I'm looking for some cruiz'n buddies! I'm a 46 year old carver, moderately risky, infant slider, just bought a helmet, 6-2/260lb boarder living near San Antonio, Texas. Anybody out there that could get me in touch with prospects would be greatly appreciated. Don't let my youthfulness fool you!

Hey, I heard about this thread at a ditch sesh last night. The older set is always looking for new membership in this area. I am pretty familiar with the scene. We should get together sometime. When's a good time for you?

For now SATown and a fair amount of time in Austin. I have a feeling we'll meet soon. Check your p.m. ! Two names right off the bat BLASTER and Barnett. Look for these guys. Good peeps to skate with.

name's Austin (har har yes I am Austin from Austin) so give Dorian/myself a PM if you ever come down and there are a bunch of people that we can round up for a sesh, Monday nights at 10pm are the prime, downtown riding and garages with more than 10 people everytime

hey Austin & Dorian you miss a good down hill session on Sunday, I got to the hill at 6:20 no wind and it the mid 70's my first three runs were 54.9, 55, 54.8 mph after the sun came up the wind started to come up the hill so it got slow 46 to 48 mph never the less it was a good day. Cops pass by twice no hassle

.

Hope you guys can make it next weekend

I will like to skate Seven Oaks again

Hey Dorian I have a differential gps, acurate to 5ft radius. I strap it to my left arm and go.

**shredward c** · 07-07-2008 05:48 PM

Yea, I've heard of the meets at Wahoo's. Monday's are usually reserved for SATown (it's a long story). In fact i've been invited by Shane who i've known over a number of years and just recently a young lady named Halle (sic). I do have it on my list of "things to do". In the meantime there are a handful of Geezer's here in SATown worthy of skating with, and one helluva backyarder in the form of "The Claw". Fear not kelbobber1 we'll do what we can to quell your lonliness.

I must say i downhill but, the speeds some of you guys are clocking make me feel like a wuss.

**TheRosen** · 07-07-2008 07:09 PM

halie and i went to highschool together a ride regularly. shes a badass. monday night is fun, if you can you should try to make it out. random interesting people show up who never come back but are riding some beautiful board they made themselves or tell insane stories of other places the skate. my theory is that they're ghosts.

edit: spelling

Don't juidge you're self so hard. We are used to going fast because we Dh on a weekly basis, and have been doing it for quite a while now, but wen I started DH I started on the middle of the hill and each time walk up a little further till I was at the top. The body has to learn how to react and in some cases how not to react and get use to the sensation of speed

. You're not a wuss, you just need more practice that's all

**shredward c** · 07-08-2008 10:24 AM

True, That's the same approach i had with Big View when i skated it. Not sure how fast i was going just kept it within reason. I am a "cough-cough" newly inducted member of the Texas Outlaws i just want it to be long term as opposed to short.

**TheRosen** · 07-08-2008 12:01 PM

BV is just nuts as a beginner. the bottom is just so uncomfortable.

I'm in SATX. I do a little carving and such, but my main discipline is LDP. I'm a Brackenridge Park almost daily either from 8-10 am or 6-8 pm. I do 20 miles a day. PM me if you ever want to do some distance skating.

Jim

**shredward c** · 07-17-2008 06:21 PM

20 miles LDP? That's insane in this heat. The thought never crossed my mind. It sounds like fun. Although i can't say i've done it perhaps i should try. I spend more than my share of time at LBJ. I live near the Riverwalk. I'll hit u up in the near future.
