A little poem, called “On the Other Hand”
(with reference to pgs 2 and 3).
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the sexiest bitch of all?
Chaput’s well over the hill-
He should stick to downhill!
Give me a break, give it a rest!
You don’t recall Christina’s...beauty?!
Gilmour’s got a sexy car
I’d rather call <i>IT</i> a porn-star.
The Mers’s <i>driver</i> could be thinner
Should people choose <i>him</i> as a winner!
To name THE one? – I will be glad!
My choice, of course, is comrade...Joe Iacovelli!
Happy Holidays!

ICK-boy, you are right that all of this is in good spirits. But my 5 cones are still on the table!On 2002-12-14 00:36, Henry Julier wrote:

Just to make sure I'm on the right page with everyone, all this smack is purely nonsense- none of it is serious because I don't have a mean bone in my body. And if you've met me, you know that I'm mostly bone. And some muscle.
Henry
I said I WORE a dress once. Here si the quick version: Halloween.
So let's not blow things out of proportion here.
Tucker, be afraid. Be very afraid! It is quite an ugly sight.
Comets need more snap!

I have worn a dress before, so I have no fear.On 2002-12-13 16:15, Joe Iacovelli wrote:
Tway - yeah real funny unless you're Joe Iacovelli. Since TK has the bad wrists and Sandy "the human crayon" Kirby has a bun in the oven, I'll step to the left and let Terry get his needlenose polished, his cones stacked, his bearings oiled. I'll wait for the Carl Kincaid / Kim Cespedes grudge match.
Matt - I stepped aside during the tight slalom at Da Farm. I knew from the speed of the hill I couldn't make the course. I thought the run I didn't take was one a more qualified racer could take before it rained. I hope to be a more qualified racer next year.
Back to the smack!
Henry. When the snow melts we'll set a course more suiting or skill levels. Matt, you're welcome too. 5 cones, $10, fine but unimaginative. If I win you wear a dress to the farm.
Joe

Chaput- you're wrong. I'm actually aiming quite low.
;-D
I am all about challenges, but the WWF talk is for fools, so I will not engage. We'll let the racing speak for itself!
Now enough of your yapping!! Get out and practice....I am!!

That is almost a deal, Mr. J. However, I do not deal in actual money, but cones. So, does 5 Turner cones sound good? If so, then you're on. And though I may lose (the 1st time), I will not go down crying, but with honor, integrity, and the promise to double the bet the next time. But who knows! Maybe I'll win.On 2002-12-12 20:17, Henry Julier wrote:

Joe, if I lose, you must take him. A boy such as this should learn to respect his elders. One thing I have learned in this sport is this: age, as of yet, is of little consequence.
Though, I do have one doubt about you, Joe. Didn't you bag out on the tight slalom at da Farm??
One last thing. The degradation of one's name will not be tolerated!!! "vasocrappa"??? Watch that typing there, Henry! A proper young gentleman such as yourself should not fall prey to such pitiful self-reduction.
Happy skating!

Joe, You're right. I am the sexiest slalom rider on the planet. I just looked at that picture of me with the shiny shorts and the lei and I'm falling in love all over again. Hair, teeth, muscles. Mmmmmm. No wonder I didn't notice Christina's breasts at the Chinese food restaurant in Boston and at Red Bull's Urban Waves afterparty in New York. There was a mirror there.
There's still time to share the love this Christmas. Full sized autographed glossies are available to all with a credit card or PayPal account. I think that it's kind of interesting that my two first customers have asked that I sign it to their wives named Wesley and Joe and to include some cologne.
BTW, I think that racing for cones is a great idea. The guy with the biggest stack at the end of the day is the obvious rabbit. The cones never really leave the slalom community and are perhaps donated to those who need them most, namely the sorry ass weak pieces of cow dung who lost them to Gilmour and me in the first place.
Wesley, Don't be so hard on Henry H for wanting to bet money, even if he is a "pathetic posers who owns a few FibreFlexes". He has a cute young daughter and you don't want to burn your bridges.
Wesley, I won't go to Folly if you're not there or if I can't get a cheap flight to Switzerland. They make good watches and so I'm going to assume that you screwed up the timing of the two conflicting events. Please change yours.
Lastly, I know that Dave Gale is not the only one featured in this charming and warm holiday greeting. Please go and see if you can spot yourself. I hope Martin doesn't feel left out again.

