Drove past the Park and Ride yesterday and the thought of skating crossed my mind. I work near a really sweet hill we used to skate back in the 70's. I skated it with Wes E. a week or so before Lacosta 2001. I set my quicksilver woody up for my son to cruise around campus down in Florida while he wa...

I was there, must've drank a case of Red Bull. Chaput won the race in '02 with a perfectly executed "Criddle". I just posted an Album on FaceBook with pictures. Find me under Abelardo Michel Temoche.

You might be able to commuter train it from BWI all the way to downtown G'burg, at that time of day. You'll most likely have to change trains at union station in DC Check out your options when you land.
