Team Fatboy
A culture. Not for everyone. To be a "made" team member requires sacrifices and unbending loyalty. Besides the presentation of gifts to "He that is most fat" ( usually jelly filled Krispy Kream doughnuts) and the blood oath (which can be substituted with Boylans Black Cherry soda) members must be ready to represent when called upon by the Evil Potantate without question or hesitation. Knee pads are optional!

Point of Parliamentary Procedure...........

Technically, it's a draw.

Therefore I will share said Krispey Kremes with Mig only!

aww, who am I kidding........Like I'm gonna tell Tway - "No donuts for you!"

Can I be an honorary member of the team, even if I don't own a board yet?

Ron Barbagallo · Post by **Ron Barbagallo** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 2:15 pm

Absolutely!!!!

Membership has nothing to do with ownership or ability

Fatboy - it's an attitude!

Nice deck Ron! What are the dark stringers? Is there a minimum weight for FATBOY team membership?

Ron Barbagallo · Post by **Ron Barbagallo** » Tue Nov 08, 2005 4:58 pm

Hahahahahahaha!!!! No, weight is not always a factor

The deck has three stringers: oak in the center and walnut on either side

Paul Pellerin · Post by **Paul Pellerin** » Thu Nov 10, 2005 10:36 pm

Justin you took the words right out of my mouth.

Ron - those boards look awsome. I really like your new board with the dark stingers. It reminds me of my old Sims - Taperflex (my first real skateboard). I have to have one of those.

Congrats on your recent race sucesses. Another wooden board turning slalom on its Ear!!!

Ron Barbagallo · Post by **Ron Barbagallo** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 1:53 pm

Wow, thanks guys!!

But to tell you the truth, we'd be nowhere without John Wilkes Iacovelli! He's the unsung hero of our slalom success

Marty Schaub · Post by **Marty Schaub** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 4:02 pm

Yeah,

Joe also tosses a mean pickle too. Just ask the waitresses at the Waffle choke.

Also there is a good story on how Joe got pickle juice on his shorts. Sort of a Spinal Tap type of thing. I guess Joe was trying to make his go to 11.

I let Joe tell that one.......

Joe Iacovelli · Post by **Joe Iacovelli** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 4:12 pm

No idea what you are talking about

Apparently I'm too easily influenced by the suggestions of others.

Just a little advice to the younger guys. If you are trying to impress someone, put the pickle in the front of your pants, not the back.

Here is me with my Fatboy in action. I would like to thank Joe for getting me started in the Slalom racing, this is were it has gotten me: http://media.putfile.com/Fatboy-in-Action

Joe-this is the tech park i have been telling you about. This spot where i setup the TS is in the newest building's back parking lot. There is many places to setup TS and maybe hybrid. Butter smooth pavement! (paved in mid October, excellent quality)

Joe Iacovelli · Post by **Joe Iacovelli** » Tue Nov 22, 2005 10:23 pm

Dude,

That's not you! Where did you get the stunt skater?

Wow Adam. Nice rhythm, good pump, even a cridle on that last offset.

Nice job. Hard to believe you are the same guy that showed up in VT this summer.

From what little you can see of the office park, it looks more suited to a clinic than a race, but then again, I didn't see much.

Joe

DUDE, nice course... your way better at course setting then me...

Adam Daniels · Post by **Adam Daniels** » Tue Nov 22, 2005 11:50 pm

Thanks guys!

Joe-Those criddles are new for me and now I am very condifdent to hit any course because of that new skill. But no, that does not mean I am going to hit every cone possible. I still plan on running relatively clean through a course, only criddling cones if I have to dive for a cone that slows me down.

Chris-Thanks man, I really love setting courses. Both of my buds also compliment on my courses because they offer some difficulty but also have flow to them. It's hard to describe, but I run the course off of a straight line and base the cones off that line, all mental.

I've checked on the site, and I haven't seen any series models, are they only customs ?

Joe Iacovelli · Post by **Joe Iacovelli** » Mon Nov 28, 2005 7:21 pm

Frederic,

The Fatboy website is about to roll out a bunch of new pages. But in the meantime, allow me to answer;

All decks are custom made. We are going to offer 5-6 standard shapes for adults, 2-3 for kids. That way we've got boards you can pick from or adjust by saying "add 2 inches to the STV, or can we shorten the wheelbase on the Thunder Monkey?".

If you are inclined to draw up your own shape, we can make that too. No problem.

I'll be honest with you. These boards are durable and good looking. They are NOT state of the art foam and fiberglass. Tway an I podiumed on them in NC a couple of weeks ago. If we were on a $250 board, would we have gone faster? Who knows. I do know we had more money for beer.

get in touch if you need more info
iaco@comcat.net

Fatboy Site is in transit!

I've been working with Fats for the last month or so on the Fatboy site. It's has lots more pictures and information... but still has a fatboy feel to the site... (the first fatboy site was FULL of fatboy style). Anyways... once I get my fatboy, I'll be sure to post pictures on here.

Hope you guys all enjoy the site. Either Fats or I will update you guys on when its up and running... If there are any concerns and problems with the site once it is up, let me know.

Anyways, Glad to be riding a fatboy finally! Hope to meet some of you guys at the races next year!

Fatboy,
I want to publically thank you for your continued support of the Downhillbillies and your sponsorship of the 1st Annual Dixie Cup!

You the man bro! By the way, I have a package coming to you that will be shipped tomorrow or Friday.

Marion,

Fatboy is currently out of the country. I am not sure if he is going to have ready e-mail access. All mail/packages are being picked up and piled high for his return. If the contents of your package is important please let me know so that I can steal it and hold it ransom. He has been known to pay in delicious desserts.

From this years newly designed SAT test

Fatboy is to Scooter as;

a. OJ is to Kato Kaelin
b. Siegfried is to Roy
c. Zed is to "The Gimp" in Pulp Fiction
d. Jay is to Silent Bob

Nice to see the test isn't racially biased this year.

Joe Iacovelli is to Henry Julier as:

a. Victor Frankenstein is to Igor
b. Caligula is to a horse
c. Richard Gere is to a gerbil
d. George Steinbrenner is to Billy Martin

Joe Iacovelli · Post by **Joe Iacovelli** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 9:26 pm

WT,

OK, I set myself up for that. It was pretty un-funny though (except the RG/gerbil one) I expect more from you. Marshall and Molly, or Mike Duquette might have been more appropriate. Henry and I have not had much chance to hang out in 2005, I hope that will change in 2006. Hopefully you'll find a friend in 2006 too. The Bruce Brewington references are getting pretty tired.

here are some funnier ones;

JI to HJ as;

Hitler is to Poland

A big fat guy is to Little Debbie

Caddyshack is to Caddyshack II

A horse is to Catherine the Great (see Caligula made his horse a senator, Catherine "made" her horse. Its funnier)
