Drove past the Park and Ride yesterday and the thought of skating crossed my mind. I work near a really sweet hill we used to skate back in the 70's. I skated it with Wes E. a week or so before Lacosta 2001. I set my quicksilver woody up for my son to cruise around campus down in Florida while he wa...

Michel Temoche

Did this happen? Last saturday as I was heading to DC I saw a group of guys at the top of the hill at Sherril drive. Got me interested in checking out this forum.

Michel Temoche

I was there, must've drank a case of Red Bull. Chaput won the race in '02 with a perfectly executed "Criddle". I just posted an Album on FaceBook with pictures. Find me under Abelardo Michel Temoche.

Sunny cool windy still wet but drying. PA Dan is here.

Michel Temoche

Tryig to type and drive at the same time. Update from p n r in about 20 mins.

Michel Temoche

It's wet here right now at 8:30 am. Could dry in a couple of hours. See my other post.

Michel Temoche

Right now the pavement is wet in G'burg a little snow on the grass. Could dry up in a few hours.

Here's what the Washington Post says.

A little accumulation of snow early this morning; otherwise, breezy and cold with clouds breaking

Michel Temoche

Tues sounds like a plan. Should be great weather. Maybe we could get some of the DCDC guys out Anthony, Doug and company. I'm at F and North Capitol NW. Where do you want to meet?

Michel Temoche

Hey Zach. I work on the Hill and I slalom. I start work at 11:00 am on M W F. I take the Marc train in to Union Station on those days and have some time to kill before work. Sometimes I go to the gym to kill the time. I'd be up for some skating on those mornings. I get out at 5 on T TH, with the tim...

Michel Temoche

Hey, I've been reading your posts at least :) It's soccer referee season for me. I can stop by around 3:30pm on Sunday. I started skating around my work a few days a week this week. I bring my board on MWF, ride down to the gym, work out for about an hour and ride back to the office. Today I even sk...

Michel Temoche

I'm still alive and well in Gaithersburg. My daughter started college and my son is going in to 11th grade. I just started a new job a couple of months ago doing IT for a newspaper on capitol hill. I've been refereeing soccer on weekends and sometimes during the week. The day of the P&R race I was o...

Michel Temoche

Anthony when do you go ride this hill? I work a couple of blocks away. Might go check it out today.

Michel Temoche

I'll be on a camping trip. Last time I checked P&R still looks the same.
I started a new job downtown and drive down Sherril Drive a couple of times a week, that would make for an exciting slalom venue.

Michel Temoche

I'm awake now. Anybody up for a session? Who has the timer?

Michel Temoche

The starting timer had a short 4" tripod. Here it is http://www.browertiming.com/strength_co ... /index.htm. I have a couple of extra 40" tripods that I got when I bought the timer.

Michel Temoche

We're coming out, out of our closet, out on street ... I haven't skated much since my slam on 15th street. My hip is still a little swollen on that side. I did get up and make the course the next run, but I was in alot of pain that night. I started reffing soccer again after a long break this spring...

Michel Temoche

Anthony or Doug do you guys still have the movies online that you guys took there a few years ago? That place would be great for a killer GS or Super GS. Maybe some tight ass duals at the bottom of the hill. So is there a session there this Sunday?

Michel Temoche

http://homepage.mac.com/atemoche/Skateboard_Site/PhotoAlbum3.html I've never been busted at the spot on the bottom of the page. Didn't seem to bother the church people. There's also the spot we used prior to the race GBJ had at the P&R (DC Open I think)on Girard street in G'burg. They use the parki...

Michel Temoche

You can also catch Amtrack from 1501 N Charles St in Baltimore. Amtrak will have more trains and get you there faster than MARC. Marc is a commuter train, operates at rush hour. There is also a train station at BWI serviced by both Amtrack and Marc. There is a metro that goes to Gaithersburg that yo...

Michel Temoche

Professional drive one street north of P&R on the left there's a parking lot with a right hand turn at the top of the hill.

Michel Temoche

Thanks for the encouragement, Dan. If you get a chance, check out the parking lot at the top of Professional drive. From the P&R head east onto Quince Orchard and then North on 355 (Frederick Ave). Professional drive is around 4 lights up 355 and on the left. There's a 7-11 on the corner. Congratula...

