So Cal Birthday Trifecta
On 3/22/2007 WAHL wrote in from United States  (24.136.nnn.nnn)

Kenny,

Thought you could appreciate this. For my 40 birthday I surfed , boarded, and skated all in the same day. Not too many places you can do this. I Hit Huntington Beach pier for a solid hour session. Then made the drive to Snow Summit, Big Bear for a 5 hour session in the snow (60 degrees). Drove back and hit a local park under lights. I went at it hard the whole time. Never held back. I planned on doing the skating last in case of injury, instead I paid my dues on the mountain. I will be making this an annual event. You, TK and anyone else who wants some of this are invited next year. The images are low quality, but at least I got it documented. Hopefully I didn't blow it posting this.

The orange Edit Post button works pretty well for that, visible to the original poster for 1-hour after each post is made.

Hey, if any of you Gong Show Couch-sitters are Northwest CSA'ers and coming to my event in Salem April 1st, it would be MOST appreciated if anyone would bring an additional BBQ and briquettes since I won't be able to cook for 48+ peaple with my dinky BBQ alone. Thanks - P

The Chief Model is almost ready for production !!!
On 3/14/2007 nature wrote in from United States  (69.223.nnn.nnn)

Here she is. 44 inches of perfection. Great kicktail, concave, and slight flex. This is the first one and Chicken said it sat for a couple days before he sprayed it. So its a little twisted but rides great. Thats why the trucks look so wacky.
This board is SICK and when the graphics are complete and in full color, its going to be something to see and ride.

Hopefully, these will be in production for the Ditch Slap and Indian outlaw. Its a badass ride and by this time tomorrow, she will have about 15 miles of Indian School under her belt. Can't wait.



Ethan shakin' off the winter cobwebs tonight.

Maybe not.
On 3/14/2007 The Gimp, I mean Chief... or Gimp wrote in from United States  (69.223.nnn.nnn)

Ryder and I just did a photo shoot on the electric skateboard for the Columbus Dispatch. I was putting together the new Chief that Chicken sent and the door rang. It was the photographer and he goes "I saw the garage open and thought you'd be home". Slow news day, eh?

Anyhow, I was trying to throw in some style, dropping my back knee Greg Weaver style. When I got off I almost cried from the pain. The whole knee locked up and was shaking like a leaf. It hurts like hell.

I bet I can still get top 15 at this years Indian School Outlaw race. What a difference a couple hours makes. It almost hurts as bad as it did last year.
F it. I am going for it.

Its a beautiful thing
On 3/14/2007 Luke wrote in from United States  (71.72.nnn.nnn)

Kenny, sounds like you should move out to Albuquerque. You can pretty much do your job anywhere can't ya? I would have loved to make it out there this spring but with me moving out to San Diego in 9 days makes it impossible. How far is Albuquerque from San Diego? If its not too far maybe we can drive out there for the weekend when you and the boys come for a visit.

Can you tell I haven't skated since last year and am TOTALLY PSYCHED FOR THE TRIP !!!!!
On 3/14/2007 Chief wrote in from United States  (69.223.nnn.nnn)















Yea, I am pretty pumped. Worked my ass off the past 8 months, at my work, at home and on the rehab train. Now the payoff. One pain-free run down the Indian will make it worth it. 50 pain free runs this weekend will make it totally worth it. I love talking/writing to myself.

PPS rules the Indian, if we are talking about teams.
On 3/14/2007 Chief wrote in from United States  (69.223.nnn.nnn)

1st, 3rd, & 4th in the Indian School Outlaw last year. 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the Indian School Qualify race the day before.

PPS has the World's Best all around team if you count Pool, Pipe, Park, Slalom, Banked Slalom, Downhill and freestyle. Mitchell is probably the best all around skater on the Planet. Fadell kills the GS, Bank and Vert. Chicken does it all better than most. I can hold my own.

Could I beat Jason Mitchell in a GS slalom race now - probably not.
Could I EVER do a backside air within 5 feet of Fadell's lowest - Never!
Could I beat Jimmy Z. or GI Joe in a downhill - not if my life depended on it!
Could I come near Barker or Maysey in a TS race - not even in the same league!
Could I do the loop of Death - wouldn't ever try it, not with a foam pit!
Could I do a frontside rock n' roll in the shallow end of a pool - in my dreams!
Could I repeat the Indian School this year - HELL YES!

Its on. I have predicted a few wins online. Athens, GA 2005; La Costa 2004; and Sweden 2005. Sometimes you just know. Hopefully, this year will be a banked slalom race similar to 2004 & 2006. I heard 2005 was a little cheesey with cones on the flat bottom, and some other dumb stuff.

Bring what you got. So will I. I have the best sponsors on the Planet, including Pocket Pistols, Ninja, ABEC 11/Pink/Retro, Radikal, and Revenge Trucks. My stuff is dialed, or will be soon. I am still waiting for the new PPS "Chief" model to show up tonight. It will. It always does. Chicken must put on the mailing slip "don't delivery until a few hours before leaves". I have been working on the Chief with Chicken this spring, and although its probably not my signature model, it should be. He said the graphics are the sickest.

I love the Indian School ditch more than snowboarding, slalom, park skating, downhill or anything else. I would choose it over a private concert with Jerry Garcia if he came back from the dead. Its just my favorite thing right now.

I will give it my all. In 2004 I was scared s#@!tless and now I am not.

BLR used to own the Indian School Race.
On 3/14/2007 Chief Chatchy wrote in from United States  (69.223.nnn.nnn)

4 seconds is like 120 feet at 25 mph. We know it was faster than that. If the course is ANYTHING like last year, I will own it. There, I said it.

INDIAN SCHOOL IS OVER RATED IF YOU'RE ONLY GOING 20 MPH.

OPEN IT UP. PEDAL TO THE METAL. AND BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID.

BLR OWNS INDIAN SCHOOL. PALMER IS THE MAN THAT CAN'T BE BEATEN
WITH A PROPER TIMING SYSTEM. (YOU KNOW, ONE THAT WORKS ON YOUR FIRST RUN.)

HUGE PROPS TO CHACHY FOR TAKING EVERYONE DOWN LAST YEAR - HE IS BAD-ASS.

FADELL WILL BLOW MINDS AGAIN.
