Yo Paul...I rode Ick sticks all weekend long...What led me to that brand, simple. Get the board you want...custom made by the man the myth the legend...Rick Howell...I've got three of them now and have a fourth on order. They are the sickest sticks out there and I've ridden quite a few different boards over the last few years.

By the way you looked great in lycra.

the Garage...
On 10/18/2004 Miko wrote in from United States  (69.19.nnn.nnn)

Yeah... I'm old and brittle. All the more incentive to get way out front and stay there. So I've called next tuesday 10/26 as a slalom session so I can give Ravi his Worlds medal for ts on sunday.

Are we good for a little garage poker-run action after a quick dinner maybe? READY FOR ROUND ONE HOMIES!?

I have to say, my little ts ICK-O-Shay rocks. Too bad I was senile enough to not bring it for the Worlds. Let's set a short 35-40 cone tight with some 5.5's and 5 footers, then another similar length course with some of those continuous staggered offsets like saturday's ti-brid at the Worlds...

Practice? You call that practice???
On 10/17/2004 Miko wrote in from United States  (66.81.nnn.nnn)

Hi John... no go tuesday; we're on for the following 10-26? 5:30pm. Probably followed by some hot and heavy parking garage racin' action! As for next year, it will be a select few races. More big SGS please!

I've gotten all the pdf's *except* overall results. I'd love to know how we all tallied up.

ICK brother Charlie has been having some back problems of late and is hopefully on the mend. Get well Charlie!

Went for my first ride at the Scotts Valley Skatepark yesterday... what a great park! Now to put together a few lines... maybe tuesday!

Mike - glad to see you do so well at MB
Miko and Judi already practicing? I guess it is just a few months before this all begins in earnest once again - I can't make this Tuesday to skate, but the following week I can - hey, why wasn't Ransom at MB? did Dan ever post the final race pdf?

Sunday...
On 10/15/2004 Miko wrote in from United States  (66.81.nnn.nnn)

Thanks Sam for the hub info and kind words. Sorry I ducked out on the party/dinner sunday night. I had to get up early monday to pick up my son, so I decided to get on the road and get home at a decent hour. I would have loved to have a nice dinner and hang with you all.

So today, I got out the Ick-o-shay and Judi and I ran some 5.5 footers up at her house. I NOW admit that my 20" w/b Carerra was just a tad long for that damned course! The Ick-o-shay on the 18" w/b just flew through it. Damn, damn, damn me for thinking we wouldn't face such a tight course! I can't believe I didn't bring it to Morro. Sorry Mr. Howell and my Ick brothers... I won't do THAT again! I did a little bondo repair on the nose tonight and will file/sand it tomorrow. It's getting a custom Evans-style paint job with the super-fine sanding etc.

Can't wait to get my Flattie back all re-concaved and buffed out so I can go race all those downhillers with it in our new poker-run parking garage series. A buck (or more if everyone's down) per race, winner takes each pot at the bottom of each run.

On 10/15/2004 mike maysey wrote in from United States  (64.208.nnn.nnn)

Thanks Kenny...you looked pretty damn good yourself, especially in the outfit on Friday...heheh....I'm on the ascent! Partying with you, Mark, Bobby and everyone else on Sunday was pretty cool. I never realized how funny you were. Maybe it was the beer talking!!! hehehe
Sam, as for that hub...there are many hubs out there that are flip-flop. I have one on my Bianchi...I just need a lockring on the side that I have the 19 on, although I probably won't use it since the 48-16 is plenty good for the LBC.

Hub
On 10/15/2004 SamG wrote in from United Kingdom  (193.203.nnn.nnn)

Miko, Goldtec in Wales produce the Flip Flop rear track hub that will allow for a different toothed sprocket on either side.
I was a little annoyed on Sunday's TS to find that your board had two speeds also. The first being 'fast!'



Thanks very much for lending me the pads and crash hat on Saturday; you more than deserved your win!

You looked good and kicked some ass last weekend. Nice to have you back. Evans coaching has put you right back on top. Keep it up.

Doh! Fixed gear eh? I'm curious if those two speed rear hubs are still being made? (The ones you changed gears by hitting the brakes?)

ICK Stuff...
On 10/4/2004 Miko wrote in from United States  (69.85.nnn.nnn)

Hey Mike... I really want to take your new GS board for a ride. I'm thinking about one more deck for the next year or so. I'll have two Carerras with different w/b and the Retro Flattie, but think I want something around 34"-36" with foam and camber. Can't wait to see it.

I think that matchup with Mollica is a good one. I'm riding with Gareth. Stoked... 4 days to Super G. I've been training on my newly repaved, top-secret 1/2 mile 40mph hill. I drove up to it a week ago and it was just redone. Amazing and SWEET. Can't set cones on it, but it's one of the best ever.

David, Mike... what's a fixy bike?

Spooning?!
On 10/2/2004 Miko wrote in from United States  (69.19.nnn.nnn)

Mike... Well, well... so now you've got cash. Just don't expect a happy ending ok big boy? Now I know who's been hogging up Rick's board building time dammit. He says he'll get mine done and bring it to me at the Worlds, but I'm probably going to just run the Retro Flattie. I'm stoked to have a bit longer w/b Carerra. See you late thursday night.

Watch out Worlds
On 10/2/2004 mike maysey wrote in from United States  (67.225.nnn.nnn)

Thanks Dave...I've been practicing my legs off since I moved down here. Riding a good variety of hills and courses. I also just got two new Icks about 2 weeks ago...one for hybrid and one for GS...they are the sickest sticks!!! Finally got a good session on the GS board today on a course which will hopefully be similar to the SGS on Friday...and my hybrid board will absolutly kill the course on Saturday. BTW, that's a great pic of you form Tunnel. Take 'er easy.
