I had a blast in the land of peaches, and just got back home on Monday evening. Rick did a superb job on the Georgia State 2003 Slalom Championship. Actually, it was more than just “superb”. It was nothing less than OUTSTANDING. I give special thanks to both <a target=_blank href="http://www.redbull.com">Red Bull</a> and <b>The Mean Bean</b>. <a target=_blank href="http://www.redbull.com">Red Bull</a> is of course the energy drink of choice - Always drink a <a target=_blank href="http://www.redbull.com">Red Bull</a> in preparation for an intense session. The <b>Mean Bean</b>, of Athens Georgia, offers delicious Mexican food and is just the thing for after-skating replentishment, as well as anytime one wants give their taste buds and appetite a party. Thanks also to 3DM, Radikal, Comet, Webb, Indy, and Marcos Soulsby Monroy (Lord of the Ring DVDs). <sub>(Let me know if I made any mistakes here)</sub>. Also, thanks to Low J’s Boardshop. If you want skateboarding equipment and don’t like having to navigate through racks and racks of BS, check out Low J’s - 1029 Baxter St, Athens Georgia 706-353-3883
The Byrd team was on fire - Good skateboarding, Josh and Ricky. Not surprisingly, in this early stage of slalom’s resurgence, the veteran team known as Radikal ruled the course - But Washington DC Slalomer Brian Parsons almost kicked asphalt in the face of one of them. Tom Thompson is a nice guy if he happens to be going slow enough to talk to (he’s too fast on the board). Patio, Keep those biker glasses shiney. Clifton, I need to clip my nails - got a hacksaw I can borrow? Jonathan Harms, Sean Dawkins, Eric Moore, Eddy, Katii, Lisa - Always good to see each of you. Jonny-D - As usual, great job on the mic - great job on the board. PaDan - bad luck hits one of us in the form of poor starts, but you are the ultimate winner, being a newlywed and all. I hope to see you all, and everyone else at the WV Championship. Don’t know if I’ll be at the CA Championship or not.
