Laura,
Let me know if you're ever in NorCal so we can hook up to skate. Don't know when you plan to head to the west coast, but let me know...
Sorry I've been slacking on returning emails..I promise to get on it.

Tai,
Judi Oyama does the slalom thing on Bernal Rd in San Jose

I was just wondering if there were any women that ride slalom in San Jose, CA. I'm a newbie to the scene so I was just seeing if there were any women that meet for rides.

Right on Patty,
we were super stoked you stayed the entire race to get all that footage and photos. I'm sure a bunch of people will look at those photos years from now and remember their first race.
I'd love the CD.
Good luck on your book. I'll buy one.

Congratulations Lynn for putting on such a cool grassroots event last weekend. I was glad I was able to shoot and film the contest. Everyone was ripping and having fun.
I'll be happy to give you a CD of all the shots I took for posting on your website. Eric will be posting the footage and some photos on his site also.
A shot of you will be used in "Skater Girl, Girls Guidebook to Skateboarding" book coming out in the Spring under Ulysees Press.
KAH-kooooo!!!~~~~~~~~~~

this should be alot of fun. Tiger and I set the lower course today, and it's highly make-able, but very pump-able as well. It's alot like the Luna Jam setup.

Kudos to Lynn and Camila for RIPPING their way thruogh the male dominated SlideFest event. They truely showed everyone there what we as females can do....
as for me?...I was OUT for the count due to too much practice the week before (I blew-out my lower back)...OUCH!! My contest day was spent walking up/dowm the hill, cheering, picture taking, just rallying in the fun, even if I couldn't skate - whaaaaaaaa
Feeling great today..always glad to be a DIVA!

It's a Byrd, it's a plane, it's a Henn!
On 11/30/2005 Laura wrote in from United States  (72.149.nnn.nnn)

I just want to come to California and skate. I am geographically ignorant but would like to try to hook up a sesh with Sasha La Rochelle... Don't know really how feasable it would be to skate SoCal and NorCal... Actually, I may just wait until the weather is nicer so she can take me surfing. :D I'm so out of shape I doubt I could paddle my fat butt out into the water... I don't know. I told Frank I want to come out there, now it's just a matter of doing it.
Lynn, I'd expect you to show me around and take me skating and drinking. (Not at the same time, I remember your rule!) Oh, and speaking of your love of small animals and children, wanna see my birthday presents? www.thebiggerpic.com/gallery/pugs

Do Henn's Fly?
On 11/29/2005 LYnn wrote in from United States  (66.27.nnn.nnn)

Hi Laura!
It would be great if you could come out. We are setting the morning course as a novice level course to get all the newbies used to racing. The grass roots scene has been huge in SD with Sunday sessions turning out 10-15 people!
Not that you need a novice level, but we're attracting the ladies that might not want to run the GS from the top, like YOU!

It's great to be here in the UK, no real slalom skating near us, but the skaters in London are great. There are many indoor and outdoor skateparks with all the goodies, and Katii and I are trying our hand at it all. New boards, new things to learn.... going from longboarding/carving to learning slalom was nothing compared to this business of dropping in, balancing on the coping (sp?)and all that jazzy stuff. I remember watching you ride that huge half pipe out in Hood River, and when I see one close to it here, I think "OH MY GOODNESS".. Please come and visit, we would love to skate with ya. (Katii and I will be racing in Sweden on December 10th) the trip is as easy as going to Georgia, How Bizarre!!

Boy, I've been gone a long time. Looking forward to Legoland Sunday 11:30. Hi to Woodcamp! Glad to hear you are allowed to skate now. Isabelle, let's skate Lorretta this weekend. Saturday? There's a swell, but we can't surf the WHOLE day, or can we?

On 11/21/2005 betty wrote in from United States  (216.45.nnn.nnn)

Now, before any potential sponsors take that whole, "sponsorship will kill skateboarding" thing I said wrong... What I mean is, sponsorship being the goal of skateboarders- it just ain't right... So, any free gear, money, etc. can be sent to: me. J/k. But seriously.

I agree with what some of you other ladies said about it not coming knocking on your door, but, I think it's a little ridiculous when I see the same kids skating the same tricks, making videos of themselves, and that's the only time you see them skate. IF there's a camera around. Stop me if I'm wrong, but isn't that just... I don't even know what I think of it. I don't guess it's pathetic, but, it isn't right...

sponsorship
On 11/4/2005 Laura Henn aka Betty wrote in from United States  (72.149.nnn.nnn)

My 2 cents: It's like anything else in life. Sponsorship will KILL skateboarding. It's not about free gear, it's not about money, it's not about fame and fortune- but wow, it's awesome that people can acheive that through DOING WHAT THEY LOVE. That's what its all about. If your focus isn't in the right place, it's OBVIOUS to EVERYONE who sees you skating that you are MISERABLE, and guess what? Desperation isn't attractive on ANYBODY. When you go out looking for Mr. Right, guess what? you don't find him. When you're short sighted to the point you can only see what you DON'T have, it's ugly. And skater girls who LOVE IT, man, that's hot.
