Wow. I have to look back at some of these last posts and figure out where we left off. So K Rimes and Maytum have won just about everything since we last chatted. Stryker has a kid, WOW! Kludy's gonna be a grandpa, WOW! Wheels are still round. I just finished 4th overall in the Colorado Outlaw Series (well somebody has to mention it). Lookout Mountain is hitting big for all the CO locals. Gosh so much to tell but I will let you rest now NCDSA. I've missed you like clean socks. STOKED!

Hit my head hard ridn boardercross Sunday. I entered the open class instead of racing the other old guy. I didn't want race just one dude and I guess I learned I'm now the other old guy. Damn kids! Caught a heelside edge and used my helmet. SLight concussion thta brought back some old memories. Funny, for all the complaining we do in skateboard racing about delays for timing, qualifying and injuries at least it isn't 20 degrees outside when your racing skateboards.

Merry Christmas Rob! I'm in Montana and it's very cold and snowy. Not too agreeable for skating. Probably similar in New York. Hope your staying warm. Still wish they'd go back to the old ncdsa format :(

Thank you very much Billy. Those vids and the rest of your videos are so fun to watch and along with the music I can't help smiling. It's always hard to explain freeriding with friends and how fun it can be, your videos are as good as it gets. I going back to watch more. thank you Billy.

New York
On 9/29/2009 mckendry wrote in from (72.230.nnn.nnn)

I've started to venture into the New York countryside and found some pretty cool hills that may have never been ridden. Well from the looks on peoples faces it seems that way. Geneseo has a cool lil college with there own shuttle system and I scared a couple on day one. Ithica happens to be loaded with steep hills but there's all these college kids running around with there ideas and thinking and walking to class. I guess there's a freeride this weekend and hope to get back down there for some direction and beer pong and looting.

Big Wave Glacier Surfing!
On 9/24/2009 admin wrote in from (198.144.nnn.nnn)

Dang, that's some wild sheet! That water has got to be right around 32F. I suspect that if a larger-than-expected piece had come unglued that things would have become very serious in a hurry.

Big Wave Glacier Surfing!
On 9/24/2009 mckendry wrote in from (72.230.nnn.nnn)

Bo Bridges once lived in Vail, Colorado and I was stoked he came out to photograph me once speedboarding. Bo has moved on to great things and has been shooting action sports all over the planet. You owe it to yourself to check this out!!http://homepage.mac.com/ghydle/BoBridges/ from Bo...I just got back from one of the craziest, scariest, coolest photo shoots of my life. It is the first of its kind ever and hopefully the last. Basically giant pieces of ice would fall down from a 400 ft super active glacier (Child's Glacier) and create a tsunami wave. The surfers would wait for hours for one to fall and once that happened they would chase after it on their jetskis and try to catch it without getting killed by ice and rock debris. Check out a small sampling of images below as Garrett tows Kealii into a bomb. "I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I won't be going back. This is not a new sport." - Garrett McNamara after his trip to AK.

I've gotta get use to this first. I can still in 2009 just figure out how to check my mail and not "send all" porn. Mary was rad! Switzer won, but you new that. The temps are dropping fast as panties on prom night.About riding slalom boards and kicking butt on Mary??...The 3 guys I can think of who were rocking em, RIP on slalom set ups. Those guys train on those things and know just how to move em. I know Zak was able to hug the inside so hard he made the turn blush. Switzer's board from what I remember was pretty short also. Switzer also rocks a front foot hold. A slalom adaptation that resembles Skip Marcottes Pro Model from Subsonic.Gotta figure out how to post photos all over again. GO SKATE before it snows!

I'm still trying to figure this site out. I'm pretty computer stupid so it could be me but responding to posts has been a challenge. I don't want smilies, I want to answer questions and post photos. Is there something I missed? Adam, Can you splain things or is there a post I missed about these changes? :mrgreen:

PSwiss got a brand new FullBag
On 9/2/2009 joe i wrote in from (99.18.nnn.nnn)

Rob,

I've been watching Patrick's amazing progress across the EU this summer, not just because he's a friend of mine, but because of his new deck design. I think him and Zak started riding some giant slalom boards at Maryhill to hold a tighter line in the corners, tracking instead of sliding.

I wondered, based upon you comments of "knowing your roots" below, if you view this as a new departure or is it a return to an older style of board and way of racing?

AND

Wish I knew you were at Penn State, I could have set up a visit to Camp Woodward. Let me know if you go back next summer.

touch? push?
On 9/2/2009 boarder's mom wrote in from United States  (98.246.nnn.nnn)

Looked to me like he touched to let James know he was right there, but I think James lost his line without any push from Pat. You see Pat kind of put his hands up like "what the heck?" as he continues. Plus when they hugged afterwards James said he didn't think Pat pushed him.
Thank you so much for announcing for us, the town is raving about you! Yes the event is going to be bigger next year, look for the addition of a slide competition among other things.

There's gnarly (sip) footage of the final on pdxdownhill.com and I stand corrected. Maybe Patrick didn't even touch James. Gotta go look at it again.