First I would like to say that you all SUCK!!
I'm a little cranky right now.
I live on this cold, wet, grey, depressing island that is going to be cold, wet, grey and depressing for another 3 months, minimum.
California dreaming.
Actually, only some of you suck.
I'd like to follow that by saying "you know who you are" but the problem is I don't think you do.
Allow me to share a little anecdote.
I made a few embarassing posts on NCDSA a while back. (its funny how 5 or 6 beers and anonymity [except for the work of one super IP slueth] can make one seem very clever and funny.
I very much regretted doing it later but the damage was done.
Since then I have tried to make an effort to display a little more restraint, self control, and maturity.
To remind myself, I pasted a post it note to the top of my monitor that simply says "DONT".
Whenever I feel like being "clever" again, I look up at this note.
It helps.
Brady, Wesley, and maybe even ARAB (although I enjoy reading his posts) should consider this.
This is a great site.
You're f*cking it up.
RESTRAINT, SELF-CONTROL, MATURITY.
Repeat, rinse, repeat.
XOXOXO
Troy
P.S. I miss you Gilmour. Please come back.

John,
For the record, Claude and I also raced pro at the World's. I qualified fast enough in the "C" group to move up to the "B" Group on Friday where I was eliminated by Atilla.
Claude lucked out in that he was 33rd out of 32 qualifiers. When Bad H looked at Main Street Morro Bay and decided he didn't like the run out, Claude moved up as "first alternate." (At least, the run out rumor is what was floating all over the street that morning.) He met Paul Dunn in the first bracket of the Round of 32. (I'm pretty sure it was Paul: Claude was seeded 32 and Paul was 1.)

Arab Here's the rabbit origin. I prefer to think of it as Hef's logo- I'm wearing the Rabbit on my belt in my photo.Anyway, John Gilmour , All the guys you mentioned Me, Noah, Curt, 13, etc are all gunning for YOU! You are now the prey, the fast little rabbit,and we are the fox pups getting stronger and ready to leave the den. So... Eat lots of ice cream and pancakes,surf the web at least 14 hours a day, be sure to avoide any physical activity outdoors(sex however is encouraged)and stay here in the Northeast. We'll see you in the spring.
Noah raced the World's race as Pro from the East but other than that, I don't think we had anyone else in Pro class to race the West. I'd like to see some more East guys in Pro class next year.
And Matt- just as Chips are the first step to separateing a man from his money in Gambling- so should be cones. Though Money can be substitited for cones if need be.
You could say- "I'll spot you 4 cones." So not only do you have to beat the other guy by 4 cones, but the other guy also has to pay you 4 less cones if he loses.
More cones are good.

John, this is what I said as a joke in a post somneewhere else. However, I think money might be pushing it for a lot of folks. So, I proposed cones! You bet cones. Kind of like chips in poker. You see money goes real fast and for the most of us, our status can not be flaunted by the cash we flash. Rather, he/she who shows up to practices with the most cones is bound to stike fear, inspiration, whatever in everyone else there. We will want to work to WIN some of those cones away from other people. It will be a bit of a status thing and one that I think would work quite well.On 2002-12-12 00:37, John Gilmour wrote:
As for smack talking. I think everytime some smack is bantered around it must be followed with a "bid".
Let's face it....a bunch of skaters scrounging for gear on EBAY paying ridiculous prices for 25 year old OJ's and hard to find Roller Skate wheels using strange bidding names is what got manufacturing going again. We are all used to bidding- it was and is good for the sport.
So If you post some smack- it must get followed with a "Bid" (can't legally call it betting). So for instance let's say Henry J calls out Matt Wilson. Henry J's post might look like this.
"Matt your "Bass" ain't .......blah blah blah blah....and further more blah blah blah and I'll easily beat you....blah blah blah.
........................................$5"
Henry might counter with "Yeah...well....Blah Blah blah- got some faster prototypes from Rick.....blah blah blah.
.................$10
Matt could say "blah blah......$15
"bid amounts are always at the very end of the post with a dotted line- to pick them out easily.
So when we get a race where we know both Matt and Henry J will show up- they go for the bucks. Highest smack talking bid gets Lane choice.
Once we know you'll be at a race (in a few weeks) that is where the fun starts. Then other people can "Back you to raise the stakes." TK might say.....yeah I've been coaching Matt and I'll back him with $50. PSR might say...well I've been coaching Henry J since he is near me and I'll match that $50. (of course it is really a side bet between TK and PSR but we incorporate it into one bet to see how big the whole deal really is.)
You could see some big bucks going down even between Newbies...even if they don't have any cash themselves. Coaching newbies has rewards and makes it all the more interesting.
But if you don't have the cash to back it up or someone to back you...well you have to behave.
The "accountant" gets 10% off the top for managing the "bids" and is selected by the two racers. All bid increments must get matched....so if you start out with $5......it is $5 increments......until someone ups the ante. So it could go back and forth at $5,$10,$15......and then someone ups the ante to $40 ($25 more) so now the bidding increment is $25....so the next minimum bid would be $65. Once the bidding raises over $20 the two have to declare races that they can attend and agree on one....or the smack is over. If a racer doesn't show up- he forfeits. (With a threaded forum like this it is easy to keep track because you can always "quote the other guy in your posts".
could get funny pretty fast. You can toss in new currently available gear at 50% of retail to cover a bid. No food stamps please. Paypal-what would we do without you.
What got me thinking about this, was our last session in Acton, MA. My cones were accidentally picked up by TK. When I emailed and asked if he had them, he said, "yes," but that I couldn't get them back until I could reach such and such a goal. Now that is inspiration!! Losing money just makes me feel broke and then maybe even scared to race. But to know that I can win cones drives me to want to work harder.
And next, it may create a greater demand for cones, which will not only help companies with selling them, but may also drive the price down a bit for good cones. $2/ cone isn't too bad, but a $1.50/ cone would be better.

