October 2013 LSM Recap Report

Hi, Double Dub checking in.
Hope everyone enjoyed a safe and Happy Halloween. This year I celebrated with 

Chad Guillory/mytrikke.com

SouthBay Trikke's 5th Annual Trikke 'n Treat Ride which so happens to be during the Last Saturday of the Month. This Month is like a marker for me. If I add a year, it tells me how long I've been carving. It also signals the coming month of November, The 3rd anniversary of when the LSM Movement was born.
This year, there's an added bonus. This November will bring the last month to enter our Community Photo Contest. Whether you're a community of one or a community of a dozen, I hope you'll share with us. Here are October's participants in the LSM. (please let me know if I accidentally omitted you) I hope you enjoy seeing some pictures of the growing communities.

Hi, Double Dub checking in
We're almost there! The Carving Community Contest is coming to the finale.
Prep work is continuing at SouthBay Trikke. Parts are coming in and assembly might start soon. As you can see, I've started with painting the rims. Color should be sprayed this weekend. The "Double Dub Edition" will be very special.
Stay tuned, we may have videos or updates coming. And we might test the "LIVE" Google Hangout which we're going to be using for the drawing of the winners.
So, after eight months, we have one more to go. I'm hoping the weather stays fair for everyone to "Step Up". For now, Here's this month's entries. Thanks for participating. Thanks for believing! And please, Keep on Carving!!!

September 2013 LSM Recap

Double Dub checking in!
Lots on the plate and the eyes and ears are abuzz. Coming to the end of our Community Photo Contest and the pressure got turned up on me. I'm in search of a way to draw our winners. Two more months, a possibility of two more entries! Don't sleep on this! You do know we're giving away a special "Double Dub Edition" Trikke T-12 Roadster, don't you?
The other new is that a couple of carvers have "Stepped Up" and have taken on the task of creating a Trikke Community Locator Map. It's far from being a simple task. So wish the guys good luck, cause we're going to need it.

What else is coming up? Holiday Season! Time to share your giving hearts. In planning your upcoming rides, how about partnering with a local charity or worthy cause? We all know of the big charities but how about something local for your communities. We'll be waiting to hear what y'all come up with.
Until then here's our recap of September. Thanks once again! Let's keep the LSM Movement going strong.

September LSM Community Photo Entries

Hi Double Dub checking in.

With two months left in the season long Community Contest, the excitement is beginning to build. I've been challenged to do more than draw the Ping Pong Balls out of a trash bag. Darn you, Roger Wildermuth of Emerald Coast Trikkers! Not sure how I'm going to pull this off. I've also been reminded to keep it simple and to keep it fair. Will do! Thanks for the reminder, Sharon Lee of First Coast Trikkers. Well needless to say but the pressure is also building on me. Another request came from Cindy Ward of Trikke DMV to broadcast the event , LIVE!!! Last Saturday of the Month Ride co-creator and LSM Movement sponsor/supporter, Andy Pliska of SouthBay Trikke Chimed in and gave the thumbs up. LIVE! it is! The date hasn't been set yet but expect the Drawing to happen before Christmas.
This month's entries fell short by 5 due to incomplete entry submissions. I offered a last call but got no replies. I'm not good in math but the odds look pretty good for frequent participants. So without further delay, Here are our September Entries.

August LSM 2013 recap

The Last Saturday/Sunday of the Month Ride for August was a split weekend. The LSM had Sunday on the 25th of August followed by the Saturday, August 31st. This month's LSM had two family reunions, in California and Utah. Three new to the Movement ~ Latitude Trikke in Denver, Colorado, Gert Nagtegaal from Netherlands (the first LSM in his Country, well that I know of), and Bill Shakal in Greenwood, Indiana. There was a big demo in Malaysia, Thanks to John for checking in. Trikke Indonesia had their Car-Free Day and checked in. Although their event happened on our LSM, it was actually Sunday there. Forgive me but having one of the first groups to join the LSM Movement check in after a hiatus, I couldn't help but list them with us.
Other recent news was the conclusion of Douglass Weymouth's Wheelie Contest. I hope you got into the fun ~ submitting Wheelies, and checking comments on the photos, that played out on Facebook. 
If you're looking for more fun or maybe some help, check out and search YouTube for videos from around the world. And if you repost, please give credit where credit is due.

Carve the Day! Thug every Moment!

July LSM Recap

Yo Double Dub checking in!
There's been a disturbance in the Force. Our Community has taken another hit. It seems as our arms are now shorter. The Community's ability to reach out is missing a limb. It's time for our community to look further, broader, and deeper to share our passion we call Trikke!

The LSM Movement has seen different locations, new carvers checking in, and Communities grow. It's time now to "Step Up" more than before. I'm sure, within the community, we'll grow another limb. With us growing the Community, in different ways, We'll be seen! There's chatter of reaching out to the medical field (physical therapy and insurance companies). I believe a couple of schools now include Trikke CV's in their physical ed. program. Hopefully, more people will begin to look for alternative forms of transportation. The Pon-e's will draw more attention with us showing them how fun it is to carve.

I have faith that Our Passion, Our Sport, Our Joy will reach more people.
We can hope that Trikke Tech hears us. We can hope this, we can hope that, or We can all share this carving sensation ourselves and support that which we love. For me, It's to get Thug! It's my Therapy. I know many of you feel as I do. I'm sure you would describe it in many different ways unlike I. Just remember it's about Fun, Fitness, and Friends! Otherwise, what's the point!
