Excellent....Might have to close the shop a little early!!! Can't wait to ride with everyone again. I keep running into people in PC with Longboards, so hopefully should see some new faces too.
Are we still interested in putting on a race at the end of the Summer? UPC T-shirts/hoodies anyone?

Hi Erin, As a TS-lover (and a bigtime Roe user), I would suggest the Chindy 88 over the 101. This is because with clever use of the spacers you can use it for TS and Hybrid.
