Sunday. You and me, Matt. I'll pm you my number. Slalom or downhill. Your call. I have a few good downhill spots I think you will like.

Bobby! If it doesn't rain, we need to skate on Sunday. That is IF I can drag you away from the wake park. I have been spreading the word on that place to the guys here.

Matt, don't tease me with posts like this and then drop off the face of the Earth. Call a brother and lets go skate. NOW! I'll show you what I've been doing with that Voodoo you traded me.

Skating on Sunday. That's what is going on. Who wants to go?

**sniffleless** · 06-08-2009 06:44 PM

I had a great time skatin' with you on Sunday, Matt. I actually went back out and kept skating after I dropped you back off at your car. The park was a lot less crowded and I got some good fast runs in. I was bombing over 30 on those Bennetts.
Matt, we need to skate more often. Let you get your courage back.

I feel ya man parts of me just protecting my ankle...too many bails at high speeds one more could be it...I miss being fearless but all that fearlessness left me with a #### ankle and a reserved room in the er. lol... Aside from that i definitly had a good time mayne it was good to see you again...Im sure if I get out there enough ill be racing you again in no time. Takes time i suppose but time is all i have.

You need to learn how to bail different maybe. Knee bailing could help. Put those pads to use. I know trying to run things out at high speeds just doesn't work and if your ankle is bad it makes it worse. Being able to drop to your knees and slide it out works wonders. You asked why I wore my slide gloves even though I'm not sliding or dragging my hands? It's just in case I have to knee bail. I go down to my knee pads and I have my hands down to keep my balance. Kind of sliding on my hands and knees. It works. I've saved myself from some nasty high speed slams by doing that. Next time we are out I'll show you what I mean.

Bobby? You out there? I know I never call but you know me. I hate phones. I'll try and check in with you this week. It's time to do some big runs if I can drag you away from that wake park.

**sniffleless** · 06-21-2009 10:08 PM

I was on vacation. Just got back. I think the wife deleted your number from the phone. She's bad about clearing all the call information out of the caller ID. I can't skate this weekend but the maybe the next?

**WhataRush** · 07-06-2009 05:11 PM

hmmmm ill call u this week set something up for this upcoming weekend

**sniffleless** · 07-06-2009 05:26 PM

You call me and we'll figure something out. I have a few things going on about we should be able to work around them. I do need to get some skating in.

**sniffleless** · 07-11-2009 09:06 PM

There will be some longboard skating going on on Sunday.
Come join in the fun.
Just let me know if you want to go.

**hunterlloyd** · 07-18-2009 09:37 AM

where do you longboard?

**sniffleless** · 07-19-2009 03:02 PM

Mostly just around my neighborhood. It's nothing much. It's close.
There are some fun rides over in Cherokee Park and around the zoo. Iroquois Park has a nice hill. Mainly I have some hills over in the neighborhoods all over the east end that I ride the most. I've got a few that are good for setting up cones for slalom and others that are good for going fast (mostly in the 30-35 mph range).

**hunterlloyd** · 07-19-2009 04:38 PM

cool, ive been wanting to get into longboarding really bad. just thot it wud be funa nd useful and ecofriendly cus im goin to college nxt year. u live n tha east end?

**sniffleless** · 07-19-2009 07:56 PM

I'm down in Fern Creek.

Longboarding is fun. Just know your limits. It's easy to get in over your head on the hills before you learn to judge them for speed.
It is a fun and easy way to get around. I see guys commuting around the Highlands area every now and again. There was one guy that used to be on here that used his to go back and forth to work.
Make sure about your college's stance on skateboarding/longboarding when you get there. Some colleges are cool with you skating to class and others are not.

Cruising along the waterfront can be fun too. I haven't done that in a while.

**WhataRush** · 07-20-2009 02:41 PM

hey man was you too tired sunday after conoeing all day Saturday. I ended up Going out to Bardstown road anyways. I figured if you wanted to go you would call. Maybe next weekend. Oh and hey new guy you should join us one weekend we both have a lot of boards you could try.

**hunterlloyd** · 07-20-2009 03:06 PM

dude, the waterfront sounds like a sweet place to ride. and thanks man, once my board comes in, ill be sure to get at yall

**sniffleless** · 07-20-2009 08:17 PM

I was wiped out. There is a whole long story behind that trip. Lets just say that I paddled my ass off and suffered for it the next day. I had fun though. I was the talk of the warehouse today. My kayaking exploit was the thing of legends I guess. All I know is I made sure that everyone made it back alive. No small feat.
