Funny stuff, not that funny !
On 2/12/2007 Kludy wrote in from United States  (216.70.nnn.nnn)

I was thinking this past weekend that if I was to go to Texas for a new sport that I should get in shape and learn how to do it. Have not done much of anything in over 5 months so sat. I was running by my house and came off the new slalom board and turned my ankle and whent straght to my hands. Spraned my left ankle and right hand, then the dumby that I am started working out hard and straned my chest and back.I can only smile every time I move or walk thinking to myself, what a dumby!
Are we not suppose to get smarter with age ? I was trying way to hard.

Texas and Masters
On 2/8/2007 Kludy wrote in from United States  (68.8.nnn.nnn)

Is there alot or some guys and women going to be at the Texas slalom e-vent over say 40 ? Tried of dealing with young bucks wanting to win and cant ride, I LOVE THEM ALL AND TEACH WHAT i KNOW BUT THEY SCARE THE HiLL OUT OF ME. Ha, ha! Got to get over that I know but for now just want to ride my skateboard with people that has seen as much as myself.I am back and forth with this e-vent. Never traveled to a slalom race , alot of money and dont know if I can even compete. With the cones that is ! Its funny, never thought about my age untill I saw my kids growing into adults over nite and my love for them really showed me my real age. To grow up does not mean I have to put my skateboard away, just find other ways to ride it. GOT ME A REAL SLALOM BOARD NOW.

Master ?
On 2/7/2007 Eddy Texas Outlaws wrote in from United States  (70.115.nnn.nnn)

I do not consider myself a master. Just some guy who is 46 yrs old and stills loves to skate. Am I all beat up body wise. Oh Yea. I still smile after a slalom or bombing session. I may wake up in the morning and my feet hurt, but I go out and do it again. Why because I love to skate, not at the level of some of the top riders, but I am there. Riding scared when you are hauling ass down a hill still scares me, but it still lets me know that I am alive. Your Amgo Eddy Texas Outlaws/Team Pavel

If you have to use MasterCard to get to the races, does that make you a Master? Seriously, I'm not racing anymore cause I maxed all my cards!

Ladys Masters
On 2/5/2007 Kludy wrote in from United States  (216.70.nnn.nnn)

Cat your my kind of lady and smart too. I saw you at the pump station a few week ends ago and you where so smart to have all the right pads. I asked you about them and you told me if you could get more pads on you would. Thats safe clean fun right there. Look forward to doing slalom again, the older I get the more I look at slalom. 1st run at the Dump road Outlaw race I had to come out of tuck, way fast and scared the crap out of me. I was thinking too much at the start of the day. You should go to the L.a. race next week end and ck out downhill

Hey Mac,

It's actually a conspiracy we have orchestrated from coast to coast to keep your sons from practicing and getting any faster.

It appears to be working.......

If that goes for downhill riders I may have just joined the club.Dont know if thats a good thing or bad thing but unthing I can do about it but maybe take up slalom.I guess if I am still riding at 45 thats a good thing. Need to go skate ! January 15, 1962 and started riding a 2x4 in 1968, WOW I am getting old.

Longboarding
On 1/27/2007 Dan wrote in from United States  (69.182.nnn.nnn)

45 and living in Connecticut. Skater since 1975. Still have every board I ever bought or permantly borrowed and they are hanging in my den. I am searching for some old schoolers in the Hartford area to longboard with on the weekends. Is there anyone out there? Downtown Hartford is utterly vacant on the weekends (especially in the early mornings). Nothing too extreme, but feel the need to just roll around with those who experienced the 70's. Let's ride!

Thanks Adam. I'm sure you've heard this podcast by now. It's an hour long and it could use some editing(I should talk :P ) Anyways, have a listen and fast forward through all the concrete wave stuff :P

Malakia said he'd work for ncdsa in a heartbeat if he didn't have to quit his SF job . Yes .... i'm joking but nevertheless the industry is getting a breath of fresh air from somewhere.

Can you feel it brother?

could it be sector 9?

i have a feeling it's the same as it ever was. the skaters will always speak louder than the mfg's in the long run. and mix and match equipment will keep the market honest and hopefully not so unservice oriented.

I think it's a season to turn turn turn and join forces ... cuz itz all good?

i'm forever a ncdsa fan and I appreciate all you've done . be nice to get you in these podcasts too.... Y0! if i can stomach howie stern, i'm sure i could live to hear the voices of our industry here and there thru skateboard media broadcasts where the text comes alive and we hear the personalities in full force :) e.g. Brooks! bRILLIAnt!

Cheers mate
cYa
