Introduction

Hi My name is Carolyn Perry. I'm from Aurora,IL.

What is your past experience with Trikke Carving Vehicles? Do you own your own Carving Vehicle? How long have you been riding?

Yes, I bought mine in July 2011. I just started and got lessons from Carol Jennet as of Oct 9,2011. My older Sister Susan drove me to Elk Hart, IN to meet Carol for the lesson.

Where are you located? (Please also click the little Account link at the top right, and set your location in your profile so it shows the correct City, State - instead of Portage, MI which it puts in by default)

Aurora, Illinois I'm 45 mins outside of Chicago.

Are you a certified trainer and/or dealer for Trikke? If so, provide your website and contact info if you like.

No- but I'm still thinking . About be a trainer. There is nobody from Aurora. Not a peep, I've shouted here and there,on Yahoo,& Facebook, went to Bing & Google. NO-BODY..

What got you interested in Trikke? (The infomercial, seeing someone riding one somewhere, etc?)

Yes staying up late night to show my parents that this what I want for my birthday. My dad said sure once you learn to fly to California. Well it took me a long while after that. But my luck changed in 2005 a bike show at Navy Pier came to Chicago and I took my friend Ann Keith. We walk everywhere and shaw this guy flying past us. We went to the section were they had them I was hooked once more,they even had guys doing stunts on them in this section taped off. Plus the Shamrock Marathon was there. I found some dealers who thought they had trikkes but could never show me them,kept saying they were sold out but I could pre-order for $495.00. Tht sounded fishy. So I went online searching then saved up and bought it. But wrote to the trikke comany to ask what size ,type I should get. So I got a T78 Air. In Apple green my fav color.

How did you find out about the Michigan Carvers Group?

From Wilson Wong - today told everybody,trikker Academy site on facebook- that there is a group coming your way and to contact Bruce W. and the www.meetup.com. I reached out to Bruce W. & Carol J. And once again to my sister telling her that this time she doesn't have to rent a car and travel over 4 1/2 hours. Just to have a lesson. I was doing this for me again and trying to enjoy a new way of improving on my trikke, also teaching me how to get around in Chicago by trikke. And have fun with it.
