I didn't need anything anyway so you didn't miss much by missing my call. Any time I hear a Slayer or Pantera song I think I have to call you. HA!

I won't be at D.S. this year, I'm doing I.S. Regardless, have a great time.

When you coming out Roberto? I am recovering with six broken ribs so hopefully not for at least another month (not skate related). There's been a resurgence of downhill activity in the Capital. Maybe we'll put on a race for your heralded visit.

I can't ever remember registering for that event and since I did I guess I gotta go to France. I ain't never been to France before...I sure like there fries! I'm heading back east for a few days and will be calling on the DC Downhill crew to pound the pavement, Smallwood? Dupin? I would also like to hit some hills around the Blue Ridge and Skyline if anybody else is around. I was gonna try and make the Dump if anybody else is goin, I've got gas money and I'm old enough to buy beer. Thanx to Huey and Meehan for posting DC's outlaw photos. What a trip. I'm still laughing about the first Cali race. The Cali Series must continue for those of us who live in the rain and snow. Thanx to all of you guys/girls for giving us a venue to race in the winter. Ditch Slap is comin soon. How are we getting there? I don't wanna hitchhike again, pretty scary! Mercado are you driving out here for that? Colorado kids...Who is goin? Ma maison est ta maison, viens à Colorado sur le chemin du Fossé Slap. Je peux te rendre la liberté de pain grillé. Top to Copper Time trial Outlaw Mother's Day May 11th. 7 mile downhill Time Trial. Où est la course? Excusez-moi, mais savez-vous où il ya une grande colline?

So we got a foot of snow last night just after a week of warmer temps. I saw some street cleaners out this week but after seeing a car on its side this morning more cinders are on the way. Great to be in Cali last weekend and warm up! Vail closes April 13th, it's the biggest snowball fight in the World! Drop a line if ya wanna shred before it's all over. Street Swell just launched there site. These guys have been helping with races and freerides over the years and will continue to support what we do, because they like to ride. So far I can only afford one of the hats but they've got a bitchn logo. www.streetswell.com You can pick your wood and shape and your nose! The most beautiful boards in all the land.

On 3/18/2008 price wrote in from United States  (65.19.nnn.nnn)

thanks for waking me up this morning rob. snowboarding in Vail would be sweet but i really don't want to pay $85 bucks for a lift ticket. hows about we meet halfway at WolfCreek? i know they are extending their season till the end of april cus of all the snow they have. lift tickets are only 40 something bucks up there. plus they have the most snow in colorado. i was thinking of taking a trip up there with Mr. Jon "can you hold my camera while i win this race" Huey since he will be in new mexico for 3 weeks. how does that sound?

also...lets talk europe trip planning when we're in California.

now, should i bring whole wheat or regular flour?

Spring is tightening and about too...

K thanx, She was the lady that thought I could do no wrong, then I got older and everybody in the family realized kids grow up to be nothing but torture for a life that...Oh sorry...Yeh, skateboarding, yeh. Hope your girls are still perfect, Madeline must be? 20?

Huey thank you for covering your face with that camera! I wonder just how many incredible photos you've taken that we might never see. Do you have a professional website? I look forward to you wondering what to do this summer, skate or shoot? "Can you hold my camera for a minute while I win this race?"

Sounds like Andrew will have more criminals in his van than any Califlournia Correctional Vehicles. Spring is Thursday and it looks like white clouds are in the forecast.

Vail closes April 13th if you wanna come shred and ya'll start thinking about getting here before or after Ditch Slap, my door is open

gone riding


Huey photo, I remember this kid sitting on the coping with Budro and Biker talking shop.

Hey Robbie,
Was so sorry to hear about your Grandmother.
My thoughts, good wishes and prayers are always with you.
I know you loved her. I remember some of the stories you used to tell me about your Grandparents, and it was so evident that you loved them as much as they loved you.
I read the post your bro wrote about having a son :) Looks like you're it, hehehehehehehe!
