Ocoee March 19th   Message List

Re: Ocoee March 19th


Hey Washnock,

Hydroskin is a little different than fuzzy rubber. It's pretty much the same
thing
but with a layer of thin neoprene (0.5 mm) and its real stretchy. It has a
fleece
inner layer, like fuzzy rubber. I guess the only difference is its a little
thicker, it
doesn't have the rubber outer layer, and its got that neoprene in it. I like em.
Wish I owned one.. ha ha.. I'm stuck with the fuzzy rubber for now.

I'm so jealous that I don't get to join all of ya on the Ocoee! I'll be in Utah
gettin
some snowboarding in while I can.... and I'm having thumb surgery here next
week so I couldn't go anyways cuz I will have just gotten my cast on. Bummer.

Anytime you wanna go boarding (after I get my cast off... or maybe even
towards the end of the cast period, depending on how that goes...) you should
come to WV and hang. That invitation goes to everyone. The New is high right
now and if anyone wants to go, I'm always down (probably even with the cast..
ha ha)!

Later,
Liz

It's a tight fit under the helmet, but it's doable. Definitely a lot easier when I'm sporting a crew cut, than when I have a little hair on top. That hood is...
