hey, i'm gonna take a train into hillsdale that arrives at 3pm... hopefully i can find my way to magnolia from there.
damnn, sensei -- those rides near your house sound tigggghttttt, especially that curvy bike path. i may have to pitch my tent and camp out at the bottom of sibbald friday night!!!
see you guys tomorrow. i'll be packing skaterbuilt AND poolside this time so i don't have to keep swapping wheels out. looking forward to learning some new stuff. cheers.
All right you phuckin pirates, check this out: I just went to check out the runs for saturday, and you won't believe what I found.
First off: A brand new condo comunity with FRESHLY PAVED HILLS running all over it!!! Were talking virgin runs here!! We'll be naming some runs saturday, you can bet that.
But, best off, I turned into this empty park that sits ontop of a hill right by my house, and I find: A MOTHERPHUCKIN FRESH PAVED TWO LANE BIKE PATH THAT RUNS DOWN ALONGSIDE A CLIFF!!!! I got so stoked, I ran home, grabbed my sh!t, and went and skated this place for an hour in the sweltering heat. Its crazy fun! Ever see Jody Willcock's vid off the Landy site with the golf course? Yeah, its like that, only along a freakin cliff. Some nice turns, and a few sharp ones if you want to drift.
The only small lame thing I found, was that they put these speed hump things at the end of two runs I orginally knew about. It's okay though, there long and wide and totally able to ride over. All this is within not even of a mile of each other. Then its only a five minute car ride to some real steep sh!t.
Saturday is going to kick as$!!
Off to try and download the vids now.
Yarr.
Dude, you certainly now how to get my attention. We need to film!!!!!
I set up my park board and I am jittery with excitement. I was online looking at the park and I was planning what I am going to hit first.

Well if you want Ned, I got a couch you can crash on tonight. Granted it's not the most comfortable couch and you'll have to deal with my pain in the butt puppy, but your welcome to it. Then you can just come with us in the morning. I could pick you up tonight, even if I get stuck at the school I'll still come get ya. Let me know.

wow, thanks for the couch offer!!! lemme think about that one -- that might work.
i'm going over to the auto mechanic right now; he fixed the air intake in the volvo wagon, but now a light comes on that says "BRAKE FAILURE" (sounds ominous). hopefully i'll be able to drive out this time instead of trying to ride all my stuff around in a backpack.
Cool. Just let me know on here before three or call my cell tonight. Like I said, if you guys don't here from me by 7, I'm still on the floor teaching/training. I'll be on the floor from 5:30 to 6:30 too, in case you try to call then.

we need to have a session on a wednesday, I WANT TO COME!!!!! i wanna have another downhill slide session, and i want to start bombing, when ty gets me that speedboard..... i would love to hit up sayreville too, but im not sure how i would fare in a park, i cant do that whole ollieing thing . and the parking garages await............
that session was pretty cool, my 360s are gettin alot better, and yes, i beat george in a race, haha, ned pulled off some nice colemans!!!!!! yeah man ned! and anthony tried bombin liberty and then slidin but first got speed wobble and nearly died, then did it again and did a mega toeside coleman, um, whatelse, tyler was his usual speed self and then pulled out the slider, and so yeah, it was cool, mike, id definitely be up for a session on wednesday somewhere for some speed
Man today's session was AMAZING with a capital J! hahaha.
I knew it was gonna be good when we kicked off the day with a round of beers, ahahaha
The park was sick and it took me awhile to get the hang of pumping around the bowls. I am so addicted to it now, that ant and I are going back on monday, like all day.
Then we hit up a bike path that ran along side of a quary and right throuh some stereotypical mexican fiesta.
Then after that we hit up a condo community and did some sliding.
THEN after that we hopped the gate into another condo community and found a sick speed run. What's even better is that we had our very own ACTION "NED" JACKSON filming on top of this giant cliff, no joke he was like 200 feet up and get an arieal view of us bombing.
it was sick, so sick, it makes ebola look like a cold.

Yeah, it was sick. I had a great time. You guys were picking up the park quick as hell!! Anthony had a nice sweeper variation on the hump too
I forgot the mega amount of hills I got near me. Before we have another Jam here, we have to go and explore some more, then map out all the runs. We just scraped the surface yesterday, we never even went to the extemely steep one I know, plus I just remembered about a THIRD condo comun in that area too. Yeah its on a mountian like the other too
You guys will have some serious fun on Monday, go a little early and you'll have the place to yourselves. If you see an older gentleman there riding a Gravity pool board and airing out of the shallow and up the wall extension, that's Bob White. Tell him I said hi You might also run into the Bulldog guys too, they normally session there on Monday mornings. There a real cool group of guys, they'll be able to give ya more pointers then I did.
