John Dillon

John Dillon

Hey guys and gals! Yes, it's true that I'm on crutches and in great pain...I'm toughing it out w/o meds as the pain meds make me puke and Advil is useless. I wish to thank you all for the kind thoughts and e-mails, the therapy words, phone calls,etc...I may be down but I'm not all the way down. Twas...

John Dillon

Hey Gilbert....yea, mostly us Baltimore folks must head to the DC area to ride w/cool slalom folks there......but right now get some time in at Lansdowne and the Arbutus Ditch or, after the Lansdowne Grand Re-Opening on sat sept 18th, I'll have more time to run cones locally...usually on the Howard/...

John Dillon

Thanks Bracken and Nino....please fill out the survey again as I'm told they lost all that were sent in already...so send it in again...Vote for Roundwall and vert/over-vert....how else are we going to be able to hang w/the skillbillies in Ohio and Oregon if we don't have over-vert here in Maryland?...

John Dillon

I think both these guys just got new wheels...I believe they are both riding for(in) Subaru vehicles. Not to bring it up again.......but 30" wb is really too short to be called for a lb....it should be a longer wb. However, I enjoy it....ie, the lb slalom race a bit more than the TS....and I have fu...

Yo Q& Taz: I love that Bulldog Longboard with those 92a Shogo's!!!Sweet!

John Dillon

Waldorf, actually White Plains Regional Park, Charles County Skate Park is 1-1.5 hrs from G-burg on a weekend day with no traffic screw-ups, ST Mary's(STM) is another 35-40 mins further south, but the cheap $4 en...

John Dillon

John Dillon

Hey guys!
I remember the ads in Skateboarder Mag in the 70s for those lil ice blades you attach to your trucks....I wouldn't mind trying it again.

John Dillon

Hey Vlad, I'll be teaching at Hunter Mountain next wknd, but I may c u at Whitetail this sun morn if I don't go to R-top.

John Dillon

See if u can negotiate a cheaper rm rate at the closer hotel and get Red Bull to pick up tab for the block of rms...it may work due to the state of the economy, saving everyone $ and getting the hotel with whom you negotiate a definite chunk of biz, otherwise, you'll go to the other hotel that charg...

John Dillon

Hey folks!
When u cannot slalom outside due to damp/frozen/salty conditions, go do slalom on the slopes nearby....it's only 1.5 hrs to drive to Whitetail and/or Liberty or 2.25hrs to Roundtop.

John Dillon

The race was cold on sat...in the 30s but it was 17 when I left my house...since I worked out in the cold all week,I was prepared, and yea, I was overdressed but I was warm...because, as WesE said, the wind was non-existent due to the forest surrounding us, it felt a lot warmer than if you were expo...
