Ron,
you're very welcome. I know what it takes to make the type of decks that Fatboy (and everyone else does) because not only am i a carpenter by trade, (particularly high end custom cabinetry) but i used to make my own boards as well. And i'll be making my own foamies by the end of this winter too! So the fact that you guys and many other sponsors give away gear thats not simply "pressed out" is pretty awesome.
I think i will stick to my current racing outfits though, but i did take it into consideration!
I'm also trying not to fall so much these days, but so far i have yet to NOT fall at any slalom event i go to. The Farm, ate shitl. Dixie, crazy knee slide. Ohio, fall. Colorado, ate shit again. World's, fell. Dixie, fell again!! WTF I guess it's the vert/pool/park skater in me to knee slide as second nature. Or maybe its my crazy "go for broke" attitude that gets me. I still don't know! But either way i'm trying to stay away from my 5 tumble (yes i have video of me tumbling 5 times and my shoe coming off at the farm) fall.
And i do use those butt pads i got at The Farm too!!! Those things have definately saved me in the vert and pool!!
But joe, how could i possibly forget what you told me! And how right you were too! Duguette is going to have to actually practice if he plans on catching me! Even then, he's got his work cut out for him!
Rest well this winter boys, we'll all be needing it next racing season!
take care
Justin Collins
