Lenny-Casual Skate Jam In January Here!

Lenny-Dude, I talked with Dave G and were thinking about getting everyone to come here to Statesville and ride some Saturday in January (depending on the weather of course). Wesley Tucker is going to come up from SC. You guys can crash at my house. Our local spot would be perfect for some slalom, carving, and just plain ol fun riding. Nothing real steep or real fast but a fun place to ride with almost no traffic. We also are going to scout some other spots as well. We will be able to set up cones for GS/Hybrid/Tight. The local crew is not into slalom yet but they are all itching to try. We actually did some slow Super G like stuff on Saturday.
You WV boys can crash at my house Saturday night. Wife said she will cook us breakfast on Sunday (the woman can cook). There is also a sports bar within walking distance of the house that we can all hit that night. They have good food and cold beer. Check and see which weekend works best for you.
Hope you can make it to the "Statesville Winter Skate Jam".
Anyone else on here that is within driving distance that wants to come skate and hang out drop me an e-mail or post yours on here. The skating terrain is all pretty much beginner stuff but fun. Nothing super fast. Top speed for me on the main run has been about 35 mph. That night, anyone that wants to skate uptown on Urban Assault Patrol can break out the street, slide, or longboards and we can ride then too! Or drink beer.....
Dankdownhiller: Look at your calendar and let me know what weekend works best for you with the kids. We are going to get all the local crew out!

Dank Dude! : Missed you being there. Super D, Justin, Holly (Justin's new skater chic), and Rookie came out. Justin brought his still camera and Super D brought the DVD Video. Rookie was the photographer. It was great. Right when we were loading up a herd of deer came through looking at us like, "hey, what you are doing here?" It was hilarious. Sorry you didn't make it....but Asheville rocks.
Dude, you should have seen Holly coming down the back stretch on the Green Latern. I have the Gumballs on there now and well, let's just say, Rookie was filming thinking she was going to bust the whole way but she maintained. Justin was coming down behind her on his monster board and I could tell he was afraid she was going to splat.
We got the cones out and set up a Super G down the backstretch and Super D and I put the Bozi's through their paces. We then set up a tight and I broke out the Attilla Response. Rookie got some footage and Justin snaps some pics. I haven't seen any of them yet but Justin left a message on my phone saying they turned out sweet.
We bombed the center run as well and got vid of that. We tried to come down together for the vid but I was behind Justin and wasn't paying attention and busted. It was pretty funny.
It is going to have to warm up now to ride but hopefully we can get the crew together soon. Call me when you get a chance. Got to tell you about the new crew name and website we are kicking around.

I'm not the only only whose birthday falls right in the holiday season! I turned 31 a week ago.
John D, please pass mine and Jenny's congrats to LBK. They don't make them much cooler than that family.
NCL, we've gotten a good dusting, and some cold temps (weather.com was calling for -6 tonight), but not too much of the white stuff yet. Over in Dave G's neck o' the woods, there's plenty though!

Tom Meakin: Happy Birthday Dude! Hope you had a great day. 18 huh? I was 18 once many a moon ago. Glad to have some youngblood in the longboarding ranks!
Thanks for the thoughts on Dad. He is in rehab for a couple of weeks but seems to be doing good. He wants out of that place...his quote "There's a bunch of old people on here." He's 78! I laughed so hard....
Have a great Christmas and Boxing Day Tom!

Hey!! I'm 18 today!!!! yey!! so am i officially the youngest poster here or not? :P good to hear that your dad is well NCL, and what's up with the abundance of posts from all? Normally this thread is real quiet lol. I wish i could skate some banks, they just dont do them right in the UK unluckily for me, but at least now i am perfecting some controlled leaning out hand-skimming turns at speed on my bigbug, proper speed controll should come soon i hope. I get really confused with your temperatures (fahrenheit compared to celsius), but here it is 0->8 degrees max now, so... umm... 32(if that s freezing for you) to around 40something. Is there anything i can do to improve the traction of my 83mm 78a (i think) flywheels? they are nice and grippy once warm, but they are hard and slippy when cold, would grooves help do you reckon?
merry christmas all :)

ok,ok, I just want to skate! LOL. The age thing for the female gender is a tough one. I spent half my life going for the "american dream". I hate the american dream. I am now trying to do what I have always wanted to do (within Limits of course) After all, I still have a spouse, and kids. Trying to get the spouse to ride with me. The kid already does. He's the reason I am riding. I am one of those people that when I find something I like, I go for it. Sooo, my next project is a pool board set up. any comments? probably I should visit the pool forum. You guys are great and I am glad I found my stoke! and a cool forum to express my stoke LOL. Ok, the suns out, roads ae dry...........

Ha ha! I'm 42! You're a young chic! So are you saying I look old as dirt? LOL I was a major mtn. bike freak until I spilled hard hucking off of a drop at Fontana and performed a beautiful two feet over the handle bar dismount with a one point landing on my head. Doc said he would quit repairing me and wife said she would leave me if I got back on a mtn bike....so I went back to skating instead!!!!!
Kokopelli on a Mtn Bike...that rocks...maybe with the letters MOAB faint in the background in the shape of mountains....
Sounds like you got the pintail hooked up. That good huh? ......

Rock on dude. Thanks for the thoughts on Dad. Dude, if you need parts for your BMX try www.firstflightbikes.com. It is the shop I used to race mtn. bikes for and the owner Jeff specializes in vintage gear. That shop looks like a museum. Jeff and Wes are both great guys there.
Man, I can just see you skating by the biker bar! That is hilarious. Hope it warms up for you soon. Its cold as a witches' t*t in a steel bra up here!
Have a Very Merry Christmas!

Hey Bro! I have been away from this post for just a week and I was glad to here that your pops is doing better! Your not going to believe this but I've been busy trying to restore my old , (I'm getting scared just posting this!)BMX bike! It's a WEBCO replica circa 1979! WHEW! I've said it and now it's off my chest! Well anyway its a bit chilly down here in central Florida but I did manage to get some downhill action near a place called (get this) HOWEY-N-HILLS.
I skated near a fish camp next to a biker bar on little lake Harris. It's was about 50degrees out in the morning but it felt alot colder going down the fresh new blacktop!Just wanted to say hello to you and wish you and all my LONGBOARD BRO'S a safe and fun Holliday season! G-Flash (soon to be CW cover boy!)

Vegas has ditches? I am heading down to mesquite after xmas and I would love to know were those ditches are. I just set up a new pintail and I can't wait to try it out. Hey NCL, glad to hear your pop is doing good. amazing what modern medicine can do nowdays. And are you a nuts or what. I thought I was the only old-timer that has gone crazy over my new-found sport. LOL. Keep it up. Ride on and merry christmas.
