[SkateDC] Where is the down hill bit?

Tue Sep 1 14:08:17 PDT 2009

I guess Eddy's camera plummeted off a cliff before he got a chance to upload the rest of the video? Or maybe he hasn't come down yet. If you work that hard to reach the top then you would want to savor it for a while. Sometimes when I shoot videos I accidently switch from "record" to "standby". Hope that is not what happened on the way down.

Bill

The downhill bit hasn't come out yet, at least I couldn't find it.

He's pretty good at downhills, I suspect he found his way off the mountain somehow.

He seems to enjoy skating on usual surfaces.

And, of course, the most unusual surface was found in Thailand (where else?):

There are many more of his videos on youtube.com, just search for "Eddy Matzger".

There's even a video on slowing/stopping techniques (Remember, "the surest way to stop is to fall!"):

Enjoy,

Where is the downhill bit?

How the heck would one break with those skates?

Best comment from someone who skates in DC:

"Now Eddy knows exactly how I feel whenever I skate up to the National?
Cathedral.
                    "

That's the main advantage of being in horrible condition, you can get
the same level of workout on every Wednesday Night Skate that Eddy had
to travel to the Peruvian Andes to get.? Doesn't seem fair does it?

Cheers,
George
