The Death of Freestyle Walking dot org

My brothers do a lot of goofy things. One of those was to start a website called freestylewalking.org. Freestyle walking is kind of like parkour or free running, but without any sense of competition or seriousness.

The main objective, at least as it seemed to me, was to have your picture taken as you posed in mid-air (while "pulling a move"), hopefully in front of a cool background. The most prevalent move was the "Craigy Special," which was pulled in countless locations.

At first, it was something they just shared with their friends. But after College Humor posted a link, it became a huge worldwide sensation for a while. The hit counter exploded, t-shirts were produced and my brothers added a lot of funny content. They had a cooking page ("freestyle wokking"), interviews with walkers of the week and great music videos. Plus, fans were submitting photos from around the country and around the globe.

But now both Kevin and Craig are way too busy and grown up to do this anymore. They're both engaged and have to pick out flowers for their weddings, so FSW isn't high on the priority list. The site will die within the next month.

So, enjoy it while you can at http://www.freestylewalking.org. As a parting gift, Craig added a photo I submitted about two years ago, back when my FOX 44 billboards were first put up in Baton Rouge:

Searching for a new opportunity

I've been getting a bunch of calls and e-mails from great friends and former co-workers about the latest happenings at the station. I can't say much of anything, but you can read the company line in an article from Tuesday's Daily Report:

Thank you for your concern and your prayers. I'd love to be back on the air soon, but I'm open to all opportunities in all places. I'll be sure to update when there's a new development. Plus, be sure to follow my Twitter account (http://www.twitter.com/mycoskie).
