Steven Picciolo fund!
On 10/30/2008 Cliff Coleman wrote in from United States  (24.180.nnn.nnn)

Skate History's Steven Picciolo, winner of the 1975 Del Mar freestyle has passed away. He has three surviving kids and they need help in just 9 days, to pay the necessary fees, approximately ($900.00). They just want to have a little closure by giving their Father his wishes by spreading his ashes as directed.

Please, as my friends and skate family, send what you can to help this family out.

Sincerely,
Cliff Coleman

Hello TK,

I'm sorry it takes me so long to reply! I only access the internet at the local internet cafe.

To get me to Utah would require a plane ticket, a negotiated fee for the event, reasonable, and a place to stay. I enjoy staying at skater's homes and getting to really know the people I skate with. This way, I learn who's doing what in the sport in all of the areas I visit.

Send me an e-mail to communicate further. Cliff at: "sk8fast@gmail.com"

Sincerely,
Cliff Coleman

Good luck to you guys at Teutonia! Win it again Kevin, you can! I'll be there in 09. Just flat broke at the moment. Say hello to Yuppie's family and my other friends! Sergio should be flying to the States any day. I'll be hanging with him for part of his stay.

Later, Cliff

Kevin, say hello to the girls at the "Padaria", no (n) in the word. Ha. Ha.
K-rimes is awesome speaking Portugese! Fast and smart!

Toby/Sweden
On 10/18/2008 Cliff Coleman wrote in from United States  (70.239.nnn.nnn)

Toby,

When I think of the nice places and people I have met, Sweden is one of the many places that I think of. Say hello to Frida, Torbian, (sp?), his family and all of the skaters. Watching Salmon swim up the falls and picking blueberries and raspberries was great. Skating in the downhill was small but very competitive. The boat ride, the feast of fish, salads and beverages was so cool. As you get ready for this winter, think about next year, 11-22-09. I'll be 60 and everyone is invited to come and skate the Berkeley Hills where I first skated in 1960.

Cliff,

Thank you very much for all of your help this past weekend. All of the young riders were really excited to skate with you. You are welcome back to our home anytime you are in Calgary. Hopefully we will be seeing you next summer for Paskapoo.

Also, I forgot to give back those letters and the article after the clinic. E-mail me your address and I will send them right away!!

Cheers, Aaron

Brasil

Cliff,

I'm heading down to Brasil again on the 13th of October, and I'm bummed to hear you won't be able to make it down this time around. I've been saving my money and trying to go to as many places around the world as possible and they've all been super rad.

I'll take a walk to the Panderia for you and say hello to Maria and the locals.

Hope life's good in the bay.

Alex,

Say hello to my friends in the UK please. Regarding vendors advertising on any page other than the "Vendor's" page, it is against site rules.

Next year would be a good time to do another tour of the UK! I would still like to bring both Sergio and Mikima. We would need to charge about 100 pounds per festival, each being two days. We could have the traditional Pub visits and barbeques etc. Send me an e-mail if you would like to start working on something like this.

Y0 Cliff!

Good chewing the cud with you at JM's. It was also great to see you skating your heart out!

So, this picture should show you how sexy you look :)



While the race in Hood was going down, I attended the annual Muir Skateboard Jam. Lots a sliding freaks there. Your name is mentioned like sliced butter... "coleman slide this, coleman slide that!". Really enjoyed your company both on and off the track.

Keep smiling brother!

Kevin,

First of all, Congrats on the win at Danger Bay! The teeth are done and feeling great. The trip to Brazil, what can I say that you don't already know? It was about the same weather and the locals asked about you. I am having money deducted from my paychecks to pay for the dental bill. It isn't much. My phone doesn't connect to Canada. Call me at: 510-395-6792.

Skating with JM and Cluggish tomorrow. I sure missed Danger Bay!
