Walker Lane at 12 noon.

Neil, Walker lane is the road that the INOVA Springfield Emergengy room is on. It connects Beulah and FFX County Parkway. You should enter on the Beulah Road side. We skate in the Calibre building parking lot. It's the first entrance on the right when you enter from Beulah.

I'm in for Sunday.

Posted: **Fri Apr 27, 2007 12:47 pm**

Sunday session anyone?

Posted: **Mon Apr 23, 2007 2:46 am**

Sorry i didnt make it guys. I had a really long weekend where I went to bed at 5 both nights in a row and moved so much equipment and played so much yesterday between my band and my school jazz band so I just slept in till 130 and then skated a little around my neighborhood. I hope you guys had fun and I'll make it out to another session.

Posted: **Sun Apr 22, 2007 3:56 pm**

I'll be there around noon - you set the Fatboy up?

Posted: **Sun Apr 22, 2007 3:38 pm**

I'll be there around 1:00 or so.

Posted: **Sun Apr 22, 2007 4:15 am**

OK have fun bros.

Solo sesh in York for me....eh, maybe I'll just take out the E-Glide....and a Busch Light.

Posted: **Sun Apr 22, 2007 3:29 am**

Dan, looks like we are skating in VA on sunday. Sorry bro.

Walker around 12 or 1. I got a few new goodies to try out.

Posted: **Sun Apr 22, 2007 12:40 am**

So is tomorrow on?

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 12:44 pm**

I can do Sunday.

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 4:18 am**

Hey so are you guys gonna ride? I'll come out and skate if you all do. My cell phone number is 703 501 5447. Give me a call if I don't remember to check back here before sunday and post saying I am coming.

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 3:14 am**

damn, outta town for college orientation stuff.

Posted: **Thu Apr 19, 2007 7:29 pm**

We could hit the P&R again. Maybe PADan will come down. Maybe we can get some MD peeps to show too.

I'll skate Walker too.

Posted: **Thu Apr 19, 2007 12:54 am**

Just let me know where.

Posted: **Wed Apr 18, 2007 11:16 pm**

I am down for sunday.

Does anyone want to skate somewhere on Sunday.

Posted: **Sun Mar 25, 2007 2:54 pm**

see everyone around noon

Posted: **Fri Mar 23, 2007 7:24 pm**

We are skating Walker Sat if it doesn't rain and also Sunday. Parson will have a timer on Sunday.

Who's down?

Posted: **Fri Mar 23, 2007 1:08 am**

Either day works for me.

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2007 5:23 pm**

Looks like an informal DHB Jam is shaping up for Hobby Hill on 4/21. I'm pretty sure I'm making the trek, if any of the DCOL can make it down, the more the merrier.

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2007 3:45 pm**

I am up for it. I am free both Saturday and Sunday this weekend.

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2007 1:08 pm**

Anyone looking to session this weekend? Sunday looks like the better weather day. Saturday will work too.

Walker is still wet in spots but with the warm weather coming it should dry up.

Maybe someone near the P&R can check out it's rideability.

Posted: **Tue Mar 06, 2007 12:24 am**

Never mind the lttle bit of blood left on the hill

Little swollen, still functional - skin tax paid in full.

Posted: **Mon Mar 05, 2007 4:21 pm**

Great session at Fountianhead yesterday.

The big scary hills are clear and will be skate ready with minimal sweeping.

Posted: **Sun Mar 04, 2007 2:51 pm**

OK. See you, Mike, at noon at Franconia. I'll call u when I'm there, and I'll be the guy with the yellow-wheeled longboard in hand.

And hells yeah I'm trying slalom!

Posted: **Sun Mar 04, 2007 1:09 pm**

Zach, bring your favorite longboard. If you decide to try slalom you will be riding one of our boards anyway.

Dillon, I hope to get at least one day this year on my snowboard. It would be great to meet with you and LBK for a session. I just got back from Austin, TX. I went to the Sizzler and we had 80+ degree weather. I think I am ready for summer!

