YEEEAAAAHHHHH!
that hill is gnarly! i love it! i'm really excited to skate that hill more. i hope everybody had a good time last night, becuase i had a great time! billy- your stoke fuels us all. Trish- you made a lot of improvement last night. it was cool to see you finally get through the course. martin- always on and impressive. kevin- your compeditiveness is inspiring.

anyway, way stoked on last night, and i can't wait to skate more on that hill. i think the outlaw race on that hill will be awesome! we should plan it right and maybe have a couple of different events- one that everybody can feel confident on and a gnarly GS or something. make it a whole sunday morning thing...

kevin- thanks for making the copy of that DVD. i'll bring a 6 pack or something for your efforts, becuase they were much appreciated. it was weird watching our courses on the flats after last night...

We've raised the bar, and everybody made the transition well. i'm stoked and everybody else should be too!!!!

Glad to see you guys had fun. I couldn't make it out last night, something came up last minute. Maybe I'll get my skate on Sunday morning, eh? Where's the free parking around the U?

all parking at the university is free on sunday mornings. i don't think i will make it though. i've got to help the grandmother move...

Trish and I are going to skate the same "secret spot" at around 5:00 on saturday!!!!

mmmmmmmmmmm Slalom!!!!!

Thanks to every one for standing sideways!

Did that hill rock or what! And I reckon if there are only Realtor signs there we've probably got a couple of years use out of it potentially. I was really proud of how far you guys have come in such a rediculously short time.

Who's bringing the push broom next week? How about scaring ourselves with a Tight course on there?
From the 5th Sept, I may skate another evening (anywhere) as well, to tune up for Morro...Let me know if anyone is up for that...I won't finish til about 6.30/7pm, so I can get in an hour and a half maybe...
I need to practice some 50+ cone courses and some super-tight just in case.

Chris P. let me know if you want my old Avalons, Bordy is hassling me for them...But you were first! Still have the Stim?

Hey Mike, the girlfriend go all gooey when she saw you on TV?

Chris Peddecord · Post by **Chris Peddecord** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 2:08 am

Martin, I got your stims (all two of them), I can mail them up to you if you don't want to wait until next Thursday.

About the trimmed Avalons, I'd still like them but I found some used Manx wheels which are currently living on my sparkling new slalom machine. Go ahead and give 'em to Bordy, I won't cry too much. I'd eventually like to try trimmed avalons and get off of the Manx, however.

Martin Drayton · Post by **Martin Drayton** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 6:08 pm

Bring the Stims on Thursday Chris, I'll let you and Billy arm-wrestle for the Avalons!

PS Martin you have to compete in Pro....... Just you.... maybe Kevin too....... ha ha

Hey Team Utah!

Thanks Mike for the support, And Thanks to everyone for the words of support. I loved that feeling when I finally got through that course. Billy and I have since sessioned and he has really helped me figure out this setting up the turn thing. That and having the confidence to ride fast on a steeper hill. The parking lot thing will never be as satisfying again. I agree with Billy.....Lets race! But only if we have gong prizes for last place! Hey Kevin, can you make another copy of that interview from a copied DVD? I want one to send to my brother but the TV station wants to charge another 15 bucks. Let me know. You guys have a great session tomarow. Ride fast and hard! oh ya, thats a given!

Ride On

Trish

Christy and I will be there around 5:15 to set and start early, If any one shows before 6 we will be there.

Trish I thought you were proud to be part of the UPC. Even though you have friends from the DHB (and the shirt..)

Do we need UPC shirts too?

trish erickson · Post by **trish erickson** » Thu Sep 01, 2005 4:48 am

It's all about the swag baby!

Ok,

Proud member of the UPC!

Trish

Ps. THanks Billy for setting cones tonight. Man what a rush. Now if I could just get better.

Billy Bordy · Post by **Billy Bordy** » Thu Sep 01, 2005 4:52 am

You are much better and faster then the last time...

Plus I think you have the biggest board quiver in town...

Martin Drayton · Post by **Martin Drayton** » Thu Sep 01, 2005 7:40 am

The biggest in Heber....

Billy Bordy · Post by **Billy Bordy** » Thu Sep 01, 2005 5:18 pm

You still hold the title Obi-one-ka-Drayton.......

Secret board is very fun... it dumps speed on the steeps unless you pump!

trish erickson · Post by **trish erickson** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 4:48 pm

Wow Billy,

Sorry to hear about your shoulder. Sounds like you took a nasty fall. Drink lotsa milk and calcium pills. I need you back in the game soon or I will miss my knocks at my door asking if we can play! Not to mention Morro Bay! So sorry man. Kristy, thanks so much for the longboard. My nephew will love it! Sounds like last night was as fast as ever. Sorry I missed it. Hubby says MY new board rocks. (PP DAGGER). I can't wait to acually try it out. I am off to Vegas for the weekend. skate safe utah pavement crushers!

Trish

Bummed about your shoulder Billy...And you were just trying to help Chris by checking out his board set-up for him.
Heal fast my brother

Billy Bordy · Post by **Billy Bordy** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 1:04 am

Thanks for the kind words guys, but I'll be fine. I will just give me time to get faster before next years worlds. Plus I can now be the UPC gopher.

Here's a re-touch of the group shot:

Martin Drayton · Post by **Martin Drayton** » Mon Sep 05, 2005 8:58 am

Thanks Chris,
Don't be too handy on the old computer or you might find all sorts of jobs coming your way

.

By the way, I found that Seismic 110 still on the header card...Do you want me to bring it on Thursday?

Chris Peddecord · Post by **Chris Peddecord** » Wed Sep 07, 2005 1:50 am

That seismic is an older composite, right? Do have any idea if they can be run in the newer baseplates? My grand idea was to run a 30 degree flat in the rear. Any idea what the spring strength is?

Martin Drayton · Post by **Martin Drayton** » Wed Sep 07, 2005 2:37 am

Can't answer your baseplate question...Try Dan Gesmer. As for the springs, they are yellow...
