Maybe Moses will come by too.

If I don't go slalom with pat tomorrow, I'll be at Watchtower with Andriy.

i tried lookout around 3pm
too much wet, leafy, mung on it
felt like skating on quacamole
not to my liking
maybe tomorrow

my first run i carved the top, second i was flying just flying, third was good and the fourth was also good. some of my best runs at lookout yesterday, at least as good as when i found it, will be there in a bit

hi

i just got back into skating after about 20 years of no skating.
i am interested in checking out the friday night rip. i want to learn how to slide. the problem is i've never done it before. i mostly just cruise around on my widerglider.

i've got a Drifter with slide a's and have been checking out slide vids. they are sick!

any tips or pointers? should i just show up and see what happens?

Just show up and ask someone. We're here to help.

For anyone interested, I'll be skating Watchtower tomorrow at two.

MJKam11 · 05-09-2009, 10:53 PM

I'll be there as well (unless mother's day complicates my day more than expected).

Come to the Rip x 2. All the assholery of silverfish disappears in the park. Never met him, but I hear even SpeedFiend's nice irl.

Sweet, Matt. I think Jim is going to show as well. I haven't spoken with Kaspar or Steve yet on the subject but I konw that Jeff isn't going to make it out today.

Of course, everyone is welcome to come skate. We are always here to help if you need it.

Flanger: try not to get cought up in petty squabbles that occur through this forum. We can get pretty childish sometimes.

MJKam11 · 05-10-2009, 08:20 AM

And now I CAN'T MAKE IT because my intelligent family wants to have dinner at 2:30

words do not describe how pissed I am at the moment.

SpeedFiend · 05-10-2009, 09:49 AM

skated this morning at lookout, five runs or so, a heck of a lot of wind moving around today
