Bay Area, Ca. ONLY
« on: June 28, 2008, 01:18:47 AM »
Sad... very sad, guys.  :huh:

The Bay Area used to be the shizzle for flatland, and now we are about as rare as big ol' pillowy panda bears. I say we all pick a day (or a couple of days) out of the month to gather and ride. I've only being re-riding for about a week now and I'm already bored of riding by myself.

Plenty of street folks to ride with... but no flat peeps.

Show Yay Area love right here.

I'm in San Jose... but I drive all over the Bay anyway, so BlueWood City isn't that far for me. I'm thinking it be cool to do a session at least a couple times a month at a nice spot.

Talk about having shiot to do! I'm a Estate Planning Professional who runs my own office and my territory covers from San Jose to Hayward... I have 2-6 client meetings/appointments per day (including a couple of weekends a month) and my wedding's in October. I have a side business with an e-commerce site. On top of that, I'm an avid motorcycle rider (dirt and SuperMoto) - AND I STILL FIND TIME TO RIDE! Anyhoo...

I wouldn't mind hooking up with Mutt up at the BBT, but weekdays are pretty rough for me. I say we try to organize some sort of schedule, like "every 2nd 4th Sunday of the month" or something.

Clock tower used to be the place to be now it sucks.  I used to ride there every other weekend now I wont waste the gas.  I live in Sac and we have about 20 flatlanders that ride in different areas.  Wayne Seigmund, Ying Thao, Shawn White( when he is in town) and myself ride downtown at least twice a week.  There are other places other guys ride but mainly in Elk Grove and Roseville because everybody is affraid of downtown.  I think sac might be the new place to be pretty soon.

Mutt was talking about something in OCTOBER. Way too far in advance. I say we hook up on Sunday the 13th. Boyyyeeeee.

BTW, I used to hook up with Mutt back in '90, pre-internet days. All word of mouth and Xerox'ed "zines". Hardcore, ninjas.

Damn, Mutt. Good luck with all that!

Alright... I propose to meet up here: http://www.global-flat.com/spots/291 around 11:00am, this Sunday July 6th. It's a good place with plenty of room and it's shaded by a car port. It's fairly level, and I'm pretty sensitive to any elevation changes. I'll have my Ford F150 parked there.

Let me know if anybody is going to show up, because if nobody's going, I'm taking my Subrosa to the SJ Skatepark on the East Side with hopes of not getting shot or offered crack.

Flatride?

BTW, my riding skills are about beginner-intermediate level (hangfives, fw steams, funky chickens, whiplashes, elbow glides, ect.). I'm having to re-learn everything!
