Excellent....Might have to close the shop a little early!!! Can't wait to ride with everyone again. I keep running into people in PC with Longboards, so hopefully should see some new faces too.
Are we still interested in putting on a race at the end of the Summer? UPC T-shirts/hoodies anyone?

Martin Drayton

Well Trish and I re-christened our Hill. Today was my 1st time riding since October...Great session, damn that girl improves everytime she gets on a board... LOVED my reflex formula Grippins, they felt so good I was going full speed on my second run. I probably CAN'T make next Sunday Bob as its Moth...

Martin Drayton

Looks like he's supporting England at the World Cup this summer...Hmmmm.
COME ON TRINIDAD! SOCA WARRIORS FOR THE CUP!

Martin Drayton

I'd love to but I start work at the shop on Sunday :( .....So if you are passing Main St. feel free to pop in (no skate stuff yet though-just ordering) Has anyone got a preference for which night of the week to skate? I don't know what my schedule is yet. And do we want to start off somewhere flatte...

Martin Drayton

Hey Trish, Just catching up on sleep now. After 125 days on snow (working) and over 700hrs teaching I've had a little trouble staying awake! This is a pic taken last week by Paul Price on a rare morning off! http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/juliedrayton/DSC05582.jpg (For the snow nerds out the...

Martin Drayton

Sorry I've been quiet, but I just taught my 107th day on snow this winter..... I have worked over 600 hours so far with 3 weeks to go, a Park City record. It is still bloody snowing in PC, we have had 24" in the last 24 hrs! Looking forward to skating asap, just need a bit of dry weather...maybe Apr...

Martin Drayton

Joe...I love you baby! Thanks for the mag and special thanks for the piece of British Skate History and the Stim!
You Rock!

Martin Drayton

As soon as I have some spare time...yeah right!, come down and I'll get you sorted!

Martin Drayton

You are too nice! Thank you...from Maya too!

Martin Drayton

Joe, you are a lifesaver.....I just need you to get to the Post Office!!!!

PO Box 682890
Park City
Utah
84068

I will make it up to you!

Martin Drayton

Hey Mike, I'm out everyday working, 7 days so far....I've seen billy out training too. Its snowing really hard as I write. Thinking I will have to skate on either the 7th or 14th to test out some new formula green wheels on a decent length run...confined to parking garages at the moment. Any ideas?

Martin Drayton

Thanks guys, but I want a mag to keep to show Maya when she is older! I think there is a Splitfire ad with me in it too...so I really want to get the whole mag...

Martin Drayton

Hi there...I finally made it into a magazine and I cannot bloody find one!!!!! I am after the current issue with the slalom wind-up and Morro Bay report.
Its available at Tailtap, but the postage is $8 !!!!...Within the US! HELP........

Martin Drayton

Happy Birthday...Youngster! Rock on Don.

Martin Drayton

Thanks Boyz, but all is sorted now!

Martin Drayton

This board is a tribute to all the special people and places that have made me the person that I am... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/martindrayton/martindrayton_1_board_proof.jpg Big thanks to OriginalSnowboardArt.com, artist Justin Sola, Ed Spearing for the Morro pic, Paul Price and Ian St...

Martin Drayton

What a great weekend of skating! To top it off rode with Floyd http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/martindrayton/Dsc01665.jpg and Eric "Tuma" Britton, 4th generation Z-Boy (who is no slouch through cones!) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/martindrayton/Dsc01664.jpg And here is the view down...

Martin Drayton

A cool little session with Steve Evans, Brent Kosick and Mike Gorman yesterday! Thanks for showing me a nice little place to skate and as ever picked up some more pearls of wisdom from "The Professor"...Thank you. Not enough time for a full-on skate today, but might just have to have a little cruise...

Martin Drayton

calling Steve Collins...fancy a skate Sunday morning? I have a couple of newbies with me who fancy a mellow intro to the fine art of wiggling...Do you have cones? You can call me on 435-513-1609 or landline 310-440-4066.

Martin Drayton

Gets better every time! I've said it once and I'll say it again...the easiest high performance truck to get used to AND the best value! Its also damned sexy looking too...

Martin Drayton

Not to get my butt too badly kicked if I race Pro next season...And make as many races as my wallet and family will allow.

Martin Drayton

So excited for you guys, sounds like an instant classic...just all getting to hang out together will be a blast! Good luck Marion, I'm sure everything will go smoothly...wish I could be there to add some extra "colour" to the event ;) SK8 safe everyone, make some turns for those of us who would love...

Martin Drayton

Well, we've talked about it....Should we do it? What are everyones ideas? I suppose we need to find out who to talk to, and where they will let us use before we can decide on events... Personally I would love to see a dual TS somewhere very public...Think they would re-surface the bottom of Main Str...

Martin Drayton

Have to say no....Sadly I'm in 70 degree heat in LA and am going to skate with "The Professor" Steve Evans tomorrow.... The snowboard clients we are staying with took me to a skate shop called Rip City to get some stuff for their son. The shop was like a Dogtown/Old School museum...Kevin, you would ...

Martin Drayton

One of my wealthy, and generous, private snowboard clients is flying Julie, myself and Maya to LA for this weekend. They couldn't come to Park City to meet our little girl, so they are flying us in... Is anyone running some cones on either Friday evening or Sunday morning? I will only have room for ...

