I was hit by a car last night, but it was the driver's fault, because it was on a raised crossing. In Sweden the car has to give way to everyone crossing there. I didn't hurt myself too bad. Scraped both legs, hit my hip and my neck is a bit sore. She even run over my board. Thank you for making stuff that can take a car, Dave! The front Kahalani truck got a bad ding on the base plate, but it's ok.
Always be careful when riding with cars.

... the funny thing was a few days after shooting that clip i was skating along the walk way around the Wellington water front and was crossing what i consider a pedestrian crossing because the road is raised to the same hight as the walkway and the top of this path is paved rather than tarmac. The guy who hit me was going fast enough to fracture my tibia... I cant step on a board till August! To top it all off the cops said i was in the wrong cause its zoned as a road.
So point taken guys... Cars are big and hard! Ill take it to the back roads next time.
I should be given the ok to skate by Peskapoo cause im hang out to get some pointers from the experts.

The hill looks fun and your riding looks good. Post links to your vids anytime you like. I must agree with Toby about the amount of traffic. My tip would be to find another hill without so much traffic so you can push it a bit harder and not end up as a hood ornament.

Here is a short clip of me riding my fav hill on my new foamcore carbon and kevlar board. Im really stoked with how well the Kevlar takes the twichness out of the carbon.
My riding is getting a bit better and im doing a solid 60k and getting up to the early 70km (headwind and a few cars...)
Any tips from the pros? any one want a new rider for there team?!

I have pictures of him, try a couple of times to touch bases with you. Give me a call. Also he would like a picture of you guys. He's doing great. Mark and I will be going to GA May 23-28 for his final graduation. Looks like he maybe send to Washington DC for six months, but you know how the Army can be...
Take Care

That was some of the funniest sh!t I have ever seen. John looked like the dude from Hellraiser, just more frightening. I will look Darryl up once we get settled. What island does he live on?

Hey man!
I was wondering wtf happened to you, but sounds like things are going very well, congrats. Last time we hung out, we were crying from laughing in the back of Chaput's rental van watch Darryl jam toothpicks into John's head. Remeber how pissed he got? Good times, hope we can meet up again soon. Darryl live in Hawaii also, you should try and get a hold of him. Cheers mate! DC

Dave,
If you travel to Brazil with me, you will visit Sergio and have him as our guide while in Brazil. This is a very good thing to have while there! Florionopolis is awesome and we will show you the place. Then we would drive to the race site for the event. Later we could go back to Floripa and relax before the return flight. I'll be at this year's Danger Bay. Will you? If so, we can discuss this Brazil possibility more.
Cliff

Dave and John
Hey guys its been awhile, just thought I would drop a line and let you know whats goin on. I finally finished medic school and got married. I thought that after school I would would travel around to all the races and events but Ive been offered a opportunity to work in Hawaii for a couple of years. My wife has a great job waiting for her when we get there aswell so its something we cant pass up. We plan on leaving the 1st of May.
Anyway I just wanted to say that it was a pleasure skating with all you guys, Roger, Steven, Danny, Rick, and Jimmy (even though he still owes me $100).
Drop me a line if any of you are out in Oahu.
Later

Hey Cliff..I'm hoping to make Teutonia this year. That hill looks like fun and I hear they are planning something "special" this year. Getting there a little early and leaving a bit late would be nice. I don't have any concrete dates or tickets yet. Looking for travel partners? Lets talk. I just checked some pics of Florinopolis. WOW!

For the Randal luge trucks, try emailing Randal directly or talk with Tim Cayer from IRS sports (you are on the east coast?? right?) I think he is "the" east cost connection for Randal stuff.
For the plastic knee caps, Timeship is a good source or try Socalskateshop.com
You can get white caps (Prodesigned) and Black from socalskateshops.com
You might find that they stay on better if you trim them a bit. Getting the velcro to stick to the inside of caps can be a pain. You can also put them on with elastic straps like you do a regular kneepads.
Good choice with the NJKs!!

Dave,
Will you be in Brazil for the Teutonia in October? I'm planning on making the trip and going a little early to hang out on the island of Florinopolis with Sergio for some time before the race. Just wondered what you plans are.

I've ordered a custom made suit from kelcey and he told me that
the knee-pads are built-in to the suit, but what about the shell?
or knee cap? the piece of high-density plastic that usually uses up from sliding on asphault at 80+km/h
how do you put them on, velcro?
where do you purchase your usual knee shells?
