nah, i knew a gentleman like you wouldnt be trashtalking your old team like that....and i see you're point exactly....and i think riding that lil' board thru a Super G would be completely insane....though i saw Jadranko put a 28" board down Trade Street, i dont have the Canoles to do that. Yep, it's...

Christopher Bara

Steve, i hope you're reading this...... The Euro got great reviews in Chicago. Some said it was a bit small under foot....and it does take some getting used to. But it felt comfortable down the ramp and around the cones. Great acceleration. I still need allot of work on my game, but i can honestly s...

Christopher Bara

Just wanted to say thanks to the Freak Bros for putting together a fun weekend. This was really a Grass Roots race. Chris and Chris, thanks for your hard work. It was good sittin down to talk with Clifton and Ricky, Texas Outlaws...always good to see you again...Brandon, glad i had the chance to mee...

Christopher Bara

Rinaldi called me on his way down...bumper to bumper construction on I-94 westbound all around Jackson. Take a different route it you can thru Michigan. Either 75 to Toledo and west on 70/80 or 69 south thru Marshal to 70/80...not sure how 94 is west of Jackson, but it took Steve about 4 hours to ge...

Christopher Bara

Hey CFav....do you prefer paypal or cash on hand?

Christopher Bara

thanks for the leads.....one of them had links to snowboard groups in Michigan....cant hurt to try, aye?

Christopher Bara

in the interest of slalom evangelism..........is there a snowboarders forum anywhere that would help us spread the word to new folks up in Michigan too?......slalom's more like snowboarding than it is street skateboarding.....and makes for good summer training

anybody have a site name?

Christopher Bara

Women....
The wifee is hedging on making the trip, which means that if i can switch to a room with 2 beds and room for a cot, i might have space for a person or two......the room is 275.00 for the weekend, so the math is easy...

Anybody out there still looking for a place to stay?

Christopher Bara

Hey Marty......givin' props to Roe in a Turner forum..........man.....thats catty seriously though, it is a nice shape on the Turner, and if it's your design, then kudo's to ya...Roe makes a fine product and i'm sure they'll cut a nice deck for ya.....but.....a Turner is still a Turner.....I know th...

Christopher Bara

Hey Chris, do you want me to bring cones and the timer for a friday night outlaw and save your stuff for the main event?

Christopher Bara

he's probably pissed because now after Athens everybody know how fast he is..... he cant sneak up on anybody anymore

heh heh heh

Christopher Bara

Greg and I will be rolling in around 2:00 or 2:30 Friday afternoon...

Christopher Bara

Hey Marty, now youre talkin'........that 34" is a nice size and in fact, with the greater width makes the boards lines look even nicer....Somebody else had told me that was a shape you designed as well and the more i ride it the more i like it..........not too many opportunites to ride TS in the sta...

Christopher Bara

got it....i'll find it on the map ..... does the L get us there or should i bring the truck?

I'll do the sightseeing with Nancy on Friday night.......she wants to see some racing on Saturday......

Christopher Bara

nah, you have to know Kevin Gamble before you can say that...the guy is top shelf....and Yvonne has done more to help out at races than almost anybody i've met yet....I'm a bit bummed they wont be there... I'm traveling with my wife to this one too and it's a whole lot tougher to sell this new locat...

Christopher Bara

Wasnt the Blues Brothers shot in the ghetto?

Christopher Bara

yep....saw that, and i never tried priceline before so i gave it a crack. The rules werent going to work for me though because it's strictly price based. I'm bringing my wifee on this trip, so i was geared more to location, even if it cost more....had to find a place near the shopping, restaurants a...

Christopher Bara

that's a good haul from my hotel brah....about 10 blocks.....i'll pay the extra for the convenience..........but thanks anywho....(did you verify that price?....it's a great rate)

Christopher Bara

yeah Wes, but where's the Club Quarters at?........

Christopher Bara

yes, and there's options here...(look at this, two family guys writing on line on a Saturday night, is that sad or what?)....the "L" runs pretty close to us, a station's about a block south of the Embasy ....but it's a 3 block walk from the Wilson station to the park....or, you can drive to the site...

Christopher Bara

That's the one....pretty standard hotel, but per Favero a great location...right by the miracle mile and only a couple blocks from Navy Pier.....plus a bunch of restaurants and pubs right near by.....

