Hi Dave,
My sponsors Skullcandy have now decided not to fly me out until the Friday morning, so no Bicknell for me....I'm bummed! I was looking forward to hanging out with you guys and doing some high-speed TS in the Land of Legends.
Martin.

Martin Drayton

A very cool company, Skullcandy, are trying to arrange to fly me to San Diego for the ASR on the Thursday morning so that I can help on their stand (they are one of my sponsors). Once they confirm, I will try to find out if its feasible to get to Bicknell for the evening. Is there any chance that so...

Martin Drayton

Hi Maria,
I LOVED the 2004 edition, are there any plans in the pipeline for a 2005 version? My camerawoman got excited during the event and forgot to film some of my runs...

See you guys in Colorado!

Martin Drayton

I'm starting to feel nearer normal and need to test out some set-ups on a big hill, hell, I need to ride a big hill before next Friday! So I am on for Saturday at Logan. I will hook-up with Trish and arrange things, are you guys thinking morning, afternoon, middle of the day? I will try and get some...

Martin Drayton

Hi Bob, My plan is to skate on Thursday AND Saturday, but I don't know yet if its going to happen....There is a nasty bug going around here, like a week-long flu. Julie is in about the 5th day, so I've been off work looking after Maya. Unfortunately no work = no pay! Right now I'm not feeling too ho...

Martin Drayton

Notice how on the GOG forum he says how he REALLY likes Richie, mentions a foam Axe AND chooses him as a distributor....? Hmmmm.....

Martin Drayton

There weren't that many Americans there...so that narrows the field doesn't it?

Martin Drayton

Just rode my new GS/Slalom/Hybrid board... Its a Performance Series 3.2 with custom graphics courtesy of www.originalsnowboardart.com . http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/juliedrayton/Skate%20pics/DSC03012.jpg The first pic shows it with the new graphics and unmounted.

You'll have 8 hrs to "learn" about British humour and how "not-proper" it is....Ever heard of the Carry On films? Or Leslie Philips? Ding-Dong!

ps.Think I'm proper? You need to meet Sam Gordon, he makes the Queen sound common!

Martin Drayton

Hi Trish, Flights are way more now AND its gonna cost me too much in cross-city transfers (Sunday night)...So.....Do you have room for me in the Subaru? I have one of those hard Airline Golf bags for my boards we could stick on the roof... Let me know, could be an epic roadtrip... ;) Martin. ps.stil...

Martin Drayton

Just put some cash into my account so I can Paypal the entry fee and book my flights. I will aim for an evening arrival Trish and let you know when I've booked.
UPC visits Colorado!

Martin Drayton

I also had a look at Quinn's Junction Car Park, a suggested venue for our race... It is the same size as Redstone (and so too small), but a 10/10 surface as it has NEVER been driven or ridden on! Pity...

Martin Drayton

Hi Kevin & Bob, Ran into a whole bunch of people, locals and visitors, who are headed to Redstone this Thursday...if thats OK? If I get a chance, I will swing by the Hill before then to see what state it is in (gravel & oil last time). You are right though, we DEFINATELY need to hit some hills in pr...

Martin Drayton

Looks like it may be just me, with the girls staying home to go on holiday when I get back. Not sure if I am staying with a friend or sharing a room with you guys...will keep you posted! I will probably fly there and back to save time (its only $103 return!!!)

Martin Drayton

Donald if they perform half as good as they look...you are onto a winner! Keep us posted as to when they become available. Do any of "your boys" have them at present so I can quiz them?

Just got an email and call from Max Paap, Special Events Director for Park City Council... He has suggested putting the race on at Quinn's Jct. where they have just finished building new car parks... There is a BIG Youth day on Oct.9th encouraging kids to get involved with winter sports that he says...

Martin Drayton

Go Trish go! Watch out Hood River Women....Be afraid, be very afraid...
Trish, stay cool and skate like we all know you can...you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. You go girl!

