Rob, Cant wait till you come out for Barret. Bring your snowboard, we will do a night session locally. I went last night and it was epic. We got 2 feet of the fresh stuff over night and thats pretty f#@!ing good for LA mountains!!!!!!! The dump was SICK. Super hard racing. Somehow I managed to beat everyone in sunglasses, an open face helmet, Indys and 10 plus year old cherry bombs!!! DE-EVOLUTION MAN!!!!!!
with love,
Mercado

So lots of snow here and not much sun, I think it's getting to me. It's been way cold as well so getting out to ride the last couple days didn't happen. And the Holidays just mess everything up! I'm so broke and have to tell you all don't expect much this year. I wish I could buy you all new leathers or load your stockings with bearing lube but times are hard. I was gonna try and piss and moan about how I can't afford presents or pay bills but things are tuff all over. I don't have other mouths to feed or kids to try keep happy during the Holiday. I'm not far from my family fighting to not get shot or blown up. I guess my broken down car and piling bills or crappy apartment will be ok. I just wanted to kick these blahs and friggin get on with it!!!
The Garmin Forerunner is so RAD for snowboarding. You can utilize more of the info and it's mind bottling how fast you can go with no chatter. Hope to see some of you cats out here to shred, we got snow.
Dupin, I'm coming to crash in the museum during the inauguration and we gotta get IanC of Montreal that Migration Longboard. Sorry I missed the Dump and still haven't seen the results, I know Muffins won and that's all that matters. I'm still gonna try and make Barrett and DC's Birthday Carnival of Destruction. I was so fortunate to skate big fast roads all over the World with you people this year and that makes me rich. gone rid'n

IF you're going SLOWboarding you're doin it all wrong mCkenDRy.
I'm watching NOAA and it's dumping in CO. I just finished senior f#@!in year and am flying back in 3 days. Let's go riding tuesday?
If ripping tree glades at 50 mph isn't snowboarding, i don't know what is. See ya on tha slopes old man.

So check this out...I moved my computer 8ft into the hallway and found the internet!!! I'm hooked up again. This is way better than goin to that lame coffee shop down the road. It's darn cold out there too. I like too ride my bicycle in the winter round town. I've got a "claw" for a front tire and ride to the chairlift but it's to cold.
I got the first prototype trucks from Skunkwerx and drove west bout 30 minutes to a parking lot without snow. I'm not suppose to say much but I tested them they work and they look very space age. I hope to get permission to show them but my time was brief before having to send them back for further testing.
It's time to start slowboarding but the bones aren't ready yet. I would have liked to have gotten out there for the Dump this weekend to warm up a bit. I gotta start thinking bout shredding for the next four months. I hope to get out to Barrett and Kludy's race next month.

Yeh it's dumpin up here. Vail is the biggest ski resort in America and we have fluffy pow with the most runs open in the World. huh huh...I'm stoked the Cali series lives on. What a cool bunch of Outlaws to put on these outlaws events and let us Rado kids get warm and take home trophies!
Dubois, I still have no recon on the state of GJ, I should give Tyler a call. I werk this weekend and have started to pick up more shifts so I'm not done til say the 20th? Cheech and Chong are playing Denver that night. Are you driving out to the Dump?
Huey, One of the best Bobber's ever happens to live in Portland and I know he has a pretty trick Bob in his garage. He also has some hardware in his leg. Look into taking one up to Hood.
I hope to get out there for ASR and Barrett Junction and Flindt you better get down to Rick's that weekend to help me drink all his beer.

Little angry tiny Tim, don’t get your skirt all in a twist. I cant speak for Rob, but I have been to California, two words, Arnold Schwarzenegger, can you say “bail Out.” Isn’t it really about “just getting along” and a little thing we like to call gravity? Peace Brother

forecast looks better in Junktown this weekend. thinking about headin out there.
don't mothball those skateboards just yet!
I get to pretend to be Zak's mentor so he can get school credit or somthing. GOD that makes me feel old.
I think he called me cause Im the most responsible "old guy" he knows. I think thats good...hmmm.
we dont have s#@! for snow over here, as usual, but they sand the roads just the same.
We do have ONE amazing hill that never gets any sand, just magclor, If you get the urge to come east,jah will provide.
Call me if you wanna hit up the Monument saturday or somthing....

Pryo Pucks are Scary!

Pyro Pucks are made for scaring the general public as well as the guy next to you in that sick right hander. He'll give you some room if he's wearing cotton or lycra, leather isn't as flamable. We toyed with calling them "Prescribed Burn" pucks but Brunson wouldn't approve because he said that if someone accidentally lit up the hills of Bonelli or Maryhill they could blame us. This way we can just say that the culprit is obviously a Pyro Maniac for buying this product in the first place. How's the new fireproof Kevlar thumb holding up?

