JRC - so you've ridden it then....? I've never seen anyone on it or in there, skate or otherwise. Holy cow, is it as hot on Maui as it is here on the big island? I'm thinking I need to be back in the water....

All us guys here in albuquerque should all pitch in for a golf cart so we can use it like a ski lift at the Indian school ditch. cause walking up that bike trail between tramway and juan tabo is a bitch.

I'll be slaloming with GI Joe and EP today (sunday) and will bring along the DVD. We may get some time on the coping if we're feelin' lucky.

Bear Video on DVD and MPEG
On 5/31/2003 GBMII wrote in from (143.182.nnn.nnn)

I've got the video from SLC Mikes camera on DVD and MPEG. It is 660 megs so I can't post. Anyone got a DVD burner they want to spin a few copies on? It's got runs by Rogers, Palmer (the beer run), Bulky, GBMII, Mike, Bowman, Ryan EP, CW and a few more, and the all important riders meeting.... It really shows how big that place is. And what a beautiful day it was (for most of us, Get Well Steve!). I'll have CDs of the mpeg file at Kona for whoever wants them.

Good luck at Breck boyz!!!!

I'll be in Atlanta for a very few days here in a couple weeks and any word on where'd be some cool skating would stoke me too.

This time tomorrow I'll be on my way to skatopia!!

Hawaiian ditches
On 5/30/2003 Kolu wrote in from (67.192.nnn.nnn)

Nate - I'll try and get a pic of it the next time I'm on Maui. Looking for a job over there, time to change islands again.

JRC - Were you giving the ditch a name - Wallos?? I thought that was the name of the one on the edge of the golf course in Hawaii Kai on Oahu.... Tell me more....

I'm a total newbie when it comes to ditches. Never actually skated one, but would like to extend my terrain from street cruising and mix it up a little bit. I always wondered how to deal with the angles/lack of transition... Suggestions??

GA and SC
On 5/29/2003 hugh r wrote in from (24.48.nnn.nnn)

Actually the final destination is right out side of Columbia SC... one of my kids graduates from bootcamp in august.

So I am flying into Atlanta several days early and am hoping to get some bank or ditch skating in. If some slalom is going on, I'd love to come check it out too (not really interested in wiggling myself, though if there were a longboard cone running event, I'd most likely be up for that) But either way, I would like to come check out your scene.

I am flying in late on the 12th and will be in that part of the country for a week. HR

Maui?

Anyone ever skate the ditch that's just outside Lahaina? I stare at it every time I'm there, and even brought my board last time I was on Maui from the big island, but haven't skated it yet. But it calls me....

Austin Powers?
On 5/24/2003 Steve in AZ wrote in from (130.13.nnn.nnn)

It ain't easy bein' Itallian, Arab. You only wish you had a sweet patch like me. Puberty passed you by, eh, Arab?

;-) bwahahah...

The arm is healing, but the hair don't make it any easier. Now I know why cyclists shave their legs.

Seriously, thanks for all the concern. I'll be back on the slalom and longboards in a week or two. Thanks (I think) to Kaylee for posting, but really for his documentation of the local ditches around the country.
