Dave Ellis, that’s who. Dave hasn’t put on a pair of skates since last november and within five minutes he was up in the rafters.

More DJs* shenanigans tonight- After an hour of just three rollerbladers on the vert, a skateboarder wheeled out a bucket and started prepping to wash down the vert ramp. I don’t think I’ve been to this park in the last two months without some kind of confrontation. What’s supposed to happen? Even with Nate working at the park, I feel we’re just being paid lipservice while the owners laugh about rollerblading into their sleeves. With plans for a ‘street’ comp in the works, are we supposed to throw our support behind a park whose owners refuse to listen to reason in any way? Such a shame, that vert ramp is breathtaking.

…In other news- has anyone else with Kizer Slimlines had a problem with the metal rocker washers? Mine (Kevin’s) have buckled after only two street skates and pushed the washer against the bearing shield. Anybody found a fix, other than hammering it flat again? I think the metal will be too weak. I really like the frames, but I can’t deal with destroying the rocker washers twice a week.

Well, that’s it for today. Tomorrow brings a Finnish box edit!