Hey can I join in on all the fun?
Sorry I cant take sides because I dont like anybody!
Gilmour What do you mean by the Rabbit comment west coast/europe thing?
As an East Coaster your not tellin the boys on yer side of the Missazeri river that if they want to get up to snuff against the WEST or Europe they have to follow the rabbit(you)
While I'll take that as a compliment!
And I'll second that, follow the Bunny eastside, I learned alot from JG and you can too!

Certainly is "the dark side of the cone."
Porn Star? Hmmmmm I guess I got that from my unusual fashion sense. Hugh Hefner used to race- twin "courses" at the same time- even he never knew which one would finish first.
As I get more out of shape- I don't worry -I figure if I want you guys to get faster....I have to to get you near the rabbit
It's the only way to get you guys ready for racing in Europe and the West Coast. Coaching UR13 and Vlad certainly got a lot of you moving- they're going to get a lot faster. I hear one is running this winter......

Let's face it....a bunch of skaters scrounging for gear on EBAY paying ridiculous prices for 25 year old OJ's and hard to find Roller Skate wheels using strange bidding names is what got manufacturing going again. We are all used to bidding- it was and is good for the sport.
So If you post some smack- it must get followed with a "Bid" (can't legally call it betting). So for instance let's say Henry J calls out Matt Wilson. Henry J's post might look like this.
"Matt your "Bass" ain't .......blah blah blah blah....and further more blah blah blah and I'll easily beat you....blah blah blah.
........................................$5"
Henry might counter with "Yeah...well....Blah Blah blah- got some faster prototypes from Rick.....blah blah blah.
.................$10
Matt could say "blah blah......$15
"bid amounts are always at the very end of the post with a dotted line- to pick them out easily.
So when we get a race where we know both Matt and Henry J will show up- they go for the bucks. Highest smack talking bid gets Lane choice.
Once we know you'll be at a race (in a few weeks) that is where the fun starts. Then other people can "Back you to raise the stakes." TK might say.....yeah I've been coaching Matt and I'll back him with $50. PSR might say...well I've been coaching Henry J since he is near me and I'll match that $50. (of course it is really a side bet between TK and PSR but we incorporate it into one bet to see how big the whole deal really is.)
You could see some big bucks going down even between Newbies...even if they don't have any cash themselves. Coaching newbies has rewards and makes it all the more interesting.
But if you don't have the cash to back it up or someone to back you...well you have to behave.
The "accountant" gets 10% off the top for managing the "bids" and is selected by the two racers. All bid increments must get matched....so if you start out with $5......it is $5 increments......until someone ups the ante. So it could go back and forth at $5,$10,$15......and then someone ups the ante to $40 ($25 more) so now the bidding increment is $25....so the next minimum bid would be $65. Once the bidding raises over $20 the two have to declare races that they can attend and agree on one....or the smack is over. If a racer doesn't show up- he forfeits. (With a threaded forum like this it is easy to keep track because you can always "quote the other guy in your posts".
could get funny pretty fast. You can toss in new currently available gear at 50% of retail to cover a bid. No food stamps please. Paypal-what would we do without you.

Joe, I intend to race. I intend to race a lot. Just like I did this year.
I have no idea what Brady intends to do. Probably pose and delude himself into believing he's making a valuable contribution.
Sure, if he comes up in the bracket opposite me I'll race him. Well, I'll race the clock. He'll race to the first cone before he realizes he's completely incapable of making a real slalom course. At which point he'll pull up lame, proclaim a cramp or some other female malady and hobble off the course wondering why it always happens to him.
No matter though. Whether we meet in the brackets or not makes no difference. Issues will be settled to my satisfaction.

