“I lost 80lbs this month”

“I’m executive level IT but do not own a smart phone or digital camera”

It went on and on.

Like I said, you don't have to make stuff up. The fact that you might not like how ark is going about this doesn't make him wrong.

In light of recent posts, Jenn stopped taking state travel documentation pics, However, I got to thinking about you guys that were having fun...So here is an update...Jen has been driving and skating 14 hours a day, I am tired, hungry, and dirty, usually cold too, but it is hot today. I took a really hard fall on my bad hip in Indiana, and when my head hit the ground, my teeth chomped together, and I broke one, so been rinsing my mouth out with hydrogen peroxide till I get home so I don't get infection...Good news, I am 1 hour from the CA. line, I am going to stop in Reno for the night, and you guessed it, tomarrow Skate CALIFORNIA!...Both coasts of the United States in a week!...So very excited, Cant wait!

I remember him as the guy who said C# was "dead" because apparently he couldn't figure out how "pointers" worked in it.

This thread should be renamed.

"Jennifer bullshits her way through several pages of nonsense."

jennifer · « **Reply #205 on:** October 14, 2020, 02:36:36 pm »

That doesn't even make sense, There is even a pic right in front of you...I thought you left this thread back on page 2 or something.

Mike A · « **Reply #206 on:** October 14, 2020, 02:39:16 pm »

Post another pic of a road sign.

Well, I am, driving, Can you even read?...I am an hour from Reno Nv.

Mike A · « **Reply #208 on:** October 14, 2020, 02:42:28 pm »

Are there times when you are not driving?

jennifer · « **Reply #209 on:** October 14, 2020, 02:46:04 pm »

Not really, drive Skate, sleep, Coast to Coast, in a week...you try that ,even road signs are tricky pics to get.

Mike A · « **Reply #210 on:** October 14, 2020, 02:47:28 pm »

Yeah. Imaginary trips can be really exhausting.

jennifer · « **Reply #211 on:** October 14, 2020, 02:49:04 pm »

I wouldnt know...What you dont belive the sign or what, at least I took a pic...Where is that dreamy pic of your amp at?

jennifer · « **Reply #212 on:** October 14, 2020, 02:52:04 pm »

The good news, I am in Ca. San Francisco area (American canyon) up the North side, The cement here is amazing, like ultra smooth architectural type stuff, that even has a cool shine on it even in the night, the weather is dreamy, And did finally find a cute guy walking by to get a pic for you guys (without stealing my phone) ....The bad news, I would imagine some of you were secretly wondering how this thread would end, And now we know...I did NOT skate Ca. I could not step up on it without severe pain, The more I tried the worse it got, Finally gave up crying in the night, This adventure is over (Epic fail) And feel bad if I diddnt get to skate your state (sorry)...Jenn will be fine however, I have put the skateboard away and going to Mexico (to get some dental work done,) Then this Princess is going home.😔

chopperthedog found this thread to be an interesting read. Ark made the mistake of coming into one of chopperthedog's threads awhile back, didn't end well for ark.

good day.

jennifer · « **Reply #220 on:** October 15, 2020, 01:23:58 pm »

Hello Choppeddog, Its been awhile, hope things have been good for you😜...I guess I dont really remember Ark, would like to think he wasn't all bad anyway, everyone has their certian idiosyncrasies.

You didn't commit the heinous crime of putting a MAME cabinet in your break room at work, did you?

What is this? The cheesecake thread?

jennifer · « **Reply #223 on:** October 15, 2020, 08:40:36 pm »

You know guys...I been laying here with ice bags thinking about Trumps wall, and all the hassles of border crossing, I am feeling considerably better, with possible exception of drooling on myself because of too much Orajel...I am going back...I will skate CA, It may not be fast, It won't be pretty, If I don't get a pic, I dont care this is personal... and then home. Thinking rather than Napa area, going to try Oakland.

chopperthedog · « **Reply #224 on:** October 15, 2020, 08:56:14 pm »

Well, the "wall" as you say, would be trouble if you were trying to cross illegally in a remote area I guess, but ports of entry have been the same for decades. chopperthedog thinks you're bummed, cause Jennifer isn't considered essential under the current travel restrictions.

good day.

jennifer · « **Reply #225 on:** October 15, 2020, 09:08:44 pm »

LMAO...That is funny...Covid is real, However all I have done with this whole trip is constantly wash my hands with alcohol, (still don't have a mask) and try not to touch my face, Jenn feels fine in that respect...My Tooth however seems out of place, from that Indiana fall, if that makes any sense, And is aparently broken,, I want to be closer to home in case that turns into something difficult to fix...If you guys around the world are curious that trip from Maine to California was 3500 miles (dont know what that is in KM) But it is a long drive.

jennifer · « **Reply #226 on:** October 15, 2020, 11:51:06 pm »

