the race is in masonville, near ft. collins. We'll be meeting @ 8:30 @ dubes' house off prospect in the fort. I will email you more detailed directions later this afternoon. I'm hoping to have it rapped up by 11 am before the snow. Hope to see you guys there.
Will NOT do the Masonville race but be at Vail pass Sunday am... Gas is TOO F*#KING expensive to do both. No camping too cold... See Y'all Sunday!

I think Sunday it's going to break. I rode the course yesterday and had a blast. There's some snow and the bridges are wet but after we take a run you'll be stoked. Over the 6 miles I had to walk 10 feet. It has been plowed and can't be any better for all the surrounding snow. I'm going to be up there @ the butt crack so if you want to call me early Sunday to get a report please feel free. 970 688 1547

I just got in. Sleeping bag is being washed and it needs it! I'm not goin camping, I haven't been home in a while.
Ditch Slap was a blast as usual and great to see everybody down there. I only ran in the Chine Knees Ditch Race and had marbles thrown under my wheels and was also smoke screened with flour. I was laughing so hard I almost fell. I just wanted to say thanx real quick, I gotta go do laundry. Thank you Timeship.
Lot's of great stories to tell.
Mother's Day Sunday May 11th Vail Pass Rest Area at the Top 9 AM.......more details to come....

GMR, Lookout Mt and Copper Mt in one day

Thank You for getting me to the airport on time this morning Cooper and Calahan! You guys saved me and thank you. After leaving my phone at Jimmy's on our way to GMR, nice move.
So I get into DIA and get my last 20bux in gas in hopes to get home. With all my gear in the car I couldn't pass by LookOut without hitting it the same day as GMR. Beautiful day in Denver today but real windy up there. Snow in the shade up top and quiet in the pines, and real windy at the bottom. There is a sign saying the road is closed on the 3rd from 8am to 1pm just to let ya know, bike thing.
I looked into the valley as I drove up Copper and saw the path from Vail had been plowed. Pretty cool because we've been gettin tons of snow, even last week. So from the top of the rest area to Copper has 3-5 foot snow on each side of the bike path for 5 miles, really wild to make turns on pavement surrounded by snow. There is some runoff and I walked a couple spots but I think we should still run it May 11th.
The winner of the cation contest is IanC. Doug, I thought we would have trouble getting whom ever the board but I think his mailing address is online at www.kebbek.com.
Thank you for all ya'll for getting me round last few days and please stop by so I can return the hospitality. There were so many highlights on this one. Skatespots, old friends, ok a couple new ones, Abec 11, Sector 9, watching some of the best sk8ers in the World destroying wheels! Dump Rd. that place smells funny? So John Rogers and K-rimes in my first heat, lucky me. Ever see those guys on a hill? I think I moved a lil bit and they were gone, not much draft on Kevin with a 3o mph crosswind and his tuck. Too many people to thank but the Flindt's let me cook and drink and sleep and drove me around. Yeh Mercado drove heaps too if I wasn't behind the wheel while he skated (or sat in the back drinking iced tea). You should all sk8 DC sometime with Smallwood and Dupin.
Cali series is so damn cool! Eeeerbody out there props for putting on these events, too much fun. Fast Cali old schoolers and kids who are making names for themselves mixin it up on legendary hills.
Rad to see the Kludy Dynasty still flying. Hard to tell ya apart on the hill, but dad's gotta much bigger board.
Thank you to Justin and Cooper looking forward to turns in the high country.
Dunn thanx for getting the board to me and Europe, that still hasn't sunk in....
37 years old and the folks still let me borrow the car to go sk8
If my unemployment check gets here this week see ya at Ditch Slap. Guess I'm driving?

Updates from LA

Bpeck here... been chilling in LA for the last few days with Rob, K-Rimes, James Kelly, and some friends from the Colorado crew at Jimmy Flindt's place (big big big thanks to Jimmy for giving us a place to crash and showing us some awesome hills). Rob's cooking some food now and wanted me to post in place of him to update all the fans with what's going on.
Saturday we got up early and hit a really rad GMR sess with a big crew of locals. After a few runs we headed out to Malibu to session some of the best roads I think any of us have ever seen. Wheels were killed, legs were sore, but everyone had the time of their lives.
Today was the outlaw race at Dump Road. Some hefty tailwinds made for interesting racing conditions. The results ended up with Dave Rogers taking the win, John Rogers in 2nd, James Kelly in 3rd and GMR local Tim (sorry, I don't know his last name) rounded up the final in 4th. Consi's were K-Rimes in 5th, Andrew Mercado in 6th, Andrew Sawyer in 7th and Nick Meehan in 8th. The Rogers Bros were seriously killing it all day, proving to all us young'ns that experience can play a tremendous part of racing.
If you ever get the chance to eat food that Rob has cooked, do it up. Here at Jimmy's we've been spoiled with McKendry meals and they just get better and better. Maybe after he cooks us another he'll be able to hop on and post some more interesting stuff but until then, this is all ya get!
