Trash talk
On 11/1/2006 isabelle wrote in from United States  (209.66.nnn.nnn)

speaking of......that post to breamo on silverfishlongboarding was WAY out of line. venting private business matters in a public forum is trashy AND did you speak to sergio before posting pubically? i think he'd be offended/embarrased too.
i've also stepped in s#@! many times.........now, i try to walk-the-walk then do the-talk.

SLIDE FEST IS ON!!!!!

Saturday in Oceanside
On 10/30/2006 Tushar wrote in from United States  (68.4.nnn.nnn)

Cliff,

Looking forward to seeing you and your all stars this Saturday at Lorretta. I will do my best on the hill and smile all the way down.

Learning your namesake slide from you last June has made skating fun again for me.

Thanks, Tushar

SlideFest
On 10/30/2006 Cliff Coleman wrote in from United States  (69.181.nnn.nnn)

I'm really looking to have a great time at this years SlideFest! I wish all of the great Brazilians could be here also. they are something to see for sure!!! I brought Mark Short here from the UK to be able to introduce him to the rest of the slide family. He and I are talking with Tony at the moment and then might flirt with the ladies at the corner coffee shop. Not Mark however, he's happily married. Some things I just have to do by myself. Mark was here before earlier this year with others from the Faltown Mob. He will have a few days to get over jet lag and then on Thursday we fly to San Diego. The talent from all over coming to this event will make it a memory that I will cherish.

Good Luck to each and every one of you this weekend!

Mark and I need to get some skating in here in the wonderfull Hills of Berkeley, CA.

More later,
Cliff Coleman

Trash talk
On 10/26/2006 Cliff Coleman wrote in from United States  (69.181.nnn.nnn)

This is a reminder for all of us to look in the mirror. It is not necessary to talk trash about peoples attitudes here at NCDSA. Please save it for personal e-mail. Sometimes what many think is going on in the industry is just not the case. People get upset. Remember, the only one we can control is the one in the mirror.

Thanks,
Cliff

Attitude
On 10/25/2006 F wrote in from Canada  (70.48.nnn.nnn)

Can you explain me what is the problem with the big heads like Will J bashing everybody who has not his level?

Will, i have the cassettes from when we where in SD last year, i can tell you something...you did got better, but your attitude got way down man. So down it stinks and kills your skills.

Beeing proud should not be beeing a big head. Start by respecting the poeple around you...

Whatever if your from the hood or the bayou, you still are the biggest deception of 2006 for me and all my fellow brothers from up here in Montreal.

No worry Cliff, you deserve our props mate!

S.L.O. Slide Clinic/Festival
On 10/25/2006 Cliff Coleman wrote in from United States  (69.181.nnn.nnn)

The Slide clinic itself was small, a small number of students. There were more sliders who already had SKILLS and for them we had an impromptu contest. Only one run to level the playing fielod a bit. With that kind of pressure, you had to be on when it counts. Some of the great sliders there couldn't complete their one run and dropped out of contention. Will Jay of Gravity won, 2nd was Eric Tokle and third was a new comer and young guy. His name is Dylan Foley. Will Jay took home the $100.00 and others recieved schwag.

Fitz,

The knee pads you describe are made by "Tracker Brazil". Not the same company as the original here in the States. They are Sergio model pads and he will be at this year's "Slide Fest", 11-04-06. If you make it there, ask him about the pads.

rain slides
On 10/7/2006 Tim wrote in from (71.214.nnn.nnn)

when i first started riding in the rain, i was slamming on my ass because my board was sliding out from under me. now the falls on the rain seem even more safe than the ones without a wet slick ground. i mean when it rains i actually complete about 2/5 slides that i attempt, but when i fall, it seems that im just sliding on the ground and it dosent hurt at all. and also when it rains i never get any road rash. totally not the same on dry ground. even though you fall more in the rain, is it possible that the rain is even safer than dry ground?
