I don't know whose been in the family longer, my brother and I or the Redskin season tickets. Grandma would always go to the Dallas vs Washington game, those were her tickets. 3 Robert's and other grand kids, cousins, a bunch of knuckleheads she had to put up with. I had an odd conversation with this stranger on the chairlift about Frank Sinatra. Grandma was a HUGE fan. I don't talk about old blue eyes often but for some reason this guy and I were talking about the "Rat Pack". I would have called her for the answer to a question we had but the lift got to the top and he was gone. Later that afternoon I found out about my Grandmother passing. The World's a crazy place, somebody should sell tickets, I would buy one. Thank you for the kind words. She would want you to raise a glass.
The board is called "The Patriot". I've never seen anything like it. The boards coming from these guys are works of art. I keep getting updates from John at Street Swell and photo's of the boards he's making and just blown away by the beauty of these boards. I think everybody should have 1 vertically laminated exotic hardwood deck. I'm saving up.
Keith, Thank you for getting my Radikal hanger here so fast. Thank you, looking forward to racing it next week. The Concrete Wave Buyers Guide photo of your trux looks great. ColoRADIKAL.
Lookout must have gotten snow last night? I got 8-10 up here and more on the way. Ruppert get up here Sunday or Saturday night, and bring your harem.
Doug Dupin...the ORIGINAL crosstown hero! He stepped down so you other switch pushers could have a podium now and then.
Kevin, May 11th looks like the day for the "Vail Pass Time Trial" 6 miles of downhill to Copper. There could be (will be) snow in spots. Solo runs pea picked you against the clock. format will come. You should all try to make this. If it's a bust, which It will not be. I got lots of mountains to ride, not hills.
Marcotte, Ditch Slap?
Gotta go shred...

La Troisieme,
Thanks for the goods. Great story about running down the snappers. Sounds like they may have to build some fortifications. I'll climb into the attic to ferret out some Migration Touring Boards for you.
-Doug
RIP Grandma McKendry -sounds like she reached a ripe age despite a life comsumed by so many Roberts.

3 last night and maybe 10 tonight. It's about time to start complaining to the town about all the cinders on the road. The street cleaners have been working here and there but the roads are goin to be dusty til it rains. The runs have been hard and fast. Got my boots on but the light is pretty flat. I've been bombing the sharpshooters pretty hard. We got these guys who shoot photos of you skiing and they usually sit in the middle of the run and there's a sign b4 you get to them letting you know there around. So I ride fast and straight line these guys. They have there camera pressed to there face taking shots of me til the realize I'm not turning. I can get within 2 feet I'm guess 50-60mph really great way to get out my frustrations and give some kid from Mexico who just moved here somthing to talk about and a great photo. Those sharpshooters don't last long I know guys who do the same thing and we all tell war stories of spraying these nubes over shots during apres. I have several jackets and onepiece outfits to keep the sharpshooters guessing, they never know which ones guning em down. My grandmother passed away yesterday. Real fun lady, great memories. Grandma McKendry. Gone BOMBING

Joe, Thanx for the photo, I think I can name all but 2? DC I wil see you Im goin to make sure of it. Wow Ethan!! That's awesome! Skip you use to love riding your dirtsurfer? Yeh or was it we would sk8 to Copper and make fun of people? Digglers we called em. You can sk8 to Copper from the top (puking if your Molt) and go to a bar called Endo's and have a beer out in the sun. Pretty fun to pull up on boards after riding down the mountain 6 miles. So Brunson and I went Swiss Bobbing and we passed ski bikes all night, road til 10 pm cause I'm me I guess. Doin shots at Garf's between runs. I use to buy beer for the guy who know runs the lifts and gondy so he let us sneak on sssshhhhhhh. Ian you shredding? I gotta go to work...this moderating is cutting in to my on line porn time...Infamous! Gotta go make maple cheesecakes. Rick Diggler! I'm late... stop typing...miss ya'l..out ERIK!!!!! wow SCOOOOOOT

Australia looks wacky! Are they racing today?
And Rob, you forget we had another key element in the journey, going by the name EG. He held the camera. The whole time, we'd take breaks and Rob would barf. EG was throwing stick in front of people(Not just Rob and I) and it was pure sillyness. What other way should it be? I hope you can get work off. You guys will trip out when you come to my litte desert paradise.
