biffsk8er: Fathers Day (22. Jun. 2009 08:06)
	I had a great Fathers day. How about the rest of you big galoots? I went to Houston this weekend to be at my old skate groups' 30th reunion. I was one of maybe 4 people who donned skates the entire time!! We did our group picture, as we always used to do, and there were canes, wheelchairs, knee braces, etc..everywhere! Here is an old photo (linked) from about 1984 (mislabeled as 1981) After we took the photo, I skated down those stairs backwards. First time I ever tried it and it worked great! Today, we went to the Houston Skate Park. It was so hot!!! However, I was extremely pleased to land a backflip off a little 2 foot kicker, and a barani out of the 12 foot bowl and onto the deck.

I know it's late,but I just got back from Awesome overnight trip to the Golden Nugget where we kicked it at their Killer Pool with a waterslide through a 200,000 Gallon Shark Tank. It rocked. Hope everyone else enjoyed their Father's Day as well. 2nd: I know I'll sound like a complete moron for asking, but I have to. What's a Barani? I'm guessing like a twisting flip of some kind?? 3rd: Only 5 weeks & Change til RollerCon SK8 Park Tour!!! I'm So Stoked. PEACE...Jay

Are you telling me that the water slide actually goes THROUGH a shark tank?!!?!? That is freakin' awesome! I would imagine the sharks thought you were chum. I wonder if the sharks have ever run into the slide trying to get at that fast moving "chum"? lol. I'm ready for Las Vegas. Rollercon madness is upon us! Cheers! Biff

It's pretty cool. I actually saw it last week on the Travel Channel's 'Most Extreme Pools in America' show. It was actually number 1. Even took my boy in. The pool, not the slide...or shark tank! Speaking of my boy AND being ready for RollerCon, check this out: Last year's official RC SK8 Park Tour Shirt in miniature. :) Best to The Fam. Can't wait to meet you in RL! PEACE! Jay
