Remedial Skating Party

The Stomparillaz have been cold cold rollin' out at the Rodeo Rink in Carbondale for a while now and the ice is choice!
We love gettin' the stomp on out there and figure THURSDAY night is good one for everyone to brush up on their skills. Skate around some cones, skate around the Meadow Blaster, and try and figure out what edge pressure, body position, hand stands, and general stompa fitness have to do with Skatin'.

So come one, come all, be prepared for some hot chocolate (bring a mug if you've got one), and some remedial skating cuz it sure is fun. (how do you skate again?)
$1 rink fee
$1 rental fee
$1 hockey fee-- (for future reference the stick selection is pretty minimal, bring them if you've got 'em)


There are rental skates and while the ability to return said rental skates rests with the Stmpz(10 p.m. ish), the ability to rent ends at 8 p.m.
Family time is by consensus earlier rather than later. Get the kids on skates early and they'll be stompn' 4life in no time. Later on the Stmpz will be working on the Pairs Skating portion of the program and MAYBE even after that there might be a little Ol' Stick and Puck...

Never Fear, the Stomparillaz will be putting on skating parties all winter long and we hope to see you soon..

STOMP YOUR BIKE WITH YOUR CAR

StomPARIllaz wil be hosting the first ever DRIVE YOUR CAR TO WORK DAY. Car pooling is discouraged. Hummers are greatly appreciated. Due to recent events I think that President Bush should really be supported in his time of need. Can you see the pain on his face. We can call it is a DRIVE TO OIL YOUR BUSH. It is very important that everybody does this on the same day...EVERYDAY.

ICEICEICE

Oh yeah NOBIGDEAl just in case you were wondering what a stompa might be up to at midnight.. well some stompaz might be out at the C'dale Rodeo RINK laying down ice like it werrn't no thang getting ready for a winter of STOMPA skating parties.. yup yup NBD see ya out there stmpz

FULLL OF moonz

Well gosh, that was just swell. The best winter full moon cruiz turnout EVR. thanks for thinking about stuff like cruizin when its cold and stuff. Thanks NELSON @ DGB for HOT Chocolate and Barb for toting said vessel.. See you SOON. stmpz

Respond, you know you want to

I WANT YOU. And I want you feedback. Make posts. Make haste.

Remedial Dance Class

Ok everybody the production needs to keep rollin. The Remedial dance class is coming up. Excitement needs to be harnessed and there is only one way to do it, a united stompa front. Pass the word around. Invitations are on the way. Dos Gringos can probably only hold so many floundering stompers.
Maybe you are a women and your man won't join you on the dance floor, maybe you are man and you need to find your groove to get that lady. Maybe you got stompa booty that just won't quit.
Lets see what this can do.
I am sorry is this english, you bet it is.

Heello, thanks alot you bunch a stompaz, the STompa Summit was delightful and I'm really glad you all came over.
The response thus far has been quite amazing and the momentum ain't gonna stop...

SO pretty exciting news. As you may or may not know I'm now working part time for Woodsie/town of Carbondale getting the skating rink at the rodeo grounds ready for a winter of STompn'. Regular skating parties are in the works but first, ice.

Anyway I was talking with Woodsie about the Stomparillaz, very receptive no duh, and he wants there to be more STOMPN' in conjunction with the town and the recreation department. So since the Stompaz are Ssooo good at thinking ahead... We need to pretty much map out, to the day the town stompevents for next summer...

yeah SO anyone who wants to come over to STompaz HQ, THE closest house behind city market... At 7 o'clock before the full MOON cruizer on TUESDAY NIGHT, then we can start to make funny marks on a calender and try and get that stuff figured out, (just for the record I have a fairly serious problem with planning ahead so this is gonna be really good for that but I NEED YOUR HELP real BAD)


What are the stompa events that are advantageous to do in conjunction with the town?

Competition type stuff where insurance is neccesary.. where making carbondale's collective cycling capacity apparent and available to the greater population is a good idea, and ones where drinking beers are not an integral part of the riding experience?

Babyz Mommaz Charriotz of fire Drag Race potential dates??? June? multiple races?

West Bank Time Trial (Woodsies' idea, sweet) multiple runnings, begin with individual, hill climb, team time trial, cruizerTT, segway open class, rollerblade? babyz mommaz obviously

this is of course where our predetermined venue

MTB? donde? perhaps this summers stompa mtb race time is devoted to building the venue??

MTB time trial

MTB short track? short track summer 'cross at crms??

DEAD Middle Man Wins > Race

CRITerium in town > where? is it feasible what streets do we close off Aspen's crit course is pretty rad but ours is probably gonna have an underwater portion similar but different to the AlleyCAT

Night Race? RVR circuit race could be pretty sweet at night twilight race would probably be good


Group teaching training rides>

road pack riding skillz - rolling pace line weekly group ride anybody got a good idea for a day? maybe monday cuz' it's low key low speed learning ride?

mtb skillz

dirt jump skillz



Stompaz Bike maintenance class aimed at various groups monthly?



SO then of course as Adam and I brainstormed the various bike rides to do with the town we also came up with a fraction of the other stompa events, listed below. BUT more pertinent are those that we would essentially want to get nailed down to a day and listed in the carbondale recreation calender, subsequentley sponsored by the town... SO who actually can see that far in the future??

COuld you think about what events you want to do next summer other than stompa events so we can plan around them?

Firecracker 50 july 4th, SSWC07 Scotland, Banana Belt in Salida date?, Leadville 100 date? mountain states? does anyone care? Sure why not.. Aspen Races, sure those are obviously the swerious races in the valley and then theres the STOMPAZ


Poker Ride Carbondale Points Day

Bike Toss Mountain fair??

Bike Polo @ CRMS

Tractor Pull

Carbondale 2 Independence day before opening Century group ride

Breakfast Riden'

c'dale2bonedale 200 miler

dotsero loop

gwood dance off

Arbaney Kittle

SO if you can come on over on TUESDAY at 7 before FMC and we'll pretend to map out or futurez 2gether

1st Annual Kneez R4 Turkeyz Turkey day Ride

FANtastic, yes indeeedey, as expected the Stomparillaz are on the move. Bound to be a classic, the Thanksgivin' KNeez r4 turkeyz ride>> 9 a.m. rollout perhaps a lil early, the stompaz are still perfecting the ol' timeliness bit.. anyway a delightful cruise up the bike path to emma, bidding goodbye to the roadiez at catherine store. Then some climbing. NO biggie CrazyEyzSTompa was for some reason pushing a 48x16 fixxee w/o any brakes or clips, so no skidding, anyway we haven't seen him since.. The other turkeyz rode with all sorts of gears and brakes and such.
Coming up over dinkle lake without any particular difficulty. The descent on the other hand, was mildly muddy and when Slappy and Roolf decided to hit the singletrack they did so despite seis inches of snow. Nonetheless downhill fixxee snow riding is excelently recomended to any and all stomparillaz... Just lean forward and pretend you're tele skiing whenever you need to skid a corner or anything... see you next turkeyday

Mourning Rides

Bright idea jeans; soo as an example, this morning a posse of tres hombres rolled out of 'bonedale at 7, (some by the artifice of the deraileur, others by the strength of their will) fourty minutes later they sat down to huevos rancheros in basalt, rolled out and were back in action at 9.ish sweet. As my pa likes to say, 'you always feel better after a bici ride', and this is doubly true for a morning pre-work ride. What will be even sweeter is when there are 15 breakfast riders cold c0ld rollin' yeeehaa sweet storm
