Ditto.

let me know what you guys get up to, I'd like to say "hi" and hang out if possible.

Tway:

Welcome back to Toronto and that wonderful "no-tell" motel

Give me a shout when you get into town (if you don't have my numbers - I will PM them to you)

Bring shoes - I can provide the rest if you want to run a few cones

If not, beers and indian food a la BUS

Looking forward to hanging out

Rob

Yo Chris, Mike and Rob,

I'll be in your hood Monday night thru. Thursday. Can't skate but I'd love to share some killer India food with you guys.

Rob,

I'll be staying at the same old (but revamped) Days Inn in Mississauga (905-238-5480)

Looking forward to partying in the Microbus.

down like a clown charlie brown!!

this is the park tway

its pretty decent, we've been hitting it up on a regular basis, and the natives have always been really cool people. Would a race be held via Moatfield?

Can you see that park from the HWY? I recall seeing one driving from the airport to our hotel. Let's get us some round wall.

Or maybe we can orgainze an outlaw race?

thats the one, and hell yeah we will hit some round wall...

Hvae a nice visit Bill. It's a nice piece of work.

Right off one of the many Toronto Highways.

Civ,

tway, there is a nice cement park in mississauga too!! near the airport kinda. There is a solid slalom crew up here now. Im only 25 min away from there too!. and nice pic tway!.

Yo Roberto,

I'm scheduled to be in Mississauga mid May.

Let's party!

tway

Jeeze Rob,

Now that's a quiver to be proud of. Are you gonna bring your step-son Mike with you to Nor Carolina?

And what say you Lemonboy? It's time to come back down south and pop some more eyeballs and re-inforce your standing as the fastest man with the goofiest gloves.

The Saturday race will be a cool dual lane hybrid like Saturday was in Athens, again right in the middle of town. The Sunday GS will be on the screamingest hill we have found and it's butta smooth.

Ya'll coming to Mayberry? (Marion will hate me for that one, but it's true.)

I can't speak for Civ, but I would go back in a freakin heartbeat. That was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Where is Ball Dam?

Nice lineup there playboy......I officially hate you now........

Anyways,

If the rumors of another Texas race pan out (Oct??) I'll head there for sure. I've got alot of family down that way. would be a nice season ender for me...

Did you hear Chris Favero is trying to set up some sessions in Chicago to stoke up some newbies. Would you dudes come down for a couple of days of intense practice??

Kara is trying to get me to focus on a schedule for next year and I'd like to get up your way
for Ottawa or even Top Challenge if they keep including slalom...

Think about Chi-Town though....I don't think it would take much effort to get Civ and Chris back there

Tod

Tod:

Pocket Pistols arrived - absolutely love them.

Roe now belongs to TK and he is loving it.

On the list to try one of Sidlo's "projects" - saw the one Joe I has - very interesting.

Here are my new ladies:



What races are you planning for the Fall.

Marty - Mr. Karr's race is on my schedule, so is the Ball Dam race in late September

All the best,

Rob

Rob,

Walking the little golf course I frequent is all the training I need......very hilly!!!!

Sidlo hooked me up with a deck that apparently seems to like me...
Did you ever take delivery of a PPS foamy?? Did you sell your Roe?

L8R, Tod

and even fewer firearms

arf arf arf. i kid.

So rob, I come back tommorow from my cottage, I hope we can get some more slalom in. I just finished a prototype I'd like to shakedown.

Rob, Tod, Civ,

If we are to hook up before season's end then you guys have to come to Marion's contest. If not for any reason than just to ride the soap box/GS hill. It is sooooo fast. Make plans to attend and maybe this time Civ can bring a Sens chair.

Rock on Lemonboy!!!

Marty

Speaking of practice - from I heard that you are hauling ass lately.

How many hours per week are you spending on your board, and the golf course.

Us Canadian's need to stick together - there aren't too many of us.

Ran a GS last night at our new spot - three hours of high speed cones.

Tod and Marty - hope we hook up again this season before it ends.

All the best

Rob

Rob,

Damit man, You're supposed to tell Civ that practice is overrated.............

Mike,

What do you care what kind of course you run? Your gonna haul anyway!

P.S. My kids love the chair.


Marty

yo rob, i would be down, I havent run cones since the farm. What time are you thinking?...also what kind of course do you want to run? We have to do the 100 coner sometime this summer. But im down for gs too, whatever. Call me.

To Any Riders in Toronto/GTA:

There will be a session tonight at the new spot for anyone who is interested in running cones.

The "new" spot is on Moatfield Road - Don Mills and York Mills area.

All the best,

Rob

don't worry rob, I'm doing my best to recruit

Hi Rob, Mike Cividino is in Hamilton although I have not heard from him in a while. He did go to the Gathering last year.

Also try getting ahold of Mike Brooke at Concrete Wave. or skategeezer. mike is in T.O.

If I'm heading that way at all I'll let you know.

Hey Everyone

I am based in Toronto and just recently got into slalom. I am hoping that there are other riders out there who are interested in running cones, both training and racing.

I am interested in starting a Toronto GRASS, but need others to be interested to make it a reality.

Interested in current slalomers as well as people who want to experience the thrill.

Feel free to post your contact information here if you are interested.

Thanks

Rob
