Berkeley & Walnut Creek Skatepark BASA sessions
On 1/11/2007 Rich Sayers wrote in from United States  (66.117.nnn.nnn)

Joanna, HC, Julien and anyone wanting to hit some vert...

Let's do a Berkeley skatepark weekday evening session when the weather gets above 50 degrees. I work about 2 miles from there. Evenings are not crowded.

Let's also plan a Walnut Creek skatepark session for either a Saturday afternoon or weekday evening. I skate there almost weekly and can show you all some lines.

Ditto what Drew said!
It was a great day & we all got in a lot of skating-- about 4+ hours worth of up & down & up & down!
Judi, Mark, John, Eric, Tom & Steven were missed.
See everyone on the 6th-- weather permitting.
Happy New Year.

Bernal happened
On 12/30/2006 Drew Lunsford wrote in from United States  (71.198.nnn.nnn)

Great day skating today. Great company and digicam filming too. Weather was clear sky and temps in the 50s, a tailwind in the morning added speed untill noon when it reversed direction then it was all about style practice. Cat's putting it down, tore it up on the red dot course with her new Radikals on a 27" Kieth Hollien deck. She ran more than a few spanking clean fast runs! We witnessed some upcoming competion for our gal Judi who was missed today. Norski also came down and delivered a real growth in form and speed ability, giving me another old guy workout trying to keep up on the course. Fun shirts that Cat made for the BASA SFJ movement. Thanks Cat. See you all again soon hopefully next weekend will include John, Steven, Mark, and Tom as well!

Have a Happy New Year 2007

Happy Holidays
On 12/24/2006 Cat wrote in from United States  (67.117.nnn.nnn)

Another fun session in SJ yesterday. The drive back & forth went quicker because of Norski's great company! I still don't think he believes I actually had a Black Oak Arkansas CD in my car-- yea, there are a few of us fans left! (including Norski)
Thanks for lunch Drew. Drew's wife, Doreen, makes the best cookies I have ever eaten! It's definitely worth the 1 1/2 hour drive to spend time with such awesome people. Judi, Tom, Eric & Steven were missed.
See ya'll on the 30th.
Merry Christmas to all!
P.S. I'm glad we have our own little corner here on NCDSA-- there isn't much love going on in the slalom thread right now!
Remember, SFJ!!

Great time as always, thanks everyone! and great to have some new faces. Will's Skatescepter is pretty wild, thanks!

Hey Marcus, you can "cheat" with what you have to act like a narrower hanger by simply floping your wheels inside out and running them backwards for now. Just make certain they still clear the truck when at full lean. I bet you'll notice a difference.

I'm hitting the road for the hollidays (heading south for sun and skating.) See you all next year, if not at Jonny Millers race on the 31st in SLO, Cheers and Happy Hollidays!!!!!!!!

THANKYOU =)

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

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
