I will be updating as much as poss in the next few days about my adventures with Andreas and how we survived. The whip was fixed with a Randal dh bushing and zip ties and I now know my way under the hood of a VW Transporter. The trip home was long but made special with all the memories and laughs shared with my skateboard family from around the Globe. I still feel like I need to be somewhere...a riders meeting, safety meeting, the starting line! Thank you for the Bday wishes and I won't forget this one. We've only a few weeks to Mary and a smarter person would call it his Swan Song, will see. I couldn't have travelled without Andreas and thank you for showing me some real treasures. Skunkwerx...A company that flew a racer first class to Europe and upon the news of my poor racing performance, told me to have a beer, some fun and get over it. Open your mind, travel and smile to everyone you can. I have to stop typing and go to work, besides this post just got too mushy, sappy, yeh gay! Sorry if that offends you but it's a good word! GAY!
Thank you IGSA, Ewok City, the Swedes, Weegies, Poles, Frogs, Wankers, Germans, Swiss, Danes, Mericans, Austrians, CANADIANS, Ausie OI!, Hawaii, bartenders, GIRLS, farms with chickens and attack dogs. gotta go, see you at the top.

Hey Dude, we have an infestation of ground rodents here at the club and need your help as sooon as possible. You have that 6th sense so you can talk to them if you are high enough. They have chewed thru the power lines and we have no power. we have to wear headlamps and use flahlight to cook by. The fire marshall is all over collins's s#@! for setting off the fire alarm with the hot box the other night. We have you on the schedule 5 shifts starting on Sat. We have a party for 250. We hope you are ready. Gary is off the sauce and on the warpath. Watch out!!!!!!!!! See you soon. Paul, Dave, cole, mike, stinky whistle teeth, harvey and Magic Juan say hi. Hello everyone I am Here.

Bye

A new sheet of asphalt has fallen upon Daybreak Ridge, Bachelor Gulch, Avon, CO. I believe it goes up and over to Strawberry Park, Beaver Creek and is brought to you by the blacktop masters at B&B Excavating. We should be out of there by Tuesday 7/22. Enjoy

Switzerland
On 7/14/2008 mc3 wrote in from Switzerland  (80.218.nnn.nnn)

The TSR top is so comfy, cooling, and sexy. France was real chill eerbody just smiling and bombing a beautiful road. Thanx to all the folks who made that event so special, Thank you Koma! The best field I can remember too. I became a quick spectator and the battles were amazing. Kevin's predrift's are jaw dropping, such control. The Tour De France and rain maid us bug out to Switzerland, no wonder World Champions and so many great sk8ers are coming from here. You gotta go over a Pass to get milk on the most beautiful pavement Swiss francs can buy. Time to dry out before the next one. The whip is in the shop, we lost brakes at Peyragudes and 5th gear is...well we ain't got one. Hope I don't have to break out the thumb.
Callahan, Which side did ya do, and any other run's?

Nice job boyz! Thanks for keeping us posted and keep up the good work. Price, sounds like you are holding your own fairly well for a lightweight. Rob, have you been sporting your new TSR rash guard? It might be Gay here but I think in Europe it's acceptable (still gay). Does Brianne wear hers?

Peyragudes Results

first Krimes, Scoot, Martin, Mike Z

Great racing!!!!!

Me...Me, Budro, Lundberg, Liam...While I was running 4th in a close race, Jeff went into the hay, Liam ran into Jeff, I made the turn clean. Here's the rule: if you come off your board you can kick, I didnt come off so Liam and Jeff played the game right and kicked past me. I guess I should have crashed so I could kick. Still smiling!!! Lotès of actione!!! Stupid rules! Time for the PARTY! More my speed.
