Yeah, My bad for my smartazz little "popsicle stick" comment. Those guys were very cool, very into what we were doing on the slalom side, and they TOTALLY RIPPED.

yea that skate demo was pretty cool.a lot of the guys there are some pretty heavy rippers.this is the cell that spawned melcher(see the juice mag with t.a. on the cover,melcher has an interview).they were totally stoked on the slalom scene.a lot of the guys were running the cones on our boards and they were videoing c-money.good vibe ebtween both camps,just goes to show,skating is skating and if you flow,it always translates into respect.cf

Chicagoland wigglers and Knucklehead Racing Team will be heading out to Oak St. Beach tomorrow 8/31/02 around 1:00pm for a session. Apparently there is a new school popsicle stick demo being done, we'll set up some slalom cones and show them what flow is all about.

Hi Fellas and Girls, I'mm taking a break from my posts over at Riding Techniques to ask for help. I've been in touch with the City Manager of a small Midwestern town who will close a mile's worth of hilly, curvy asphalt in his municipality for a longboard event if I can get the appropriate insurance. Can any of you point me towards an event director or an insurance underwriter for information about event-specific liability and indemnification coverage for a skateboard event? Should I try to organize a series of races, or just a festival with low speed activities? What is a fair fee to charge participants in order to cover the insurance and facility expenses? Do you have waiver and disclaimer forms that I can show the mayor?
Thanks, DR

Legalize skateboarding !

Tim, let me know how you make out. I, too, live in a city where skateboarding is illegal (Providence, RI). Hugely hypocritical, too, being the home of the Gravity Games for 3 years. While largely unenforced, it does leave the door open for "selective enforcement", in other words, get hassled whenever the cop feels like it. I got pulled over, flashing lights and all, when skating to a public event that causes huge traffic jams. The cop said to "pick it up". When I protested, the cop said there was a skatepark provided for the activity (true), but I said that wouldn't get me from point A to Point B. There is an effective organization here called Critical Mass, you may have heard of it, that organizes bike rides at 5pm on Fridays, guaranteeing a traffic jam, the point being that if bike lanes were provided, the bikes wouldn't cause a jam. A similar mass ride on skateboards might raise some eyebrows, risking arrest, of course.

Hey,
My name is Tim Clark, I started a campaign in San Diego to legalize skateboarding in the roadway for transportation... I have been to a bunch of city council meetings and have got the city manager to review our law 84.12 the city wants to change it , we have the support of the land, house, and useage committee... they are waiting on the governer of California to pass some ammendment to allow the Segway for Sacromento... please join my campaign so we can roll the streets legally... check out my website at http://www.rollingwheel.com so you can get involved...
Also view my mission to create a traveling skateboard history tour... the Art of Skateboarding... did events in SD and LA this year...
all the best... Tim Clark / dedicated rollin citizen
please keep me informed on any new laws or things that could help my campaign,,, thanks

Mirtzl: I'm in Libertyville, a north suburb. I get in an hour here, 30 minutes there on a large quiver of long-, slalom-, and hybrid- (banks/skateparks/pools) set-ups.
Always looking for someone to ride with.

Arizona skaters, lets get practicing. i have some good North areas, it is cool up here comparatively. between Adam T and myself we have over 100 cones so that isn't an issue. i will have a second board soon too for borrowing purposes.
we need to look for a place to race in Dec thru Feb/Mar. we were at anthem but it is very built up now. we could have a winter race or even a monthly series. lets get on it! New Mexico you are invited to play too. loneskater@hotmail.com

Hey, is there anyone out here in Utah that is somewhat hardcore when it comes to longboarding? I've seen plenty of posers and I've met a few kids that bomb small hills but is there anyone that does slides and insane hills. Does anyone know of any insane hills? I'd be willing to teach you slides I just need some connections to find some new places and someone to push me a little bit. Please email. I miss the bay area.
