You see, nobody rollerskates round here but I don't mind. One friend of mine call me "La resistencia", but I always tell him that I do it just because I enjoy doing it. Skating as long as I have fun doing it. • I experience the same here in NY. Two vert ramps are down and the closest is 1.5 hours drive away, but it is a great ramp. At 44, it is still fun and is why I will skate until I can't anymore. : In Lyon I landed again fakie 720s. I didn't land one since four years or so. The best thing is when you slam several times trying one trick and at last you pull it off. It is such a good feeling! • Rad! I'm happy these days to land fakie 360s. : It's not only a sport, it's about mind and body control and about progression. To learn is always challenging. And this undergroung-global scene is really cool. We are not notorius but we keep on rolling. That is just because we like it. • Yes, very true. It's amazing the variety of really wonderful skaters we meet in our travels. These people love what they do and passionately pursue skating. : This things happen when you want to rollerskate and you don't have a ramp to do it. Bla, bla, bla... • You get hungry when you don't have access to skate alot. You want to make every trick you can, since it may be awhile when you can try again. : P.S.: I still have to aswer one question you made me some weeks ago. • What question is that?

	Hi Nelo, : One question: do you know the size of the vert ramp that Vertical is going to set up? Is it a Vertical's King size vert ramp (3,8 meters high)? The ramp is there permanently and we are organizing this contest every year sinde 1999. It's a pure scene event but lots of fun. And I really hope that there will be lots of roller skaters there this year! : I write down the contest on my agenda, but I hope (I'd wish)that in August I will be reassembling my vert ramp in my hometown (if the City council wants to). I hope you will be done with assembling till the contest! : If I don't, maybe I will go to California. If it is too expensive for me, an european vert rollerskating tour (France, Italy, Germany and Holland), should be fine. In this case, I will see you there. Or maybe we will meet in Freiburg and in WWW.

	: Or maybe we will meet in Freiburg and in WWW. That will be perfect! Two vert rollerskating meetings in three months but I can not take days off at my job on October. Once again I'm going to miss the US meeting. If I'm free from duties in august, and I'm in Spain, I will probably drive to Freiburg. I'm going to write a little. I've been skating in Lyon the first weekend of May. It is a 13 hours drive to get there from Madrid but three days of vert rollerskating worth it (even when travelling alone). I'm trying to train once a month so I guess I will be in Lyon again in the second week of June or so. That ramp is terrific and it doesn't matter if it is rainy or windy. As a matter of fact, the guys running the skatepark are beautiful people and the city is OK. There are tons of beatiful girls :-) I'm dying for reassembling the vert ramp. The waiting is the worst. You see, nobody rollerskates round here but I don't mind. One friend of mine call me "La resistencia", but I always tell him that I do it just because I enjoy doing it.

Of course, it's a pleasure to do a grind at 200 km/h and high method-airs! This things happen when you want to rollerskate and you don't have a ramp to do it. Bla, bla, bla... P.S.: I still have to aswer one question you made me some weeks ago.

The answer to the question is that there is a vert rollerskating video previous to the Air Attack. I guess some people that read this must know. Its name is something like "The Eight Wheels Show One" or so. It's similar to Air Attack. I will try to get more info. Back in the day, in the ninetys, some guys round here kept this material like it was a secret. They didn't want to reveal the style and the tricks that people like Alex Colin, Rene, Bryan W., or J. Tubb were doing outside. You see, we were children but people were very very competitive. Now they don't skate, I hope I will be able to get a copy. Maybe.
