Org: NorCal (540 Posts) Topic Post THANKYOU =) On 12/18/2006 Will wrote in from United States  (66.245.nnn.nnn) Hey Guys, Cat, Eric, Tom, Marcus. Nice to meet you all. I really had fun. I would have liked to stay longer. Cat, thanks for letting me use your board(s)! I wouldn't have had much fun on my old skool board. With you board and listening to the great advice from all of you I was quickly enjoying a new form of skating. I will be searching craigslist soon for some equipment =) so I can do this again. Stay safe out there. -Will     Rate post 262742 !

On 12/16/2006 Marcus Rietema wrote in from United States  (24.4.nnn.nnn) I want to say thank you to Cat, Eric, Tom, MJ and everyone else who made me feel so welcome at the slalom practice. Today was a blast and I can't wait to do it again. Mark I really appreciated your phone call this morning and I hope you are feeling better. I'm looking forward to skating the park in Sacramento on Wednesday with you! Cat, thanks for letting me use your boards and Eric thanks for all of the advice. I went home and shortened my wheelbase by 5" and added a lot more wedge to my front truck!!! I can't wait to try out the modifications. Hope to see all of you soon. Marcus     Rate post 262655 !

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 !
