My wife, soul mate, best freind, mother to my 4 kids and I lost her just over a year ago. Sucks real bad, my life has not been the same, losing to much weight.
She was one of a kind that could make the madest person smile !
If not for her none of you would have ever held of me, foresure. She told me that if I did not try and live my dream of racing skateboards when I was old and gray that I was regret not trying feeling like , ( I COULD HAVE DONE THAT )
Because of her I did it with not regrets !
GOD I MISS HER .

fastest man in the bahamas..lol
On 10/11/2007 Mark Grimace wrote in from Bahamas  (24.244.nnn.nnn)

Speed is relative I suppose...to some 40mph isn't fast but when you NEVER get the chance to fly even a jump from now and then is good.

Everyday after work I take a few boards and drive to the biggest, and only, real hill on the island of Nassua Bahamas. Yesterday was like any other so I threw what I call "the big four" boards in my jeep and headed out. As I was leaving my wife yelled "you know there's a big storm coming in right? high winds and rain". I took a sec and looked off my living room balcony and low and behold way off the coast I could see the storm rolling in off the ocean. I raced over to the hill and started walking up. I started the first couple runs riding my Revenger and carved a few out. Then switched to my top squam for some bombing. The wind was really starting to pick up and the tail wind was amazing. After about two more runs I switched to the big gun...my "gofast" set up. Wood/Carbon EVO, JimZ 200mm Trucks, ceramic 10mm sins and lime bigzigs. The first run was fast...probably faster then the next but there was no one to tell me how fast i was really going...but it felt fast. Just as I started walking up the hill a buddy from work stopped and offered me a ride up. I told him about my fast run and he said "why dont i follow you down and see how fast your going".

I pushed like I had never pushed before and settled into my tuck(which for the record is sooooo much tighter after I have now lost 60 poiunds..lol) I put my head down and felt the tail wind pushing me from behind. as I took the corner a ways down the road I proceeded to drift into some gravel and ended up on the grass as I stopped. My buddy pulled up and through his windshield he held up 4 fingers and a zero.

40 miles and hour in the flat as heck Bahamas.

So I have no proclaimed myself as "the fastest longboarder in the Bahamas"

so come one come all....I invite anyone to come down here and race me. And yes this is a feeble attempt to have someone to ride with...lol

* for the record was in a full face and knee pads w/gloves.

Speed is relative I suppose...to some 40mph isn't fast but when you NEVER get the chance to fly even a jump from now and then is good.

Rick,

I'm already here in the South of Brazil. I am staying next to Sergio's house with K-Rimes and Striker Lyons. We rented a house for a month @ $275.00! It is on the island of Florianopolis. 4856We will then drive to Teutonia in Rio Grande Du Sol. It will be nice to be rested and having a vacation on this island.

See you soon,
Cliff Coleman

Downhill Skateboard Speed Record
On 10/8/2007 Kludy wrote in from United States  (68.8.nnn.nnn)

FOR THE RECORD I WORE THE GPS ONE TIME AND IT READ 63MPH.
I FEEL SO BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO RIDE MY SKATEBOARD THAT FAST.
ITS FUNNY, PEOPLE WHERE AT THE BOTTOM FREAKING ON US AND I WAS THINKING THAT I HAD TO BE 80MPH EASY AND I ASK A MAN TO READ WHAT IT SAID. I WAS A LITTLE LET DOWN AND THE MAN WAS VERY BLOWN AWAY LOOKING AT WHAT i DID IT ON !
sTAND-UP RULES !
THAT WAS MY 3RD RUN, WE DID IT 9 TIMES !

Rick Kludy ON Speed, Hah!!!!!!!
On 10/7/2007 Kludy wrote in from United States  (68.8.nnn.nnn)

I just got home and what a great insane,fun , no slpeed weekend !
To weather was insane, perfect, the young Bucks ,insanely talented as well as fast ! When we got there and they took me for a drive down the hill 1st I was freaking. It was scary !When I got on it the road was so insane smooth that you could take real big speed and ever feel like you where on a skateboard. That magic carpet ride in the movies was there on that hill, insane ! Then put a little tail wind and it was more insane !
I think it was just what the doc ordered, (Doc Go Fast) That Is !
As I get to the airport the weather started changing and it started raining alittle and why the time My plane took off it was gray and getting cool .
WHAT A INSANE WEEKEND !
HOW FAST DID I GO !
As far as clocking me I would not do it, as far as how fast I whent.
The last run I was flying !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

one measly mile per hour faster
On 10/7/2007 herbn wrote in from United States  (64.12.nnn.nnn)

is 5280 feet an hour 88 feet a minute, on a one mile hill where you average 40 mph it will take you about 1 and a half minutes to descend so if your aerodynamics increase your average speed by 1 measly mile per hour that's 132 feet ahead at the bottom. I had very much physical proof of this today, that gap is about the difference between civilian wardrobe with a plain fullface helmet and a racers leather suit and aerohelmet ,races are won by a lot less, now i want to gear up.

Drinking beers and giddy with laughter after going faster than ever before. Aero board, Speed suit, I'm so fast...then Rick passed me at 70+...very uncool. I'm mean all the time I spent trying to look fast and he ruins it. What a day.

Hey Brian and Rob, you should take him to the boulder hill. Actually, only Brian has been there. It's intense. If you're looking for something a little technical, it's the place to go.
