have you posted about a colossal ramp before? maybe it's just a deja vu. colossal ramp, colossal crashes, colossal crowds.
herbn have you seen some of those videos on youtube of those guys going down the hill next to tiorati? I'm tring to hook up with them sometime, I'd be alot better than doing it alone.

Congratulations on getting your own little piece of Kludyville at NCDSA Rick!!! I couldn't think of a better person to be hosting this forum!!!
I think the ultimate speed run could be down the spill way of a dam. Somewhere on this planet there must be one that is incredibly steep and long that is skateable and has transition leading into a concrete channel. Getting permission to skate it and attempting a speed run would be another matter...
The IGSA has a Tag Heuer speed trap that is accurate to 1/1000th of a kph/mph. Landingham and I bought it years ago from some speed skiing guys. McKendry was telling me about this hill when I was in CO for the Slalom Nationals. Maybe we can organize a speed record race there in the future...

ever think that there could be a speed record set on an artificial kind of hill, like those monster ramps they set "highair" and distance jump records on? Maybe an extension to an existing hill or transitions added to some other structure, to make it skatable. I think high airs should be in a pumpable ramp, like at the end of a contest they have a high air contest on the same ramp as the contest. One step further, to make it truly valid it should be a physical effort, like no roll in everybody starts from the flat.

yo kludy
forget Brazil. Fort Collins Colorado is the new brazil. Kevin Reimer from BC went to colorado after maryhill. i have'nt skated this hill YET, but Rob McIII has with only positive things to say. its 12 to 14% grade with one turn where you have to cross the DY to straitline the sweeper, nice long runout to. gnar speeds.
check the vids

Rick even if you don't realize it I bet most of the people here see you as the stoke of skating embodied into a caring father and role model for all those young bucks out there. it's definitely appropriate that you get your own thread!
hows the Brazil prep going?

"On 9/13/2007 Timothy Leary wrote in from United States (205.188.xxx.xxx) Since this is about speed and winning, maybe Adam should ask Will Brunson to moderate? "
Since Will OWNS Chaput in the speed/racing dept, I would say yes!!!! But I don't see Will being that interested in hosting a website forum, now, that Kludy guy, It's about time!!

How does Rick Kludy on Speed sound, everyone?
How about it, Rick?!!!1
