213 those are rad photos! really want to ride 168.
munge - i woke her up so she wasnt thrilled with that. coupled with the fact that i have been rollllllin hard all month... and to boot, i smelled of cigs... she wasnt PISSED... just not happy....
and yeah, i pay the health insurance..
here is the official ride report:
another fun session in Esco last night. we closed down the bar, it was after 2 by the time i had all of the contraband cleaned up.
RYANSHECKLEROFLONGBOARD showed up late, dismanteled his board and was unable put the pieces back together again. it was like fukin humpty dumpty but it gave the rest of us time to get good and lubed up.
we walked the first session and Conner managed to not get hit by a car this time.
back at the garage for a hydration break, everyone floundered on the climbing wall but the old fat guy who showed em how its done.
Omar showed up in a 5 series BMW so we went back out and hit all the runs several more times with a shuttle.
slooowyad was clocked at about 50mph. RYANSHECKLEROFLONGBOARD only managed to hit two of us while drafting.
at the end of the night, slooowy was seen absconding with a half empty, flat keg of sierra nevada pale ale. at least he seat belted it.
vague memories of losing the battle for the last smoke.
so loving being at work this morning.

Salad you missed a great Kegger Sat. keg was floating @ 9pm. Gave away all the free swag and came out 20 buck in the hole for the party. Not getting out much, got a big test to study for, on Thursday. After that may try to get out and tear up some blacktop.
hey when you did Lower rock creek did you start @ swall and then go down to paradise? I still need to do that one.
Its so hard to tell but it looks like BOMBER Matt hit 45 mph not 50. HAAHAHA. Nice vid none the less.
Heading over to Santa Rosa again. Still licking my wounds from the last trip over there. Took a digger doing a toe side pendy and stopped quicker than I was expecting and went down on my ass and have a nice strwberry. Now my pants and undies rub the scab everytime I make some fast move. MAY have to start wearing my pants LOW. Looking at getting some padded shorts now. May just blow a wade on some leathers..if im smart.
Are you loven the new ride or what?

nav - he's hit 60 i think so not a record. he is a mess right now though. bad wipe out in sunday's race. grapefruit growing off his hip.
wedge - i started a little south of swall, then hopped in the car thru some of the steep stuff, then road not quite to paradise. was really fatigued so took the ride thru the steeps.
the new ride is tight! went out last nite for a couple of quick speed runs. topped at 29.8, which is probably my fastest. could handle more. need to tighten the trucks and thinking about putting harder bushings on.

I got back into skateboarding about 7 years ago when Sunnyvale skatepark opened up, now I'm out at Lake Cunningham in San Jose. Sooooooooo good, come bring those longboards out to the fullpipe!! Rad to see so many climbers that skate too, like me!

wedge - dont really know about bushing. when got my first board, they set it up with the yellow ones from gravity which are harder. once i could skate a little, they gave me softer red ones and man the board would carve so much easier.
my new drop thru was set up with the reds and very loose trucks.
one thing to note is when i first got the softer ones, they told me to just swap one out at a time which eased me into it.
karodrinker - doubt im up for a pipe but will have board in the south bay around xmas...

sick quiver pate! i wasnt able to see the pic as it was blocked at work...
frumped tonite. i started 20 feet higher and bombed in the same tuck but didnt clock a higher speed. same exact speed as a matter of fact.
almost an epic. i got skeered and tried to air brake but realized i was still goin pretty fast... to fast to carve. so here i am with a lot of ground to cover, standing up with arms out, hoping to slow down but im not.
got back down low and started woooobbbbbblllliing. in trouble! got the hand down and started hand braking. fingers burning! skateboard moving all over!
pitch started easing so i stood up and finally slowed down.
only hit just under 30 (29 and change says the gps), but for me it was a spooky ride, but good cause i kept it together...

South Bay? Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo Pacifica. Me gusta.
Nice quiver Pate! Seems you cover the range of skills there. Ever bomb some of the short, but fugging steep hills of Prescott? Carleton St. from up near Mt. Vernon to S. Cortez for the mega slide Steinlager finish?
The skatepark here would sure love those boards too.

Nice Pate!
With all this interest, maybe I should dig out some old vids of the brothers doing the downhill thing...

Yea that does look like a sweet park. Makes me want to go out and but another board.
Re-video...why did he fall.. Just leaning to far forward over the front truck to cut down on speed wobbles? skidded all the way across the road too...that was some distance. Looks too that Matt had no knee or slide gloves.
Going to get some pavement today in Santa Rosa. Going to check out Fountain Grove while my GF is at work.
Went trick or treating as Specioli from Fast TImes at Ridgemont high, begal and blond wig and all...it was sweet.
