Wes, I don't think that wording gets it done. There are, for example, skateboard specific braking systems. I think the Question of Six is better resolved with something that leaves that particular question clearly answered. Shall there be any limit on the number of lean-steer trucks on skateboards? ...

Erik Basil

Michael, you've obviously got plenty of emotional issues. You may have something substantive to back some of them up but, based on what you've posted that I know to be pure baloney, I rather doubt it. If you've got an issue with the DHB because they haven't done something you think they should for E...

Erik Basil

Michael, I was sorry to see your commentary, although I certainly respect your right to hold such opinions. A few of them may be poorly informed, however. Silverfish is proud to be media sponsor for the Worlds, and we've been promoting the event for several months, already (not to mention other DHB ...

Those are the Star-Tracs, if they've got a narrow lip with the embossing right on the edge.

A Race Report and some new photos are up on the Front Page of the 'Fish.

Cat brings her A Game, that's for sure! Great skating by all and, as an extra bonus from Kevin Dunn, he's transmitted results to ISSA for rankings points! Very cool.

Erik Basil

Okay, 2007 is shaping up to be a good year for big events like the Slalom Worlds in N. Virginia and the very real possibility of a La Costa Open on the road. You'll be able to read all about those before they happen on Silverfish, and any number of other places especially including here. If you've g...

Erik Basil

As one would rightly expect, the La Costa Boys event went off great. Sure, there was some wind and a few sprinkles of rain, but the sun prevailed and so did Carrasco and Leach! If you want to see some photos, there are about 500 of them over on Silverfish. We'll have a race report on Wednesday, too.

Erik Basil

It looks like it's going to be windy, but clear! Bring your glasses. Bennett kicked in $300.00 to the purse!

MORE INFO is here. See you Sunday!

Exactly. The frustrating part is that when the site requires work at a computer console, skatin' suffers. Ironically, it's the high volume of visits and participation that can lead to glitches. We prefer it when it just runs along on its own. "Go Skate!" and we mean it.

Erik Basil

Yeah... well it all started around 1pm Pacific on Monday. We caught some database dumps and links from search engines failing like crazy...Yahoo, then Mac, then Google...then the only people coming to the 'fish were the ones that clicked a bookmark. A tech decided to "fixit" and took us down for an ...

Erik Basil

Wow, still decompressing from the whole thing... it was sure cool to see so many fast skaters in so many divisions. Made for long days, too... The last of the galleries is finally up on the 'fish.

Outlaw racing is today, at Pump Station, for the pre-event GS. If you need more information, go to the last page of the Encinitas Open Thread on Silverfish, or check the contest calendar on Adam's site. Photos and coverage of the races will be taken and provided by SilverfishLongboarding.com.

Erik Basil

Thanks, Steve. All the credit for making this event happen goes to Tiger, Lynn and the community of skaters that answered the call for a letter and phone contact campaign to the City of Encinitas. If anyone is interested in more detailed information and more graphics/photos, but sized to fit within ...

Problem solved, FYI, all. That link may even be dead now.

Only a few video cameras were on the hill. Maria Carrasco had the best one and the best locations.

Those look great!

The construction looks great, and the shape has that sexy, Fibreflex nose to it.

Somebody rabbit-punch the photographer for leaving that rear truck crooked.

Hahahah!!

Yeah, the Axes provide a killer platform, built by a pro using racing parts and just plain work great, right out of the box! They're certainly multiplying like rabbits at the sessions I go to.

Silverfish Longboarding.com and La Costa Boys Racing have teamed up again to present a slalom clinic at the Pump Station venue. This time, we're doing it on May 6th, asking participants to toss $2 bucks in the pot to buy lunch for the La Costa Boys and expecting both great weather and a substantial ...

Major modern differences are: 15 degree kick stomp rear. Drilling on the tail (vertically drilled for great truck alignmnent). ...

I heard FlexDex are bulletproof. Is that true?

I'll bet it weighs less than that lead-fiber tank you had in California, Michael. Man, I hurt my wrist just trying to heft that thing off the terra! Was that a depleted uranium center ply? (It did kinda "shimmer" from a distance, and I appreciate you letting my cook my lunch by setting the bag on yo...

Maria Carrasco took a bunch of hi-res video, and some great stills. Silverfish took a bunch of stills, also. There's a race report and two big galleries on the 'fish if you want to read about Maysey's Monster course.

The continuing series of La Costa Boys Racing-format clinic/open jams went off great this past weekend! We figure between 30-40 (people kept arriving!) skaters came out, to receive stips and stoke from Lynn Kramer, Clay Westling, JJ Corning, Mike Maysey & Richy Carrasco. We had skaters that only rod...

Erik Basil

Thanks to Lynn Kramer, Clay Westling, Art Pryde, Malakai Kingston, Richy Carrasco and a few others, the Pump Station hill has been "de-spotted". We've got rain coming tonight, and fully expect that the hill will look "unmarked" after the washing it will get.

Erik Basil

Greg, next time you come out, I'll give you a dollar for some photos or to instruct me how to shoot better ones. Business Trip, baby!! After than, you should probably buy a Porsche and get one of them door magnets for it...

I'll post this in a few places tonight, but we have a potential problem at Pump Station. I spoke with the Pump Station's supervisor tonight, who stopped me on his way out tonight while I was hanging late to return some found keys to a Downhill Diva. He complimented us skaters on keeping the place cl...

More info, here! It looks like a lot of skaters are going to converge on Texas!
