if only 23 show up and I expect more will...I'll eat 2 burgers...will not let food go to waste guys...

John Dillon

Do any of you guys remember John Granlund? I spoke to him via e-mail this past week and he talks highly of a bunch of you guys...sorry, but I won't attempt to mess up your names. I'll probably skate w/him next week.

John Dillon

I looked but couldn't find 'em.

John Dillon

In order to run wildly through the cones one must consume wild game. Gilbert said he'd bring some stuff....again let's all bring a little extra so there's enough to go around when we need to replenish calories...I know GBJ will kick my *ss with the courses he will set up...and I'm willing to attempt...

John Dillon

I'll toast to that, ChrisB!

John Dillon

Yo Jeff!
Let's cook up some venison too....that is, if you have any left over. I'm looking forward to seeing you in a couple weeks, GBJ! And everyone else!!

John Dillon

Yes, there are grills at TG5 site, Gilbert. That'd be way cool for you to bring food....I'm bringing some drinks and ice too...and I'm sure others are bringing stuff too...I've told folks to bring food for the grill. Chairs, blankets and charcoal are other good things to bring too...heck, I'll even ...

John Dillon

It would be great to see you all there and I will work hard to get there myself...Oles looked fast at MSSS but w/a Chicago wind this summer....we might have to watch out, ChrisB! Looks like a Kill/Freak/Fun/DHB Summer Reunion is possible!!

John Dillon

Hey folks....get outside and skate during the day, then come on over to Dr Dreamo's anytime after 6pm and have a cold one, check out the bands, check your raffle tix for prizes being raffled off, bid on the silent auction items...and support the DC Chapter, Surfrider Foundation's Tsunami Benefit.......

John Dillon

Sounds cool to me , Andy! Count me in.

John Dillon

I've never been to Chicago, but I've met plenty of cool Chicagoans who skate....I'd like to eat some REAL ribs....windskate thru the cones....surf some concrete waves...you know the deal...btw Ben....those Daggers are for real(v cool cats). I hope to be there too....will the Kill City Crew make it a...

John Dillon

don't know anybody who showed up....some of the freebord technique looks like the way a lot of beginners ride a snowboard by steering the back foot around sideways, now switching over to switch looked cool but riding straight then sideslipping-styling it isn't really my cup of tea.but, yea, I'd like...

John Dillon

If u plan to go, then sign up....others from out of town aren't going to come if just a few of you sign up....oh well, more runs for those who do show up! Don't be lame, get into the game!! Do we have any schedule, Andy? I know some folks can only attend one day and they have to tell the boss which ...

John Dillon

John Dillon

Hey friends! All GSL supporters, especially DC resident skateboarders are needed at a 7pm meeting at Langdon Rec Ctr this wed 4/20/05...ie, tomorrow night to help derail a plan by anti-Green Skate Laboratory protesters. DC Pks & Rec still strongly supports GSL but non-skateboarders want to derail al...

John Dillon

I just read in the City Paper over the wknd that they are coming to DC in concert soon....I'll have to look at the date...I probably can't afford it, anyways! Can anybody burn me some cd's of their music?

John Dillon

Try to get over to Athens,GA in 2 weeks for their slalom race...post up here for used wheels...and I'm sure someone will sell some to you....I briefly worked in GA...in and about Athens back in '86...and I rode 66's vert ramp then too....there's lots of great slalom folks all around, including down ...

John Dillon

I ended up hitting the Arlington Skate Park in the morn, did some window shopping in Alexandria, the GSL work from 3:30-8pm...maybe next time?!

John Dillon

Does anyone have one they wish to get rid?

John Dillon

Eric.....you can catch a MARC Train outside Camden Yards(where the Orioles play) in downtown Baltimore and it will take you to Union Station in DC, near the Capitol! Also, there's a light rail station at BWI that will take you straight into downtown Baltimore as well. There's also a subway line that...