Posted: **Sun Mar 04, 2007 12:16 pm**

Can't make it, gotta work, have fun.

Posted: **Sun Mar 04, 2007 3:15 am**

Cool. I can be at Franconia at noon and will be. Mike, thank for the ride offer -- I will take you up!

Shall I bring any of my other boards (Loaded pintail, Gravity hypercarve, Gravity ben wei)?

Anything else I should know?

Thanks again and i'm greatly looking forward to this tomorrow!!

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2007 11:40 pm**

Yo Mike,
Indeed, seeking shelter from the wind is a must....going into the woods in fresh pow up to your ribs is what I did this week in Colo...to dodge the minus 30 windchills. I found some nice ravines to slalom around the trees too....sweet sensation! Hopefully, I'll skate w/you and the others soon.

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2007 11:13 pm**

1:00 works. The left side was completly dry, some damp spots on the right, with enough clear to set a course - should be dry tomorrow. Didn't check the back, it might work too. See you tomorrow.

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2007 10:35 pm**

Zach, if you take the Blue Line to the Franconia Springfield station, I can pick you up. Plan to be there around Noon. You can call my cell phone.

Looks like we will be at Fountainhead around 1pm.

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2007 10:31 pm**

I'm car-less but would love to come out tomorrow. Is Fountainhead near the Fairfax metro?

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2007 9:34 pm**

Zach, I couldn't make it today but Earl is skating Fountainhead. We will definately be skating Sunday at Fountainhead. Since the wind is up, Fountainhead is in the woods and is protected. You can go on www.nvrpa.com and look under Reginal Parks for Fountainhead, it should have directions. If you have a car, we can meet and I can get you there.

Earl, sorry I missed the session today. Family stuff.

Are you skating on sunday?

Parsons?

Boswell?

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2007 9:16 pm**

Who is up for Sunday slalom?

(I am!)

p.s. Mike, I left a voice message.

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2007 6:59 pm**

Fountainhead looks ok, I'll throw a broom in the wagon - 2:00?

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2007 5:46 pm**

Pretty windy today. Fountainhead could be the call seeing that it is in the woods shielded from the wind.

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2007 5:06 pm**

Will do.

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2007 3:40 pm**

Drove by Walker this morning around 9:30 and I was quite wet. Lots of water coming up through cracks in the pavement. There is a chance it will dry by this afternoon but probably later than 1pm. I can check it again later and report back.

Earl, care to take a quick drive by Fountainhead and check the front hill.

Earl, I will swing by this morning to check the melt factor. How does 1pm sound today.

Parsons, we will skate with you either day. See you at 1pm Sat and Sun.

I just had a thought, there is a slight chance Fountainhead is skateable. We should check there for a Sunday session.

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2007 12:41 pm**

Parsons, we will skate with you either day since your pimp hand has weakened. See you at 1pm Sat and Sun.

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2007 5:07 am**

Maybe both

Sand is clear, little snow melt off around 1:00 - worth a look tomorrow.

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2007 9:34 pm**

What day? Saturday or Sunday?

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2007 3:22 am**

Sounds good! Rain today should help - I'll try and check it after work tomorrow - new toys to try!

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2007 1:12 am**

Zachary, Walker Lane is in Alexandria near the Springfield Metro station. There is an INOVA Emergency Room that is right off Fairfax County Parkway and that is Walker Lane. The spot we skate is at the Calibre Building parking lot right across from the Emergency Room. You should be able to Mapquest it. My phone is 703-930-1044.

Earl, how about 1:00pm? I will check out the surface and post.

Posted: **Thu Mar 01, 2007 11:51 pm**

Where is Walker?
Thanks!

Posted: **Thu Mar 01, 2007 10:30 pm**

Earl, you know i'm down. Have you checked out the sand factor at Walker?