Christopher Bara

Hey Ricky.....hotels downtown are filling up pretty fast....the Texans and co. are staying at the Embassy Suites.....it's about 450.00 for two nights, but sleeps 6, so that may be your best bet...(i think it's on Ohio street?...right by navy pier)...Nancy and i are staying at the Red Roof about a bl...

Christopher Bara

yeah, i'd say that wont be a good board either Brian. The wheelbase is too short, the board isnt something your can pump, the trucks are too wide and the wheels are for carving....You'd be best to part it out on Ebay....the wheels may not pull much, but you'll get something like 35.00 for the trucks...

Christopher Bara

Thanks Wes!....you're about right on the price....and i'm not good enough for it, but what the hell....it's purdy...

I'll have it in Chicago

see ya soon

Christopher Bara

Greg's coming down, but i dont think he's ready for skating yet. He's working on a skate-related project right now.....I'll let him divulge the details though

Christopher Bara

Hey Steve, if you're reading thru this, i finally got the Eurofighter set up. Love the board. http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/Boards/Turner/000_0026.jpg http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/Boards/Turner/000_0031.jpg http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/Boards/Turner/000_0027.jpg Here's my honest review...

Christopher Bara

Other than the 6 guys at the Embassy, where is everybody else staying at?

Christopher Bara

Dang Chris....i'm losing it.....hey, i just left you a voice mail after reading your last post.....but.....well, i forgot to read your post right about it....so disregard if you wish Gald to hear it came together.....i've only been in this for a year and a half, but as far as i can tell, you may be ...

Christopher Bara

Good point Kevin....hey Chef.....a great skate hill or bank is a good thing to keep secret...but that may not be the case for a race....especially for folks who are flying in Kev, not sure if you got a hotel yet, but they're filling up...yuo can always reserve a room and cancel if need be a couple d...

Christopher Bara

splitfire....

high quality, great steering when wedged, great price, great looks, low maintenance

Christopher Bara

Christopher Bara

Maybe the bar crawl should be Saturday night....

??

Christopher Bara

man, now the pressure's on me to make sure this hotel was the right choice!.... I trust the travel agents at the office though....we're in good hands.. Hey Chef, as far as the bar crawl.....i'm hoping these places will be close enough to walk to too...Nancy can skate but she says it'd be pretty hard...

Christopher Bara

hey whattup there Mark?....yeah, it was good to meet you and Sherry too.... I can tell you right now that youre gonna be hooked on cones.....you just had that look on your face.... Some of the guys will be out this Sunday too, but some of us have Fathersday goingson so i'm not sure how many....next ...

Christopher Bara

heh heh...wise ass...

sad but true, i reply before logging in....didnt know i could do that.....

Christopher Bara

(why this forum alway lists me as a "guest" is beyond me)

Christopher Bara

yeah i'm sure my wife would love that....

Actually, if she werent with me it'd be no problem....the Allegro's not too expensive for Chicago though!

Christopher Bara

son of a gun

An odd number of skaters in the bracket and i finished dead nuts in the middle

Thus fulfills my dedication to the relentless pursuit of mediocrity!

what a day this shall be

Christopher Bara

Chicken dropped me an email and let me know he's had some problems with his inbox not receiving messages....these things happen......he's working on getting it resolved....patience...

Christopher Bara

Christopher Bara

thanks for the props folks The 9bowl is pretty cool.......just for being what it is...Fadell and some other guys had the grand notion of building a private bowl in the back of one of their businesses, dug that thing out and rodded it themselves........That's the place that the Danforth pics were sho...

Troy Smart hit the nail on the head a while back. And Laura's right Looking good makes you fast It went something like this... "When i know i look good, i feel confident, when i feel confident i feel like i can do anything better, when i feel like i can do anything better, i usually do, faster in sl...

Christopher Bara

Tower Grove looks like a big park.......is the hill right where the star is on the map?...
South Drive and Tower Grove Avenue?

Christopher Bara

Thanks Chainsaw.........i wont know until Friday afternoon, but i'll post up if i need a place to crash.....moms and pops arent a problem with me if they dont mind.......and yep....i'll bring a med kit in case anybody gets a headache...(and the floor's fine)

Christopher Bara

Hey Lemmy, not sure which Chris you were asking, but Fadell and i should be rolling into town about 1:30 or 2:30 Central Time, depending on how much traffic we hit in Indy. Greg wont know for sure if he can make the trip until Friday morning That being said, if he cant make it, i'd hate to get a roo...
