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.

AFTER TRYING TO MAKE THAT LEFT STAND-UP AND ALMOST HITTING THE HAY COMING OUT OF IT WITH NO TIME TO MOVE MY FEET JUST WHENT FAST, FAST IN JUST A FEW FEET.
THE ROAD IS NOT BUTTER, ( AT ALL ) AND IN THE FLAT.
RIGHT WHEN I WAS THINK YES, STAYING ON MY BOARD A NUTS RAISE IN THE BOARD THAT IS SO SMALL THAT YOU JUST CANT SEE IT AND AT 65 MPH YOU CAN FLY !!!!!!!1
AFTER THAT AND STILL ON MY BOARD, ( NEVER TUCKING IT ) JUST HOLDING ON , hA !
I WAS AT THE END IN THE FLATS AND CROSSED THE ROAD AT MAYBE HIGH 60 MPH AND ALMOST CAME OFF MY BOARD.
lIKE I SAY DONT LOOK AT THE SURFACE, JUST RIDE THE SHT OUT OF IT .
BY THEN I AM DONE, BUT THE SHUT DOWN CAME UP FAST AND STILL HAD TO STOP MY BOARD.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
AND THAT WAS MY VERY FIRST REAL VACATION.

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

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.
