If so, can you drop the links in this thread sometime?

How you been otherwise?

Keep me updated, I'm ready to rumble.

CF, just let me know when and where!!! I'll bring the whole shootin match...

Greg, knee's all better aye? I hear you dudes been hangin with Nature... Learning anything you'd like to share??

Greg Fadell · Post by **Greg Fadell** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 5:02 am

Hanging out with Nature was a treat, but I think the number one thing helping me right now is that I have gotten and continue to get in better shape. Rehab has help out a lot. That top secret ultra rebounding matterial I had them put in my knee is really working out (its kinda like having a yellow stim in your knee). I belive the slogan on the door was "We can rebuild him. We will make him better than before....bigger.........stronger.......faster..........and oh yes.....smarter"
Thats right, no more going 35mph with out pads or a helmet............Favero knows.

G. Fadell,

I realize you've done the "physical" therapy....but what about the mental side of things??

I think a therapeutic trip to Chi-town may be what the doctor ordered......

Please, let our friendly staff know if you'd like an appointment,

Sincerely, Dr. C. U. Thair

Chris,

I skated Grant Park from The Art Institute to McCormick Place. I bombed all those neat little hills around the Field Museum. I even found that little asphalt "alley" with the drop ins at both ends somewhere between Jackson and Balbo. What did I miss?

Freak Bros, other locals;

Evening sessions in town weekdays will work for me Tuesday and Friday nights at the moment. Other nights will be hit or miss for me but can be done on occasion.

Best recurring weekend day for me will be Sunday solid with occasional Saturdays Spring and Summer.

Shout back... SL.

Paul, thanks for the invite! I will be there for the Saturday festivities. Cannot stay the whole weekend

my parents are flying in for the weekend - my son is graduating Tuesday.

Spoke to JHarms and pretty sure I'm set to play. I have not signed up anywhere though, will just show up with a CHIxILL loaner Comet deck (thanks cf and cnova) and my vintage Hobie. I look forward to bombing some parking lots with you guys and ripping the awesome park course!
