Jessie,
More details !!!! Give us the dirt. Or your fired.
Geo,
Glad you like the ramp. Its killer. We need coping and skatelite to finish her off. Painting the garage this weekend and biking my fat ass off. How was California? We want to make it out to the cabin this summer, but there is STILL 8 feet of snow on Aspen Mountain. I heard they may open June 13th. We will not go in June, and we have my 25 year reunion this 4th of July. I think it may be a Labor Day trip this year.
Stubbs,
I met the original "I tell you what" at Ethan's grad party. He did not throw a single "ITYW" my way.
Still smiling from the Sizzler and Indian. I watched the video again and that shot when you are getting a beer and just laughing says it all. Next March or April for sure. My nerves were shattered that whole weekend with my "rattle radikal" I thought my board was going to explode and almost quit in the middle of my timed run to see what the hell was all the noise.
We are getting psyched for Sweden and Hood. I have been working so hard this year at my job, my house, and trying to get in shape. I don't know about you guys, but summer has not really started here. Just a little too cold for the pool.
Peace, love, and Wes E.

Looks like Ryder has learned to sag his pants like Ethan! Nice ramp!
Glad to see you're going to Worlds in Sweden, probably won't be like 2005 with Team Radical though. I think the only Americans signed up are are you, CBark, ~Zak~ , Olson and Cat so do it right!
Go to http://www.slalomskaters.com/ there's info on lodging, transportation and people to e-mail directly. L8

The foot is getting better, Jessie is in Spain, Ryder just finished his first year of school, Ethan graduated from high school and is going to Lake Tahoe Community College. Life just keeps rollin' on. I have cranked out 950 miles on my bicycle since the Texas Sizzler and getting into shape. Its all good this year.
Ryder and Ethan sharing some time on our new 20 foot wide quarter pipe.

...and purchased a KENNY G ringtone when I thought it was a KENNY M ringtone (stupid banner ads!!!). I wanted my phone to ring with "I TELL YOU WHAT!" but instead I got sax.
Sent your 'zine out yesterday.

So things sure are different here, and I work a lot, things are good though. Last night I went out with this totally hot russian guy and we barely understood eachother. Took some pictures of kids skateboarding, and I am getting them on a cd this week so I can post some. Have not been to the skatepark yet, its about 30 mins away. I can't believe I am here, but at the same time, I miss home. Love you all!

Props to you, Dockta, for Hookin' me up in the past year and helping me to make it through a very important ten months. You will never know just how much you really saved me from the bad things by keeping on me and hooking me up with boards and all the coaching over the phone.You are the MAN.
Call me when you have time.

"They" have been saying vert has been dead for awhile so we started building a life size memorial in it's honor. 11ft tranny with 2ft vert. Bring a sack of nuts and something to wash'em down with.
You will be able to go so high on this thing we'll have to play Top Gun's "Danger Zone" while you ride!!!

I am leaving for Spain in 2 weeks. I am going to be an Au Pair for the summer in Ibiza. I am taking my longboard to cruise around the island. Totally stoked. Would not be able to do things like this if my boss was not so totally sweet. Thanks Kenny! See everyone at the Dixie!

Ryder and a friend Cloe decided to have a "death to Barbie" party. I supplied the hammers and coached them. I was so proud. The little guy is growing up.
After the pretend killing, Ryder decided to show off his new skills. Its pretty cool to see him, but I don't push it at all. He did it all on his own.

Ryder started standing up on the board yesterday. It was like a light went off and he is going down our small ramp while grabbing rail. Here he wasn't grabbing rail.

Hi Kenny - wow - your are a machine. I'm glad to see that your foot is getting better. it must have been hard staying positive, but you are the guy that can do it! My acl replacement almost sent me into a depression spiral. Hey, the word is that Walyl Inouye and Wally from Old Skool are going to be at Grove city around 9am tomorrow. I'm going to go and take some pictures. I'm going to hit the soap box derby hill afterwords for a spring tune up. Later - Jeff

George,
That was the most fun course of the four years I have attended the Indian School race. I vote same course for next year, or make some small changes.
I loved it. Going through the foot bridge at full speed on the wall was a trip. I felt like my head was going to get chopped off every time !!!

CabbaGe,
Miss you and the good times hanging with you bro! I have been many places since we last saw each other. I'm back home now trying to catch up on family myself. My third Grandson was born 2-13-08. The oldest Grandson is now 19 and in College. Glad you and your family are doing well. Busy is better than wondering what to do.
