Im here at work right, wishin I was out doing some early sunday mornin skating. Looks like we will make a vote to when were doing our downtown run, tonight or tomorrow night. Im available for either one, I would say that we meet up in the OP area at 9 45 and push off between 10 and 10 30.

Shark, when we go downtown, we start off in olmos park/monte vista, and skate down san pedro. If you have it, wear a light device, or highly visible clothes becasue itll be night time. We skate down san pedro and stop off at the SAC parking garage, after some runs there continue down san pedro until we reach the big buildings. There should be plenty of garages down there we can explore, and we might stop and get some food/drinks. Then take a cab back up, bring a couple bucks of cash if you got it.

I havnt been in the UIW garage, but looked at it from the outside. Looks pretty stretched out, so there will probably be some pushing to get to the next transition, but i might be wrong.

Hey guys, just checked the online weather forecast and multiple sources are showing rain all day and night tomorrow. So im gonna go ahead and vote we ride tonight. Meet up at 9 45pm, and get pushing around 10-10 30. Would this be Ok with yall? Ill be making calls soon to makre sure.

**BLASTER** · 01-06-2009 10:52 PM

That UIW garage looks cool.
Lots-o-light.
I drive by it every night after work.
Seems to me that it's parking for the dorms and there'd always be cars in it, especially at night.
Yes?
...and then there's college coppers.

If you hit it, post up your findings!

**Txbordr** · 01-08-2009 01:34 AM

Skate it up my man. Nic I was going to ask if you could do me a favor. I want to try out your bear trucks on my evo and see how it performs. Would you be willing to help me out here sometime, Id just put them on for one session, maybe geneseo? Also, Im gonna PM you some of those places you might check out to see about a new job.

**Txbordr** · 01-08-2009 09:31 AM

Yeah, I can dig it.
Do you need them flipped carve or speed?
Speed I'd assume.

Both, I can switch em up and try them both out. I wanna try them with the red, as well as the green venoms too. My yellows should be coming in today or tomorrow

**Txbordr** · 01-10-2009 04:29 PM

Right on blaster, I happened to see a longboarder skating on mccullough in olmos park around 5pm yesterday, would that have been you or one of your crew?? Did yall get run off by the security? Im currently working on a helmet cam and am about halfway done with it, should work pretty well I think(I should say I hope...).

I wont be doing any skating in the morning, gotta work tomorrow, but im down for some skating afterwards if anyone wants to.

**BLASTER** · 01-10-2009 06:19 PM

Not sure who that was on McCullough, but that is my 'hood/area.

I look forward to your helmet cam results.
Here's my rig.

I added another bracket for rigidity, but the parking garage concrete had a non-skid texture...ask Slammie D's arm.
Lots of vibration and vibration noise.
My poor little camera has taken a beating, but has proved very rugged.
I wish I could figure out a better bracket, but the poor little camera wasn't sure what to focus on in the first place.

**SlyTX** · 01-10-2009 06:32 PM

Nice setup, did you build that board?

Heres the progress on the helm cam, the case used to be for the parts of the dremmel tool, i just dremmeled away the dividers so the camera sits flat, and stuff some cardboard in it to fill the empty space. Its going to attach to a piece of 1/8" polycarb that Ill heat treat to shape to my helmet. That will attach to the helmet with velcro, and the camera will attach to that with velcro as well, like Nic said Ive got a lot of faith in the ind. str. velcro. Lol.

New to longboarding. Just waitin on my Supercharger to come in the mail. I live in the Schertz area so hopefully I can run into some of you.

**BLASTER** · 01-10-2009 09:18 PM

Cool Rog, git some!

Thanks!
Yes, that's my GB54m2 model....con RII 180s and Gumballs.
Very stable.
High traction.
Bullet proof plank.
I sold a complete just this morning to a dude named George Bush.

I've been looking at the latest parking garage skate vids posted on YouTube and THEY ALL SUCK!!!!
