Brief overview

Theo Von mixes springtime riffs, Supercross and a plea for a new story after honest hotline calls.

  1. Pray for the part that will relapseTheo asks God to come into the part of him that knows, even mid-prayer, it will do the behavior again.
  2. Showing up for yourself builds someone newEarly mornings, yoga, a home workout, basketball and an AA meeting — keeping his word to himself is what has been working.
  3. Supercross moved 26 million pounds of dirtThe dirt for the triangles is stored around town between events, which set off his riff about renting out two corners of his house.
