Gar Bradley my crew for the second phase of the On Location Tour had spent the three days crossing the country from Seattle to Dallas and dealing with a number of mechanical problems along the journey, kudos to him for working through them and arriving with the Tour Rig in one piece in Dallas. 2000 miles is a very long way, especially when you are by yourself in a 65' rig weighing 36,000 lbs total.
I flew back to Dallas with Diego, a young student from Mexico who will spend the next 9 months with my family, going to school in Orlando and training in the afternoons after his schooling. This will be an amazing experience for him and the start of his adventure living in the US with our family!
This will be the start of a whole week of clinics in Texas, first stop is Dean Drozd's Lake in Lake Dallas. I had met Dean previously in Orlando as well as a good friend of his - Chad Baker, through Eddie Roberts whilst at Radar. We put together a few days with a great bunch of very talented slalom skiers who take it seriously and really know what they are doing.
As I arrived at the lake on Saturday afternoon two of the Lakes members were heading to the Senior World Championships in Italy with the intention of a high placing. These guy's are great skiers and we were going to have some fun.
Word spread pretty quickly and the clinic attracted skiers from four other ski lakes in the Dallas area, including the Joe, Audrey and Ruth McCrearey who are National level skiers in their category. We had Chris & Lynda along with Randy Johnson from Randy's lake near Houston.
