I was depressed after my last race. There was not much I could get going around town there. I needed to get over to Europe for a race, oh, the next one is next weekend. Oh, I should leave Wednesday. Wednesdays are my travel days. Oh, Czech Repulic...

The skateboards got new grip tape and bearings cleaned. I moved into a plastic golf gase for the flights. It worked out pretty good as it stands straight up and doesnt fall over. Skateboard tourism is gear all over the place at airports. You have ...

Policka, CZ - Part 2

Its my blog, I dont expect anyone to read this. This is what it is like in womens skateboard racing.

This is my year of following the Rules. Rules can be made up on the spot. Rules are your own, or others. Whatever they say. Staying under the radar is my thing. Obviously its working.

You need four for a contest. I have been fourth before, its a good spot, but there is no prizes for 4th. Noone even noticed you were in the contest. I am starting to see how some of the Pros feel about not getting… Continue

Policka, Czech Republic = European Slalom Championships

Policka is a great skate town with lots of history. They are putting on a great race. Today is the dual parallel slalom contests.Yesterday the contest around the square was kind of fun. The more serious hybrid race went well past 8 pm. The worst part was sitting around all day waiting for the pro division to be over. It was Mika Hadestrand, Janis and Domink in the top 3 positions in Pro Hybrid. The best part of this race has to be this skateparty last nite. There was a band and every one got cra… Continue

Policka, CZ

I was depressed after my last race. There was not much I could get going around town there. I needed to get over to Europe for a race, oh, the next one is next weekend. Oh, I should leave Wednesday. Wednesdays are my travel days. Oh, Czech Repulic is right by Vienna, where I want to go to that museum. I need to go there. It will help alot to not have a jones for this book, A House of Art, Reubens as Collector. They did not return my emails, so I have to go there instead.

As it turns out, I can… Continue

Seismic Worlds of Skateboard Slalom

I fly out Wednesday July 15, destination PDX. Portland, Oregon has lots of great skateboard parks. In my free time I check out the parks in the destinations I am headed for in www.concretedisciples.com. After I get to Portland I am heading directly to an art show called "Organized Chaos" at a place called Hecklewood at 114 NW 3rd Ave. It has art by Bryce Kanights and Chet Childress. I have been long time fans of their work and skateboarding. After that I think it is a good idea to check out Rip… Continue

Worlds of Slalom Skateboarding 2009

This year going to Hood River is easy. There are no problems booking rooms, I know the route and know what to bring. I am geared up and training daily. It is less than 50 days until I depart for the West Coast. I love Oregon. Why was I born Canadian instead of in Portland. I love it there. I would love to spend more time, go to Mt. Hood. Why not try all the mountains.
The flight from Vancouver is beautiful. On one side you see the Pacific Ocean, on the other there are 5 mountains, volcanoes, etc… Continue