Michel Temoche

I might step on a skate for the first time since Adam's Morgan Day tomorrow. Probably won't race though, aother fall would probably kill me and I still have a little bit of swelling. I know a couple of more challenging spots within a mile or so of P&R. I was saying P&R was practically flat a couple ...

Michel Temoche

Actually I think they're only 2 years old. Thanks for the offer Eric. I won't be able to take you up on it for a while.

Michel Temoche

Those wheels are only 3 years old. They are looking about as small as my 62 mm FibreStradas. Eric, you missed the race last week right?
Doc told me it could be a month before it's back to normal. I've gone from ice to heat now.

Michel Temoche

Thanks, Vlad, Wes, Slappy. I'll probably sit out this saturday.

Michel Temoche

It doesn't look a whole lot better today. The bruising has spread more and that whole leg is fatter than the other one. My folks are saying "Why don't you follow suggestions?" I said "Sure I follow suggestions, I followed the one that said, Go for it!" Next time, I'll try to get a practice run in, b...

Michel Temoche

I think I had the fastes slam. Crashed at the second cone on the GS. Here's what it looked like last night.

Michel Temoche

Just heard from the Kook. He's out in Huntington Beach, CA. He says "By hook or crook the Brower timer will be at the race." He also says he'll be kickin' in either Chaput or Ed Economies door while he's over there :smile:. The Brower I scored on EBay is won't work for duals. Duals would require a m...

Michel Temoche

This all sounds great. Promised the girlfriend I'd help with some soccer thing she's doing for Adam's Morgan Day but will try and get away and ride that hill. Anybody heard from Riordan? He's got the Brower timer. I'll be in Adam's Morgan Friday night wherever the meeting is.

Michel Temoche

I was thinking more single slalom than duals, possibly accomodating a narrow runout lane up 18th street, close to the curb away from the booths. I've been working saturdays, not much skating.

Michel Temoche

My girlfriend lives in Adam's Morgan and has been going to some of the meetings for Adam's Morgan Day. She hadn't mentioned California street. The message I left the Kook was about Wyoming. That street has also been repaved. The runout could be a turn up 18th street. Sorry I missed the last race, I'...

Michel Temoche

Jim,

You might be able to commuter train it from BWI all the way to downtown G'burg, at that time of day. You'll most likely have to change trains at union station in DC Check out your options when you land.

Michel Temoche

I'll be in OC all weekend. I can make it back around 3:00pm sunday to either P&R or Seneca.

Michel Temoche

Kook, could it be done on Beach Drive? Although it's mostly flat, and the surface is passable it's plenty wide and closed to cars on the weekend. What about using part of that Zoo access road that they used for the DC DC.

Michel Temoche

Nope, nobody here who skates or has knowledge of spots. I like Drumaldry Drive in Bethesda, MD, inside the beltway not that far from the city, smooth steep hill, little traffic, nice runoff. Where's the race this saturday? I'll probably be working.

Michel Temoche

Cabbage, Good luck to you. It's been great skatin' with/against you.

Michel Temoche · Matt, Twinbrook will work for me. 8:30 am on Saturday my cell 301-370-0934.

Matt,

Twinbrook will work for me. 8:30 am on Saturday my cell 301-370-0934.

Michel Temoche

Matt, I could meet you at Twinbrook or Shady Grove metro @ 8:30 am saturday.
I'm thinking of taking the day off friday and practicing out at F'head. Anybody interested?

Michel Temoche

I'm not saying to throw away the whiteboard. I'm saying to have a spreadsheet as well. I've got a ten year old laptop with a spresadshhet that I think would work without any glitches. I also sell modern laptops with long battery lives and all you need is a little spreadsheet knowledge to run a race....

Michel Temoche

Computers make it more complicated? Huh? Forget the spreadsheet keep the abacus! Computers will allow you to easily record and calculate results and standings, give you a backup of the stuff written by hand, so you can check for errors in tabulation and computation. If you need a computer contact me...

Michel Temoche

Hey I found the party! In response to LBK's post, how about a B-Class and a middle of the pack promotion relegation to determine which class the middle riders will race in. This way middle-aged middle of the pack guys could get more runs :smile:. Haven't skated since WV but I tested my timer and it'...
