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 Cephas · Post by **Earl Cephas** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 5:06 pm

Will do.

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » 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.

Earl Cephas · Post by **Earl Cephas** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 6:59 pm

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

Zachary Skaggs · Post by **Zachary Skaggs** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 9:16 pm

Who is up for Sunday slalom?

(I am!)

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

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » 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?

Zachary Skaggs · Post by **Zachary Skaggs** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 10:31 pm

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

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » 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.

Earl Cephas · Post by **Earl Cephas** » 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.

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.

Zachary Skaggs · Post by **Zachary Skaggs** » 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!!

Jeff Boswell · Post by **Jeff Boswell** » Sun Mar 04, 2007 12:16 pm

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

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » 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!

Zachary Skaggs · Post by **Zachary Skaggs** » 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!

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » 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.

Earl Cephas · Post by **Earl Cephas** » 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.

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » 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.

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 3:45 pm

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

Lenny Poage · Post by **Lenny Poage** » 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.

Earl Cephas · Post by **Earl Cephas** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 1:08 am

Either day works for me.

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » 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?

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 2:54 pm

see everyone around noon

Jeff Boswell · Post by **Jeff Boswell** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 4:01 pm

Does anyone want to skate somewhere on Sunday.

Just let me know where.

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » 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.

Brendan Redler · Post by **Brendan Redler** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 3:14 am

Anthony Flis · Post by **Anthony Flis** » 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.

Dan Mitchell · Post by **Dan Mitchell** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 12:44 pm

I can do Sunday.

Dan Mitchell · Post by **Dan Mitchell** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 12:40 am

So is tomorrow on?

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » 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.

Dan Mitchell · Post by **Dan Mitchell** » 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.

Jeff Boswell · Post by **Jeff Boswell** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 3:38 pm

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

Earl Cephas · Post by **Earl Cephas** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 3:56 pm

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

Anthony Flis · Post by **Anthony Flis** » 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.

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 12:47 pm

Sunday session anyone?

Jeff Boswell · Post by **Jeff Boswell** » Sat Apr 28, 2007 12:31 am

I'm in for Sunday.

Earl Cephas · Post by **Earl Cephas** » Sat Apr 28, 2007 3:40 am

I'm in.

Neil Orta · Post by **Neil Orta** » Sat Apr 28, 2007 4:45 am

Where? Newbie to slalom interested! Even though my board hasn't shown up yet I have something to ride for now.

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Sat Apr 28, 2007 1:21 pm

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.

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Sun Apr 29, 2007 3:50 am

Just back from Florida. I should be able to make 12 at Walker.

Jeff Boswell · Post by **Jeff Boswell** » Tue May 01, 2007 11:05 pm

Friday night Walker session anyone?

Neil Orta · Post by **Neil Orta** » Wed May 02, 2007 1:26 am

I got my new decks, wheels, hardware....but still waiting on trucks! I can be there for a while.

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Thu May 03, 2007 1:19 am

I can be there by 9 or 9:30. My son has a High School soccer game that night.

Brendan Redler · Post by **Brendan Redler** » Thu May 03, 2007 4:45 am

I'm free. I don't know if I'll be going to Walker or to a big garage bomb. I'm thinking walker, but I'm pretty sure that means I'll have to abandon my buddy. Oh well. Ohm, can you PM me with some directions?

P.S.
When is this starting/ending (does it end?)?

Jeff Boswell · Post by **Jeff Boswell** » Thu May 03, 2007 12:54 pm

Maybe we should just wait until the weekend, The weather on both Saturday and Sunday look great.

Neil Orta · Post by **Neil Orta** » Thu May 03, 2007 10:08 pm

Got my new set up together and ready to rock and roll and see how they do, just let me know when.

Brendan Redler · Post by **Brendan Redler** » Fri May 04, 2007 10:18 pm

Accuweather says no rain tonight, but rain tomorrow. Let's do it! I need slalom asap.

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Fri May 04, 2007 10:39 pm
