You better buy some leathers. LOOks and sounds faaast. I have more and more interested in the Evo or Switch. Th quiver may get up to 3. . All my fiends say the venom bushings are the way to go. I need to get a set. Going to run some spacers in my wheels see if I notice any difference.
CANT wait for the mail man!

Yea, 40. Time to get yourself some leathers. The race was to be held on Mosquito Ridge rd in the Tahoe Nat Forest. 100+ skaters showed up in BFE along with a CHP airplane that attempted to get up to disperse with a bullhorn. So we all left after the 2 placer county sheriffs showed up and one CHP and hit another rd. about an hour away. I will tell yea if you give me a call or I can send you an emai, if your interestedl. But only about 60 of us showed up at the other spot. Had a great time. I will be editing some video soon.
Last weekend hit up Bishop and did Swall Meadow Rd (near bishop). Did 3 laps, 2 at night under full moon and one in the morning. Hit 40 a few time on the rd and never had to colemen slide. I did drift 1-2 corners. But consistant 30-35mph. I had my leathers so I was not too worried( only one gardrail to worry about). I was super stoked to finally do it without speed checking. I ran my evo with yellow orangethang durians....talk about drifting. I wanted to run the speed vent but will have to wait till next time and till all the cynder gets swept off. DAMN that road is good....as good and as long (4+ miles) as the race rd. ON one run I started way up in swall subdivision and went out to the swall meadow rd and down past Paradise to the Inyo/Mono county line. Frecken RAD! Then the snow came....ohhh well.
Rabbits that a riot.....I had a big buck FCK with me in Swall.

I dont use the wind sails but due wind break, by standing up out of my tuck and max. my surface area.
Bombed Lower Rock Creek road last week out of Bishop.....Damn that thing is good, no colemen slides. Just a little drifty in some of the corners. Think I will go with some bigger wheels next time.

Big like these wheels?
Perfect.

dang i just rode willow tree from the very top of hidden trails without sliding, not even a check slide. its taken me two years to sack up and do it. 7 mph slower than when i tuck it from 3/4 of the way up. very stoked, this was a break through ride for me. knees were knockin on the walk back up so i called it. very very good night for me.

This was just in the NY Times:
**Bringing Skateboarders Doing 60 to a Halt
By IAN LOVETT
LAGUNA BEACH, Calif.** — Chance Gaul cannot drive a car yet. He is only 14. But he is already the fastest thing on wheels around here.
While Porsches and Mercedes-Benzes precariously descend the windy canyon roads here at 25 miles per hour, Chance bombs down at 40, sometimes even 60 m.p.h. on his skateboard, savoring the sea breeze on his face. But this may be his last ride here.
