Yeah we got some good looking footage. I'm in the process of getting some footage together with my '8-wheeled' friend. Lewis has been filming skaters, snowboarders etc. for something like 10 years. We're hoping to do a couple things with the eventual video...a promo video for me, so I can afford to quit my job and be a slalom racer full time (yeah right) and also I'd like to put a 'How to' video together for slalom skating that will show how the style of slalom skating can be adapted to things like sidewalk surfing.

Hey Gary, thanks for inviting me. I had a great time. That was the first time I ever skated 100 cones. My new job requires me to 'cold call' in my territory daily. I'm planning to make the rounds on Wed and Thurs. I'd like to make some of your secret sessions on either of those days...or just let me know when and where and maybe I can make the trek down there. Congrats on running a fine race and racing a fine race. See you soon.

You ride the waves of contractions with the love of your life and catch the greatest catch of your life when your new child is born.
There will always be another perfect line-up and phenominal days of fishing yet to come.

Ok, I'll buy that. BUT, Sandy goes into labor and at the same time there's a Nor'easter off the coast and 7-8 foot swells are pounding the beach.
Plus, there's mackerel running like no one's seen since Grampa was a tyke.
What do you do?

Ok. let me see if I got this straight. I'm not married and have no kids (that I know of,) so this is all new to me.
Sandy is pregnant, due any day and TK is planning on everyone coming to his house and going fishing if the surf's not up? Is that right?
Geez, no wonder I never got married. I don't fish or surf.

I paddled out at nine palms once with a 1 oz krocodile and
cast towards shore, into the backs of the waves.
caught a 6lb barred pargo. not that easy getting to
shore. good thing it wasn't bigger. I was feeling
quite the bad-ass, but next day, as I sat in the
lineup with none other than pat curren, some guy
swims by with an old wooden speargun. 1/2 hour later, he
swims in with 3 fish in the 10-20 lb range,
grouper, cabrilla and spanish mackerel. now that's
fishing and surfing.
mike, get a hotline 4/3 with hood. you'll be fine.
TK, I don't know you but I wish I did. have fun.

TK-I HAD NO IDEA! That's GREAT NEWS!
I'd love to come surf, skate & fish with you. I don't think I have a wetsuit for it though. Mine's a 4/3 and it's not warm enough for OB. I freeze my booty off everytime I paddle out up here. I guess I gotta invest in a new suit. Fish huh? I was just doing a little fishing myself a couple weeks ago. There's a little lake over in the East Bay called Del Valle Lake or Res. Sirie and I went camping, rented a little motor boat and I caught a couple small mouth bass and a rainbow trout.
Anyhow...I gotta run. I'm supposed to be going on a video shoot with this guy today to document some sidewalk surfing ala slalom style. I know a couple roads over in the Sunset Dist. here in SF that'll look killer on video. We're also going to shoot some slalom, hopefully, once we finish that. Right now though, outside isn't looking to skate worthy....heavy fog up here this morning with roads as wet as if it just rained. I plan to copy the edited version and get some copies to everyone...I promise they'll be cheap!!!heheheheh
Take it easy.....

Skating, point breaks (lefts, rights or both?) and FISHING? Now you`re talking my game TK. Just what kind of fish you gots up there?
And the dogs....brown ticks or deer ticks? Should I take some Advantage before I come up?

No Breck, Sandys supposed to have a baby that day. Shes tough but not THAT tough. Once the lil one gets old enuf we will be back at the races in Ca. For now its Da Farm and local jam sessions. Come to NH any time to skate Rye Airfield, surf uncrowded point waves and fish. Theres always room at my house so long as you like dogs. Its a cool scene here. Good luck in Breck. TK

Ok ok... I'm still hot to have a GRS somewhere with all you guys, and maybe a few others? Not many slalom races posted after Breck for a good bit. Let's make something happen!
Can't wait to see that new board Mike!

Clayton...I'm into the Presidio session. I can't make the Tuesday one, but Thursday would work well for me. Right now, I don't know about Tunnel for this kid...sounds fun as always, but I just don't know what's on tap for Sirie and I this weekend. That dream of unreasonable amounts of money and a keg of Guinness might not be too far off. Wait until you see the board I've got on the way!!!!!!! It'll know your socks off. I'm outta here. No tie to wear for the next three days...WOOHOO!! Peace out yo.

Let's tunnelroad this sunday (a little piedmont included)!
you all down with that?
Also, I think it would be a lot of fun to do the whole north - south of sf airport thing soon. i'm sure it will be fun - localism rules. And no! - I don't think I want to be team maysey (unless i get paid unreasonable amounts of money and a weekly keg of guinness).
another smart thing to do in sf is our own weeknight practice. presisidio is fun and a slightly fast. how about it? tuesdays and thursdays around 7?
Keep it real.

Miko-What I meant was, the Bomb Squad probably wouldn't want to be 'Team Maysey.' They've got their own thing going.
David-Tunnel Super GS would be killer...I also think Killer Hiller would be totally cool. Hey, if there's cones it's slalom....I think.

Mike - the Bomb Squad not DOWN!!???? It usually seems like Ravitch, Jonathan, Clayton, Sully, Eli are ready to go. I'm sure this would be a fun GRS format, despite the resemblance to other unappetizing, disastrous geographic quarrels. We're all crew, so it's all good.
I'm particularly good for lots of riding in the 6/18 thru 6/30 dates. Let's put something on the calendar!
Either saturdays 6/21 and 6/28 would rock... If there's no GRS I'm looking for some downhilling action those days.
