Hey Nina-
I was in Switzerland last summer for a Burning Wheels, and the Swiss girls were ripping it up. Then Brunner took me to Rikiblitz on the tram, and we carved down into Zurich until the cops came. Skating in Europe is definitely different than here, but still the same.
I just put together a speed board. It's a comet with Randal DH's and Avilas. It took a little getting used to until I could just tuck it, but having done that, I prefer slalom. There is more going on. You are thinking, cutting, dipping, swerving, and sliding.
It would be great if you could come to the States for one of the bigger contests, like Slalom Week or the Farm.
I'm looking forward to skating with Betty and Meg at the Luna Jam. Looks like that will be a fun race.

I'm going to Mississippi!
I'm really excited, cause I've never been there before. If it weren't for slalom, I don't think I'd ever go there. But why not? Sounds like fun!
Thanks Ricky.

Hey Greta,
Just curious to hear how your visit to Santa Monica went? Did you get to Revere or find any other good places? I'm just getting back into skating (not that I was so great to begin with) at age 36 and am going to Venice CA in August for a week.
Hope you had a blast!

Speaking of CA (last post), I'm going to be in Santa Monica for a few days the first week in March. Can anyone recommend some mellow hills or banks or parking lots? My old elementary school, Franklin, is under lockdown, as is Revere. I'm skipping the parks (too crowded) and just want to cruise and have fun.

Everyone starts skating in the same "place" and you should compare yourself only to yourself, while taking your own comfort level "baby-steps" to get better.
Learning slow is a good thing, 'cuz you'll skate longer without injury.
Biting off more than you're ready for can be awfully painful and rehab sucks...SO GO GIRL and keep on inching your way up, soon you'll be dropping 13 foot of vert-ramp............time is an amazing thing!
LATER SK8ERS!
GIRLS RULE TOO!

Isabelle,
You are the bomb! You are leading the way for the inclusion of more female skaters in all areas of skateboarding. This is what I have hoped for since I began skating in 1960. It is now taking place with you at the front of the pack. Welcome Girls/Women!
Thanks and much respect for you Isabelle,
Cliff Coleman

A hearty belated thanks for all the words of encouragement! Work got superbusy and I havent' been able to check back until now. All I have to say, is that if I could learn to drop in, ANYONE could! :) I'm still at it, inching my way up to the 6 foot mark, but I"m a slow learner. :) All you women who skate ROOL! If you get up to Seattle drop me a line and we'll go skate. :)

Many thanks for the offer, but I have all I need. Please pass them out as you see fit as I love the magazine and hope all women surfers can have access to each issue.
By the way, did you guys ever get the little box I sent Marie a few weeks ago? Miss you, Sasha :)

We're finally back in SD from Mexico; surfed-up a storm...3-4 foot, sneaker 5 foot sets - well overhead for 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!
Wet, flat SD sucks, but now that it's finally dried-up, it'll be great hitting the Y pools/downhill ALL WEEKEND LONG!
Smiles to all your ladies for 2005.

Greta- that's awesome! I have only been skateboarding a couple of years now, but when I first started I tried dropping in on a 4' ramp at a local park before it opened, we were still building ramps and I didn't have any pads on, and I kept leaning back... needless to say, I kept falling on my left knee (goofy footed) and to this day haven't really tried it again. I love ramps and ditches and pools, but I just kickturn and carve. I'm working on it. My girl Meg is starting to learn to drop in, and we help eachother out- we just learned some sliding this weekend together... it rocks having good people to skate with. You're lucky to have your buddy Jeff and his ramp ;)

Lauren-Glad you liked the article. Sorry it's been a while since I wrote. Hope all is well your way. Drop me a line when you have time.
Iz- If you have any more photos you want me to put up on your gallery page, just send them my way. Glad you had a good time on the Island, YOU ROCK! I just saw the little online newspaper article from NC. Looks good!
Greta- Keep up the good work and pretty soon you'll be droppin the vert like Isabelle!
To the lady who wrote in Portuguese, post it in French or English and folks from this forum will be able to understand it :)
Wishing you all a Super 2005!!!
