Dont get too excited yet, we still dont have ramps or a full timer system yet.
We have been thinking about throwing a few events. I know this season we are for sure doing a slide school and a few freeride Dh things.

Really Wax? I would bet all my money and my left nut on Dubester. I don't know much about Adam, but from riding with dubes, I know that he is definitely the best DH skater I know. Proably one of the top 10 riders in the world.

Women like Cat and Lynn and Laura are all shining examples of what women in skateboarding can accomplish and i dont think people have the right to put them down for that, nor should somebody have the right to put you down for being "big boned".

I will be sending bushings tomorrow or the next day. I have about 40 ready to go. (If you think that's enough) I'll also send a couple modified trucks that I've been working with. I've got some ball pivot indys and som spherical bearing paris trucks cut down. Distribute them to team members who need better trucks. Basically, anyone who is still rolling trackers deserves one of these instead.
Also, If it's not too much trouble, one of my team riders would like to place an order for a SPEEDBOAT. He's definitely the best Downhill skater I know and one of the two fastest people on the planet right now (75.6 mph). Look for his results after next weekends race in California. He sould dominate. We are also planning on an attemp to got 110 mph car assisted. If we do it, he'll be on the cover of concrete wave. Could be on it with a pavel right?

better bring your oxygen mask! The air is getting thinner the higher you get!
In one or two years we will need a 2-day-expedition to get to the peak of the GOG ramp! :-)

keep it to yourself
you should move to Germany and play with your glockenspiele.
pomme frittes are fair with mayo.
Koln or Cologne?
it's a great country to bring your metal detector along for the ride.
four of my best childhood memories are european:
- kinderbier
- 1976 Bitburg Air Force Base Little Leaue team that made it
to the World Series in America.
- N Lauda
- Franz Beckenbauer

joke understood
hope some brits are coming over for sure.
we get a full delegation coming from holland,france looks good,swissiland brings his best,so we need schweeeden and some czechs and and and.
we spoke about the format today and all races will be screaming fast-right from the start.
ts hybrid will be around 50 cones or more,so start training.
for all those who missed the last gs ramp which we called the "ejector"-the next one is higher and even faster and we will make sure that you can't see the runout of the ramp when you pull down-true gog style.
come and beat us on our home turf.
pavel will sponsor extra cash for the guy to beat dominik in the gs.
2 months to go-we are ready whenever you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bara, dont worry, be happy, I was being sarcastic. Donald will understand. of that I am absolutly sure.
As a recent race organiser I know he will likely get criticisms from people, no matter how much work he puts into it, how many sponsors he attracts, how well built his ramps. But he carries on improving, much as I hope too as well.
The great thing about the last German race I went to was that they were able to run it under cover when the worst happened. It was excellent fun.
Also, we had the warmest February day ever this week. Mind you its a bit parky now.
Right. must fly. Litterally.
