skater dave-
don't be so humble, you rip. i remember as soon as my buddy eddie saw your 12"er he had to have one, and is now hooked. also, i saw that pic of you with your skaterbuilt freestyle board, was that thing just a custom for youself or is it a production model? if so, i'm interested...

Thanks JRC-I remember you guys. I'm not the raddest crusher in the world-but I have fun. I'm certainly not merely a slalomer that dabbles in freestyle-I am 100% Skateboarder and I love all types of skating from slalom and freestyle to ditches and pools. It's A L L good.....and F U N.

Rene - It's my English 'humour' again - I know who Skaterbuilt Dave H is and how rad he skates... not that Ive ever seen it in real life!

And his 12'' Pig is an awesome deck too.

Props to all o' y'all.

You too Rene C of the famous family trio.

Hey readers... Jack and I were eating lunch at Longboards Grill in SB yesterday with Bill and Bob Bahne and the Grill was runing some video of Primo doing some wild footwork. Anyone know what the video is? Not Caspers or SkateKings.

Rene you seem to know the most on this site,when I do a frontside grind in a bowl do I lean in towards my front wheels or back on the tail? I also heard you were in big movie Vegas or some type of gangster film? Dagoo

Please do NOT name call on this forum - alot of people read
these posts - and I can't let this go by when someone is questioning my good friends' INTEGRITY- - -the person in question - - - Dave "Skaterbuilt" Hegstrom.

INTEGRITY - now there's a word you don't hear very much anymore. -This cat has it!
We're talkin about a young family man that has his own skateboard company, and has one of the raddest skateboard model boards - the 10" & 12" pig , and SUPERTACO - - -out there in the skateboard market right now !

Let me set the record STRAIGHT by saying AS AN EYE WITNESS -
I have SEEN Dave - - - -Bomb Downhill Runs, Slalom in Giant,Tight, and Hybrid Events, -by the way, he races in the pro category- Dave also does one heck of a street freestyle routine, he does flatland freestyle too , AND....
last week I watched him and Kelly Bellmar rip up the Westminister Skate Park !
You say - so what? ....let me tell you - when Dave was in the bowl doing axle -grinds - you could hear it from WAY FAR AWAY -
so much so,,,,, that when he was riding - a bunch of kids there at the park- came over to watch what he and Kelly were doin !!!

2 words - "nuf said!"

Whats up with trying to smack on Dave, besides being core member of the SSS he can skate anything anywhere anytime can you! Bring your keyboard riding buts down to the next race and we will see who the real kooks are!

Wow,what a great site! I love the way that it put together, you cover so much of skateboarding and its history. I love all the old stories of pro's from the past and how it was seen through other peoples eye's. I also like to see some of the old pro's still skatin today and that they are ready to give advice to new skaters. I really like the importants you place on SOUL RIDING,thats whats mostly missing, soul. You guys keep up the great work,you'r doing a awesome job! Dagoo

I wanted to take a moment and thank you all for inviting me out to the Flatland Jam session. I had a great time skating with all of you. The highjump was a blast too! Skating with old friends and making new one's! That's what skateboarding's all about! I've flown out twice now from Colorado for these Jam sessions, so I hope to see some of you visit us here in Colorado! We've got some great skaters out here too, so I plan to organize a Jam out here soon. I'll keep you posted. Hope to see you all at the Breckenridge slalom event soon! If any of you want to see photos of this event, I'll post them on my www.skatelegends.com website soon! Take Care!

Lynn Cooper

PS. Ed Economy, please contact me at cooperproductions@msn.com. Thank you for the honor of letting me skate on your historical longboard!

Dagoo -
Since I'm one of the fella's with a helmet on in the
Flatland Jam photo, I will answer your question.
Also, as always, there are children reading these NCDSA forums getting info about skateboarding.

I like to do handstands, skyhook board jumps, and high jumps, when freestyling.
Yeah, I know it sounds real 'Old School', but I've never been seriously hurt skating - BEACAUSE I wear safety gear.

I like to wear safety gear even @ ditches, friends ramps, friends pools, AND "free" skateparks, - not to mention slalom racing too!

My good friend Dave "Skaterbuilt" Hegstrom, also protects his skull with a better super safe padded helmet now, after taking a bad crash @ The FCR Lake Elsinore Slalom Race.

By the way, I personally timed THAT hill, after the race , with my van, from a DEAD STOP 3/4 of the way up - and it read 37 mph...
....One of the fastest hills ever on the FCR Series!

Dagoo - - - - - - - -nothin wrong about asking questions - so skate safe, have fun, and please respect the skate cats out there that paved the way for folks like you, and were DOIN IT way before you were, dig? ......Cool.

Have a Pepsi Day! ......... -Rene' "Cannonball" Carrasco.

Well my dear friend Dagoo; grip tape on the underside of a Freestyle deck helps a lot during casper tricks, because your foot stays put.

Good to see so many guys and gals hanging out and jamming, having FUN!
So this gathering is old school / newschool / progressive school...however you call it. Good to see some cross overs too..oh well back in the day a skater just skated whatever crossed his or her path.
Feel free to check out my new website www.yoyoskates.com
