It´s a Brazilian mag so it'll be written in Portuguese. It doesn't matter, as actions speak louder than words.

Dave,
Loop the loop. Sounds like a yo-yo trick. Dave, your making the loop is unbelievable! Congratulations. Next thing you know you will be trying to get me to do it. Can you imagine, a 56 year old doing the loop?
My try at comedy. Nothing but respect for your skate skills!

claim, that he was about to pull it, and then did
End of story, and if anyone ever claims anything

All Around Championships are important to the history of the Sandia event because no other event since then has challenged skaters to show their skills in such a wide variety of skating. Alva won in Long Beach in '77 doing Downhill, Slalom, Bowls, Freestyle and Barrel Jump, setting a world record. The '78 Championships dropped barrel jumping and added cross country. In Abq we call it Cross Town because it's 8.3 miles along a striped bike lane, but the obstacles are the kinds of traffic, bikers, cracks and manhole covers that you would encounter crossing any town on your skate.
The winner of the Sandia All Around Challenge will be crowned the best ALL AROUND skater in the world based on 9 events. If you disagree, then show up and show us up! Last years Sponsorship Lottery winner was Jason Mitchell, who did pretty well 3rd). Are you coming back for more Jason? O'Shei? Fadell? TA?
Lottery applications are now being accepted for Pro Skaters that want to take the Challenge. One skater will be awarded entry fee, lodging, and the use of an enormous quiver to undertake which ever terrain they are least prepared for.

So, last night I decided to pop in Animal Chin. Well, I am kinda watching it with one eye while I am doing some other stuff and I see the bouncer outside the blue tile lounge sorta looks like that Skip dude from the Dogtown movie. While I am lookin' in the credits, I see that not only was it him, but Hackett and Olson are listed there too!
What did you guys do on that movie?

Hackett, Olson or anyone from BLR:
Something's wrong with the website. The front page comes out ok, but nothing happens next, ie no access to other parts of the site. Please have it checked.
Hey guys, come down to Brazil some time. You'll find hills that range from Rain Forest narrow slopes to looong steep 50mph+, all this between Rio and São Paulo alone. If you guys ever bother going to the Southern Region, Teutonia is the s#@! - some guys speed up to 70mph! Oh, lest not forget about cement parks, beaches, girls, cheap beer...

KINDA' LIKE OBSTICAL COURSE RACING OR PARK SLALOM- IN A WAY.
CROSS COUNTRY IS REALLY PUSHING AS FAST AS YOU CAN AROUND A SET COURSE FOR SPEED
AND BEST TIME.
PARK SLALOM DIFFERS IN THAT IN PARK SLALOM, THE RIDER SHOULD PUMP THE TRANSITION OF THE PARK FOR SPEED- NO PUSHIING AFTER THE TIMER STARTS.
SOMETIMES CROSS COUNTRY WAS DONE AS A RELAY WITH A BATON BEING PASSED BETWEEN THREE RIDERS/RACERS- I.E. DENNIS MARTINEZ, STEVE SHISHLER AND MYSELF WON THE CROSS COUNTRY AT THE FIRST OASIS CONTEST IN 78'.

Here is the quote from a 1996 interview. The interview can be found at
http://www.angelfire.com/ca/alva2/1996.html
Tell me about the world championship.
It took place in Carlsbad, California in 1978. The sponsors were Hang Ten and some other big corporation like Pepsi or something. The competition was pretty well rounded as far as the skate scene went back then. Anyone who was anybody was invited to compete in all five events. They had bowl riding, which was relatively new, freestyle, slalom and cross-country. I tied for first in the bowl, which was a joke due to politics, third in freestyle, and second in slalom. This pretty much clinched my overall victory; all I had to do was place top five in downhill and cross-country, which I easily did. This made me the men's overall World Professional Skateboard Champion. A very great accomplishment to my self at the age of 19. Immediately succeeding this contest, I founded Alva Skates, with my first business partner, Peter Zehnder. The rest is history.

Wasn't it was Bowl riding, freestyle, slalom, downhill and high jump? Also it was 1977, not 1978. He also set a barrel jumping record in 1977. -Geo
Can you confirm this Hack?
