Been posting on SilverfishLongboarding for a while, after I got bit by the board fever here..again. I 'll spare you the story, but I will be really glad to hook up with some of you guys and learn by watching, and maybe enjoy a suggestion or two when it comes. I've been climbing for 20some years(snowboard for 5) so I know what a learning curve is in sport, loving every step of it skateboarding, still is somewhat confusing learning alone. Was supposed to meet with Hung Chang last weekend at SJose RSP, been there 6 hours sat and 2 sunday...legs are gone..lol Drop me a line if you have time! shadow9 on silverfish or at paolomil-at-hotmail-dot-com
Take care!

Anyone know when the official "soft opening" of the new Potrero Del Sol skatepark in SF is happening? I've heard that at least 100 skaters per weekend are barging it, but I'm too old and sensible to risk the trespassing arrest!

The BBQ kept going all day as Tony Trujillo, Busenitz, Speyer, the Body, and others heated up the skate park (after some locals like me warmed it up for them). Click for video on Thrasher.

It was good to finally meet you in person, Cat! Likewise for Eric. Nice to catch up a bit with Bruce Brewington after way too long, too.
That portion of JFK sure has some butter-smooth pavement! Makes we wonder why we spent so much time on Conservatory Dr over the years.

I need heads to help me get the word out about a skate competition I want to launch every month in SF. The basic idea is to build upon our membership and help attract more people to our live music events. I want to create a competition and hand out $100 or more depending on the success of drawing more people into our events. The basic competition involves two basic tricks.... 360's and Alie (SP) anyway I need at least ten contestants to get it launced and each contestant is asked to become a member of the union @ $10, but it gets you into 4 shows free and also 1/2 off for a year after that. $100. is first first. You only pay once to enter the competition, later you won't need to pay to enter....you can win cash prizes and other stuff as we build it up. Decent live music and nice fans to boot....see www.myspace.com/ripstar_sf Thanks for forwarding this opp and reply to bandsthatrock@gmail.com if your down for it. Location 2700 16th St. SF./ Harrison April 12th 8 P.M. contest @ 10 P.M.

pier 3.5

(from the chronicle)
San Mateo's Pier 3.5 Skatepark
San Mateo's Pier 3.5 Skatepark is a replica of San Francisco's legendary Pier 7, a now-defunct street spot along the city's Embarcadero. Rumor has it that park designer and skateboarder Jason Crouch even went to Pier 7 with a measuring tape to make sure he got accurate specs. The park features a handful of fun ledges, manual pads and small rails to skate. Minus the bay backdrop and seagulls, you actually kind of feel like you're skating at Pier 7. If technical street skating is your thing, check out this park. However, if you're looking to get gnarl on some transition, you might want to consider hitting up the Menlo Park or Pacifica skateparks instead. Open daily from dawn until dusk. 950 Ocean View Ave., San Mateo. Don't forget your helmet and pads! Skaters caught without safety equipment are subject to a citation.
