SCIENCE WAS RIDING AT DUSK AND HIT A 2 FOOT BY 2 FOOT HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE WALL AFTER THE FOOT BRIDGE. IT WAS A LITTLE TOO DARK TO SEE IT. ITS ON AT MY HOUSE TONIGHT, POOL, STEAKS AND BEER. BRING IT ON.

Science Rips...how did this happen?

Did Science hit a ladder, drain pipe, rock?...How did he fall. Was he using the right set up with softer wheels?

floridaskater.com... in burque? and science
On 12/2/2003 Lowrie wrote in from (65.161.nnn.nnn)

Nice article Gbm! I liked it, now when are you becoming a writer? just kidding. Science seems to be alright he's going back to the hospital today at 2, then (depending on what the doc says) he'll be heading back to Charlotte. He's pretty bummed that he got stuck in the land of entrapment, stayin at a house with a nice pool, that all he can do is look at. He has high hopes of healing up and coming back, along with the rest of us here in albucrazy, he has doubts of his doctors at good ole unm. I guess when he got there they were asking what he did to his hip and why it looked different than the x-ray, he corrected them, (wrong x-rays) retook some more xrays, and hoped for the best. anyway
George, when is the diary of albucrazy coming out? With all the writing youve been doing. I know you have something up your sleeve. See anyone who shows up tonight at palmers pool for the tuesday night sesh!

Very nice, GBMII, you're becoming quite the skate journalist.
Dang, I wish I had made it down for that.

More Indian School Fun
On 12/1/2003 GBMII wrote in from (143.183.nnn.nnn)

Me and Baxter gave a few out of towners (Colorado) the basic ditch tour Wednesday after the "spleen incedent". We hit Indian School, Ventura, and La Cueva without incident. The 30 mph uphill wind helped keep 'em safe.

Saw the ghost of Jonas and Chalakee in the lower section having a little parking block session but they vanished before I could steal a beer....

Who's Hole
On 12/1/2003 GI Joe wrote in from (65.19.nnn.nnn)

Just back from a Thanks giving holiday, and sorry to hear that Indian School chalked up another one, I am wondering if by chance Dave Science hit a hole? And if so, was it Bikers Hole? JW asks " should we mark 'em ?" How about put little hash marks to keep track of visiting victims and fallen heroes. Two marks for leaving body parts in ABQ...

Get well, Science, and good luck. Hope you're back up and running soon.

Another worries for the body parts
On 11/28/2003 Ginger wrote in from (65.86.nnn.nnn)

Man, i was just worrying about not falling on my wrists again and now, SPLEEN? My right wrist always popping whenever i touch to turn it. Let me tell ya guys, i hate hearing popping sounds, dead serious. Now my body pops here and there out of no reasons. Tell me something, is it because i'm in my mid 20s? I tell it to STOP but it doesn't listen. What you guys do to stop it? I'm not getting drunk to wash the the sound away :P


*Sighing* I hoped you Spleen bruisers get well soon and safe journey to wherever ya heading.

Other news, THe Vintage Day in Virginia was a blast. There were some females out there from the EC to try out longboards and flatground slolam. Three gals competed including myself and well, it was an experience. I'm liking that board i was riding (do you know what it was Brian?(one who judged the flatgrd race). Maybe i should invest in it. Mmmmmmm.. There were more people involve compared to last year. It was great, maybe those who couldn't go this year will try making it next year. Yeah we'll see. Looking back, wow ...that was so much fun. I just gotta learn to get bettter and faster.

EC getting colder at night and weird temperature during the day. Sometimes it'll be nice and warm while other times flat out cold. How's it over where you guys at?

No other news, so just have fun out there and live life.
Peace out.

Ginger

spleen
On 11/26/2003 Tony wrote in from (67.0.nnn.nnn)

Yo! Abq ditches are no joke, IMHO 528 is the freekin hariest, You can live without a spleen,. I just performed an autopsy the other day on a woman who had no spleen since like 1984.


shes dead of course but not because of the missing spleen.

she is dead because she was a meth head.

Dont do drugs, drugs are bad. except weed and beer.


Spleens? we dont need no freekin spleens.

Science Fair

Holy Crap! I'm usually just worried about road rash and hidden trash under the bridges. I've never given a second thought to my SPLEEN while skating the School. I'm sending Science healing thoughts this very moment. Hey Palmer, I can finally start making it out to the pool sessions in two more weeks. But in the mean time, it's more of this stuff:

Look for yet another ditch directory update as soon as this evening.

I was walking around thinking of ditches as I polished the bottom of the pool with my shoulder last nite.

Great vittles though. The last hot link was a little much....
