Thanks to Lenny Poage, our charter member from the land of the Mothman, there is a small article about the DownHill Billies first skate jam in the latest issue of Concrete Wave Magazine! I haven't seen it yet but Sumdumsurfer from Madrid Skateboards dropped me an email to let me know he saw us in there!
Yeah Lenny, my face is incredibly sore after every skate jam from smiling for 8 hours straight!
The DownHill Billies grow and grow! Don't you want to be a part of it?

Marion, Glad I could make it to practice on Saturday. Sorry I had to leave so early but wedding stuff comes first right now (at least to my bride it does). I'm planning on being there for the May 15th meet. If you need help with anything let me know. Everybody should bring slalom/longboard equipment that we no longer use so we can do some selling or swappin. See youz guys in a couple of weeks!

Jake, Dude, it was great to meet you man. You are shredder and will fit right in with the crew. Glad you can make it! Good luck with all of them younguns!
DHB Crew: Jake is one of us bros...shows up and jumps right in pulling some cool stand up slides, carving big on his Original, and trying out some slalom boards and the Bozi.

You're too kind. Of all the things used to describe the smell of the likes of me, burnin' 'thane is by far the best. LOL

The website is rocking!! I'm full-on stoked. I think you said you had plenty of me, but if you need more, let me know and I'll email them out (a wife supportive wife + a digital camera as a wedding present = tons of still shots and dig. video clips). Marion, email me your mailing address. I have some discs that need to be returned.
Chicago- Dave G's plan sounds awesome to me.
Next Jam/road trip opportunity- Up until the Gathering, I'll be busy as a ... (insert any one of several ends to that saying), but after that, I'm home free (except Memorial Day weekend). I think it'd be awesome to do something on or near 6/21, since that's National Skate Day. In addition to the hill (great stuff), I'm WAY stoked to skate the streets of Statesville with y'all as well.
Dave G, email me. You mentioned something about a chance to skate Fayetteville?
If you haven't done so, see "Sin City." I just got back and that flick is my favorite movie since "Pulp Fiction."

DHolt and Rookie: Dang boys, I am going to buy you some grub at the Thai place this week in thanks for the efforts on the website today. Let me know if you guys and do lunch. Have your agent call my agent.
Dave G: DHolt and I talked about this morning and we think the DHB crew needs to come help you with your race this year. We can help with set up, cone heading, traffic control, whatever....I am sure there are several of us who will come up and just make a LARGE time of it. Just let us know what you think.
Rock on Bros and Sistas! The DownHill Billies Rocket Ship is about to take OFF!

Rookie lowered the bit rate on the video to allow for dial up and much less buffer time. Plus we just added three new videos to the site on the video-photos page. So go back and check them out.
Photos coming next.

Rookie and DHolt: Dudes, the site is awesome and going to be incredible when complete. Thanks goes to Rookie for stepping up to the plate and getting it going. Rookie, give me a shout tomorrow and lets talk about upgrading our account so we have more bandwidth..that should help with the video upload and stuff. DHolt..thanks for printing the shirts today and helping with the website. For those of you waiting on shirt delivery (Fatboy and Mark Jackson in Vegas to name a couple) I will put them in the mail to you Monday.
Hobby Park: Shout out goes to Wesley Tucker who drove up from South Carolina and Gary Saenz who came down from Virginia to ride Hobby Park Soap Box Derby Hill in Winston-Salem. We set up a tight slalom on the run out and a duel lane hybrid on the steep side. We were out there for over 4 and half ours. A special shout out goes to the newest DownHill Billy, Jake from Greensboro who showed up and joined right in on the fun. Dude, Jake fits in with our crew and I am looking forward to having him over to our next skate session. He has the sliding thing going on. The weekend of May 15th is a target for an Outlaw race there at the Park..stay tuned for further details. Tucker and Gary both had their cameras so I am sure there will be some pics from today's riding. I bombed the hill from the top with my new Flywheels on the Bozi and holy moley is that hill fast!
DHB Stuff: We need pics of all of the downhill billies for the website. If you can please either email them to one of the following:
rookie@downhillbillies.org k arr@downhillbillies.org dholt@downhillbillies. org
Dave G and Lenny: We need to get you back down here when you can...let us know what it looks like for you...and we need to talk about Chi Town!
Later Maters! Got to go do chores now...the small price to pay to skate all day!

Expect a little wait for the video but it is well worth it!! some pages are still under construction but the home page is interavtive with a great five minute video, guestbook for posting, and brief bio. on the downhillbillies.(we are working on buffer time.) big shout out to web master rookie who has brought all of our ideas togather in his ongoing design of downhillbillies.org. So go check out the latest version of whats to come from the downhillbillies
just got a call from web master rookie saying dial up connections may have a problem getting connected today. But he has reconfigured the bit rate of the video to allow dail up and a lot less buffering time. this fix will be uploaded by tomarrow. Thanks to all the billies for their patience and support.
