Oak's nice....

WesE - 706 353 3883 LowJ's Patio - noticed you've got P-ville slated for Monday. How about a sat. night post-vans/hooties p-ville sesh for those of us that might not be able to hang till monday?? You know, while we're in the neighborhood..... Oh yeah, and let's not forget the late night kegger and P...

Don't we have enough Mexicans in Georgia?.....JUST KIDDING! The Irish/Italian gang is looking forward to seeing all you blokes this weekend. Not sure if I can get up there in time for the Tejas Outlaw Roadshow, but I'm going to do my damndest.... Hollien mentioned something about getting together fo...

That looks great.

Eating a quarter inch by two inch slice of Vidalia onion before each race will improve your ramp starts. It's all about timing.

Sounds good.....

No Florida trip for me. Actually, I'm pushing it to get up to Athens this weekend. But.....get up there I will....Sat. round 6:30pm at the hunn, weather permitting...

hey stanz - can y'all do Sat. eve instead? gotta work friday night.

I miss my hunn....hill, that is....

Yes, I too am sorry. Ga. Tom was packed up and ready to hit it when the phone call came at 5am sat. effectively cutting my "all day skate" in half(don't ask....). Had to phone Stanz and bail.....damn....Decided to phone Patio and drag him outta bed for a morning Vans sesh. So despite traffic jams en...

JAM.....

Rick - lemme ride over with you, Patio and that bastard 66....or if your planning to bring ramps, i gotta ball on the back of the led sled and a big motor....

oops! Scuse me Patio. Sorry bout the negative tone. I'm speaking more about the entire southeast US. You and Rick are doing y'alls part in north Ga. no doubt. And me? well I'm trying. How bout we do one get together per month starting in South Carolina this month, Ga. in August(not the race), then F...

oops! Scuse me Patio. Sorry bout the negative tone. You and Rick are doing y'alls part in north Ga. no doubt. And me? well I'm trying.

How bout we do one get together per month starting in South Carolina this month, Ga. in August(not the race), then Florida in Sept and so on??

Now we're talking....there's really no excuse for us SE slalomers not getting together more often. For practice sessions if nothing else. Hollien is working to organize some Gainesville, Fl. sessions as we speak. We should all go. In Athens, GA., there is a great hill available that I've nicknamed T...

I don't think anyone in this discussion questions the fact that one must pay his dues before true success comes......

On a grassroots level, I think Pat is onto something. The point is to make these races more enjoyable for everyone, right?

P - just noticing your post here...what, 2 weeks after the fact? :smile: There are SO many things to consider when wedging and dewedging trucks.....your stance, the type and speed of the course your running.....the list goes on but those are the most important in my mind. IMHO, the best way to start...

I likey!!

you MUST use Vlad's sig pic if this happens.

St. Louis brethren,

Sorry I missed the race...I thought about ya'll the whole weekend. Glad to hear it was a success!

How's the hill back there P? Fast, flat, mellow???

new or used, straight or slightly bent. cash or trade.

yeah....imagine how I felt driving home after 3.5/4 hours of slalom in the Georgia sun. And to think, it's not even "hot" yet... The "rest" at your crib helped. you gonna get a good hard practice in next weekend? Lemme know if so. iT'S looking more like Stl. might not happen for me, but I'll still d...

Patio - I picked up the cones the kids were playing with and put them at the end of the course. Is it possible we forgot to mark them?? Remember, the course ended right at the culdesac. Each of us brought 50, right??

Yer royal Patness - count me in. I'm afraid I'll have to confine my skateventure to only Huntington Hill this time though. Promised my kid she could go with me "next time", which'll be saturday:)

Took the mini-carve out for a spin yesterday. Fun deck!!

Yes, our skate day went off!! Thanks for takin us around Pat. Huntington Hill rules! Juniors ditch was hot. The SX bowl ruled. I left Athens yesterday exhausted but wearing a grin! Running 100 cones on Huntington was/is nirvana. I'll be back.... Really enjoyed skating with all you guys. Let's hook u...

Stanziale - I'm coming up to practice on that hill. You'll be home the weekend after the Gathering, right?? If your not going to MD., let me know and I'll drive up this weekend.....or hell, I might drive up this weekend anyway....directions??

Has anyone hooked Goad up with a LSJ vid yet?

Byrddog - It was all great!! I speak for everyone when I say that!

Yeah, it ain't bad considering I did it all manually. Did I remember to dub in your voice when you asked me if I got that kid's slam on tape? I did it on some, but not all.

Street monkeys to slalomers? Oh yes, its happening! Like van Stanziale said, Byrddog's scene in Mississippi is living proof of that. And in my tiny scene here in middle Ga, two of my town's most talented kickflippers join me to run cones every now and then. One of 'em is even wanting to go to some r...

St. Louis is my only committment right now. Would like to go to to The Gathering but could only do one day.....

A southeastern event between now and St. Louis would be the ticket, even if it's outlaw.

how ya'll doin? ok, i said my peace.

Henry - Kudos to you for your upcoming clinic! Wish I could be there and meet all you guys. A long summer of racing is coming so we're all bound to cross paths.....

Your cones are on the way! Hope you can put 'em to use soon...
