HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Also: Old Guys Invade Closed Skatepark Film at......
Hi GPX. I have not seen you on here before and maybe I just missed you. It is great to see a new person on this forum. If you are new and I did not miss you, then please tell us about yourself. Where are you from? At first, I thought you were Ben, but Ben is on here as Ben. lol And Ben is oldschool. We are just kids at the ages of 40 and over. lol I recently changed my mind and don't want our sport to get popular. There are just too many oldschool folks on here and I love to see all of your skating. It was so cool to meet Irene and I hope to meet other skaters outside of the U.S. I am not leaving out the folks that I skated with because they are amazing. Jay, I am loving your new videos and maybe soon I can put something together. We need to see more from Joe and the Australians. The spanish dudes and the German dudes kill it as well. Man, I wish I could skate like you all. I am fragile and just carve. lol

 ..........now.
Hey Kids,
How's everybody doing? I hope well.
1st let me say Congrats to Biff on Lucky #7 in the Vert-Trading Card Series! Good on Ya!
2nd let me welcome my sk8boarder friend, Ken aka GPX(for Grandpa eXtreme) to the Vert Forum. I know we don't have any regular 4-wheeler contributors, but I'm hoping Ken will change that for us. :)
So, there's a park called "Freedom Park" across from a Fire Station AND a Police Station. But that didn't stop GPX & me. We wanted to sk8 that killer new pool they have there. GPX had already hit it up once before & knew the secret password (read hole in fence!) so we were off.
Ken posts alot on a local sk8board Forum here in town so I wanted to keep his video rollerskater-free. LOL! So, here's Ken from today, Wed. Nov 25, 2009.



And the 8-Wheel end of the session:



Anyway, it was an AWESOME session. My Thanks to Ken for the Heads-Up AND for Driving!
Ken, feel free to Re-Post either and/or both of these videos on Vegas Skating or wherever. And we rollerskaters are a friendly group here. Let us know what's the Word in the World of 2 Trucks & 4 Wheels over here once in awhile.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYBODY!!!!!!!
PEACE....................................Jay

P.S. Was music better this time, Biff????

 Nice job son, you continue to improve your editing and the entertainment quality gets better and better. One question though, if this was a Grandfathers session what the hell is it when I skate? Geriatric, or perhaps even Jurassic? Keep it coming we need Jay TV!!!

Just for a teaser, Jay comes to Tucson in 2 weeks and you should all prepare yourselves for a fantastic episode of Jay TV featuring father and son / grandfather and father / great grandfather and grandfather skating.

  Hey Robert,
GPX (aka Ken), is a buddy of mine here in Vegas. If you had READ my original posting's text, I explained (& welcomed) GPX to the Forum. Though I do appreciate you having done so as well. GPX is good people. He, myself & another 4-wheeler who goes by "shoepad" (due to tongues of old shoes he put on outside of new shoes when he sk8s to protect them Kinda like my lace protectors & gorilla tape.LOL), are going to the still-closed Freedom Park this Thursday morning. Guerilla Grandpa Sesh 2!
Anyway, just in case GPX didn't get back to you, I wanted you to know. ALso you can hit him up on FB from my friends :Ken Coombs.
PEACE
Jay