Again Brady reveals his stupidity. The difference in mere "words" is the difference between a racer and a poser. Simple as that. (As a quick point, there is a difference between "stupidity" and "ignorance." "Ignorance" is not knowing, "stupidity" is knowing better. A man of Brady's advanced years should obviously know better, ergo, he's stupid. Logic is a wonderful thing.)
Brady called me a "dick." Well, as disgusting as it appears, it is of course completely absurd. Maybe I conjure up images of a 6'2" penis in Brady's mind's eye, but only he can confess to that sort of preoccupation. As such, calling someone a "dick" is not libelous on its very face. (By the way, Brady, when it's written, it's libelous. It's only slanderous if its spoken word. Like if I see you on the street corner and describe you accurately, that may be cause for slander. Of course, as I prefaced my explanation, it would be accurate, therefore no slander can be inferred.) A more common example is "S.O.B." Sure its' nasty. No one wants to see that in print. But it is patently ridiculous to assume anyone human is canine offspring. Since it is patently absurd, it can't be libelous.
Calling Brady a "Poser" though is completely different. it's not only accurate, but substantiated. The list of witnesses who can testify that Brady spends all his time at skating events standing around posing is, well, as long as the list of people who have seen him appear at a skating event. Calling him a "loser" is equally deliberate and of course "keyboard racer" is a term than I can only offer endless gratitude to my racing colleague, Joe Iacovelli.
So, yes, Brady, there is a tremendous difference in mere words. It's a difference that obviously eludes you, but those of us with a modicum of education and experience understand it clearly.
Maybe you should get out more?
Just not out where I am.

Adam,
I respect your admonishment and actaully it makes sense, But consider this, what is the differance of mere words? Which has more bite? Dick or Poser? A slander is a slander. I`ll lay back on the tone but I won`t stop calling it as I see it unless you decide to hinder me from your message board.
Peace out y`all...see ya in `03 (or sooner)

Scabs what are you smoking? "West coast brown nosed blindness"? Hahahahahaah. That is so my motto for 2003.

Wesley,
I edited Brady's post and now I can see that I did make a mistake getting between you and him editing his post. You are perpetuating just as much as Brady is.
Brady,
Feel free to "defend" yourself.
I made a mistake editing your post. You can go back in and put in Wesley's name.
I appologize for editing your post. Yours is only the second that I have edited besides ARAB's.
It was my intention to make a clean site. It simply isn't going to happen.
Feel free to rip each other to shreds.

Brady,
This is simple.
Your post was very harsh indeed and the liberty that I took to "edit" your post was based on not only my opinion but that of others.
As I have written before, anyone can search ALL of your posts very easily and see the tone and content that you post.
Yes, I believe in freedom of speach, I also now believe what people warned me about.
Take it easy will you? We are all trying to have some fun, try to run the course clean and not knock down too many cones.
You are welcome here but don't make a mess that you can't clean up.
Season's Greetings.

Originally when Brady wrote this story, there was a line in there how everyone told him that if I was involved in the next Folly race, no one would come. Seems that little fabrication died a horrible death. The overall response I've heard and read about the event is that if only a fraction of the vibe from that weekend can be resurrected, everyone will do everything possible to be a part of it again. Who's right on this one? All I know is what I read in the papers. Brady's the one who alleges to have the real pulse of the slalom world. If anyone would know, it would be him . . . right?
Secondly, I did not come away from Folly with "some kind of thing" about Brady. I was just thoroughly disappointed and a bit disgusted at what a completely worthless skateboarder he is. When I decided Brady's mouth needed to be disciplined is when he decided he was in a position to dictate what I needed to do to satisfy his sense of what is and is not important for slalom. When he said in the comfort of his cave in South Florida that I had to travel to West Virginia for the good of the sport, that's when I took it upon myself to remove him from the company of good racing folk. He's still around, but it's still early.
This will all be settled whenever Brady shows his face in the same place I am. No words, no threats, no smack. Just me doing what's necessary to illustrate what a completely worthless posing keyboard-racing loser Brady Mitchell is. His delusions about his own importance and the validity of his meaningless opinions will only be dissipated by something other than words.
For those of you reading this who are feeling a bit of Deja vu, it is being repeated. This exact same exchange went on the NCDSA "events" page before and after the West Virginia race and the Grass Roots race in Mississippi. Fortunately for Brady, the entire exchange was deleted by Adam N and the whole issue faded. But whadda 'ya know, here it is again. I'm still skating, Brady's still posing and his visage is still facing a serious rearrangement. Some things never change.
Oh, last time there was some mention of how money would make things better. Make a bet and race. 'fraid not. I race against skateboarders, not pathetic posers who own a few fibreflexes and feel that justifies their petty existence and excrutiatingly abrasive opinions. Nope, nothing will be settled between the cones. Something, though, will be settled whenever Brady crawls out his hole and decides to mingle in the company of decent people and I happen to be there too.
P.S. This is the "dark side of the cone." I really would like to know how many of you are not coming to Folly because of me. If that's the case, I'll gladly step aside and Tasos can do it alone. Of course, since Gilmour's committed to Switzerland, he won't be there to defend his crown. (DIdn't anyone catch that Swiss schedule conflict?) But, hey, maybe that just means somebody else can win the Happy Gilmour checks?
Maybe even Brady Mitchell? . . . Nah, I don't think so.
P.P.S. I like my shirts. Do the initials "F.A.Y." ring any bells? If not, ask Chaput!

