DC DC HOw was your trip? Would like to hear about it sometime.
I had a few guests for the weekend KLUDY and the only sk8 footage I have is the first Gravity Games. We watched it many times. So yeh we had this crew this past weekend. Started off up @ Loveland Pass Friday afternoon. I got up there and rode 2 down the Basin side and one down the Loveland side. It took me a while to get a lift and that only gave me time for standing out in the open and of course a Statey pulls up to tell me I'm done and to pack it up. Justin and Cooper met me at the top and we each road the Basin side a couple times. Really fun road with gravel in all the scary places, good speed and grippy turns. Those guys got one in on the Loveland sssyed and we split. The next day we left for Cottonwood Pass with Zak, Calvin and Tommy 3 young punks with nothing better to do then chase an old man down one of the biggest roads and most epic scenery. COTTONWOOD PASS IS SICK! Guess what kids...it's only an hour 40 for me! Ok sorry to rub it in but I'm goin there this weekend. Stop by before it snows. Glad ya'll came by and I would tell more stories about wheels coming off and HIGH speeds with deer and hairpins with cars and wow had a blast. Sorry Justin got tweek'd. Dude you gotta get healed for Brasile. Still think your the only American goin. Kludy's Gotta have some thoughts on Tuetonia I don't know how to spell it. Justin got some great photos and sux the so best foto guy is the guy who can't ride, but you stayed on as the driver also. cool cool. thanx for the truck Cooper and keeping things safe! Fun chasing you guys. We gotta Vail Pass Copper SSSSyeds in before the trip was thru. Thanx again ya'll, lotta fun.

How I spent my Summer Vacation...I was fortunate to go to more races this year and skate some real treasures than ever before. I got to see plenty of old friends, some of the same old dicks, and make lots of new friends who share the same adrenaline deficiency. (Wow, this is cheesy) I was riding Loveland again this past Saturday, such a rad scene. Snow and mountains, big trucks and hairpins. These 3 kids came up to me while I was staging and started with the wow and cool, "your crazy", "can I stand on your board?". So they asked if they could interview me for school, no prob. The kid's first question is "What is a journey?" DAMN! He got me. I mean I just clammed up, I got boards in my car older than the kid that have been around the World. My car has 229,000 miles on it. Steve Perry left the band years ago and Neil Schon was just an ok player during the guitar hero days. I smiled, looked dumb and tried to talk about myself and my journeys, but that's not it. Life and everyday is a journey...wow. While on top of Loveland an old couple like 70ish?? Where walking back to there car. As the old woman passed me she asked if I was skateboarding down the road. She said the last time her and her husband drove over this mountain pass there was a guy skating it, 30 years ago. I laughed and said "no way", she sat down on the tailgate of my truck with me and said "you don't believe me do you?" I wasn't calling her a liar I was shocked that Loveland had been skated so long ago. She had photos from that day and of course we posed together for one.
I've had 3 people at random times who have nothing to do with sk8ing ask if I saw these guys in suits bombing a big hill with a camera? "Sure, Noah and Rizzo" I had no idea that vid was getting such circulation and glad it is. That vid says a lot about what we do, It's all about fun. Thanx for keeping it FUN guys.
Journey this weekend to Colorado Passes!!!
P Rice I would love to see ya down there and will try to get it together, helloooo Timeship.
Also on the Pass...A small 2 seater plane came over, or I should say under. Damn thing was so low I was looking down into the cockpit. Guy was buzzin the s#@! outta the parking lot. Thought of you Jimmy Flindt! Happy Birthday Buddy! My Journey wouldn't be the same without you.
My house this weekend, rsvp.

Rick, Thanx for everything. "I'm just here to have fun", "If I pass a couple of these young bucks I'll be stoked", "Please don't let me hit the hay". You always say what needs to be said. Looking forward to sharing a beer with you before qualifying. I got into this sport after seeing that stare when you were on the line at the Gravity Games. That image is burned into my brain, and quite an honor to watch the raw footage in the Kludy family room this year. Thanx for taking care of me. My CBS footy is short and I'm trying to stay in frame, not run into the car, and smile the whole time. They were playin the Chargers so maybe it aired there? The background, Loveland Pass is beautiful. It's above treeline at 12,oooft and there is snow and sunshine with the bluest Colorado skies ya ever did see...ah. So yeh it's really nice out today and I'm gonna go scrape the couch for gas money to get to the hill before work. Take care, see ya at the top...

We were all too busy skating to watch football so now I'm hopeful that someone will be able to put Rob's big moment up on You Tube so that his feat can be memorialized forever. It's amazing that as hard as we might try to get Speedboarding into the national spotlight, all he had to do was just bomb the local pass and CBS shows up to plug him onto the TV screens of millions.
I wanna see it, Foot braking is my favorite skate move!

These celebration photo's look like something from a science fiction film or strange Broadway Play. Skateboarding meets Fear and Loathing. I had so much fun in the last few months sk8ing with ya'll...Too many names to forget but the hills...Lookout,GMR,VailPass,(all in the same day)Rist,Barrett,Logging roads in WA,SwissBackcountry,SwedishBackcountry,Europe,WashingtonDC,Mary,theHighcountry,
NewMexico,Cali...smiles.
Huey thanx for the shots, BIG UPS
Justin I like call and stuff, lets get together this week. We should hit the hills in some order, what's the plan? I wanna get back up to Loveland asap, maybe that one past Breck on the way to Fairplay. Leaves are changing and the snow is falling, super time to go bomb.
gone ridin...Oh yeah Cbark I saw the Bronco footage and they used some big logos overme like Levi's and Sprint maybe some food I forget(Not like I don't have it Tivo'd or memorized from watching over and over) but I'm on national tv footbraking cause the guy can't drive fast enough.

Road Loveland Pass today and some guys from CBS filmed me to use as fluff during the Broncos football game Sunday, will see if it makes the cut.
Dubes and Kev, That big hill requires a tow in to get up to speed and a car to jump into at the bottom. It's big but I wonder if you can get up to speed and outta there b4 the law.
I had sheriff deputy stop me today and ask how fast I was goin? A trick question...they wanna hear I'm breaking the speed limit. I just told her I had to slow down for the turns. She told me she didn't know if what I was doing was illegal and she wasn't goin to check. Got lot's of runs today. I showed up at 8 am and this old man approached me to ask if I could take a photo of him in front of the elevation sign. (12,000ft) I asked him why he was holding a sign that said 50, realizing he was well over 50. He had just skied his 50th consecutive month by taking a short hike and run down the Pass at 76 (on skis).
