Hi folks.

Sorry for the lack of posting recently. I have had my nose to the grind, pulling back-to-back 60 mile plus days trying to get to Hemet on time for the Lowe Syndrome Association fundraiser I spoke at on Saturday.

I am now about to leave Hemet after a wonderful weekend here with the Medellin Meester family, and am now bound for LA. A full update of the last couple of weeks of skating will follow once I get to LA. It has been a roller coaster ride of emotions and challenges, so stay tuned.

You all look as though you're at a National Party meeting with the blue and white balloons!

Thanks for making school exciting : )

You're the best Weka.

Keep on being the coolest guy ever!

Fantastic, Rob. I guess you're clear to go for the rest of the tour w/no bung-headed cops to stop you. Keep on chargin'.

Hi Rob.

Congratulations for setting a new world record! Now here are my news.

I planed to fly to China myself and try a bit skateboarding. I wanted to start in Tibet, thought it might be a bit more downhill from there and then meet up with you somewhere. But now of course I cancelled my flights to China.

Will instead fly again to Irkutsk in Russia and will try a bit skateboarding along the Trans Sibirian Railway until such time that i have equalled your world record,(of course I will let you have it)

Then I buy a bike and ride to Switzerland.! Will give you a Jodel when I'm at home.Take care my friend.

Hi Rob,

Just enjoyed catching up with the latest update. Bad luck about the stick-in-the-mud cops. Great that you got your camera fixed and made it to your talk in Hemet just as planned! No one ever doubted you would make it. I hope you enjoy some more smooth roads and slower days in LA.

Spring and cherry blossoms here in Nagoya. Also, only 18 more days until I am free of my current employment. Definitely looking forward to being back state-side for a few weeks in May.

Rob,

so excited that you MADE IT to the event! that is amazing. You're awesome.

Hang in there…

I emailed a friend of mine who is a TV Reporter for CBS news in Los Angeles… I sure hope he can contact you!

You've had some amazing adventures. I hope that your experience with the Lowe's fundraiser was something you'll treasure just as much as the ride.

cheers.
