Wesley - Read your story- I'll be prayin for ya bro. That's a real important meesage you gave about drinking MORE WATER.

The newspaper is the {San Diego} NC Times.

There is a cool picture of pro racer
Jeff Thomas on it.

I'm reading these posts - and I see Mike Gorman's, hmmmmmmmmm, I agree with him. Jesse Martinez works with those Venice kids, and I see them at WLAC races, and Jesse is doin a great thing! I think it would be a really good cause, to donate that vehicle to Jesse and his organization! Just my observat...

Maria - Thanks for the filming you do; video, stills, computer stuff, updating-posting, and reporting, and for supporting my brother Richy, {THE BROWN BOMBER} in his endeavors! Someone said- "Behind every great man, is a great woman"- - ....hey, that's you Maria! Sorry, I couldn't make it to JPL - B...

Glenn- Nice shots ! Good work! Sorry I couldn't make it, Bobby had a BIG Bowling Tournament, and he wanted me to watch him.

Jack-

My picks: 1. Richy. Look at him ! He's at the FINISH LINE- "the big grand finalee"[as it were]- he also looks like he's on fire! His wife Maria is a genius with her photography stills AND video. She has been very generous shooting me also in the last several years; we're very BLESSED to have her in ...

Chicken's pit bull kept staring at Richy C. and me- - - - - - - - you can tell it wanted MEXICAN FOOD for dinner! ! ! ! ! ! ..................

Jack- ...does THAT Bahne slalom ramp still exist? I heard a rumor that you guys might use it? I wonder if that is the same ramp that I rode in the 1975 Hang Ten World Skateboard Championship in L.A. ? That ramp was a trip! A lot of people fell. [....not me ] Keep up the good work! .........and congr...

I've ridden that board Steve is riding [if that's the Dale Smith Board] in that last photograph posted.

***Hello out there! The topic of "what shoes do you wear?" is a good one. It is very important to find and use a shoe that will be comfortable, yet snug and grippy, holding you down on that board during those long Giant Slalom arc's, or that fast static side to side quick action pumping, flying stai...

......I was just at the Vans headquarters today, talking to Kristy Van Doren.......... she seemed pretty impressed about the slalom scene - I was explaining about the races- like WLAC and FCR's- -how it's getting more coverage, especially on the internet, websites like slalomskateboarder.com , ncdsa...

I also observed how tirelessly they work, their fri...
