hey Cliff

Hey Cliff...

I just got in from Calgary and man it was one heck of a race and even better party. The race course was first class formula one. This is your rally call for you to put the Paskapoo DH race on your list for next year. I'm thinking about the rock creek race in oregon and Sandia to round out the season but i still would like to visit you in the bay area. Just checking in and making sure your still keeping it wheel side down. Miss you man.

Cheers Cliff
Daniel Farmery

Mark,

Good to here from you. I skate everyday. Any time you can make a trip to my area, let me know. I will be here to ride with if you make the trip. Same for HC. You will have to contact me via my e-mail. I'm moving again and don't have phone access yet.

As far as a trip to the South Bay, if I could get a ride with HC or another skater from my area then I could do it.

F,

The post you don't understand is from a guy in Oregon. He has made some interesting posts about a "Gravitational Stop". If you wish to review prior posts, then you will have to search for them.

Tips for Stevan Hemingway
On 8/29/2006 Cliff Coleman wrote in from United States  (67.161.nnn.nnn)

Stevan,

This is related to your posts regarding "Gravitational Stops". Put some video on the net! Talk is cheap, put up or you know.

For a chance to show all of the great sliders what you can do, come to the Gravity Slide Fest on November 4th in San Diego. We don't want to hear about it anymore, we want to see it.

more plastic
On 8/16/2006 sully wrote in from United States  (67.155.nnn.nnn)

Nez,
I was reciently on a motorcycle shop that was race-oriented and they had killer pucks with leather & velcro tabs attached for the drag areas of your leathers when you lean over your bike. I don't know how good the plastic was on them but they looked like they would be easy to build a set of gloves with. Just an idea.

This is the stuff you want:

Nez,
McMaster Carr has the best selection, get the ultra-high density stuff it lasts a long time. Someone on the board may have more details & specs.

Here is some good Cliff-hype

Cliff Clinic
On 8/15/2006 Derik wrote in from Germany  (193.7.nnn.nnn)

Thanks Cliff,

I will check the interest here. Hamburg has a lack of longboarders and especially sliders. But in two weeks we will have the killhill race and hopefully I can gain interest when showing up with my slideboard. Until then I will practice to be more a slider than a monkey.

Best regards

Derik

Derik,

I travel when the money from Slide School/Festival Event entrants cover the flight costs. If you have enough interest to cover these said costs, then I would be more than happy to make an appearance in Germany. I visited there in 2,000 and had a great time!

Hello Danny,

Thanks for passing along the hello from your dad. I'm sorry about your ankle. I saw Noah Sakamoto last night. Sector should send him to race some downhill. He is fit and ready. Please tell Budro thanks for the wheels! Remember, you should make a trip to Berkeley to skate the hills here. Maybe a Sector road trip?

Stay in touch,
Cliff Coleman
