All:
The Grind for Life Benefit for Mike Rogers (http://www.mr1skateshop.net/M.R.%20Fund%20-%20Grind%20for%20Life.htm) will be held in West Palm Beach, Florida at the YMCA Oelsner Skatepark (http://www.skateboardparks.com/florida/ymca/index.html) on November 22, 2003. Mike Vallely from Element will be the highlight of the event. Bowl riders from all over the country are coming, as well as our freestyle crew. I was told that we can expect around 1000 people to come watch the demo. The demo will be held from 3PM-7PM.
Thanks to Casper Industries and Reverse Freestyle/Cooper Productions for their product donations for raffle. Their generosity will certainly help Mike get back on his feet. Please contact me if you are interested in contributing. Every little bit helps. If you are a sponsored skater, please let your sponsors know what this event is all about.
The following freestylers have expressed interest in attending/participating thus far.
- Cooper, Lynn [Reverse Freestyle]
- Foster, Mike [Casper Industries]
- Jaje, John [Casper Industries]
- Leathers, John [Casper Industries]
- Lee, Frank [Casper Industries]
- Synnott, Terry [Capital Skateboards]
- Sullivan, William [Casper Industries]
Please contact me if you are interested in joining us.
Thanks,

You said it, man. Joe is a good choice too. If you get a gig together, may I come dressed as Dilbert? Pocket protector, glasses, and a plastic banana board? Ha ha.
Later,
Frank

Primo would be a good choice but JOe Humeres is a better one! "Because its like that and thats the way it is huh!" Frank your right you are a computer freak (not geek) I can see you get you freak on at one of these jams. You would be surprised who is actually breakdancing and its not just baggy pant slang talking sideways hat kids, its everybody. www.rocrite.net check it out

You said it, Dagoo. With 7 computers in my office, dozens of technical books, and spectacles, I'm certainly too geeky to be the one tapping into any breakers' underworld of cooldom. There's only one man that I can think of who's skilled and an suave enough to do that, DJ and powerhouse skater, Primo Desiderio! : )
All, please contact me if you are interested in demoing or contributing to Mike Roger's Grind for Life event.

I am pysched about the Wezberg event, sorry JJ and I couldn't make it out it looked like a fun and great overall event! This is what we have been up to actually the same weekend but in and around Philly.
Philadelphia Freestyle:
Friday- JJ Odonnel, Willy Sions and I (A.J.) where at the 360 Skate Spot in Willow Grove for their lock in event. We performed demos/clinics/skated with the kids from 10.30pm- about 4am the next morning (thank god for daylight savings!)
Sat.- After work I called up Willy Sions and Ryan Thompson (Red Bull) and we went to the first RocRite (Breakdancing) B-boy and B-Girl Jam in Southwest Philly to check it out. So what does this have to do with skating? Everything! Ever since New York Flugtag and talks and demos with Image from the Ultimate Breakdown ideas started to gel in our heads and how it could be possible to combine efforts and learn from one another. Image and I are planning a colaboration next year possibly as soon as April at there next Jam.
Thats whats been going on but now I will tell you about Roc Rite.
Let me say that RocRite was amazing! It was so eloquently simple a D.J. and a smooth floor, the B-boys/girls do the rest. I was amazed to see so many people still breakdancing and the progression from what I used to see till now Crazy! As Willy put it Holy Sh#$! It just enforced our view how simular it is to Freestyle Skateboarding and Flatland Biking and this idea of combining events has been in our heads for quite awhile. But just like Freestyle Skaters its hard to find Breakers and Flatlanders beacause all of these forms are so underground from there mainstream brothers and only the truly dedicated practice these forms. I see a unique opprotunity to combine these events together and have a ton of fun in the process! Ideas, comments, sugestions, are always welcome but this is one of our goals this coming year. Filming and skating as much as possible as well as our outreach and church events its going to be a busy year!
Sunday- JJ went and met the Vans team, demoed for the kids and got Ray Barbee to sign his board!
Whew thats all for know more later...

That TV vid clip was awesome, Yoyo. It sure brings back memories. And it's nice to put a face to the names I've read about so many times. And I REALLY dug the "rail to handstand wheelgrab boardspin to casper" that Gunter did...I did the *exact* same trick back when I competed and even did it when I skated against Gunter back in '86 in Oceanside. Man does the clip bring back good memories!!!

Congratz to all the good people at GFSA, all the freestylers,their sponsors and supporters for a great world class event.
Props to Joe Humeres for launching the NYC jam scene, sound like those guys had a great time.
The Rengstorff Park Jam, also on the same day, was sparse with most of the regulars missing out. it did give Robert (photographer) and i chance to do an in depth interview with Gary Holl, a great all aroung skater whose specialities are freestyle and slalom.
See pictures from the NYC Joe Jam and the Gary Holl, Rengstorff Jam on www.noicing.com in a day or two.
Others that showed up for the Rengstorff Jam were Dan Troyan, his four buddies,Gary's wife, two grey squirrels, a black squirrel, and a Godzilla trophy we made on the spot!

Agreed on Dagoo. He's frustrated and/or bored and can't think of anything better to do than poke fun at those involved with the renaissance of freestyle skateboarding. It might be slightly entertaining if the guy's spelling, grammar and sense of humor weren't so bad. As it stands, his posts are simply an annoying and pathetic waste of time. It would be better for everyone, including Dagoo, if he would channel his energies into something creative and constructive that he has some passion for, whatever that might be.