Martin Drayton

Like it Kev! Mmmm... A brown Coolmax with the graphics in yellow.... hell, yeah! Did anyone notice that they have matching boxers.... ;) Personally I would be happy to get a coolmax to skate in and a cotton to "strut the UPC" when not skating... Couldn't we do both? I think a hoodie in cotton would ...

Martin Drayton

I second that emotion! We missed you...

It was cool to see so many people out at a really worthwhile session this Thursday, but unexpected benefits are already coming from the get together... 1) The General Manager of the Newpark Complex says not only are they building an 80,000 sq.ft. lot for retail, a hotel and housing, BUT HE WANTS US ...

Martin Drayton

Firstly thanks to Kevin for trekking all that way AND bringing his timing gear. I think everyone learnt a lot about their set-ups, wheel speed related to size, wheelbases and what goes fast opposed to what feels fast...I know I did! It was cool to see so many people out at a really worthwhile sessio...

Martin Drayton

OK guys, lets try the Parking lot nearest to the new Zion's bank at Redstone (Kimball Junction). When you turn onto the 224 off the I-80, take the 1st left onto the Frontage Road (1st right is towards MacDonalds). I think its called New main St. Go across the 4 way junction, you'll see Zions on your...

Martin Drayton

A mega session guys, well done to those who came...We had lots of young kids try slalom and leave wanting to buy boards. They said it was way more fun than street boards!
I ached the next day...I forgot how hard flatland pumping can be.
Which leads us to "Change of venue..." see topic!

Martin Drayton

The weather forecast for Saturday is dry! So we should be good...(Its pissing down now though and a MEGA storm is due)...

Martin Drayton

Cool...We are on for the demo. Lets meet at 9.30 at the Skatepark and suss out where they will let us use.

So far:
Trish
Mike
Chris
Kev

All are welcome! Bring any spare boards you may be prepared to teach people to use...

Martin Drayton

I have a couple of teen snowboard clients in town for a few days and they want to skate a bit when they are here. Looks like Mom wants me to take Friday off from the shop and take them skating...Damn! It will most likely be during the day, morning or afternoon, PC/SLC wherever... I plan to take them...

Martin Drayton

Hi Everyone, There is a Community Fair at City Park next Saturday and Destination Sports have been asked to do some kind of skate demo. They have been told that a section of concrete is needed (don't know who by!), but there are plenty of bike paths around there...Who knows, maybe we could run a cou...

Martin Drayton

So far Bob, Trish and myself have signed up... Anyone else interested? If you check out the Contest Calender @ NCDSA you will see pics. The TS hill looks like the same kind of pitch as Eagle Pointe....Hmmmmm. The Drayton clan will be taking the slow way there and back (Maya can't do the whole trip i...

Martin Drayton

This week we had another cool session, and the develpoer passed by again, wishing us well and actually sweeping the road HOWEVER they have started excavation work on 2 of the lots. One is up where we park, so not a problem. The other is half way down on the right, so there is some periodic earth spi...

Hey guys, Just in case anyone was heading over to the hill...I just watched the clouds approach and open and in 5 minutes our deck was under 1/2" of snow!!!!! Think of mr today standing at the Resort by the Alpine slide, so nice that they only issued us with shorts and said we would have to buy matc...

This Thursday will be the 1st of our regular evening sessions. Normally there is someone there from 6pm onwards.

I am happy to get there straight from work and start sweeping and course-setting to get maximum cone time in....just let me know. ps. Just got Zig-Zags...

Martin Drayton

I know as a Roe Team rider everyone will think I'm biased...But I ride a Roe out of choice. Great build quality, sparkling performance and podium proven... The 2.8 will get you through just about anything. You would be pretty happy with either, both manufacturers build with love for the sport and fu...

I am trying to either close the shop up early or get someone to stand in for me... I WANT TO SLALOM SO BADLY! Its all i can think about while I'm doing this sh*t job at the mountain this summer!
