Bad News
Wes, I've been itching to ride those ramps again since the last run I took WHILE they were being dismantled last year.
Unfortunately, I have some bad "news". A contact with Red Bull emailed me ...
No plans for Urban Waves 2003 or 2004 right now. Red Bull put most of their money into Flugtag this year, the human powered flight machine competitions. I know that some of the ramps were donated to a skatepark but don't have any details. Believe me, if I had my way I'd be on the road with those ramps 24/7!
I still have all the competitors emails and will send out a note when I hear something.
AAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGHH!!!!!!

Damm. I miss riding those Red Bull banks in Brooklyn. I was hoping Red Bull would come through again, but I haven’t heard anything newer than the “RED BULL URBAN WAVES 2003 NEWS AND INFO COMING SOON!” statement on the event’s website. This event seemed very appropriate for the cold, occationally winterlike weather, since traction doesn't play a major roll.

Dan, another Urban Waves race is being planned, but it might not be in the same geographical area. All I know is that they want us to <a target=_blank href="http://www.redbullurbanwaves.com">“stay tuned”</a>. It would be great if they had it in NYC again.
Red Bull is my favorite energy drink.
Etienne, I’m sorry for missing your question. I was not sure what you meant. If your message was asking how I put the kicktail on the board - I made a ‘wedge-tail’ by gluing a piece of door molding to the top of the deck, at the end of it.

Here's a <a target=_blank href="http://www.users.cloud9.net/~wbtway/wese.MPG ">video</a> of me riding the course.Marcus Seyffarth wrote:That's sick! please post some more pics of the course! Must have been fun as hell riding it, or?
The banks were the best built skate structures that I've ever been on. The surface is Skatelite 3000 (I think) and is the vanguard of grippyness & speed.
After the race was over, we got as much time as we wanted to free ride the banks.
Thanks, Noah and Tway, for providing this vid and the pics.