John Dillon

Yo Jeff...if I get a tix while practicing my slalom skills will you pay for half my tix too? Same boat as you...v busy at work this yr.

John Dillon

John Dillon

...you crack me up! Dang, all that high altitude training Eric has been doing is going to pay off and he's going whip our butts, well, maybe not WesE's! lol

John Dillon

Yea, Definitely check this place out...you may have stumbled upon something great, Marion!Let me know what W-S Pks & Rec says...what we do is recreation too....and the hill looks awesome! I believe Mollica practicd on a soap box derby hill somewhere in OH to get in shape for The Worlds a couple yrs ...

John Dillon

Let us know what you found out, OK? Thanks for the info, Jack!

John Dillon

I'd consider The Gathering 5 a grass roots event...as there is mentoring and training,trying out everybody's skates,etc....several diff courses set up and practiced, then raced throughout the wknd....yea, it's not advertised as a race...but there is plenty of racing going on all wknd....last yr was ...

John Dillon

if anybody can make it, come on out...20th ST NE, just south of RI Ave. Hopefully, I'll be there.

John Dillon

the P&R is over an hour away from BWI...but whichever airport you get the best deal, then go for it......do u need a place to crash before the conference,Eric? If so, I've got space for ya.

John Dillon

I live 30 mins from BWI and Baltimore, an hour or more from DC, way more if there's traffic......Lansdowne is only 10 mins from BWI...yea, anytime you want to skate is cool...we'll work around your schedule. It'll be good to see you!

John Dillon

Hey Vlad....I'm rolling to VT this wknd for a week, but I may get out to Lib thurs or fri eve, still trying to fit in GSL stuff, working on the OC race possibility, Skate Park of Baltimore, and Carroll County Skate Park, renovate the kitchen and foyer, get the organic garden worked, hunt down some e...

John Dillon

but I know that some folks might be going to STL(5/28-29) and lbk & I were talking about hiking and snowboarding down Tuckerman's Ravine, in NH, the 28-29th. I also think the 28-29th is a holiday wknd...so, it's your pick, Eric. Of course, we'd love to see you....Tway was in town for a conference la...

John Dillon

and the cyberslalom course as u described. Vlad, How long was the course outside the fence at Vans and how many cones was that one that was set at Vintage Day? When I meant short course, I didn't mean a 10-cone course...that'd be way short...I'd call that supershort. Can you dig a 20-cone course?Bob...

John Dillon

What a blast.....Five was packed w/GSL supporters...I sold tons of raffle tix to the crowd. Twas great seeing people coming out of the woodworks for this fundraiser....some folks I haven't seen in years.....from out of town even- from Baltimore and Frederick, from southern Maryland and from all over...

John Dillon

of course all you guys can help out AND skate too....thanks for the info, Vlad....looks like it'll be doable...I will be soliciting help but I first need to get a couple more hurdles cleared for the official official...if u know what I mean! Vlad, did u loan out your Donek at WT last Sun morn?

John Dillon

I'll c ya there this eve, Rene & Anthony...anybody else going? How about you slackers who get to sleep in every morn. I'll have to roll out early so I can wake up at 4am...maybe I'll sleep in til 4:30am. They said it couldn't be done, let's make it happen! IT WILL GET DONE. LONG LIVE GSL!!!!!! Your ...

John Dillon

Well, it was dry up my way sat morn, but i had other plans in mind so I couldn't skate w/you all....I blew off a day on the slopes to investigate a possible new slalom venue at an event on Maryland's oceanic coast...hopefully, you'll thank me...if it happens.....anyways, afterwards, I drove my hybri...

John Dillon

8-10k minimally is needed for the GSL Project, as Rene pointed out, to buy the crete. The Airspeed guys will now only be available to consult due to another pour that conflicts...but a couple v. competent east coasters will now do the pour...hopefully, they'll get their new concrete pump. Neverthele...
