Worlds
On 10/15/2004 mike maysey wrote in from United States  (64.208.nnn.nnn)

Thanks Kenny...you looked pretty damn good yourself, especially in the outfit on Friday...heheh....I'm on the ascent! Partying with you, Mark, Bobby and everyone else on Sunday was pretty cool. I never realized how funny you were. Maybe it was the beer talking!!! hehehe
Sam, as for that hub...there are many hubs out there that are flip-flop. I have one on my Bianchi...I just need a lockring on the side that I have the 19 on, although I probably won't use it since the 48-16 is plenty good for the LBC.

Hub
On 10/15/2004 SamG wrote in from United Kingdom  (193.203.nnn.nnn)

Miko, Goldtec in Wales produce the Flip Flop rear track hub that will allow for a different toothed sprocket on either side.
I was a little annoyed on Sunday's TS to find that your board had two speeds also. The first being 'fast!'



Thanks very much for lending me the pads and crash hat on Saturday; you more than deserved your win!

You looked good and kicked some ass last weekend. Nice to have you back. Evans coaching has put you right back on top. Keep it up.

Doh! Fixed gear eh? I'm curious if those two speed rear hubs are still being made? (The ones you changed gears by hitting the brakes?)

ICK Stuff...
On 10/4/2004 Miko wrote in from United States  (69.85.nnn.nnn)

Hey Mike... I really want to take your new GS board for a ride. I'm thinking about one more deck for the next year or so. I'll have two Carerras with different w/b and the Retro Flattie, but think I want something around 34"-36" with foam and camber. Can't wait to see it.

I think that matchup with Mollica is a good one. I'm riding with Gareth. Stoked... 4 days to Super G. I've been training on my newly repaved, top-secret 1/2 mile 40mph hill. I drove up to it a week ago and it was just redone. Amazing and SWEET. Can't set cones on it, but it's one of the best ever.

David, Mike... what's a fixy bike?

Spooning?!
On 10/2/2004 Miko wrote in from United States  (69.19.nnn.nnn)

Mike... Well, well... so now you've got cash. Just don't expect a happy ending ok big boy? Now I know who's been hogging up Rick's board building time dammit. He says he'll get mine done and bring it to me at the Worlds, but I'm probably going to just run the Retro Flattie. I'm stoked to have a bit longer w/b Carerra. See you late thursday night.

Watch out Worlds
On 10/2/2004 mike maysey wrote in from United States  (67.225.nnn.nnn)

Thanks Dave...I've been practicing my legs off since I moved down here. Riding a good variety of hills and courses. I also just got two new Icks about 2 weeks ago...one for hybrid and one for GS...they are the sickest sticks!!! Finally got a good session on the GS board today on a course which will hopefully be similar to the SGS on Friday...and my hybrid board will absolutly kill the course on Saturday. BTW, that's a great pic of you form Tunnel. Take 'er easy.

The World and Beyond
On 9/22/2004 mike maysey wrote in from United States  (67.225.nnn.nnn)

Yo there folks,
Congratulations to the Reese's....you guys did it. Wished I coulda been there to get pickled with all y'all. Hey I was thinking of starting a skateboard company but what the heck would I do with all that extra cash? Hey Miko, talk to Evo, he's got a room that I had to back out of since I'm too broke to pay for it. Maybe if you crash there and we get someone else it'll be doable for a bunch of us? Talk to Evo though. I found a couch to surf since I'm unemployed at the moment. On the bright side, I've got something lined up with a temp agency here in Long Beach to get me by after the Worlds...just gotta survive on $400 until after I get back to town. I've been looking at some alternative programs for school...UCLA extension, Long Beach City College, etc...I just gotta find a program that's not gonna send back to the poor house.

Can't wait for the Worlds...Wahl, Thomas and Myself sessioned a fun little hill here in Long Beach last night...fun little hybrid course good for some laughs. Tomorrow is the real training day though...up in the morning to the path for some tight and hybrid then onto HB for some 'WTF' slalom consisting of 25 '6 straight cones on a flat surface...makes my back and stomach hurt just thinking about it.

Pasadena
On 9/22/2004 Miko wrote in from United States  (69.85.nnn.nnn)

Hey Mike, that Pasadena location would put you very close to JPL and Gorman, as well as GMR for downhilling. Upland skatepark with fullpipe and all is also close enough for regular sessions. Hmmm... Looking forward to seeing you at the Worlds. Do you have your lodging taken care of? I'm still looking, but found a deal for thurs-sun depart mon am, for two for about $225.

We missed you last weekend - JR and Molly are hitched and all our livers are taxed to the limit. Career, hummm, start a skate company, you'll make a fortune.

Art Schools and Bike Shops
On 9/21/2004 msk wrote in from United States  (66.214.nnn.nnn)

Mike-

If you're willing to go a few miles inland, Pasadena City College has a highly regarded art dept. Many of the instructors there also teach at Art Center (just a few miles away), and PCC's program is geared towards students transfering over. Basically, you can get the first few years of an Art Center education for almost nothing.

I also know of a bike shop in the Pasadena area that needs help, since I'm leaving to go work for KHS next month. Email me if you want more info..

Yo!
On 9/19/2004 mike maysey wrote in from United States  (69.0.nnn.nnn)

Yo Sull,
As a matter of fact I haven't experienced the LA gridlock at all yet. And yes, my track stands are getting better...as long as I haven't had too much to drink. Getting ready for the Worlds...skating with the Professor as much as possible...it'll be more now since I recently got fired from the bike shop I was working at. It's a long story, but in a nutshell, the owner and myself didn't get along at all. Yes, it was personal.

I'm having second thoughts about Brooks. It's very, very expensive and the school is having some accreditation issues that scare me. I'm looking into other options for breaking into graphic design at this very moment. Extension course, etc. Anyone out there have any suggestions that might be more cost effective? I'm open to suggestion...

Late
