Geo, I guess the best way to say it is that our other 44 miles of concrete ditches are UNDER rated. Indian School is so perfect it's like a skatepark, but real backyard pools still have an appeal, and the Bear needs to be fed now and then.
Yes, Sector 9 presses LOTS of boards for lots of small companies, but the one that Biker had pressed was one of his 40" Dregs Race decks using the same mold, just more plys. The question I asked him was why the 40", when he could have done the 46" Dregs Alpine. That's the one I race and it seems to me that over 50 mph every inch of wheel base is going to help. Did you see that runway surface? Yikes! They gave him the leathers, helmet, boots and the BIKE so that he could continue practicing to get over 100 mph.
Of course what would really help with that last little bit would be a set of TimeShip Aero Paddles!

Biker Sherlock owns Dregs Skateboards, but their made by Sector 9. Its probably more cost efficient to have someone else press your boards than purchase the machinery to do it yourself. Sector 9 doesn't own Dregs, they just make them.

Rain at that elevation will hopefully be snow! I have a couple of under 3 year old students, it's a blast. I'd like you to see the school too if you can. We'll dial it in, we're right on 285 on your way to Taos / Angel Fire. My cell # is 505-920-5448.

GI Joe- You didn't say "Indian School is over rated" on another forum, did you?I'm assuming you mean the race, not the ditch! I saw that thing on Stunt Junkies last night with Biker Sherlock and wanted to ask... If he rides for Dreggs why did he go to Sector 9 to have a special 11 ply board made for his record attempt? Is Dreggs owned by Sector 9?

Yea Joe,
Ryder is coming with our posse. Maybe the girls can take him up to Santa Fe for a skate school session. We will talk about it. He's still only 2 and doesn't have much of an attention span, but we'll try. I just had my last workout. I've put in about 300 hours of rehab since August 15th, and I am ready to cruise the ditches for sure. I will probably not ride the park, or get too jiggy in the ditches, but its been a successful rehab. Today is sunny and 70 degrees and I am not used to the heat.
Our plan is to leave Albuquerque early Monday morning to hit up Angelfire that day. It looks like rain on Tuesday. How long of a drive from Alb. to Angelfire. Looks like about 3 hours max, eh?
Keep it safe Joe. Safe enough for everyone. We don't want to get hurt out there.
DT, sounds like your having a blast. Glad you could make the journey. One more appraisal to proof and send out the door. Tomorrow, I wait for my new board from Chicken. It'll show around 6:00 pm on Wednesday. Chicken always pulls off the last second

Is Ryder coming with you too? Which day are you headed up to Angel Fire? I still have lessons slots available at Skate School on Saturday and Sunday mornings til 1pm. We'd love to give him a lesson while you guys check out the place. I'll send him with skate homework too! Having your own Dad teach you can be an obstacle to progress, just ask Isa.
I'll be available to skate ditches on Thurs. and Fri. K-Lee and I will start without you 'cause you can never be too safe in Abq!

Damn Kenny I'm jelous. Wish I could have gone, I've always wanted to skate Indian school. But I'm leaving the 23rd of this month for San Diego so there's no way that would have been possible. How far of a drive is New Mexico from San Diego? If its not too far we should session it whenever you and the boys come out for a visit.

In Thursday at Noonish. At the Indian by 1:00 pm for some runs all that day. Ethan and James would love to skate your crib, but don't know if it'll happen. We want to hit all the ditches on the weekend with Kaylee and Brunson. DT just called and is driving from Cally for the weekend.
Looks like great weather until we head up to Angelfire, when it looks like rain.
Can't wait to check it out. Can we skate your pool on Friday or Saturday? If I skate it, I'll probably start pissing blood.

James, The dream will happen!!! How many years have we been saying, "We gotta go to the Indian School some spring break"?. The weather looks perfect. We are all so pumped. I skated four days there last year, two at Kona, and a couple miles on the Exkate last year. About 7 days total. Crossing my finger about the knee. It'll perform. I have done some type of rehab every day since August 15th, just thinking about this weekend. Its kept me going.
Bara, Fadell, Ethan, Mitchell, Geo, Ryder, Robin, Jesse, Marcee, Jen, Kaylee, Brunson, G.I. Joe. It official. Its on.

Ethan, Jesse and I went to Blake's memorial yesterday. He was a funny guy, to say the least. He was nake a million times more than I ever thought of. He had a big heart, and it was fragile. I can relate. We will miss you Blake.
On a lighter note, only 10 days until "Ditchapolooza". Time for Bara and I to try out our new knee and shoulder. I can't wait. Ethan and Jesse are stoked also.
Ryder and Ethan checking out the new Sector 9 video on Saturday morning.
