Sadly, but true, Face Dancer's lead singer Carey Kress, who lived in Gaithersburg passed away on Tax Day 2009(4/15) and today, a longtime friend of mine, skateboarder Chris Cowtown Renner passed away......both these guys died from pancreatic cancer. I met Cowtown way back in the early 80s skating La...

I was @ the P-n-R yesterday and it needs a good clean-up.....w/a blower and the area where we always used to set courses has a 5 ft wide swath of spilled oil or burnt rubber going down the length of the course....we may be able to skate to the right of this but the sun will have to bleach this clean...

John Dillon

I plan to run some cones in the Baltimore area and maybe even renew the racing at the P-n-R in Gaithersburg....but I'll post up.

John Dillon

Kenny & I just got contacted by Baltimore to throw a race at a festival (the fest was cancelled last year &, hence, so was the race) in the fall.....dunno the date right now but I bet it will conflict with someone else's race since we were contacted only Thursday.

John Dillon

I just heard about Tony's death from Cabbage this eve....I remember Tony as an insane skater who use to rip Cedar Crest's vert ramp.I may have some pix of him...I'll have to look around. I also remember him from shows in the 80s in DC and his band 'Coathanger Delivery'. For the past few years I'd ru...

John Dillon

One of the talented street skaters(Derek Gertz) from Bowie tried to gap something in College Park and he fell and hit his head.....since he was skating alone and helmetless he was unconscious w/nobody to help him and he eventually died. This happened a week ago...do a search on Youtube and you can f...

John Dillon

just found out that the shitty of baltimore is being lame about allowing the festival to happen this year so the festival is off and, thus, the slalom race has been cancelled.....maybe we'll try for next year? Both Ken delaney and I are disappointed about this as we've put a lot of time and thought ...

John Dillon

Cabbage called me Thurs and told me that the hill nr his house was closed and that we should skate it. He had always wanted to close the road himself for a race and his dream has come true...but, perhaps, only temporarily....so do come out to skate this hill as you will not be disappointed. Ken Dela...

John Dillon

Thanks PA Dan for setting the course...I had fun skating there....we got lots of new skaters to try the slalom course...too bad Penn State built a building at the top of the old soap-box derby hill.....then I rolled out of York and made it to Greenbelt's skatepark dedication, which was a way fun ses...

John Dillon

Perhaps one day I will make it there....anyways, Cabbage & I will be throwing down a longboard jam at Lansdowne Skate Park in Baltimore at the same time as your race and we will set a banked slalom course as well but w/o use of a timer this time. We will pause for a moment to salute the racers in Pa...

John Dillon

Whilst skating at Greenbelt skatepark I was talking to someone who was watching us skate. During a break we talked about skateboarding and he said he used to slalom in the early 70s. Turns out he is Bill Cornett, 53 yrs old.....skated for Caravan Skate Team and then Comp Pro or something like that.....

John Dillon

No, I haven't tracked down a timer....let's just show up at Lans at 11am....and skate the parking lot until they let us in, heck, after the park gets blown off they'll let us in...I'll have to roll out about 2-ish for work, if I shave my head before then I can skate til 3pm! We can still set up a ba...

John Dillon

I'd love to come back to the center of the country.....I miss all my Illinois & Missouri friends.I dunno where my navigator and travelling entertainer is as I'm out of touch w/WesE since I got a new cell and I lost all my #s in it....one of which was WesE's...hey, WesE...call me...same # as before.....

John Dillon

if I can get a timer, let's set up a banked slalom course.

John Dillon

For posting those pix....I want to go back real soon....have fun in NM!

John Dillon

This is a good find....a good venue for a race...5 of us ran the hill...incl Cabbage's lil son, though he didn't like our cones(rocks) so he threw them into the grass. Even Cabbage's wife skated from the parking lot to the hill, but she didn't run the course. Double D, me, Cabbage & Big T all ran th...

John Dillon

I decided to change the meetup time from 10am to 11:45am to give more time for peeps to make it...call my cell in previous post for directions if u need them.

John Dillon

Yo Cabbage, I'm getting all my mowing done this eve so I can check out the hill in the morn after I celebrate Earth day by taking a ton of yard waste and limbs to the County compost pile. I'll call you tonight. Anybody else want to join me in the morn? If so, meet me @10am at the I-70 Park-n-Ride, i...

John Dillon

Come on out and let's check out this hill that Cabbage just found. Let's meet at the I-70 Park-n-Ride just inside the Baltimore Beltway at 10am, and go skate this hill. Cabbage and I have been looking for new hills for slalom races in the Baltimore areaand this could be what we've been looking for.....

John Dillon

A couple of years ago Ken Delaney and I set up some cones on the closed I-83 that runs through the Jones Fallsway during the Jones Fallsway Festival. We had our own personal cop keeping the exit ramp onto the highway closed off to traffic.....thousands of people walked,biked, pushed strollers,inline...

John Dillon

John Dillon

Your weapon of choice(skate) is often considered a real threat.....once when I was skating uphill past the southside of the Capitol, upon stooping down to pick up my skate and jumping onto the sidewalk, I was surprised as *!%# when I noticed 2 men in black in the bushes pointing m-16s at me. Welcome...

John Dillon

Yo Mike, Indeed, seeking shelter from the wind is a must....going into the woods in fresh pow up to your ribs is what I did this week in Colo...to dodge the minus 30 windchills. I found some nice ravines to slalom around the trees too....sweet sensation! Hopefully, I'll skate w/you and the others so...
