Most people have a unique "tell" or "dead giveaway" as to when they've had too much punch at the company party. "I love you guys". hah ha ha oh. There's drunk dialing and now I come to and there's milk and cookies all over my laptop?

That's what it's all about. I mean just brings back that old school feeling of what do you do with all this snow? You play in it! That's pretty to cool to see the progression from front yard jibbing to the BIG hill and the better learn how to turn there's a car coming! Thank ya boys and hope you continue to shralp the gnar gnar. Grab a Swiss Bob from Skip, his is trick. Merry Christmas , thanx for that.
Dubes and I shralped the gnar today @ Beaver Creek. Pretty fun to finally stay in front of Dubester on a board. Kid was hard charging on my 168 and was to fun to put him thru his paces (damn kid kept though). Great snow today and really rad to see Brent on his way to live in the house that will generate champions. Ok so Brent, Louis P, theAmerican Dream, and maybe JoshR, maybe Kev, ...not fair ya'll gonna rip! Have fun smelling each others dirty socks and ripping hills all over Cali.
gotta nog off big day on the hill
peace, I do Love you all, sleep well, see you on the top.

Right back at ya Ethan and you would laugh to know, yes I'm shredding, in 15 degree pow.
Out riding my bicycle tonight in the blizzard. Really fun to coming flying into an intersection while everybody in there cars is white knuckling thru traffic. I can put my snowboard on a rack that I've made and lock up at the base of Beaver Creek, pretty bitch'n. Great for hitting the bars also, but I haven't found that chick that thinks I'm as cool as I think I am.
Dubes get here, that's it. You know my house is your house. But on Christmas Eve you will have to join me as I go carolling thru the town. I like to put on my mistletoe belt buckle and chug gallons of nog while tracking Santa on the NORAD website. Would you like me to make you some sandwiches?
Mail your cards ya'll!!!
Gone to ride my bike to the bar and see if I can't find some sad, lonely, woman who doesn't want to be alone for Kwanza. I can't keep waxing my board.
peace

Rob, Cant wait till you come out for Barret. Bring your snowboard, we will do a night session locally. I went last night and it was epic. We got 2 feet of the fresh stuff over night and thats pretty f#@!ing good for LA mountains!!!!!!! The dump was SICK. Super hard racing. Somehow I managed to beat everyone in sunglasses, an open face helmet, Indys and 10 plus year old cherry bombs!!! DE-EVOLUTION MAN!!!!!!

with love,
Mercado

So lots of snow here and not much sun, I think it's getting to me. It's been way cold as well so getting out to ride the last couple days didn't happen. And the Holidays just mess everything up! I'm so broke and have to tell you all don't expect much this year. I wish I could buy you all new leathers or load your stockings with bearing lube but times are hard. I was gonna try and piss and moan about how I can't afford presents or pay bills but things are tuff all over. I don't have other mouths to feed or kids to try keep happy during the Holiday. I'm not far from my family fighting to not get shot or blown up. I guess my broken down car and piling bills or crappy apartment will be ok. I just wanted to kick these blahs and friggin get on with it!!!
The Garmin Forerunner is so RAD for snowboarding. You can utilize more of the info and it's mind bottling how fast you can go with no chatter. Hope to see some of you cats out here to shred, we got snow.
Dupin, I'm coming to crash in the museum during the inauguration and we gotta get IanC of Montreal that Migration Longboard. Sorry I missed the Dump and still haven't seen the results, I know Muffins won and that's all that matters. I'm still gonna try and make Barrett and DC's Birthday Carnival of Destruction. I was so fortunate to skate big fast roads all over the World with you people this year and that makes me rich. gone rid'n

NO WAY!!!!
On 12/10/2008 mcKendry wrote in from United States  (67.174.nnn.nnn)

So check this out...I moved my computer 8ft into the hallway and found the internet!!! I'm hooked up again. This is way better than goin to that lame coffee shop down the road. It's darn cold out there too. I like too ride my bicycle in the winter round town. I've got a "claw" for a front tire and ride to the chairlift but it's to cold.

I got the first prototype trucks from Skunkwerx and drove west bout 30 minutes to a parking lot without snow. I'm not suppose to say much but I tested them they work and they look very space age. I hope to get permission to show them but my time was brief before having to send them back for further testing.

It's time to start slowboarding but the bones aren't ready yet. I would have liked to have gotten out there for the Dump this weekend to warm up a bit. I gotta start thinking bout shredding for the next four months. I hope to get out to Barrett and Kludy's race next month.

gone ridn

Sick pow day
On 12/4/2008 robmc3 wrote in from United States  (63.227.nnn.nnn)

Yeh it's dumpin up here. Vail is the biggest ski resort in America and we have fluffy pow with the most runs open in the World. huh huh...I'm stoked the Cali series lives on. What a cool bunch of Outlaws to put on these outlaws events and let us Rado kids get warm and take home trophies!

Dubois, I still have no recon on the state of GJ, I should give Tyler a call. I werk this weekend and have started to pick up more shifts so I'm not done til say the 20th? Cheech and Chong are playing Denver that night. Are you driving out to the Dump?

Huey, One of the best Bobber's ever happens to live in Portland and I know he has a pretty trick Bob in his garage. He also has some hardware in his leg. Look into taking one up to Hood.

I hope to get out there for ASR and Barrett Junction and Flindt you better get down to Rick's that weekend to help me drink all his beer.

gone rid'n

Little angry tiny Tim, don’t get your skirt all in a twist. I cant speak for Rob, but I have been to California, two words, Arnold Schwarzenegger, can you say “bail Out.” Isn’t it really about “just getting along” and a little thing we like to call gravity? Peace Brother

Pryo Pucks are Scary!
On 12/1/2008 GI Joe wrote in from United States  (65.19.nnn.nnn)

Pyro Pucks are made for scaring the general public as well as the guy next to you in that sick right hander. He'll give you some room if he's wearing cotton or lycra, leather isn't as flamable. We toyed with calling them "Prescribed Burn" pucks but Brunson wouldn't approve because he said that if someone accidentally lit up the hills of Bonelli or Maryhill they could blame us. This way we can just say that the culprit is obviously a Pyro Maniac for buying this product in the first place. How's the new fireproof Kevlar thumb holding up?

Swiss Bobbing
On 12/1/2008 mc3 wrote in from United States  (75.71.nnn.nnn)

Huey thanx for the shot and fun to see you on the butt board. You would be stoked to Swiss Bob Vail.

I'm trying to get my buddy out the door to go shred some pow, we've been getting dumped on the last couple days. The night time activities won't begin for 2-3 weeks and I would suggest to you all...Swiss Bob big mountains before you can't.

Price you and Brunson get up here anytime for Bobs and beers. Those sparky gloves the what are the called again, fire pucks, sparkies? I know TSR has a better name, forgot it, but I took those out with a Street Swell Daisy Cutter and scared lots of people including myself.

The Daisy Cutter is 6ft 2 or so and has Original trucks with 97mm Flywheels. Huge board with no wheel bite kinda like a Hamm Board but pretty wood. I think there's one in that CW calendar but we don't get those fancy magazines up here in the mountains. And those sparky gloves fireslides or whatever...BitchN!

Gotta get on the bus, Nick see ya up here...
