Thanks Ricky + Cliff. Well at the age of 45 years old I am still skating, who would have thought. Now the bummer part of being 45 years old. I found out this week that I tore the meniscus in two places on my left knee. Probably having surgery this week. May bail on the Red Clay Cup. I will miss everyone, especially my teamates. Hopefully I will be racing again soon. Time to eat some Birthday cake. Your Amigo Eddy Texas Outlaws.

Master's racing at Luna was a great success.
It was the funnest racing of the day! You should have seen McCree jump the gun in his 2nd race with Keith. Go to www.keithhollien.com to see some of the video clips of the gun jumping and more races.
Eddy Martinez was an honorary master. He was ten days from his forty-fifth birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDDY!

Ooooh! So nearly joining the ranks of the Masters...May 5th I will be one of this Elite group. Sadly as far as I know, I'm one of the first Brits in this gang, so I don't really have anyone to chat about the "Good 'Ol Days " with...Any Brits out there?

It's all about enjoying the stoke. Injuries are a part of everyday life, for some more then others. My ankle injury from last June is now finally coming around.
We will have had almost 100 kids thru the doors of my sk8camp this week and my body is aching mostly because I have not been able to sk8 very much due to the ankle injury last year.
Then moving and expanding the sk8park from 3,000 sq. ft. to 15,000 and I am still building because of no financing or strong backing. I have been able to have a few good races over the last couple of years. The stoke of racing no mater who it's against will never die.
So many great people anywhere. Have some fun. This year many more will catch up and surpass many of us. That's fine. That's what it's all about anyway. Pass it on. Show them the way. To many of you I want ti Thank for helping me find my way.

It's not so bad being a "Master". Age Happens! What's cool? The other day i got into the movies for less money as a senior, 55 and up. I'm retirement age. I can shop at Ross on Tuesdays and get the senior discount of 10%. What's not cool? Aches, pains, body breaking down etc, etc. The only way to beat age is to enjoy all of the years of your life.
SKATE TILL YOU CAN'T,
Cliff Coleman

Can someone or can anyone who is interested create a master's email list. If your not up on the posts and something comes up it should be emailed to everyone, we might get more / new riders comming to events. I hoping that maybe we can do some master events this year...You can email me and I be glad to send out info as I learn about it. Anyone got any other ideas....This could also run over to the NCDSA board, I'll bet a newletter could help?

The last time I raced was in Breck 2004. I am 30 lbs heavier than I was in the 2003 worlds. I was 48 then. I am 50 now. I'm up to 250 lbs.
Time is not on my side. I will be running cones at Luna. I will be partying in Paris.
Time to kick back and enjoy the show.
Keeping the show going is the best contest I can win.

Snow definitely gets in the way of skating. I guess I'll content myself with trying to ollie my longboard in the garage and scouting slopes and skateplaces on the net.;-)

Jack,
Nice post, glad you're on board. Lots of slalom racing in CO come spring. The CO pack is about the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Get ready for some over 40 fun and save some dough for your eventual slalom board purchases.
Right now though you might swap those krux trucks for some Randals. They are ultimately suited to carving and will surely boost your "fun factor".
And by the way, God is a long, wide, rambling 2 mile run with a bar at the bottom and a free shuttle to the top. I ride the longboard. (WORD)
AND
Jersey represent:
Kevin,
I rode Paved Wave, Webbers, Vineland, Long Beach Island, Somers Point, Cherry Hill, etc. Two things you should check out if you have not; CherryHillskatepark.com and the new Wally Holiday park in Sayerville.
A bunch of us old guys ride slalom up and down the east coast, sometimes near Red Bank. Let me know if you want to join.
Joe

December 26, 2004 - Denver, CO.
It was about four o'clock on the day after Christmas. Having taken the four largest of the brood (5 kids under 12 years of age) to Toys R' Us to convert their giftcards into the tangible, I grabbed pads, helmet and my sector 9 Bomber and headed out the door. I skated west ending up on the bike path at the new development at Stapleton. Finding a nice shallow double slope that went under a bridge I started carving it just for the heck of it. Up one side and back down the other, avoiding the occasional young jogger and their dogs. Other dad's were out with kids on new bikes looking panic-stricken at the geezer coming down the path at them only to see the look change to astonished relief as I silently cut a line right around them, letting them have as wide a berth as they needed, even having one Dad mutter a very quiet, "Cool board." Making a turn on a west facing curve the sunset caught my attention. The sun was just disappearing south of Mt. Evans and the sky had been painted pink, purple and gold, with shafts of silver-white light to highlight all. I stopped skating for awhile and just watched the slow transition from light to dark, drifting in my mind to a quiet place long forgotten. The streetlights began to flicker on and brought me back to earth. I mounted up and took my time skating home. I got home tired, peaceful and truly happy.
Cheers,
Jack Merica
