Y nephew Carrie's the torch these days with a 383 inch pro/charged vega I'm going to watch it run this weekend so I'll be back with some pics also gearing up to fish the delta with a new rod a friend built for me its built on a 7ft2in lamiglas black salt blank I'm gonna spool it with #12 fluorocarbon line this is a spinning rod with Fuji guides & carbon fiber handles this will be my first run on this rod I'll have bass , striper & salmon in the same water with a variety of structure from rocks to old docks old bridges & downed trees & a heavy tidal influence ceI miss racing
Itching a nice smallie is a treat for sure a good combination of speed & power & they're good to come out of the water on you too
That’s awesome! Back when I skated rollerbladers weren’t allowed at the skateparks, so cool to see things are more friendly these days and less exclusionary.
oh wild, yeah its totally a different atmosphere than when I was young(er). The biggest problems I ever see at the park is kids just putting their phones in bad places to film them doing things they didnt even need to go to the skatepark to do. Everybody's nice to each other these days there.
That reminds me of an old roommate that grew up in a mountain town and got into snowboarding before snowboards were allowed on the ski hills. He had all sorts of crazy/ridiculous stories about him and his buds sneaking onto the slopes near Banff. Did you sneak into the skate parks or did you just find other places?
Hah years back (I snowboard as well) i cant remember the company, but one snowboard company was doing this promotion where they would send you some free this n that if you sent them/posted a photo of you snowboarding at Alta (ski only). A decent amount of people were able to do it.
It's been over 30 years, so I don't remember too many details, but a lot of the stories involved being chased by security or skicops or whoever chased snowboarders off the hills. The only other thing that comes to mind was their obsession with calf muscles for boarding. My roommate did crazy exercises and he told of a friend that used to inject steroids directly into his calves. He said the guys lower legs were twice the size of his thighs.
No argument there.
I came into contact with a lot of abnormal things at that time in my life. Late teens, living hours away from family, partying my face off and hanging with all manner of scum and villainy. ; )
Unfortunately I was one of the skateboarders not allowing rollerbladers in or around. The S.P.O.T. and Bro Bowl were the only spots when I was really young and then city’s started building little parks and whatnot. Neither of those places allowed rollerbladers. Sucks we had to be such pricks. Just like not allowing boogie boarders near the lineup. Dickhead stuff.
