Why am I not surprised that you've landed in such a finely feathered nest?
Hit 'em up for some sponsorship, Dude. They'll love the idea and never miss the change.
Safe Travels, Robbie.

Budweiser would be an import and the local flavors are damn good, we should be set. I still have bottle caps from Austria in my pockets from last summer. I was wondering if Josh was gonna pull it off, lock up your daughters tour 08. Skip, if your asking about staying in Amsterdam for 3 hours vs 1 week? Hmm? I'm on the run again and can't type much...golf course computer...old white guys are starting to stare...late Joe thanx for the gloves! Love the Glove!

TimeShip Headquarters needs to get you some REAL gloves before you head out on your adventure. What address do we use these days? Price is already overloaded with domestic issues and is trying to focus on Europe but it's so difficult with his new girlfriend learning to foot brake and all......

Thanks for the input guys. That is what I thought the answer would be.
I've got another scenario for ya'
After flying into Prague, changing the PRG to AMS leg and making our lay-over in AMS a week, instead of 3 hrs. If the penelty is less than $250 USD it would be worth it.
Any comments? think it would "fly"?

Guys, you're going to Europe, not Khyber Pass. If the world judged us purely on our presidents, we'd have lost all our friends years ago. We need our citizens to represent our values and ideals as they travel abroad and I can think of no better ambassadors than Mr. Price and Mr. McKendry!!
You guys are patriots and I'm proud to know you but uh, If things don't work out, here's the number to the American Embassy (+46) 8 783 5300

Tanks for the info. I flew to Capetown once and the rules changed on my return. Sometimes you gotta deal with a person at the counter who may not want to help and then you got somebody who will just do everything to make you happy.
I've been keeping tabs on Justin and he's been able to say his name and the recovery is going to take time. Keep sending him those positive vibes, it's working. His folks are taking turns to be by his side so keep em in your thoughts.
I fly into Stockholm on the 3rd for the smallest 4th of July celebration in Sweden. Dave Price and I will be waving flags and blowing up stuff to celebrate America's failure to dominate the Planet.
That reminds me...I need to put Canadian flags on all my gear. EH?

Skip, Andreas is correct. There is no way that can happen unless you have your ticket booked as such. It's possible if Northwest and Czech Airlines are major partners but it will still cost you a serious penalty.
Prague is one of my favorite cities. Amsterdam...no comment!
I think I might try and make these events. Hope to see everyone there.
Any other airline questions, hit me up.
Rob, you going??

If you "no show" in the CZ then you will not be able to get on the plain in Amsterdam. Try to re book your ticket.

I have a question that Mr. Smallwood may be able to give me perspective on. Heck, one of you folks out in speed-land may have encountered this yourselves. I'll explain it the best I can...
Flying to Europe for 2 races. Czech Rep. and Amsterdam. Back to back weekends. Arrive 8-5-08, Return 8-19-08
Our flight is 1 stop, PDX to Prague (PRG), changing planes in Amsterdam (AMS). Same on the way back, PRG to AMS, AMS to PDX
The second race is in Amsterdam, so we have to get back to Prague to fly home.I would love to eliminate the trip back to Prague, Only to turn around and fly back to Amsterdam the next morning.
My question to you Sir... Do you think it would be possible to no-show for our flight from PRG to AMS (which is with Czech Airlines), and just fly from AMS to PDX ( which is Northwest)?
You can email me directly or share here. Thanks for the help.
Our thoughts are with Justin and his family & crew. Be safe out there kids

I only know he has several serious injuries after sliding off the road on Mt. Baker. His father has been updating folks on Silverfish. I would rather have you go there than me misinform anyone.
This was a post from his dad.
Justin is still unconscious. The medication is not keeping him under, just helping keep him calm and keeping the intracranial pressure down. We're waiting for him to come out of it whenever he is ready. He has a couple of brain injuries in the frontal lobe and in the thalmus, and a few sheer-injury sites around the perimeter of the brain. None of them appear to have gotten worse since the accident.
His pelvis fracture consists of a few small pieces broken off the outer wing at the right hip and a 3 inch laceration open to the bone. The orthopedists are letting it heal on its own for now. That may change if he needs to put any weight on it before it's healed. He also has a small laceration of the liver, but that is also being allowed to heal on its own.
He's on a respirator, although he is able to breathe on his own. It just keeps his breathing steady, strong and easy on him so he doesn't have to work at anything. All of his monitored functions show improvement and stable conditions since being admitted to the ICU.
He shows a lot of muscle action/reaction on the left side and a little action on the right side in response to pain and movement stimulus, which is promising. We just need him to wake up and tell us what's wrong, if anything. It's going to be a long process folks. Keep sending him those good wishes, and thanks for all the nice comments in this forum. I'm reading them to him as they come in.

Way to go Kevin! That's Way Cool for you bro. I saw the footage and photo's and to just see how hard ya'll charged into that corner, impressive is an understatement.
Mr. Rolfe, I had to google your name and thanx for the history lesson. Pocahontas? That's prime gambling rights for your demon seed. So I thought digging a trench was bad and hope the local economy can quickly replant and harvest before the end of season. Planting tobacco was a side note to sk8ing some prime hills, seeing you guys in the District and bombing in the pitch black was way cool.
Vail Pass West Syyyyeeeed is up and running. Real big tail winds and "I have no legs" Thought a bear or mountain lion could grab me at anytime though. Really. Lots of snow and scat and wind...pretty cool.
Of the ColoRADo wind. The Tornado in Windsor was devastating to lots of folk and happens to be home to some core Colorado sk8'rs who are helping to clean up as I type, thanx guys.

Geez Nick, glad your ok.
I'm working heaps to pay for the month I traveled and trying to save for the next adventure. I can't make it to Lookout today but I've been goin there pretty randomly. I'm gonna get down there soon for a couple days and hit you up for a Rist session also. It's tuff for me to get down there and back on the days I work, but if you can make it up here you've got a couch.
Everything up here seems to be ridable (could snow again) now that it's warming up. I have some gate codes for private roads that are just a blast to run.
DANGER BAY TODAY!!!!!!

Rob, sorry I couldn't make it to the event, i got hit by a car while riding my bike down in NOLA. My face shattered the windshield, my hip broke off the side mirror, and i smashed the passenger window and door panel in. Motherf#@!er turned in front of me and I T-Boned him.
people were asking me if i was dead when i woke up.
anyways, we are skating lookout tomorrow from 4:30 in the afternoon onwards, I will give you a call in the AM to see if you can make it. would love to skate with da turd before I take off for my south american adventure.
