Sweet. I figured they would show since Marco was itching to get out there. If you messed up your knee, ice, elevation, and Naproxen (Aleve). It will work wonders for beat up skaters.

For those of you not on the google group(get on the google group) a few of us are headed up to REI tonight. I'll be there around 10.

thanks. That's what Ive been doing. I self diagnosed myself with a torn/sprained MCL. a couple weeks rest and i'll be out there again. My herbal medicine helps.

I was really looking forward to going to REI and kennesaw this weekend. bummer.

this will teach me to try and drop knee. I mean...what was I thinking?!

When are we kicking off the Kennesaw session? Are we still aiming for noon?

**AlG** · 05-23-2009 09:48 AM

leaving now. see you guys out there.

**Shift** · 05-23-2009 05:14 PM

More of you guys should've come. It was such a great time.

According to Al's car's speedo we hit 38mph on one of the hills.

ey, guys. i'm getting further into hardcore dh, and cornering with traction is becoming a thing of the past. i can coleman and shutdown regular and goofy, but for the life of me i can't check slide or pendulum. and seeing as how my switch tuck leaves something to be desired, i'd like to solve this problem. i live in the midtown/little five/emory area, and was wondering if someone could meet up and help me solve my suckage?

thanks either way

I found this on youtube, Sergio Yuppie and Gravity Skateboarding Lessons. They're pretty cool. He makes it look effortless. He's riding a smaller board, I'd assume technique is the same for longboard.

YouTube - Gravity Skateboards - Slide School - #1...

There's a bunch of us. Join the Google Group. There's a session tomorrow night and Saturday being planned.

I love how this thread has become "Get on the Google Group" about every third post. That's hilarious. However, it has served us well to build one heck of a dedicated crew.

Just in case any of you aren't in the Google group there's a session at the REI deck tonight and tomorrow a few of us are hitting up hills across Kennesaw.

The Kennesaw rides starts on Noonday Church Rd (off of Cobb Pkwy near Barrett Pkwy) around noon.
