Marcelo, Good to meet you today and thanks for being skate driver, very much appreciated.  I am thrilled that you showed up with the makings of a fine downhill boot and took our advise. The next step is get your boots together, pads and helmet and start coming out for one of the downhill skates during the week and or Friday in SF as well. You will need some time building your downhill skills  before you jump on highway 9. Thanks!

But as you say, I gotta take one step at the time. Following the advice of some really nice people on this group I have been buying some stuff on ebay trying to put together a downhill skate to get started, and I'd like to show it to you guys and see what you think. I'll be more than happy to help with the rides, I'll be there tomorrow. I checked for Starbucks in Saratoga, and I think that the one you are probably talking about is the one on 14410 Big Basin Way, right?

You ought to come out and hang with us while we take a few side roots and everyone can see how you skate. The regular downhill skates are a little more intense for a starter than is probably advisable. But we are always looking for people excited about downhill and would be glad to except your generous offer to help with the driving. You are welcome to join us Sunday. We meet in Saratoga, usually at start buck around 0900am.

The Wednesday or Monday night skates offer better opportunities to practice and learn from others. We meet every Monday 8:30pm Palace Fine Arts or Wednesday 8:00pm 3rd level Parking Garage 2nd & El Camino San Mateo. We can always use shuttle drivers for Sunday Skates. > Donald- > Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry > > -----Original Message----- > From: Marcelo Ramos <maramosc@.. .> > > Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 10:21:31 > To: <mnsk8rs@... >; <dsk8@yahoogroups. com>; <DSK8@yahoogroups. com> > Subject: Re: [DSK8] The weather is going to be great for Highway 9 > > > Hi: > I am new to this and I been wanting to try it but I'm not sure if am ready for highway 9. > So I'd like to go to check it out and I can help with the car rides back up hill. > Marcelo > > > > --- On Fri, 1/30/09, theeos@... <theeos@...> wrote: > > From: theeos@... <theeos@...> > Subject: [DSK8] The weather is going to be great for Highway 9 > To: mnsk8rs@..., dsk8@yahoogroups. com > Date: Friday, January 30, 2009, 12:00 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > Hey downhill junkies, > > Looks like the stars aligned and I will be able to skate downhill this weekend, should we do Hwy9? > >  I am thinking Sunday 9 am, anyone else up for that? > > > Dave >