OMG, I SO SKATED CALIFORNIA!...Omg, The most exciting, horrifying, ride ever, I should probibally be dead right now...I could not have done it without you guys! (one in particular you know who you are😜) Omg, that was soooo scary...Thx guys😘

jennifer · « **Reply #227 on:** October 16, 2020, 12:32:23 am »

I was on the sidewalk rubbing my hip, and spitting peroxide like I been doing, thinking ya, just ride it. Well sidewalks out in the Bay area kind of dish into the street like a trough kinda thing so ride, down the trough into the street, Easy right?... Well not really, but I did, and thought I was done, Jennifer rode the sidewalk, done, big deal...I stood in the middle of the road, smelling the ocean breeze, thinking of you guys as I looked down this long curved road seeming going nowhere (you know where this is going dont you😈)...So I went and got that big longboard, stood on that sidewalk for like seemed forever, And let it roll (I cant stand and push because my hip hurts, so using gravity at this point) it went click, click, click down the sidewalk, hit that gutter trough, shot me into the street, curved the the right, and that road had me...The first 10 feet would have been sketch to stop with my bad hip, but I could have, That was my last comprehensive thought, Time and space and even sound vanished, I come around that last curve felt like 100mph...Paralyzed with fright I couldn't move just following the centrifugal force of the turn it at that point started going uphill and became councius of the bearings of the wheels and the wind in my face, and not dead...If you guys ever even thought about rides on a skateboard you gotta do Ca. at least once in your life...Thx again guys, Jennifer is going home.

jennifer · « **Reply #228 on:** October 23, 2020, 01:54:06 pm »

That was a long, long ride, Thanks for coming along with this Princess, it was fun to see where you all live (Sorry I missed some states)...I got my tooth fixed, dont feel sick (planning to quarantine anyway) and finally made it home.😜

jennifer · « **Reply #229 on:** February 08, 2021, 02:42:01 pm »

Update to this insanity...Today I decided to try again and perhaps even learn a trick, it is cold here so I went down to the motel to skate the service hallway, Well it did not go so good...Aparently I am afraid to try again after finally healing up (for the most part, hip still hurts sometimes)...I put my foot on it, and just could not jump on...Fear, and failure is in Jenns head...Will have to try again.😒

bobbyb13 · « **Reply #230 on:** February 08, 2021, 02:43:14 pm »

Helmet!

jennifer · « **Reply #231 on:** February 08, 2021, 02:56:35 pm »

Curiously the wheels on my board are big soft cruiser wheels with risers and gets the board pretty high in the air, Thinking that center if gravity is not optimal for learning a trick, so ordered some new smaller harder wheels...I was watching some reviews on helmets, and aparently some of them implode inwards upon impact, It seems safer to not have one at all.

jennifer · « **Reply #232 on:** February 08, 2021, 03:02:12 pm »

Covering my bottom with bubble wrap might be a better plan, That's where I usually land when I fall, Lol...But for now, Jennifer is afraid to even put both feet on the board, Physiological I know, but still scary.

bobbyb13 · « **Reply #233 on:** February 08, 2021, 03:08:32 pm »

Pro-Tec helmet

And hip girdle from somebody's old ice hockey equipment pile!

jennifer · « **Reply #234 on:** February 08, 2021, 03:10:38 pm »

I diddnt even know they made such a thing, may have to look into that...Neighbors are going to think I have finally gone insane all dressed up like a hockey player.🙄

jennifer · « **Reply #235 on:** February 08, 2021, 03:14:35 pm »

I do not like this feeling of failure however...So, I am going to tighten up the trucks a little more (less wobbly) And try again later.

bobbyb13 · « **Reply #236 on:** February 08, 2021, 03:17:24 pm »

Hips low, head and shoulders upright and over the board!

and look out for gravel

jennifer · « **Reply #237 on:** February 08, 2021, 03:26:02 pm »

Giggle, you make that sound easy...Yes little rocks are bad, learned that the hard way, the big soft wheels are helping with that from what I remember, and those smaller hard wheels are going to need some thought on that subject...But to actually do it, I remember...Push, Push, Push jump on turn feet sideways...Just afraid of the jump on part right now, probibally because of the hell I went through at the dentist...And my hip, I am wondering if that wasn't actually broke or something cause it was bad, and still hurts sometimes.

jennifer · « **Reply #238 on:** February 08, 2021, 03:35:38 pm »

As for a trick, I want to ride off a curb, but the physics of that is not as easy as it looks... First would be speed, going fast enough to clear the gutter (and all those little rocks), and getting the board into the air (I know, it sounds crazy) But flying through the air into the street would solve multiple problems, so That Ollie pop shove trick is my next thing...After I get all brave again (If ever) 😒

jennifer · « **Reply #239 on:** February 08, 2021, 03:42:13 pm »

But that said...It incorporates two of my biggest fears, doing a controlled wheelie, and landing on the edge of the board. (And of course falling face down into the road).😳
