What's Next?! ... The Movement continues ...

Double Dub checking in ...

As we close the books on another year of the LSM Movement, We can reflect back and see how the Spirit of the Last Saturday/Sunday of the Month Ride has grown. How the Passion for Trikke has spread. I welcome you and thank you for sharing this with us and with others.

Many have shared their solo rides but resolve to know that they are not alone, not on these weekends. During the LSM Weekends, Together we carve in spirit and passion. Encouragement, Joy, Accolades come with the sharing. We've heard stories of growing communities. Stories of Passion and learning to carve better, farther, and steeper. We, together, have made this happen. The LSM Movement would not be here without your belief and participation. On behalf of the Carving Community, We thank you for your efforts.

We have heard rumblings and await another growth for our community in the year to come. The Trikke Universe is poised to develop and further enhance our Community's growth. Many await two components, a new Trikke Forum and the Trikker/Carver Locator Map. The Trikke Universe is the brain child of Elise Bennett. Join me in wishing her well with this endeavor. It's quite a task she has put in front of herself. If you can assist in any way, I'm sure she'd love to hear from you. As for the Locator Map, It's info collection is being developed and as with much of what we do with and for the Carving Community, This too will require your participation to be successful. I hope they're up and running soon.

There are many stories to be shared from our second year. For me, personally, it was particularly challenging. My changes and challenges have occurred in my life since March. The undertaking of a nine month long Community Contest was in some ways my sanctuary. The kindness and caring of LSM Spirit rang true! And yet it was with the Community Contest that I had my biggest disappointment. I failed to share "The Moment" with everyone. Understand that the Nine months preceding were well done. Hard earned. and Time well spent with care, joy, and passion! But it was also a nine month build up to and for this " Moment " - the announcement of the Winners of the Contest.

The evening before was a great night of sharing for Trikke Andy and myself. We had a blast making the "Turbo Random Mixer". The Assembly of the "Double Dub Special Edition" was magical! I can't thank Trikke Andy (of SouthBayTrikke.com) enough for his tireless help, encouragement, and support through the last couple of years and especially during these past nine months. If folks are saying there wouldn't be an LSM Movement without "Double Dub". It's safe to say there wouldn't be a "Double Dub" without Trikke Andy. After my displeasure with the finish on the rims, I got a lung infection. Andy took what I had botched and made an awesome set of Obnoxious High Glow Yellow rims. Not to mention the rest of the assembly of the Trikke T12. I couldn't have done it without you, bro!

The Maiden voyage was an amazing moment. Well, pretty much the entire nine months were amazing. Which brings me back to my disappointment. It's always been about sharing. The meaning behind The LSM Movement is all about sharing. Now with one of the LSM's Proudest moments, I failed to share it. Oh, I know it's not my fault. Stuff happens! But the fact remains that this moment is gone. Not to be revisited or experienced again. I was unable to share the drawing of their ping pong ball with the winner and the Carving Community. Nine months of working towards these moments and I failed to capture it. My Bad!
