On 11/27/2006 Eric Tokle wrote in from United States  (216.210.nnn.nnn) Its been great getting together with everyone on Bernal Rd. Thanks for the pointers everyone. Thanks Cat for making the long drive with me. It was a treat to meet Gary Holl too! AND thanks to that wild man Tom Norton for showing us how its done! For those who dont yet know that name, take note! He is TEARING up the courses and doing it on a cut down S9 longboard, plain Trackers (using a chunk of wood as his "angle riser" and some so/so S9 wheels! If he get a real set up under him, than we may never catch up! Go Tom!!!!     Rate post 261387 !

I haven't scouted it yet but theres a good amount of drop on it and I imagine its mostly ambulances and such that drive on it.

David advanced and I didn't, damn Promoters Curse. I would have thought you guys would be MORE worried about getting home in that car after the trip to get there. You'll always be able to say you raced down Vail Pass in the US Nationals! You know that TSR podiums now award to 4th place. That's why David was on the Stonhenge Podium at Maryhill, you can boast that you remember 'back in the day' when 4th still sucked. Kids today.....Race you soon!     Rate post 260981 !

David P On 11/21/2006 Mark Johnson wrote in from United States  (75.7.nnn.nnn) Hay david: are you sure that wasn’t Dontes inferno we drove to in the Volvo? That was the worst trip of my life and i got two forth place finishes (forth place sucks!). I am sorry you had to be there. Next time we can take the short cut.

I'd love to go hit some hills and do some sliding. I found a pretty fun run in oakland, faster than claremont but no crazy turns and blind corners to deal with. There's a spot behind the UCSF medical center in the city I wanna check out too, basically the backside of twin peaks down to parnassus. -Julien     Rate post 260875 !

It's local, in Palo Alto, CA and it's comming soon! Try a SkateScepter for FREE. Whats a Skate Scepter? It's cool portable device that pushes you on your skateboard. ANY type of skate board. And it will push you up hills too! No modifications to your board needed since you just hold it in your hands in while in your natural stance on your skate. Squeeze the throttle and away you go. Black Diamond Sports in Palo Alto has graciously decided to host a Demo Day with Brown Tooth Innovations LLC so people can try a Skate Scepter. Bring your own HELMET and BOARD and ride at your own risk. Location: Palo Alto, CA (rain or shine since it's in a covered garage) DATE: Tuesday November 21 TIME: 7:00 PM e-mail me for more info and directions, skateking@skatescepter DOT com or visit www.skatescepter.com     Rate post 259410 !

In fact I might be setting someting up with BDS(Black Diamond Sports). Some sort of demo day. I'll keep you posted. Or if you just want to meet somewhere some time that would work too.

It was pretty fun. But the pavement isn't the best(as stated by other boarders). It's basically smooth but there is some gravel on the shoulders. It would really suck to take a spill on it. I need to try it on a REAL longboard now, anyone got one I can borrow? =) I got lots of google eyed looks from drivers as I skated up the hill with my Skatescepter. http://www.skatescepter.com/will_skull_crouch.bmp -Will     Rate post 256911 !

I skated a section of it a couple years back when I camped out there with a few friends. Didn't go very far but as I recall the pavement wasn't so hot. hardly any traffic though. -Julien     Rate post 256222 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0)
