The Board
On 2/13/2009 Rob wrote in from United States  (67.174.nnn.nnn)

It's a Never Summer SL 168 I've found this board to be my weapon of choice. It has deep sidecut and just means it gets from edge to edge quicker so it's more responsive for a longboard. Yeah it's a longboard so it can haul ass and remain stable but turn quick. You can beat the crap outta the thing too. That one was new last year and as you can tell has seen a couple rocks. Don't worry about the core shots and just sand the rust off the edges before you go. I've had lots of miles on that one and shes gotta lots left. Get some medium bindings and have fun. That's the only kind of board I didn't see in your garage.

Get a hold of me about your spot. I have bills to pay.

It is good to hear you have plenty of snow, all we have is ice and slimey roads.

can you say cabin fever?

Don't Panic!

The original photo hangs in Kludyville. This is a photo of a photo and doesn't show the American flag at the top of the surfboard in the background. This copy doesn't show the bikers in the foregound pumping thier fists in the air.
This is skateboarding history and needs to be seen. I hope you don't mind me putting this up Rick. peace

Legalize the Bob
On 2/8/2009 robertjamesmckendryIII wrote in from United States  (67.174.nnn.nnn)

Zak I have to let you know sometime who first said that and that's some funny s#@! right there!! I would really like to get out to Lookout and rally the hill with you guys. There's quite a few van loads of racers on the way to your hill in May. So glad to see you guys putting on an event in Colorado and thanks for all the hard work. The Ditch Slap week and the Wild Bills back to back is a perfect way to show off some of the goods here and look forward to skating big mountains with packs of riders from all over the GLOOOOBE!

Only 2 runs on the Bobs, one Friday and one Saturday. We got some heat Friday and had to toss the Bobs outta the gondala window and then retrieve them for our descent. Saturday we brought up the Bobs under our jackets while shredding and returned later that evening to take a run. Saturday we bombed the hill in close proximity and led Will over a roller @ 40mph as we caught air simultaneously. Sick runs but no gps. You know when your flying on a piece of plastic through the air 25ft your going fast.

Hey Robbie
Sooooooooo......
I pop into the forum for a quick check as to what yer' up to, and I read back a couple of days or so, and what offends my eye??.....
No vote for you?
When did you earn a felony rap? I thought the late, great D.B. got u straight in VAB? Or was it a CO thing?
Anyway, it's cool ur getting around, getting some hill action, and makin' frinds and influencing folk like u do :)
2009 is gonna' be a good one. I feel it.
All the best to you, Mate. All the time :)

Hey Rob,
Couple things:

First of all, come skate tomorrow. Lookout, 10:00 then on to a faster hill...

Second, I hear you are partially responsible for "MiniBike". I must thank you for going so easy on me. It could be a lot worse.

Hey Rob, More buttboard airs to come. They are quite a rush. Only done a couple so far. The snow looks nice in CO. But, back when we were in LA, here's a memorable shot of you and Billy at the heights of hell!

On 2/2/2009 McKendry wrote in from United States  (67.174.nnn.nnn)

Thank you Josh and Billy for putting up those vids. Fun to see skating now when my roads are covered with cinders and ice. Not only do I have to check Zoo Bomb off the list but Hawaii and board shorts in January looks like fun. Nice work Huey, when do you see more Buttboard Big Air!? Those 2 vids are quite a contrast to Mercado's latest hell on wheels offer.

Rick I'm throwing a new tune on your snowboard and will send it this week so plan on shredding before it all melts. Hanging out at your place was exactly what I needed. Thanx for reminding me there's life outside of this snow globe.

Here's a couple shots from a solo run to Intermountain yesterday.






gone rid'n
peace

Getting too old for this stuff
On 1/30/2009 kludy wrote in from United States  (68.8.nnn.nnn)

Rob , it took me all week to get back into Dad Mode bro. Breanne is still talking about that meal you made for us. Your left over are way better than my best meal. With age does come a killer laid back the night before race day.
I only fell one time a cracked a Rib, maybe two but no worries I have done that before. Still cant get over how fast them kids where and playing with me like they where.
God I would love to have the picture just before they took me into the 2 hard right and yes they took me and thats my hill. Mass talent in todays speed boarding.
I miss you already Rob. Tryed hard to show you my life today in just a few hours bro. Boy I am paying for in now, ha !

what up rob! thanks for the birthday card and the $$munay$$. i'll try not to spend it all in one place (and i'll try not to get creeped out by the card...). it's been snowing an unusual amount here and it's starting to get annoying. i'm sure you've gotten used to it but it's a little much for me.
here is a little video huey and i threw together during out last dry spell in portland. sounds like you had fun in california. i'm glad you didn't kick your wheel this time.
take care and stay warm!

What a weekend
On 1/27/2009 robmc3 wrote in from United States  (67.174.nnn.nnn)


This past weekend was a real trip. To have so much talent at Barret and to have some of the fastest people who speedboard seeing this road for the first time was just too fun. I only get to see Mischo now when he passes me, few years ago he was more fun to ride with. Now I'm in the way. The cream always rises to the top in our sport and to see all the new fast people trying to catch Dave, John, Mischo and Rick was lots of fun. I hope ya'll got home safe and there are way too many stories to tell about this weekend before work. Really cool to have no egos and a bunch of riders who respected not only each other but a gnarly road. Thanx to DT and Mercado, and Maxx and everybody who drove and made this race happen. Thank you Rick for being an old soul and a young spirit, you always make Barret the hill not be missed.
California's newest Champion!

I was soon asked to leave the ASR Trade Show.

A couple of Rick's, Kludy and Wilson.
