Penis Power
On 6/9/2009 me wrote in from United States  (67.174.nnn.nnn)

Justin, You know I love Bill Hicks and large black women talking about thier va j j's is alright by me BUT...Bill was and is still a pioneer and I feel too small and very dirty for pulling his clip. Anyone who is not familiar with Bill Hicks please go out and find Arizona Bay, Dangerous or Relentless and anything with his name on it and memorize it.

Bill is missed everyday. The Penis Power clip I would have left up but it was apackage deal. I can only imagine Dubois surfing while inhaling a sharpie. I have only ever pulled 2 posts, MF Callahan and DT. Those clips don't offend me as much as guys who wear thier collars turned up. Everybody has something that makes em cringe.

I just know that anytime you try to type profanity on this site it is edited so I had to take action.
Where do we skate this weekend?

blowing our cover
On 6/7/2009 McKendry wrote in from United States  (67.174.nnn.nnn)

So I had this post up here that mentioned where we were riding and photos of who was there and about helicopters chasing us. I wonder if the chopper pilot narct us out and the state trooper was onto us but at the wrong hill? I'm really stoked to have ridden with you guys this weekend and the 2 Passes we road were amazing. Cottonwood has so many cool aspects. I think it has the best parts of all your favourite hills on one beautiful hill. And Hoosier is just nuts! Hairpins that tighten while your in em. So no cool photos of who was there and who was fast and who crashed. Nine riders, the most speedboarders I've ever ridden with in Rado. All but 2 of us crashed and everybody went home with a smile that hurt. Instead of the DH photos here's some pix of a cougar that attacked a bighorn. The two fell to there death. You can still see the fur in the cats mouth.





Skate stories to come but now we have to protect the hills and the riders confidentiallity.

Don't come to Rado!
On 5/31/2009 McKendry wrote in from United States  (67.176.nnn.nnn)


I couldn't decide where to go today...Lookout? Loveland, Hoosier, Moneument? Really stoked on Cottonwood Pass. I got down to Buena Vista about 10 AM and got 2 runs in before it started to snain. (snow/rain) I went and had a burger at K’s just in town and decided I had driven this far and could see some blue sky so I drove back to the base. The sun and Rado dry air had the road ready in minutes. I got another 6 trips up the Pass and just had a blast. There’s still some snow up top and lots of wildlife. I don’t think many people realize Cottonwood is open cuz traffic was slow. I’m still trying to figure out how many times I drove by this Pass on the way to New Mexico and never new it was there.

The Bighorn Sheep are a sign that there is a Devil. If you said Unicorns were real I would believe that before I would believe there’s this goat with huge fangs that wrap around it’s head out the top. These things are huge and don’t feel like getting outta your way when your bombing hills. Colorado Road Goats, and don’t think for a second one of these things wouldn't relish in the chance of gouging out your eyes with it’s fang.

Oh and I got one of those rides to nowhere. I'm hitching this road out there by myself and this guy pulls over, I get in and tell him I goin to the top. This guy was parking about half a mile and left me in a blind uphill corner. I had to ride back down to where he picked me up. And why do people put there hands up in that I would if I could gesture when they’re in an empty car. It’s always fun to catch a ride then get to the top and see the people there who didn’t pick you up. I like to get outta the car and excessively thank my ride and loudly announce how much cooler they are then the rest of the peeps in the parking lot. Just a fun day in Rado. The SkunTech Project One has been rad and testing it has given me a new vision for DH racing. I would like to see this board under Kibbling or King Brian's feet. I notice the wieght or lack of wieght (my complete is just a lil heavier than my trucks and wheels) when footbreaking most. You don't have this heavy pull into the corners and slowing down is easy and fast. Watching Hugh and Brian ride Lookout without putting down a hand or foot makes me wanna see just how a board made to perform functions under a talented rider. SkunkTech is based outta Camarillo just north of Malibu so plan on seeing one of the canyon young guns to be on board.

That one has been on the radar and we had a recon team but didn't make it. We got stock playing on Cottonwood Pass. I'm hoping to get together with Jim Mfn Callahan and the rest of the crew for a pre hill hunters trip. Stay tuned...

Road Tripp'n
On 5/20/2009 McKendry wrote in from United States  (67.176.nnn.nnn)

What a wild Spring. I didn't get to really take this all in yet. I was able to travel to New York and solidify plans for the Next Adventure (more on that later). Then to LA, Tuscon, Albequerque and back to RADO. I'm kinda happy to get to work and at least be able to eat. I know I say that now but when the job gets crazy and work becomes work again, I will be able to look back on so many goodtimes and just smile and let it slide.

I've been on Loveland this week heaps. How rad to go snowboarding for a couple runs then got to the car switch boards and then bomb the Pass to the ski area. I got to chill in the parking lot with friends and ride boards (snow and skate)what could be better?
Hill hunting in Rado is still going on. I'm finding and riding new stuff all the time and hope to keep bombing new thrilling hills with the rest of you.
May you never travel faster than your angels can fly.
