This year there will be juniors and open divisons and if any female skaters show a girls divison, all are welcome and let as many people know about the event! If last years event was any thing to go by this year should be another big day. Look forward to meeting and skating with as many people that can make it. If you need accomadation there will be camping spaces available. For more details check out gravitystunts.com forum or phone Jeremy on 0409576900 Steve on 0424286028.     Rate post 197649 !

We asked the security guards about it and what would happen if we did get caught and the reply was "On Friday nights we have other things to worry about." which was cool to know. Still not game to really try it yet though haha. You should come down dude, it will be awesome. Just make sure you're able to push like f#@! for a few hours.     Rate post 197354 !

The full wash-up and results are at Old Skool Team forums page, in the Events section. Yeah the Old Skool Team has a heap of Force Drop Through's. Gavo has a custom 1 thats sweet. The longer ones are nice for rougher roads cause they eat up the bumps. The shorter one just plain flies. There nice boards with a good feel.

The Open division had a start ramp while the Beginner division had a push start. The course was flat, with 23 cones for the long span and 30 cones for the short span. The winning times were about 9.8 seconds for both courses. Cone penalty was 0.2 seconds per cone, with a maximum of 3 cones down before disqualification. Seeing as it was my first race and I've never skated vert, the ramp was a bit intimidating. I swallowed my fear and Just Did It. I now think ramp starts are cool. Nevertheless, I opted for the push-start Beginner division where I came 7th in a field of 13 in the long span race. I tried to check out people's equipment - I saw a lot of Gus trucks, and most wheels where narrow Hyper Stradas (?). There were about 25 racers in all, and most of the fast guys were aged late 30s/early 40s. There were a bunch of 20-somethings and a few teenagers, but they were generally the slower guys. Conclusion: Japanese slalom exists! And I gotta buy a slalom board. Wrestling my 28" wheelbase board around seemed very non-optimal. Well, that's my excuse anyway..     Rate post 190378 !

First Skate night in Yoyogi was a great time. The site worked really well and it will just keep growing. 2nd Monday of the month starting sometime around 7:45 until whenever. West Gate Yoyogi Koen - Tokyo So Tochigi (Inaka!!) is pretty far from this thing. Thanks for spreading the word and next time you are in Tokyo bring your board. We'll get a few guys together and carve up some pavement. Did you take any photos at Kugenuma yesterday? Would you be willing to write up a small update for the longskate section of Outdoor Japan?     Rate post 190218 !
