More on helmets
Speaking of helmets.....
Rung my bell, seeing stars, and a helmet cracked in 3 places. Glad I was wearing it!
Now for the other news...I'm getting a divorce! Moved out first of December and in an apartment in Aurora. Life is actually very good and looking forward to skating a lot more. Just got back from a biz trip to Tex-ass, my next stop is So. Cal for a surf trip.

Northglenn Skatepark
This just in:
Dear Skate Park Supporter,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in a skate park in Northglenn. As many of you know by now, we did receive funding from Adams County Open Space for the skate park! The park will be design in 2010, with construction planned for early 2011. This is very exciting news for everyone who worked so diligently for so long to make this project a reality in our community!
I am writing to again ask for your support. The skatepark budget, as was submitted to Adams County Open Space, does not include any lighting. TO further enhance the park, the City of Norhglenn is seeking additional funding from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) to add lighting to the park.
The lighting will be of the type that provides directional light to the park itself, while minimizing any impact to the surrounding area. It would be on a timer, and only usable during pre-determined hours. The lighting would be user-activated, so that energy is only used when the park is actually in use.
If you would like to see lighting at the skatepark, please send a letter of support to:
City of Northglenn
11701 Community Center Drive
Northglenn, CO 80233
Attn: Amanda Peterson
In your letter please include your name and address. Also, please note which of the following groups you identify with:
* Foundations or Civic Organization
* Community Member
* Local Business
* School
* State Agency
* User or User group
To meet the grant deadline, all comments or letters of support are requested by January 22, 2009. If you have any questions or comments about the proposed renovations, please contact Amanda Peterson at 303.450.8950 or at apeterson@northglenn.org.
PLEASE MAIL A LETTER OFF TO THE TOWN OF NORTHGLENN TODAY!!

New From Tracker Trucks
The Tracker SixTrack debuted in 1979 and was the Number 1 choice of Pro Skaters worldwide.
During the late 70's, Tracker co-founder Gary Dodds prototyped a nylon baseplate that was actually lighter than the Magnesium bases. Since aerial maneuvers were coming on to the scene lightness was the key. However, skaters that rode their trucks tight found that there was flex in the base.
Gary and Larry then redesigned the nylon baseplate in the mid 80's and the new stiffer Ultralite Base was born. As skating progressed, a few skaters still found some flex in the New Vydynyte material.
By the late 80's Tracker's R & D found the perfect Carbon Graphite Composite material. Stiff, Ultralite and Strong as Hell. Larry has dug into his historic collection and released a limited amount of these Duralite Carbon Graphite Bases.
There trucks are 75 grams lighter than the original Tracker SixTrack.
