Sebastopol Baby

Finally! A North Bay SLAG Skate Date with some North Bay steeze. Jessica charging the tranny.
Julia getting crazy. Why are Canadians so rad?

Elraya zips through the pocket. Mad flow.

Yeah E Lilly! Nice to skate with you again sucka!
Oooops, sorry.
Officer poop face writes $75 tickets for these two for no helmets! What a bummer. The cop said they were the first people he saw so he wrote them up... I think Julia was the one to reply, "yeah, two hot chicks, of course they were the first people you saw!" He didn't write up any of the guys... Then Erica L asks him "what happens if we don't pay it?" and he says, "A warrent will go out for your arrest." "Oh, I'll give you my real address then." Then he says "I should arrest you right now." "But you won't because you're really really nice?" He just re-wrote the ticket.
He was determined....
Skating was fun so whatever.

HOT mag- an online version?

I do have the sofeware but I have never used it. I have an appointment at Apple tomorrow for them to install it on my computer but I don't think they explain how to use it. I can give you the disk to intall if you want. Also I went to 510 skate show today to show them the mag, ask if they want to advertise, and leave a donation box, but the own, who was really suportive of us, thought the mag as a hard copy was a really bad idea because everything has gone didgital. Even Slap mag is now only online. He said it would be easier, cheaper, and reach more people if we put out and online mag, and then more people would be willing to buy ads online. He gave me some sites to check out. 

Let me know what we should do, I want to help with it.

P.S.  the owners wife also skates and they have a two year old daughter so I invited them to the Moms skate thing and they put out flyers in there store. I'll post the links he gave me when I find the paper.

SKATEDATE MCINNIS SKATE PARK

4 HOURS OF SKATING FUN

Wow, we got a picture of Staycee. Sweet huh?

Just part of the routine.

If only you could see what trick I'm doing.

Nice shades.

Where are all the North Bay skater ladies? We learned that Marin county isn't the hot spot for female skaters... and it wasn't the usual turnout for a SLAG skate date, but lots of good things went down. Beth and the blunt, Erica's disaster practice, and some 50-50 action from Stace, just to name a few.

Video includes some daring doubles footage with Beth and her fellow Canadian skater.

Wallenberg


Eveliene; charger!!!







Watch at your own risk of getting motion sickness... this I filmed about 20feet up in a tree, with my arm extended out to the side, and it was windy. Plus the footage is from a crappy digital camera, partially zoomed in... and after uploading the quality is even worse. If you are able to see what is going on (which you probably can't), the girls chucking their bodies down the four block are Marisa Del Santosin the blue, Evelien Bouilliart in the pink pants, and girl whose name I'm pretty sure is Racine Hopkins in the red. All of them charging, getting back up despite the swellbows and heal bruises, and going again and again for the $1000 prize. So close.