scabs...this is all of what your 4th post on this site and youa re already starting your complaining and whining?
What is this thing you have with "on my own dime". On EVERY post with you it is either..."Oh I was hanging with Alan G at Olliewood"..."Oh Florida has such nice weather"..."I went to races on my own dime". Do you think you are the only one who does that? What are guys like myself or wesley magically getting martians to pay our way to races? We all spend our OWN money to race so please drop it.
Wesley T. may like to type, he may have some ugly ass shirts and he may skate a style that only one other person currently does....but Wesley is a real guy and actually a pretty nice guy who loves slalom. At Morro 02 on Avila Beach when NO ONE ELSE wanted to conehead Wesley was there at the bottom picking up the mess. Each race is different and I know when I am in a zone and racing picking up cones is the last thing I will do so call me a dick to please.
Lets ride some of your courses. I didn't ride Wesley's but have ridden courses he has set and enjoyed them.
We don't care about who you know, where you live, what you injured or what you payed for. So just shut up.
Please leave your pathetic posts to ncdsa.com where youa re also NOT LIKED. Don't bring that trash here.

Dang! Thats some heavy shit! I say you guys duel it out at Da farm 03 and the loser buys beer for everyone and has to give the winner of the Henry J and Joe Iacovali grudge a hand job.
Anyway, John Gilmour , All the guys you mentioned Me, Noah, Curt, 13, etc are all gunning for YOU! You are now the prey, the fast little rabbit,and we are the fox pups getting stronger and ready to leave the den. So... Eat lots of ice cream and pancakes,surf the web at least 14 hours a day, be sure to avoide any physical activity outdoors(sex however is encouraged)and stay here in the Northeast. We'll see you in the spring.

Finale @ DC `01....qualified last (1st time out, paid in full by moi) where`s ______ ______???
La Costa `01...didn`t make it passed qualifying, (2nd time out, again all on my own dime, stuck with $800 rent-a-car bill, not worth discussing) again, where`s ______.
King of Kona `02...fractured rib in practice, pulled out before qualifying... and again, no ______.
Shit, nobody heard of this dude yet.
Yet all of sudden this EXPERT sets the course at Folly Beach `02. The course? Total lame ass dick course set by one who admits to have not skated on a long deck. Everyone there said the same thing. And your qualifying in the longboard race @ FB? Tell the truth ______, only half of those that tried to qualfy did. The guy you beat in round of 16 (there was only 16) and you get the guys that posted a time more than double all others qualifying. I got taken out by Chaput.
Here`s a clue to all about why ______ has such a thang for me...during practice, while some were attempting to practice and cone marshal. ______ kept taking run after run and would not lift a finger. Another person had made comment to ______ about his non=participation. His comment..."I don`t cone marshal". Well, again ______ had taken another run and knocked down some cones. I, at the time, was mid-course so I instinctively leaned over to pick up and reset a cone. Low and behold, ______ had just turned around and was barreling back through the course (the opposite direction) and as I was peplacicing the cone, he came up on me and screamed at me from behind.."WATCH IT!!!" which immediately drew a response from me..."QUIT BEING A DICK!!!".
So ______. as from am earlier perspective, you were a non-racer, but more than that, you ARE a DICK!!!
I don`t need anyone to back me up as I am not a POSER like you are. Name one podium win by you??? Awfully quiet there?? I`ve participated in events before you were even known, then you are known (for setting the lamest dick ass course EVER).
So get over it you KOOK!!! Maybe if you ever got laid, you`d be a real man...
Done fer now............
ed note: Please refrain from posts of this nature. Best Regards and Seasons Greetings. Thank you.
