Switzerland
On 7/14/2008 mc3 wrote in from Switzerland  (80.218.nnn.nnn)

The TSR top is so comfy, cooling, and sexy. France was real chill eerbody just smiling and bombing a beautiful road. Thanx to all the folks who made that event so special, Thank you Koma! The best field I can remember too. I became a quick spectator and the battles were amazing. Kevin's predrift's are jaw dropping, such control. The Tour De France and rain maid us bug out to Switzerland, no wonder World Champions and so many great sk8ers are coming from here. You gotta go over a Pass to get milk on the most beautiful pavement Swiss francs can buy. Time to dry out before the next one. The whip is in the shop, we lost brakes at Peyragudes and 5th gear is...well we ain't got one. Hope I don't have to break out the thumb.
Callahan, Which side did ya do, and any other run's?

Nice job boyz! Thanks for keeping us posted and keep up the good work. Price, sounds like you are holding your own fairly well for a lightweight. Rob, have you been sporting your new TSR rash guard? It might be Gay here but I think in Europe it's acceptable (still gay). Does Brianne wear hers?

Peyragudes Results
On 7/11/2008 me wrote in from France  (82.127.nnn.nnn)

first Krimes, Scoot, Martin, Mike Z

Great racing!!!!!

Me...Me, Budro, Lundberg, Liam...While I was running 4th in a close race, Jeff went into the hay, Liam ran into Jeff, I made the turn clean. Here's the rule: if you come off your board you can kick, I didnt come off so Liam and Jeff played the game right and kicked past me. I guess I should have crashed so I could kick. Still smiling!!! Lotès of actione!!! Stupid rules! Time for the PARTY! More my speed.

Christiania was rad!!! Hash evrywhere, and bars of it. Andreas and I hauled ass thru Ger,any and qre currently at Peyragudes with the cast fro, all over the World. The hill is really cool, crappy pavement big sweepers, tight hairpins and big smiles!!!! The usuall guys are fast and the new kids don,t know how to slow down. I figure I,ll hang for a few rounds let the kids crash chasing Dalua, and maybe advance a couple. Sometimes you have to go slow to go fast; Lots of love around here today will see after 3 more weeks and less bathing. Looking out the windoe at the French Alps ready to grab a beer and some frog legs. John I,m just signing for everything, Street Swell should get the bill in a couple weeks! Hey check this key out§§§§§ more practice tomorroe; Skunkwerx

travel day
On 7/6/2008 mckendry wrote in from Sweden  (83.226.nnn.nnn)

Got some freerides in last night with a good sized crew, bout 20 guys and girls. Some 'mericans, swede's, World Champions, some buttboards...good times; cept for Oscar, broken leg. So no race but think Lundberg was the safe bet. So motor's in the v dub and we'll see how far it gets today. I'm on Radikals and Josh's carbon foam core. This is Kalahani country so I should pick up a set of those while I'm here. Those boards look sick and the Black Cross boards are alsö perty. Price is on some new Madrid wheels and the yellow sector 9's are everywhere.
Hope to get to Christiania today.

I need to pack
On 6/30/2008 mckendry wrote in from United States  (168.103.nnn.nnn)

I'm having my last BUDweiser for a while. I'm using the list I made for my trip to Kludy's house in Jan? Joe Lehm told me a spell back to get a clip board and that's helped heaps. I make a list and now I've got list's just laying around, shoes, underwear, leathers, boards, money. Now getting ready to leave for a month, my floor looks like the scene from Escape From NY where Kurt is getting ready to go in. Lots of weapons and wheels. WOW this is a literal trip. Sleep at the airport and fly First Class! I gotta get to the airport to sleep on the floor and then fly First Class, did I mention First Class to Stockholm. The tickets come via a company producing carbon fiber race boards; Skunkwerx Racing.
Gotta go pack, gotta, gotta do so many things that don't involve typing on this computer.

There's no way I'm going to be ready to leave...it's a week from today?!!! My list; Skateshops in town are paid, Insurance is paid, rent, I have no $$$ for Europe!!!! So stoked Sector 9 came thru with the wheels thank you. 4 races in 1 month in a different country each race. I still don't have a board, hah! the World's a crazy place. Bola I hope to see the new shops soon, thank you again All Board Sports.
Sorry to see George Carlin pass. I use to sneak into my dad's albums from the early 70's and play them over and over. He was a smart man.
I gotta go get ready.

Justin is responding very well to the cards and notes he has received from friends and family. He's remembering names and people and it seems to spark his memory when he recognizes a name or a picture or something specific. Although he can't answer you yet if you know him please send him a card, a note, a picture, something. Use the hospital address:

Harborview Medical Center
PATIENT: Justin Metcalf
325 Ninth Avenue

Rick I hope you had a good weekend and say hi to your fam for me. The year is only half over and we've got some BIG events to come. Dude I had a blast back at your place in Feb, thanx again for hosting everybody. I'll give you a ring this week. My shipping address is PO BOX 154 Vail, CO 81657 thanx Rick, for everything.

The Maryhill saga continues, from not everybody getting in, to protesters and sponsors and who knows what's next?

Anybody who wants to shred this weekend is welcome to come up, call me or post so we can decide which direction to go in.
Nick I have the gate codes now to the neighborhood with all the switchbacks...the hill you sk8ed behind my restaurant.
Smallwood sorry to see you back out. If they throw poop, throw it right back.

Nick, take your board to El Salvador. Sweetest pavement in the Americas and plenty of peaky volcanoes.

Jim, come ride with Doug and I....the terrain will surprise you. We're riding Saturday for Go Skateboarding Day.

Mc3, backing out of Europe. Going to Senegal for NatGeo to film chimpanzees that have figured out how to fashion sticks into spears and use them as weapons. Somehow it doesn't seem far removed from downhill racing, just a different kind of primate!