Huey thanx for the shot and fun to see you on the butt board. You would be stoked to Swiss Bob Vail.
I'm trying to get my buddy out the door to go shred some pow, we've been getting dumped on the last couple days. The night time activities won't begin for 2-3 weeks and I would suggest to you all...Swiss Bob big mountains before you can't.
Price you and Brunson get up here anytime for Bobs and beers. Those sparky gloves the what are the called again, fire pucks, sparkies? I know TSR has a better name, forgot it, but I took those out with a Street Swell Daisy Cutter and scared lots of people including myself.
The Daisy Cutter is 6ft 2 or so and has Original trucks with 97mm Flywheels. Huge board with no wheel bite kinda like a Hamm Board but pretty wood. I think there's one in that CW calendar but we don't get those fancy magazines up here in the mountains. And those sparky gloves fireslides or whatever...BitchN!
Gotta get on the bus, Nick see ya up here...

Hit me up with another e-mail or call about that business, i'll be somewhere rad next summer, probably LA, so that means lots of races. I'm glad to see the CO scene blow up so huge!!! I'm more glad that you're here to enjoy it, rob.

Hey Rob -
I always enjoy reading your posts on here. Saw you mentioned me in the last post and figured it was only polite to drop you a line and see how everything's going. Sounds like the 'RADo is starting to get snowed on. We've had a pretty mild winter so far here in Vancouver: a bit of rain, no snow and some sunny days here and there. Been trying to get out and slash the local hills as often as I can, school has been taking up most of my time unfortunately. Hope all is well, let's skate soon EH!
Take it e z

So I had to come to this coffee house to go on line and this sux! It's like Friends in here and eeeerbody is hanging out on couches talking about stupid, stupid things. I'm sure there's some sorta coffee shop etiquitte were I shouldn't be sitting in this high chair so I can check out this chick. I was sitting here to get a better view but not of her screen. I had it to good for too long poaching the net off my old nieghbors but somebody died and they moved and took my intraweb. This place somehow reminds me of those very bad nights of doing bad things to my brain with bad substances. I would never go back to those days and I'm glad I survived. This coffee shop has that been up for days talking to people you don't know about things you know nothing about...feeling. I to have a cool looking computer so maybe they will accept me into there sad caffiene culture, the band Morphine is starting to sound better and better. Yeh so I just came here to update this page and show off my new laptop. Street Swell longboards kicked this computer my way and I can't say thanx enough for this thing. I shoulda turned down they volume before i started watching porn.
Ian, I will get in touch with the guys at the Migration Longboard factory and find out about the deck, the blow up doll isn't smiling anymore.
Beaver Creek and Vail are open for snow sliding and it's time to switch boards, if ya'll wanna come check out the snow. I will also be heading to Grand Junction maybe this week if any Rado kids wanna go.
Dubes #1 Qualifier at Bonelli and Zak winning it was way RAD! I've never been to an event that had so many Colorado riders, then add they're performance, it's bout time.
I was really luck to skate so many hills this year and witness some amazing skaters bomb big s#@!. The days in Malibu with Krimes, Mercado, Peck, Kelly, Louis P, and a few others who owned that road was just bitchn to watch. Thanx to all yeh Cali kids for directions and beers and wheels and smiles.
I've now kicked out my wheel on the start. I didn't walk the hill like I should (usually with Paul Busse or Rick) have to find the finish for my quali run. You can't take this sport lightly for a moment cause all these new kids are serious. I was just hanging out for this one and it cost me by eating s#@! and taking out Raggie.
Enjoy the turkey and your friends and family. Stay healthy and raise a glass for the ones who aren't at the table this year. miss my sk8 friends, see you for leftovers.

I'm out the door a t a bro's house to go ride. I havn't seen a computer in days and that is good. I'm sorry I can't recap in this short time but Cali was rad and Rado represented. Way to go Co riders! I'm mean way cool to be part of the Rado scene, we have not only a scene now but one of and some of the best riders in the World. Danny thank you for the wheels and you saved me I've been unemployed for weeks and can't race with 3. Come to find out I should learn how to kick my old wheels before riding freshies. I'm very sorry I took out Raggie. I've never kicked out my wheels on the start and won't forget hearing somebody shout "what are you doin Rob" as I ate the pavement. I gotta go shred and sorry Raggie. Great too see eeerbody and reallly mean it. BTK thanx for the loan on the World's Greatest Burger. At least we got our poor performance outta the way. Lot's I would like to talk about but peeps are waiting. thanx for all the help getting round the fires. Rick see ya soon. DT got me to GMR. Louis thanx. gotta go horns honking Huey on the buttboard! Flindt your really fast. stop hoinkig i'm out!!1 miss ya'll
