Due Post…
Posted on May 27, 2007
Hey all, I just thought I would post an open-air response to the comments that I’ve received through the site this last while. First, thanks everyone for stopping by and checking out the site. How about a little direct feedback? What do you think of the direction of the posts? I’ve been posting sort of free-style, with little attention to grammar, structure, or topic, and just enjoying the writing and sharing. You know; making sure it doesn’t feel like work. I have been receiving some criticism for not posting enough pictures of my surroundings and skating stuff here. I’ll try to do more of that. For now, here’s just a few examples…
500m semi in Gross Gerau:
10,000m Elimination Swiss National championships (Weinfelden):
DJ Nation leads Scott Arlidge on break in Lichtenstein:
The hill leading into Kreuzlingen (it’s way twisty, and awesome on the bike):
Kalon Dobbin leads the chase in Lichtenstien:
Aaron’s Leg (yes, I’m a dork):
I should have my camera out regularly, because this is everywhere:
World Inlinecenter Auto (1 of 2):
Kalon’s pimpin’ ride:
This is meeeeeeeeeeeeeee:
I think this is a cool shot. Peter Michael after Lichtenstien:
Another view of the hill into Kreuzlingen:
Auto-timed self portrait (I told you I was a dork):
By the bay in… you guessed it.
Dork: yes, I was pretty excited about the suit.
The house I live in:
A typical round’about. This one happens to be around the corner from me:
Fogive me if I miss anyone;
Andrew Love: The colour you add in a comment is terrific. What are you doing this off season? Doing much inline? Maybe I’ll see you at A2A, 500m man.
Jacky Shu: Your last comments were far better than the first one-liner; “That post sucked” that I got from you originally. I hope you are feeling well, and your skating is coming along as it was this past indoor season.
Martin: The Giro coverage here is incredible. You would be in heaven. By the way, I live a few minutes from Jan Ulrich’s house.
Joey: I have to give it up to you. You post comments with by far the most consistency.
LB: Only one comment? I thought you were my biggest fan?? I really thought we had something… I’ll put you in contact with Joey.
Eric Wilson: You and I both know that isn’t the kind of ‘Giro’ I was reffering to. Funny though. You seldom arndt. …Get it? …Get it!??!?
D to the P: Yo Yo!! That name sticks bro-ham! Are you following the Colombian trials? Intense!
Kevin: Cool link. I like the culture of the company you mentioned, really cool. You’re right though… I am totally stuck on this pink bag. You would have to see it to understand. It’s awesome!
(J) Mom: I don’t know why, but the editor I use seems to constantly mess up the justification, spacing, sizing, and even periodically adds a random “J” about the site. If I don’t watch for them, they end up broadcasted over the net. It was just a coincidence. Really! I swear!
Nor Nor: I will leave a reply as vague and mysterious as your comment.
Boh: Hey! Let’s work out plans soon. It was cool to see you in Rennes, I’m sorry you didn’t get to race. It was hell anyways.
Eric Maas: Hahaha! I think the question is: do the boys remember the game? Boogies! Have you gone to the course in Cambridge yet? It’s alright.
Cheryl: Chocolate? That’s what stuck out? The chocolate!?! Are you following the Giro? It’s not too late…
Doucet: I get more traffic coming from your site than I can believe. So, I guess I really can’t complain about how much content you copy and paste onto speedskateworld.com. Wait, yes I can! [j/k] Keep up the hard work, and thanks for the positive comments on your site. Especially after trials.
Stephen: Are you still following the site? What do you think? How’s skating going in TO? Be sure to keep Jacky out of trouble. Actually, ask Ed Leung to do that. Hehe
Jessica Gill: That was an out-of-blue comment to receive! How was your trip to Toronto? Did you go? Still got that cool job?
Chelsea: Hey, Chelsea won the FA Cup! Congratulations, Chelsea! Way to go! Still confused?
Yesterday’s stage in the Giro… It was so good, I can’t even begin to explain it. Two packs with teams working together. What a show. Di Luca still in pink. Simoni robbed at the line! Garzelli chasing in the draft of a motorcycle in the last km to take the stage win! Bettini nearly takes his long awaited stage win! Liquigas an Lampre sacrificing three riders a piece to chase! Eban Mayo called back to pull the Simoni group up to double the attack’s size! Pellizotti called back from the break to help the peleton chase in the last climb… Petrov and Schleck crashing on a tough descent, and catching the chase group minutes later… This was perhaps the most dynamic stage of a major tour I have ever seen. It had everything. Stage 15 today…
Stay tuned…
