I just want to say thanks to Dave and John for all the support, training and gear you guys hooked me up with over the past 6 years. Learning to luge from the best in the sport was quite a gift and I will never forget those early days at twin pines. The decks you guys make now are first class and im stoked to have one in my quiver. I will be moving to Michigan in a few short days so I will have to hang up the boards for the winter. No worries though... I will be scouting hills for a local race when the snow melts. Thanks for everything
Brent

Thanks Dave, that sounds like an endorsement! I knew about your hook up on the ET gloves, I just didn't know you were rocking the fingers too. Besides you guys don't really need all of the extra features on our gloves 'cause they are designed for crashing, which you guys rarely ever do.
Let me know when you need more pucks or just pick some up if you're out here in April for the Ditch Slap. Nice picture of Judith on the Silverfish ad in CW!!

Yeah, I'll be there in November, if the surgery and rehab is smooth. I will not go until I'm healed, even if it will take a year. Can't wait for that first beer in Redlands! *Pschhht* *Glug glug* *AAAH!* :)

I've been running all TSR pucks for a few years now. I got them off the "Bear Paws" that you gave me. It's going to be a sad day when I have to retire those 1970's "ET Powergloves". The TSR pucks look and fit like they were made for the ET's. The padded palms and "factory" velcro on the palm and fingers puts those old ET's in a class by themselves! Pat Moody hooked a bunch of us up with those gloves a few years back. He never really told us how many pairs he found in the old ET warehouse :) Judith is rockin some TSR's...I'm pretty sure they came off a prize table at Sandia! Thanks Joe! Tell Isa that Sarah-Maude turns 4 on the 4th of Feb.

Hey Ian, Jimmy is not standing that far back in that picture. He actually shrunk while up in Canada! He was even talking about going to see Kelcey for a smaller set of leathers. A few weeks in the sun and some good mexican food should have him back to normal size.

Since when did you guys start running finger pucks on your gloves? You might as well just use TSR Gloves now! Sorry Judith, we don't have them in Pink. Isa wants to know how old is your daughter?

Riley,It wasn't as good as I thought. There are a few good segments with you and Roland but there is a lot of just the road. I'll try to get something up soon. I put a few stills on our site. I just started trying to add stuff there and hope to get some vids up. Jimmy was really impressed w/ your skill set. I told him our group was fast but I think he was surprised to see a guy your age rippin' that fast. See you next time!

Rob..Good to hear from you. Glad to see you got a roof over your head again. ColoRADo sounds fun...someday. Regarding the helmet..Carlos (see pic below) says that he has a line on them. Look for a post in the Silverfish vendors area.

David, How are you? My best to you and your family. I've finally moved indoors and once I've paid off some medical bills from last year I'm going to buy a new helmet. I'm looking at the 4 flight LT and wonder who I should buy it from. Do you have a line on them? What should I know about this helmet? Thank you for any info you can share. The snow has been pretty good this year and some of the major World comps have been moved to CO . Stop by to go slowboarding sometime. Oh yeah I'm sur this is old news but I don't get out much...I saw the Concrete Wave calendar the other day. That's way COOL! Poor Flindt. Gone riding, McKendry out

David thanks for the words. Alot of us moving inland a bit, the beach has gotten too crowded and can always fly back when the swell hits (thanks to Surfline and other great sites to check out)here it's always overhead and makes no difference which way the wind is blowing, it's always offshore. Got a nice little hill I can still speed down and a bunch of younglings that live around me that ride it everyday from school so it's great to see all the styles. There was a slalom contest up in Park City couple months ago,Ty Page was there and some real good skating going on. Hope to be more active this next season after the thaw here. Good to see and read all the print and the stoke still alive out there.

Thanks for stopping in and giving me a kick start!
Joe, you know I love ABQ and riding those ditches! Judith and I are still trying to plan the year. Judith wants to hit DB, John is telling me that Paskapoo is a must and Teutonia is calling my name. So many great places to skate..so little time. If I only had 6-8 weeks of paid vacation or a lucky lotto ticket I'd be set...
Fredrik, thanks for that! Beating Biker in those days was a big deal for me. It was nearly a bigger deal than winning the XGames Gold Medal...well not quite ;)
Guy Grundy...How is it going? Thanks for dropping by! All of my skate idols are going to Utah? I know the hills have got to be good up there.
That's kind of funny...Guy Grundy was one of the first (if not THE first) DH skateboard champions back in the late 70's...Fredrik (Spiken) Lindström is the 2006 champion....cool!
