AMAZING TIME!!

Great to finally meet you Micheal.

I think everyone walked away feeling the same stoke as we did as well. Loads of gear changed hands, everything from the first swap of the day between Trapper and I, which was bushings, to big ticket items like entire set ups. The cool thing was people showed up looking for a started set up and everyone helped, a board from me, wheels from Trapper, trucks from ReDox, bearings from someone else...it was inspiring.

I agree...EVERYONE should have one.

it should be done worldwide by the entire community the Sunday in March...as a kickoff to Spring...conversely, we should try and do an end of season party last day of November...

and that way, we can say we skate 9 months out of the year....yeah, i know that's a stretch!

good to meet up with everyone, especially Ted, Nora and you Mark!

I also had a great time.
Was nice to put faces to PM's, and talk to old friends!
Ted, you guys have an amazing place! Thanks again for hosting.
Michael, the BG is even better in paper!
See ya in November.
