And I spotted a familiar-looking flat-green with yellow tape and tires at Baywalk yesterday. Anyone know who that is?

If it had yellow Deep-V's then they raced Fixed Fight. I talked to him but forget his name. Nice ride, with a rattle-can paintjob actually, if we're talking about the same guy ...

The one on MLK in St. Pete? I've wondered the same thing. They must work there. And I spotted a familiar-looking flat-green with yellow tape and tires at Baywalk yesterday. Anyone know who that is?


well, I had to get both my cars' oil changed today at middleton's, and he locked his bike up, and got into a car with a girl; nissan altima, maybe? this was about 9:15 am, and at 1:30, his bike was still there. I only saw the bike, the rest of this episode was brought to you by my girl.

but yes, the one on MLK, by the Bike room.

I'd like to come, but won't be able to make it. Wednesday and Thursday nights I'm already commited to stuff.

Also, since I've been found out ;) I am leaving Florida in August. It's something I've been looking forward to for like forever. Nothing personal, you guys are great. I just really want to live in a big city somewhere else.

And my pants are pretty reasonable, Corey! :D

Dude move to Philly with me. Seriously.

Haha. I gotz ze copz after me. Gotta run.

No... I just really like to move a lot. I start feeling odd if i stay somewhere for too long, with the exception of Chicago. I could stay there forever.

ok, so next weds we are going back to tampa. we discovered that the bro bowl is the tightest thing to ride and downtown tampa is also fun to ride. robb needs to come and take pics at the bro bowl and everyone should meet up to ride and have drinks at the hub afterwards. c'mon!!!

Zen Existence

Sounds good to me. Bummed to hear that the Bro Bowl is getting torn down, pretty much the first I heard of it was last night. Lame.

I don't know how many times I've gone there, only to be swarmed by little kids trying to steal my bike. Great place to buy crack after dark, though.

there was nobody out there at all lastnight. i think they have already started moving all the people out of the housing projects for the condos. so you're down, right?

DoshKel
04-26-07, 11:32 AM
Holy **** I have to skate that thing before it goes down. Is it skateable at night? I say we bring our boards next wed.

Robb and I were talking about riding in Tampa instead of St. Pete on Friday as well. I would be down.

In my defense, I bought mine in La Jolla in 98. All my friends surfed at the time, and that was the closest I could get. In my 8 years of college, I have never ONCE ridden it on campus.

WHY DID WE NOT GO HERE?!?!?!?

TheRobbStory
04-26-07, 07:39 PM
Because there was a veritable ocean between you and the park. Granted, there are THREE bridges across it. It's kinda like a Brooklyn/Manhattan, East Coast/West Coast, Pinelleas County/Chillsborough County thang. You know how it is.
