sun is shining, weather is...

F N A !!!! Justin you go down there and see some ass! Brazil has the most beautiful women anywhere! I know you will be traveling with the wife but get some dark stunna shades. You're riding a Comet? Huh? What about Pagan? If they dropped you maybe we should talk? Please keep all of us updated as much as you can while in the jungle.

The line up for Brasile is really amazing and I couldn't pick who might win, neither can you? Good luck to you all and enjoy every moment.
Saturday will be the best day this week and I'm not down with pushing around a flat park. If the BBQ is anything like Never Summers boards, I'd rather eat at McDonalds. Sorry you will be missing a rad session riding your own local hill. I'm glad your organizing stuff down there Brian, that is way cool. Please don't think I'm trying to slam you, Denver needs you and all the other young kids who are pumped on riding. I will be looking at my griptape while you guys are dripping BBQ sauce on your graphics.
Going out to skate, its getting warmer...
Calvin, I need to talk to you soon. Please call me 970 445 8980

Stoked I got to take a couple runs with Gary. There's a short list of people who will stay in my head. I only met him briefly and his personality and image are stuck in my melon. peace

Nice !
On 10/16/2008 Kludy wrote in from United States  (216.70.nnn.nnn)

Getting excited !
I would say yes there will be a new world record this year.
I think the speed will be in the high 60 mph range and I also think the world is competing for it this year, as it should be .
Gary Hardwick would be very stoked to defend it and would go down trying.

It's code outside!
On 10/12/2008 mckendry wrote in from United States  (67.41.nnn.nnn)

So Erbans around tuning up for Brasile. Stop by, anytime, ya'll know how my place werx.

Man it is cold outside! I'm trying to thaw my fingers while typing. I'm going to take some old snowboard gloves and put sliders on em. Snowed down here last night but it's really sunny now, maybe the roads will dry in a couple hours. Sweet time to skate out there, all the leaves are on the roads and trails so you have these big wakes of gold aspen leaves flying in the air behind you.

I was trying to get my share of that 700 billion that's goin around but no daturd bailout this year. Really want to go to NYC for the BOMB, man that's a fun event. So NUTS! Taxi's, buses, tourists, cops, freakin racing thru NYC! GO if you can, a must ride. Have fun this weekend!

Got on Daybreak Ridge shhhhhhhssshhhh...

Sk8 safe stay in your lane (ok, unless you know there's nothing coming, but even then your just becoming complacent to safety and thats not, ok just stay in your lane)

NYC, Brazil, NBC, this things kinda big...look ahead.

Brasile
On 10/6/2008 mcKendry wrote in from United States  (67.41.nnn.nnn)

I hope you can heal up fast and stay positive mon, you shouldn't miss the chance to ride this...well you understand the importance of this. Hanging out in Brasile with my brothers is BIGGER than ANY HILL! Remember the Crippled Master, "If I survive, I will be a success".
I rode Cottonwood a couple times Saturday. It was COLD! There's a lot of animals up there. Holy Big Horn Sheep, angry looking guys too. A small chipmunk tried to commit squirrelicide but freaked me out into missing him. Not many shuttles, I had the thumb out and got rides every 30 minutes, kinda sucked. That hill is fun.
P rice I'm gonna try to get to Brunson's Saturday, cause Friday is Halloween and I Volunteer at the local boys club sucking razor blades outta apples.
Oh I founds the copy of "Bomb Hillz Not Tomatoes" I was looking for it drunk and ripped my room apart. Came to and s#@! wuz everywhere, while cleaning up I found it. Fast Freddie on the cover. Sick footie great vid...Find Fred and get yourz. Street Missile.

Rick thanx for scaring me! Damn hair on my neck is standing up. Dubois, there ya go, get healed up fast. So Rist is faster but Brasile is Gnarlier?
Ian, I did pull out another video for the kids last week. I have the DC Downhill video from the Zoo. Let's see...Chaput won after one false start. You, JimZ, Jody, Joe Degenero(sp)(BIG UPS!), Dupin, Smallwood, High...oh Bob Swartz was the official. So Dupin was goin to send you a Migration deck for winning the caption contest...I'll check with Doug.
Va Beach...wow been some time. Use to get off werk from the radio station at 6 am and then sk8 the boardwalk hitting all the free continental breakfasts at the oceanfront hotels. Times were pretty crazy then...Good luck with bar and howdy to the folks back there K. Maybe I'll sk8 in for a beer someday.
Colorado is almost over, least up here. I'm hoping the snow holds off til Sunday, I was gonna try to hit Cottonwood again?
I gotta go read Rick's posts again, thanx for the riders perspective Rick. Oh yeh the DC DC was the year before when Smallwood put us up in the hotel with Reed.

I love that you have a 'forum' now. So easy to keep up ;) Glad to read of your adventures my friend. It always makes me smile. News in VAB is I am now a partner in a bar at the oceanfront with one of the old block bartenders and a skimboard freek that smokes amazing meat, among other things. The place is called The South End Pub. It's attached to the old skool VB Seafood Company, so we have the killer crabs, oysters and such as well as "smokkin' Butts BBQ'. The place is a total 'joint'-building from the 1930's, very old dark and cruddy cool, I like to think. Anyway, yesterday, the stairway to restaurant heaven opens up, and guess who walks in like a vision from on high? LOCKHART!!!!!! I have been blessed that one of the archangel rockstar bartenders is now slinging the only legal recreational drug in America at my joint. He's putting things to rights for me at that dirty old betty of a bar. I freekin' LOVE him. One of the world's coolest men. Your boy Dale hooked us up wiith pickle buckets and key chains, which is so sweet :) Are you back in the kitchen again this season? Lock and I will raise one to you, bro, and send the irie psychic restaurant vibes to you across the miles. Aloha, XO

Sorry I missed your call rob. I was out in the country swimming in water falls. I tried to call you back, but I think I have an old number of yours or something. Call me again or shoot your # to me in an email. Sounds like you had a lot fo fun riding the passes.

Aloha Buddy
