Just One More ...

Double Dub checking in

It started eight months ago. The LSM Community Photo Contest is about to come to an end. In less than a week, We'll be upon the Last Sunday of the Month, 11/24. One of two chances to "Step Up" and share the day of carving with the world. The Last Saturday of the Month is November 30, the last chance to snap a photo of your LSM and share it with us. The deadline for entries is December 4th, the following Wednesday.

It's been an amazing journey with the Carving Community. I couldn't be more thankful for every one's belief in sharing. That's basically all we're doing. Our smiles, photos, locations, joy, and passion for carving is simply being shared amongst friends. This little concept of having a regular community ride grew from a date, The Last Saturday of the Month. With your passion we call Trikke and your belief of sharing and community, we will continue to grow.

Thank you for joining the LSM Movement. Thank you for your participation with our contest. Best of luck to all our entries.

Thanks to my sponsors, Gildo Beleski, Ana D'Arace, and John Simpson of Trikke Tech, Ann Pirone and Fred Welch of Trikke Academy, and most of all, Trikke Andy, Irene and Sean Tice of SouthBay Trikke. Much Love

New Year! New Challenges!! New Goals on Fun!!!

Double Dub checking in
Here to invite the Carving Community to "Step Up" and accept a Challenge. Help us help you! Do you use a GPS app when Carving? Do you use a Garmin? Currently, there are many using the Endomondo App. I believe it's available for iPhones and other smart phones. In the program, it has a "Challenge" feature which polls our data. We're all checking in, recording our rides and this program adds it all up for us. It's pretty cool. we can click on personal profiles and share our performances. There are two challenges running right now. The "So Cal Carvers Total Trikke Miles" Challenge and the "Most miles Trikkeing in 2013" Challenge.
Whether if you carve daily, only on weekends, once per week, or during a Blue Moon, Join Us! This is all about setting some goals and sharing. It's not a competition! This is a measure of support, of your determination, and your wanting to share. Carving is about Fitness, Friends, and Fun! With the new year, We have set up a new challenge. I'm here to invite you to join in. The Challenge is the "2014 Carving Community Camaraderie". It begins on the 1st of January in 2014 and ends a year later in 2015 You'll need to sign up for the "Free" app and create a profile or choose a sign in option.
There is a challenge set up for Skkiiers as well.
Trikke SKKI Challenge 2013-2014 is set under "skiing, downhill".
Remember this is all just for FUN! For Newbies and enthusiast alike. Don't be discouraged to share your progress with the lean. This community is filled with good hearted folks willing to offer suggestions and meet up for training, you just need to share your desires for the carve. The miles matter only to what you set your goal on. This challenge is just a way for the community to cheer you on!
Have Fun. Please check-in and join us. and carve safely!

my favorite shot
Double Dub checking in.
We're almost there. Eight months' of entries, can you believe it?! Yes, folks. We're almost there. It's been an interesting experience to say the least. I hope you had fun participating in the Global LSM Community Photo Contest. On display for y'all is each month's entries. I'll sneak in the last month of November in December, just to keep it all together.

I can't say thank you enough. To everyone who has shared the passion we call Trikke. To everyone who "Steps Up" each and every month to share in the LSM Movement. Thank You!!! I truly believe this is about you, each one of us out there looking to get healthy, get mobile, have some fun, lose some weight, get fit, and the best part, meet and make a few friends! Certified Trikke Trainer Debbie Bumgardner couldn't have said it better. This Carving Community is all about Fitness, Friends, and Fun! Thank you!

The Last Saturday/Sunday of the Month is a regularly scheduled ride for carvers. A day that was chosen to invite any and all Carvers and Trikkers to "Step Up" and ride. Whether if you carved alone or in a group, on this weekend, We carve together and alone no more. In spirit, in passion, and for the love of the lean, This was to show support for one another. To help you express and share why you choose to rokk and roll for your form of exercise. This is about community. This is about you!

Why count? This is hard to explain. Is this it? Is this all there is? How are these official numbers? It's not! It's about having some fun! It's about memories, meeting up, and making some noise about a crazy little machine. It just shows how many had the chance to share their weekend. What I wanted from this is to be able to share your passion with others. To let others know where you are and where other carvers were and if an invite were open to come visit. Inspired by a couple of pioneers of the sport, Trikke Travel was an idea. To be able to travel and have a trikke available. Even better, to travel and be able to meet up for a ride! To share, not only the passion for Carving, but the love of your town.

What's up next? It will be the Third year of the LSM Movement. Believe when I say this would not have happened if it weren't for a few things coming together at the right time. Thank you to Andy Pliska, Irene and Sean Tice, the Team at SouthBay Trikke and Randy Boyd, founder/Co-creator of the TrikkeWorld Magazine . Without their encouragement, we wouldn't have the movement.Thanks to our first seven. Without your trust and belief in an idea, we would not be here as well. Thanks to the love and support from you, you're an awesome community to be associated with and to be included in.

And How can I forget, Thank you to Gildo Beleski, Creator of the Carving Vehicles we all so much enjoy and share. Thank you for your passion and you're passion to share with us. I can only hope our futures are both, prosperous and bright, Carve on, Master G! Hope to see you around the next turn.

I don't know what's next. Hopefully, a little break from the action. Don't worry I'm not going anywhere. I think I just need to refocus and take care of me and my life for a bit. There are a few projects I'd like you to keep an eye on. One is from Elise Bennett and her Trikke Universe website. If you know of any IT folks willing to help out or donate some time, please reach out. The other project, which may be part of the Trikke Universe is a Carvers Locator Map. Your participation will be required again. Thank you carvers. Good luck next month!
