Thanks for the invite bro but I think by November it will be hard to travel due to the new travel sanctions put on everyone to stay put. :) things may get crazy. but if not, we'll consider blasting up there!
time to think about going long periods without things.
peace out :)

healing healing,getting stronger,rolling the bike even though the doc said to stick with a stationary bike. I last for about a cd's lenght then i get up off the exercise bike and go out and cruise for a few hours,low gears, low impact,lots of suspension, i don't think a little crash would slow me up now,knock on 7 ply. Recovery is probabely way ahead of schedule, next visit to the doc on oct 9,still on one crutch until then ,knee does get a little sore on walks around the supermarket and such,but it recovers pretty quick and feels stronger afterwards.

Rene!
whoa dude. you guys blew me away. and rene, for someone twice my age :) you kicked out some moves!
Lynnn and Richie doing those fast CLEAN times on a double curved course. it blows away most road tests but then, the best test is 100 people doing 100 cones in 100 hours on the 100th day of the year on a perfectly straight course on perfectly matched road surfaces on perfectly atmospheric and planetary gravitational ..... ..... for real times. the clock is one factor but as everyone knows, perfect conditions with good skaters will result in tenths and thousandths matchups.
so then it's the event that makes the *real* difference.
Lynn Kramer is an amazing person. Her love and devotion to downhill is infectious :) Seriously, she gets my conehead fever goin! And Richie's years of being on top of his board added to the mix. Making the same exact high-speed(20mph+)turn over and over again 100 times is the ultimate challenge for being symmetrically tuned to the turn. What next? the 200 cone challenge?
I need to prove to myself that I can get thru them too. I've gone around 50 clean on a good day but dammmmmnnnnnnn. not for the average human being.
and y0 Eric, killer timing system. simply genius! with the camera. and nice bike! fix the damn thing! :D

Y0 herb'n. i skated with those guys and showed them basically the same moves I've been doing on the flats. I don't have much downhill stuff other than racing but the parallel stance is what we were doin' in the 70's .
i guess i better get a video of my downhill antics which include the same moves. i prefer the flats. bigger market to get people to generate their own speed. going downhill is like a snowboard or ski run and you just cant wait to get back to the top. when skogging, hills are not a factor. self generated fall lines baby! do it up!

i was wondering ,have you looked up "whirling dirvish" on u tube? hirtn(i shouldve thought of that:) it's the first video that's made me feel like walking around on my skateboard,as soon as i can,i kind of get it ,it's actually sort of a tutorial,it starts with a parallel stance then a parallel near the back truck,hopping front to back then cross stepping, then putting it all together.

Court and the accused skogger ' PUBLIC DISTURBANCE'

Hey kitty, first congrats on your world tour to see how you match up against all planetarians!!! Nice job. You have to be the most improved racer I've seen in the ages. And you keep getting better! You Go Girl!
so i got off on a lesser charge because I had no priors and the judge's review of the case as far as he could see regardless of the cops behavior was that I was a public disurbance so ....500 BUCKS later I'm a freee man!
dealing with the police state antics where there's zero tolerance due to a very heavily populated system where just too many people squeezing thru due process. from my point of view, justice is being served by status quo without regards to the real issue. 4 overzealous cops coercing lies to make up for their stupidity and ignorance to the reality of the situation.
i would love to take each one of those cops on and put the same hurt they put on me. they deserve it but thanks to the police state authoritative process, these idiots will go on to their next blunder and hopefully their arrogance will cause the universe to return the negativity putting them in their lowly place.

Damn. That's some earned injury!
Hope you feel your way out of it. Skogging can make your recovery time more enjoyable. :)
Godspeed your body back to a manageable level of both pain and finesse!

i dh mountainbike, and i was having a angry kind of day, a number of things at this one mountain generelly piss me off,but i was jonsing to get out. Well there's a fairly big tabletop jump that i can go really big on ,and i throw a pretty good whip(sort of table top nose dive) well i tweaked it a bit to far and my right foot came off. So when i landed,i landed on the wheels and a foot plant most of the way down the landing ramp from maybe 16 feet up,,ouch ouch ouch, well the lucky part is it's only a bit of a hairline fracture and the cat scan showed not a whole lot of surface damage to the sliding areas of the knee. So it's no surgury's or reconstructions,nothing fancy,just time in a cast and then rehab,stretching and exercise.

Good luck in court Chris. If you get community service, see if you can work with unwed mothers, that's pretty cool.

Flatlining the Mental Imagery

Hey Herbn, broke your tibia? How?
Anyways, switching it up from one leg push to the other, mixed with switch pumps and switch stance carves you can't help get your center of existence craving to heal.
Flatlining thoughts was what I was after. I try to turn everything off(reduce thinking processes) when I skog long distances. My masters have told me that my penchant for working on too many things at once needs to cool it. When I skog long distances, I am able to concentrate on singularity items of concern. The beauty after I address these items, I get to point where there's nothing else to think about other than the mechanics of my movement. When that happens, I feel like flying! To me that's flatlining thoughts and that is what I choose to find my center.
Hope your tibia heals!

do you actually get your heart rate to go down while active?(like runners?) never heard that one, i can understand a raised endorphrine level from an extended elevated heart rate but,do you use a heart rate monitor while skating or do you just go by feeling? by the way i just broke my right tibia a couple of weeks ago nothing fancy ,no retached,no screws or plates,just a very painful hairline fracture. The skog will be part of my recovery process.
