Thanx for the good vibe Cliff! We have a working name so far for the baby, but im pretty sure i will keep this one cause i like it: Emma. We had the scond ultrasound yesterday, and she showed us that she will be radical by spining like a maniac all the time. She already roock my heart! Best adventure so far.

Dude, 2007 is totally the opposite (so far) of 2006, and you will see it right away when we'll meet again. This baby girl is just highlighting my life.

I dont think i can make it to Danger Bay since i have a little one on the way, so a need to hae more $ in the bank just in case. If ever i get rich by then, then of course ill go there. Wont participate, but ill be there. I would love to try out the DH race, just to get some adrenaline down my veins even if i finish dead last, but i have to be realistic: i am dead broke right now. I just bought a new camera for my work, and well, its not like in the good old film days. Numeric stuff is so expensive! Well, i keep on wishing a good load of money will fall on my head, untill then, i work.

When are you goin to New York? This, for sure, i can make it. Not far from my city (9 hours) so...

Yeah.

A babygirl on the way. August is gonna be a blast!

Later man, and wish you are doin ok on your side as well!

Cheers Cliff It would be great to have your self and Fabrice over. I cant believe that it was 2005 when you were last over-it seems like only yesterday! Will and Piet in our crew have found some monster new hills since you were last over too, we'll definatly have to take you there -1.3 miles of 20% hill with no cars!

Great to hear from you fella hope all is well in Sunny Cali.

Hey Cliff,

Still sling around huh? just to say hi I still remember when we crashed heads at the LAb and almost knocked each other out. Proved one thing, we really have hard heads.

Take it Easy,

Chuy

Matt,

For soft wheel riding, I like a durometer at about 80-82.

Hi Cliff just thought I'd share with you a little taster to the new movie-The art of going sideways. It's is so close to being finished it hurts. We had a teaser up before with no skating but be reasured there is some sliding this time.

Hope you enjoy.

Germany

Hey Cliff! Hope you and all the crew are well and happy!!We are planning a trip to southern Germany with Sophie,staying at hers. It would be great if you could come and make it an event. If not Germany how about coming back to Cornwall,perhaps with Sergio? Same sort of thing as last time,just let me know what you need.
Sliding is still progressing well in the UK,send you a copy of the new dvd soon, and I`m sure you would love what everyone is doing!!!
All the best from me and all your friends in the UK.

I've been to Germany to ride and the Country is fantastic! The riders were super cool and fun to hang out with. If I can find a way to get back there, I would like to do it again. Especially if the Faltown guys make it.

Have fun!
Cliff Coleman

Thanks for the info Derick. We have a German girl ,Sophie, who rides with us 3 times a week. She is here for a 3D design course and will take sliding back to southern Germany when she finishes. You have to see her as she is one talented and technical slider.
Perhaps you could be more active in growing your local scene?Any of us from Faltown will be pleased to help!
Peace Mark.
