I had so much fun riding my new LANDY CHINOOK. Mike down in New Mexico busted his out for the Chinese Ditch Race. I stood on it and he told me Wilcock told him it would be a good ride. Jody is a big hero of mine and when he couldn't make it to DS or JZ...Mike was there replacement? Big Shoes Big Mike! So yeh that landy is turny and I threw a DH Randal BP with an R2 hanger and ripped it! Love that board!
Landy will be always copied because of there how do you spell inovation? inava inovat inavay...Landy's!!!! buy em, own em ride em,
Get some gloves,
Jimmy Flindt!!!! you are so right!

KF congrats on the new man and hope all's well back in the Commonwealth, is that how ya spell it?
Trail Ridge Road is way fun! Really wanna ride that again. MF'N Callahan and Koop were flying down the hill as they should be, nice backyard!
Things are warmin up and down valley up heer in Eagle County is drying out.
Lookout Mt was super windy and that seems to slow things down up there, but doesn't change the hairpins or the tail at the bottom.
Been trying to get it all in because work has started. See ya up there
Missing Danger Bay, Ya'll have fun, be safe, and score lots of goals!

Sunday Brought us a beautiful day, though the pass was snowed out.
Shuttle vehicles were aplenty in the form of three decked out SUV's but sadly lacking riders.
It was great meeting & riding with you Rob and I look forward to some more turns! Thanks for putting up with my lack of skills!
This is a quality place to make dome turns and worthy of making the commitment!

Robbie, You are so funny. I can't believe you are saying stuff like 'I remember when I was your age'to the young 'uns.
Did you call your Mom on Mother's Day, young man? Or where you just out bombing hills?
BTW, moved back to the flatlands of VAB :) Ate Sh*** on a wee hill on the kid's Sector 9 48'' longboard last week, and have removed all the skin from my left knee. Loose trucks and speed wobble are deadly :) You would have peed yourself laughing if you'd seen it.
Am getting married next month. To a nice young Army officer, this time. Wish me luck.
As Always, I wish YOU luck in everything, my friend.
Skate Fast. Have Fun.
XO

I was hoping the snow would have melted but the sun needed the entire day to melt the course. Nobody would know that unless they showed up. I never called the event or wanted to because the weather was beautiful and we had 3 shuttle vehicles to hit other hills. Thank you to Brent who drove his Airport shuttle van up from Aspen. I also had two 2008 Volvo's a wagon and suv, power everything and full leather that could shuttle up the Pass at 100 mph. I did what I could to make sure we would be able to skate on a perfect day in the mountains. Some of you certainly have excuses but not one person told me they had to hang out with mom. This date was picked in January and was the weekend after Ditch Slap to get riders who might be in the area. I'm goin skating today and tomorrow, and the day after that. If you wanna sk8 gimme a call otherwise have fun typing about how much you like to sk8. Don't forget to include how fast you are or how cool your board is, really like reading about your drop thru top mount dilema's, or whose griptape is faster. Why didn't more Colorado skaters go to Ditch Slap? I remember when I was your age we use to travel around the World to go race a hill...haha haha. How many Colorado longboarders does it take to put on an event? none, there to busy coming up with a screen name.
Brent gimme a buzz when you come thru, and I'm glad we got a couple turns in.
I'm on my way to Estes today maybe Lookout Mt. first, see you at the top. thundercat420

If your asking about Saturday I am too. JP, when and where? If you want people to show that info is helpful, maybe put it on the flyer?
From JP..."Saturday, early!! like riders meeting @ 8:30 am @ dubes' house and then we'll drive out to the hill. It's near Rist, but no where near as scary. I hear it's supposed to snow sat. afternoon, that along with the traffic factor is the reason for holding the race early. with man vs. man heats, I figure 7-8 runs will have everyone race all the way thru. The road is fast, but pretty easy (barley one turn that you have to grab rail for). It's more of a drafting battle thru dropping sweepers. Hopefully the weather will hold, if not I'll be up @ 6 am tomorrow to call it. If it goes off it'll be fun 4sure. Are you crashing @ calahans tonite? If not you can crash here or @ josh's place. let me know"
I will try to get up there today and sweep and tune things up. I have floor space and a roof for all ya'll, just gimme some heads up.
This morning @ 7am 25F no wind some clouds. High today 70F Isolated Tstorms
Sunday looks good but lil cold for camping

Will NOT do the Masonville race but be at Vail pass Sunday am... Gas is TOO F*#KING expensive to do both. No camping too cold... See Y'all Sunday!

I think Sunday it's going to break. I rode the course yesterday and had a blast. There's some snow and the bridges are wet but after we take a run you'll be stoked. Over the 6 miles I had to walk 10 feet. It has been plowed and can't be any better for all the surrounding snow. I'm going to be up there @ the butt crack so if you want to call me early Sunday to get a report please feel free. 970 688 1547

I just got in. Sleeping bag is being washed and it needs it! I'm not goin camping, I haven't been home in a while.
Ditch Slap was a blast as usual and great to see everybody down there. I only ran in the Chine Knees Ditch Race and had marbles thrown under my wheels and was also smoke screened with flour. I was laughing so hard I almost fell. I just wanted to say thanx real quick, I gotta go do laundry. Thank you Timeship.
Lot's of great stories to tell.
Mother's Day Sunday May 11th Vail Pass Rest Area at the Top 9 AM.......more details to come....
