Yeah, they'll be better too! I'm getting pretty decent on sidestance, least on the flat. The heels are closer together now, like you said. I'm pumping pretty good. Just gotta wait to see some solid xrays.

  & I've missed you all terribly.
Hi Kids.
I, too, was stricken with a flu that did nasty things to my digestive system.
It was unpleasant.
But it's a new year & FINALLY, I'm feeling like my old self again. I hope Joe & Biff are feeling better as well as anyone else who has been under the weather. Get Well!
So, I just wanted to say hey to my peeps on the Forum. Hey.
Has anyone been skating lately? Any footage? I haven't skated since 12/05/09. :-( And on that day I took a pretty bad slam just about an hour into a 5+ hour session that was over 3 hours away in the cramped car we took. I tweaked a couple fingers on my right hand pretty bad (they're still jacked) & got a cut in my eyebrow that bled like CRAZY.

So, I sat in the car for 3 1/2 hours while the boarders I went with skated. It was lame. But I understand. I probably would've kept skating if one of them had needed stitches instead of me.
Anyway, that's about all I've got, Kids. I hope you all are fairing well in this new year.
Oh, I've heard from a cat named Charles Eric Schumacher who is a vert rollerskater in North Carolina (BW territory!) & he's stoked about RollerCon. I've also heard from Ufra & he's interested in coming out this year.
So, for those of you interested in planning a trip to Vegas for RC here's the Info.

This will be where the Derby Girls will be Headquartered this year. I, will be leading an expedition to 5 KILLER Sk8Parks here in town. For the 4th consecutive year, I'm happy to say. And, for the 2nd year in a row, I'll be renting the only indoor vert park in town for our exclusive 8-wheeled usage. I'd love to see as many quad people as possible come out this year.
Mr Brian Wainwright (BW) has told me he's coming. I just spoke with Brother Duke yesterday. He's coming, of course. He actually just skated yesterday for the 1st time since I skated with him in San Diego in November. He's been busy since purchasing a new home. His lovely wife Karen sent me this pic yesterday morning with the text "wish you were here" I wish I had been too. Duke said he skated for nearly 3 hours & had a great session. Check the Pacific in the BG.

Take it easy, Kids...
PEACE.................Jay

 Hi Jay,

glad to see you again here and not happy at all about all that blood. Take care!

I've added the RollerCon date to the Sk8Mag.de calendar.

 Hahaha, you look like you've been shot dude! I'm coming back soon, maybe 6 weeks or less. Waiting to get an xray. I guess everyone forgot about me but soon I'll be back. Dont bust up your arm! I've been out a long time.

 Jay,

1st of all, WHEN are you going to stop leading with your face!?!? Now your eyebrow matches your lip scar, eh? You should just do what the bad guy in that Dirty Harry film did; pay someone to beat you up, and get it out of the way. Then, when you skate, you wouldn't get hurt anymore! (not sure if this will work-let me know how it turns out)

Really though, I hope everything heals up O.K.. That really sucks about your fingers. Must have been a pretty good fall! It was probably about the same time that I also took a big fall and jammed my fore-finger on my left hand. It is still kinda jacked as well. Did you get them checked out at the hospital?

Btw, is that skate park, that Duke is skating, the one they were building on Venice beach recently? Last time I went to L.A., they were in the middle of building one there. It looks like a lot of fun!

Well, get better, keep skating, and hopefully we'll make it out to RC this year. I'd love to meet Brian W.. Tell your family hello for me! Also, say hi to the whole Cali gang next time you see them. Of course, they are probably reading this here as well.

Cheers!

 Welcome back to the world of the living son. My recent baseball line drive interuptus bloodletting pales in comparison to your ability to draw blood from the area between the neck and forehead. How weird is it that you go to the ER these days and you don't get stitches, you get GLUED. Now, let me start the chant from your minions......

"We Need JayTV...We need JayTV....We need JayTV."

Your presence was sorely missed.

My captcha for this post is " forward Deftness" and slowly but surely the forward deftness is comin' back to the oldest gang member of the venerable forum.

I'm right there with ya. Unfortunately. I have missed my skate nights for the last 4 weeks due to vacation, rain, wife and son were sick, and now I'm down for the count.
