Someone takes care of my posts on this forum faster then you can say "where has the PVD forum gone and how much was to erase it?"

Vlad, it was a good race, I was a little bummed when Junior got taken out early. NASCAR gave Dale Jarrett the win, there was no need for that last lap caution! The Friday and Saturday night parties were a blast, my face still hurts from laughing so much!

Maybe a Friday night or weekend session?

Curt,

This is the race I told you about last summer when we were discussing "software" issues. If you want to travel a little immediately, we are sessioning at Hobby Park in Winston Salem on October 15. Talk to Parsons or John Dillon for a review of this hill. It is, to say the least, incredible. It's probably a five-hour drive for you. This is the Giant Slalom hill we'll be racing on Sunday, November 6.

Oh, and anyone else is certainly invited to ride. No one has yet to call on a full-on Downhillbillie Jam that Saturday, but it looks like a crew is showing up to ride. Some of the North Carolina crowd, a few from Georgia and anyone else within the sound of my voice who can make it.

Curt, the next race is in Statesville, NC. Should be a nice turnout of good racers. Look under the Down South thread for details.

If you want some practice time I am sure we can put together a little session to shake off the cobwebs.

What a race! Jeff, I was listening to the broadcast in 4 states! A nice run by Tony and an amazing win by Dale . Wish I was there with you. See you next week.

Hey Slap,
Was it your wedding?
I was down at the Mall & yea there were a bunch of protesters but not as many as several years ago...the media blew it up....I did see US Park Police tackle one dude on a skateboard...there is no Freedom in Freedom Plaza. His ticket was for 'skeeterboarding'...that's what it said on the ticket....I saw him and he wasn't skateboarding...he rolled into the park and immediately started talking to a homeless person. I was on my slalom board. The band Le Tigre rocked the best....they finished at 1am...they sounded like a cross between Kraftwerk and DEVO but w/ Polystyrene vocals.

We just ran 40x5.5ft with Ohm and had a couple of beers. I'll post a video for you a little later. There's a race in VT next week, and Ohm says - TS and Hybrid (!)

Slappy, are you protesting in DC, or are still at the wedding?
Wedding was in Va Beach. Just got back.
I'm in for a session this weekend.

I see Y’all started to session again, I guess you feel it’s safe knowing I’m not around. Well hell, maybe I’ll just stay here in the Volunteer State. My brother-in-law might be able to give me a job on his logging crew. The hell with Y’all. Maybe the Downhill Billies will take me in. there only four or five hours away from here. :-(

Soon, I will be able to skate w/you all on those fri eve sessions instead of just once in a blue moon. When I start the new job I'll have Fri and Sat off! Just dont schedule any races for Sunday as I will have to work then. Ohm dont forget about Sat Oct 29th:Lansdowne....a diff course will be set, and if we have enough time we could set the old course too for fun.You must wear your costume, though to race...but, not necessarily the same one you wear for the costume contest...2 diff contests...Vlad, you'd win the JG look-a-like contest for sure! I may dress up as lbk chasing his 2 kids.

Wes,

is it a rhetorical question?

I got paid today, and I can now buy one of these timers AND get a full tank of gas.

Mike, I sold my wireless timer and am getting a wired one. As soon as they build it.

J-Rad, of course there are no excuses! Do you know how much is it to spread the 2-m TS in Paris a bit? Our guy never won that one, and it's about time.

Mike, this week.

J-Rad, I'm leaving for a travel agency as I type. Find that quote for me, would you...

Jeff, thanks, the beltsander is adjusted. The result is stunning; we will have new bushings soon.

I should have more time to skate soon. A new Trakkmate with a beep-beep-beep-BEEEEEEP is being ordered. I don't like skating without a timer anymore.

Have a nice vacation.

Walker Friday night was a bust. Just as I got the cones set up it started to sprinkle which quickly turned into a light rain, I got four or five runs in before the pavement was too wet to skate.

Sometime after supper Sunday evening?

on Eisenhower at that site is a good choice. That was where I was going to hold a longboard jam session...it's a cool site. You are talking about the tall white bldg down the road from UPS, aren't you, Slappy? The lot is sloped as well.

Hey I noticed the Army is out of a building on Eisenhower Ave. It has a huge parking lot that was repaved not too long ago. It's between Van Dorn and the Eisenhower exit of the beltway on Eisenhower.