Martin Drayton

Yeah Kevin, hang on to my wheels and either give them to Trish when you see her next or give them to me whenever...Can you send me your address, I still have clippings for you from the Park Record newspaper!

Martin Drayton

I cannot believe you are 21 today and you have done so much already!!!!
Sk8 on little brother!

Martin Drayton

Ellis, drop Sam a line, he helped sort out mine. If he can't do it, he'll know a man that can!

Martin Drayton

Hi Trish, you've got my cones...so I'll skate wherever you say! Heber or Park City, somewhere thats not a bust!
I'd love to try a Hybrid course to test out my new wider Dragonslayer trucks....Either send an e-mail, post here or give me a call.

Martin Drayton

Hey Mike,
Sunday works for me...Not the whole day (Family time), but the slalom part. Keep me posted.
I have a new front Dragonslayer I want to try before the snow hits!

Martin Drayton

Karl, there are a lot of Stim fans on Silverfish Longboarding site....Try posting in the Wanted Forum there too!
Oh, and once you get them DON'T LET THEM GO!

Martin Drayton

Anyone running some cones this coming weekend? I'm looking for someone to play with...Saturday or Sunday, PC, Heber or SLC. How did last weekends outing go? Did you run 100 cones? Hey Billy, Can I test out one of your toe blocks? I've been a bit put off the big foam wedge since my friend Eddie Spear...

Martin Drayton

I reckon Paul Price has now earned the title of Britain's top TS skater due to his impressive list of results in the last few years...In fact I would say he is our most successful racer ever!
Hows that Sam!

Oh, Ellis, I hope you are using that Turner Fatboy I gave you!

Martin Drayton

Hi Gary/Wax,

Saw on the site that the 3rd generation Splits/Dragons will be arriving mid-November. If its not giving too much away, how will they differ?
Version 2 went from Tracker baseplates to Randals...Version 3?

Martin Drayton

Personally Etienne, I love the white Khiros in my front truck and I weigh 80KG(175lb)! True, they don't last that long, but they burn bright. I am definately an advocate of the loose front trucks school and have found that the least expensive white Khiros paired with cup washers last longer than the...

Martin Drayton

This weekend is the last one PCMR is open, so I miss this one, but should be clear after this...
Let me know when you want to do 100 cones, haven't done it since '82 and that was down Brands Hatch (steep), its a blast and I would love to try it again!

Martin Drayton

Good luck with that Haggy-Long time no see!...It'll be interesting to see if Eddie Spearing comes over from NZ to give you a run for your money! Dave, I remember meeting you in the pre-qualifying at Avila Beach...You were super nice to me and deserve every success you get! Well done on your Morro su...

Martin Drayton

Erin, they are getting as rare as Rocking Horse Poo! A GREAT alternative is the SF/DS 90mm...But then again, there is a bit of a queue for those too!

Martin Drayton

Happy Birthday (on the 11th) to Paul Price, my friend and the UK's most succesful racer ever!
SK8 on!

Martin, Julie & Maya xxx

Martin Drayton

They are on the way to your inbox!

Martin Drayton

Looks like a wicked time was had by all! Well done Vince, I hope the Pros were looking at your results and shaking in their skate shoes!
Sam Gordon....Bloody good times mate! Paul Henry..best pic racing I have ever seen of you!

Oh, Vincent, do I see a little red truck on the front? Good aren't they!

Martin Drayton

They work, I just found stuff that works better for me...I have run similar spacing on it...but I was faster with the Gus, and the DS90mm's put me on the podium at Morro!

Martin Drayton

Hi Erin, As a TS-lover (and a bigtime Roe user), I would suggest the Chindy 88 over the 101. This is because with clever use of the spacers you can use it for TS and Hybrid. The 101 is a touch wide for true TS. The same options are possible with the truck I switched to last month...The mighty Dragon...

Martin Drayton

The issue that came out today has pics of Kevin, Kelby and Dustin...I have copies for Kev & Kelb!
Also check out their website for pics of some of the rest of you guys! http://parkrecord.mycapture.com/mycaptu ... vent=66091
Martin.

Martin Drayton

Thanks Marion,
I am still kinda partial to the Turners, they are the only bearings that run longer on the spin test than my Moc-9's...In fact the one set I have are so fast that I noticed at Morro that a slight breeze causes my wheels to move

Martin Drayton

WOW!!!! What an amazing day... It made all that hard work worthwhile to see all those happy faces at the end of the day. Once I get the paperwork off "MC Billy", I will post full results. I cannot believe that this all started with a conversation between Jeremy Davis and myself and an e-mail from me...

Martin Drayton

Woke up at 3:15am and suddenly remembered stuff! 1)So that the top of the course doesn't get too crowded, I'm thinking we should get people to park in the Lower Cul-de-sac of Eagle Pointe (actual name of the hill) once the top area starts to get full. 2)I will put signs on race day directing people ...

Martin Drayton

Thanks Marion! Just wish we could all beam ourselves down to your race, sounds like it would be a blast! I think 5 more riders from PC are coming, folks that I work with. One is a good outside bet, he has some slalom skills. Also, remember the video guy from PCTV? Well looks like his talented brothe...

Martin Drayton

Does anyone know where I can get any more Turner Ceramic bearings? Ideally unused...

Martin Drayton

Yeah Mike, he is, but people will also have to pace themselves...Its a loooooooong day! Slip him a few beers as the day goes on!

STOP PRESS! Andy from Max's shop here in PC has arranged for a TV company to come film!!!!
