first necessitate a dissappearance. You can simply retreat to the woods or travel the world, going to jail is always an option, or quitting to pursue something like kayaking, gardening or art is always a great one as well. Blogs and websites will start wondering when you will return. This should only push you further into the shadows. Just when rumors of your death or total refusal to participate in the sport have surfaced it is time to start making appearances. But don't call it a comeback! Riding at top speed through town and showing up to the trails or park at odd hours for short periods of time are highly reccommended as they add to your mystique.
ENJOY YOUR NEW STATUS AS A LEGEND! Check back next Tuesday for another How Tuesday.
