i go to school at FSU, and there are some nice hills on campus to just cruise on. last night i was out there doing my thing, and i got stopped by the cops twice. They told me that i couldn't skate on the road, that i would get hit by car. It was 2::30 in the morning, and there were no cars. I went out that late to get away from cars. It just really pisses me off that the cops tell me everywhere i can't ride, but then there's no where i can ride. Oh yeah, he told me to ride on the sidewalk...yeah right, that might happen. Anyways, i was just wondering if anyone knew of any places in or near tally (FSU) that are good for riding or if anyone had any ideas on what to do about the cops. thanks for reading, and ride with soul.

We`re longboard happy, we live in Brewter on Cape Cod, Mass.
There aren`t any very gnarly hills, but we ride what we can.
We find that sitting down on our longboards is pretty cool.
But standing up is still THE bomb. You get a little wobble
when you get going fast but you can ride it out(wobble sucks)
If anyone knows of any spamtastic places to go around here
please contact me.

I have just purchased a new FLEXDEX it is the most insane longboard in the word. I am 14 years old and live in adelaide in australia and it really sucks because there's no hills whatsoever. So if you have big hills eat your doodles noodles pickles and stoodle you beatrix pottery beatrigery

WHITE LINE FEVER
thoughts on rolling love
It's best when you can hear your own heartbeat, when you
can feel the wind cooling the sweat on your scalp, the small
of your back, when your bare feet become part of the hiss
and clackety-clak of a ragged urethane adhesion, when your
world is running in greased grooves.
Decisions, decisions...driveway bottom turning banking,
trimmed hedge tubes, long arcing perfect cutbacks, and every
one of them with the dream of an offshore wind pelting your
back with salt spray, a vertical section standing and
muscling before you, the perfect hump of a round blue
shoulder just waiting for the bite of your outside rail.
Push, push...knees torquing, ankles communicating, hands
skimming the urban earth, the hot, burning touch of the
asphalt the only reminder, the only sense that can bring
you back from the sea in your head.
Turn, turn... your eyes three moves ahead, the whole world
racing, your chest swelled to the speed of sound.
A pebble, a twig, a wheel ground into the deck...you crash
and burn, you tuck and roll, you stand...and you drown.
Check the scrapes, an elbow, a knee, a knuckle...blood. You
wipe it quickly, feeling the sting, the bite. You shake it
out, kick the board back onto It's wheels and you are alive
again...a song in your head, the ocean in your viens.
Push, push...coast, crouch, leaning into the speed that
presses into your ears, you are alone again with the surf and
your thoughts, your imagination and your dreams.
Since the days of a sister's rollerskate bent-nailed to
the bottom of a two-by-four, it's been ours, this world.
It's been yours. It's worth it. It's worthy. Our souls on
cement.-Matt George
Wanting to give credit where credit is due...

Has any one ridden the Cosmic RiderII by Sector9? I was
thinking about getting a new ride, and the CRII caught my
eye. I was wondering how it would ride compared to
either the Cruiser by sector9, or a Gravity board...
one more thing, any of you guys interested in testing some
new longboard skate co, email this guy: funtoolz@aol.com
we've been communicating back and forth about his new deck
idea. Oh well if you have an opinion about any of this drop
me a line or contact me at frankenpak@hotmail.com, or
frankenpak@aol.com

I live in Sanitago, Chile (S. America: for you freaks
who failed geography at school) and longboards are almost
unheard of down here, so I built my own. I need some advice
on what type, size, name of wheel should I be using on semi-bad
quality streets. ( hard, soft, 65 mm 70 mm ?????)

There's a new webzine online covering skate, snow and surf.
The first issue of BoardPark features a longboard section
aimed at letting people know what they're all about. We also
review the new Sector 9 video. Point your browsers to
www.boardpark.com and check the Features links on the home
page.

I am a longboarder and retired roadluge racer living in the Lake Tahoe area. I am trying to publish a longboarding/roadluge/all-terrain boarding mag. I had a partner who was (allegedly) doing the graphics/art direction for the project. He has dumped on me and I am looking for a qualified graphic/layout artist with the computer goods to get the job done right. I would prefer someone involved in the scenes that the mag will cover. If you are that person, please e-mail me a.s.a.p. Thanks, and remember: Tune up, Turn on, Drop in! ...that little line is C 1997 speed&soul.

ROLLIN' the Sector 9 video
Just seen it a few times now so heres my opinion for what it is worth :
Ever had to deal with dickheads saying "what do you use them long skateboards for" or new schoolers saying they are for sad old farts etc that you can't do any real tricks on them. Well the answer is have a copy of Rollin ' around to shove in their faces !
My only complaint is that it aint long enough (3o mins of bliss is not enough) It has every conceivable terrain skated during the video. The music is good and there are thankfully no pseudo "funny" bits (well not a great deal). Also its good to see the contrast betwen lingboarding and surfing on the screen. there is one shot of joel Tudor hanging ten on a perfect wave with a boarder hanging ten down the road superimposed on top.The video quality is good. As for the skating there is something for everyone from extreme down hill speed and carving to technical street stuff. Also included is some footage from real old skate films which are good if you haven't seen them before. All in all I can think of no way better to spend$20. It did what all good skate vids should made me go out and skate !

In the photo section of this site Scott Ferrel is riding a board made by Ward Coffee. I went to Encinal High school in Alameda with a skater/surfer/aqua jock named Ward Coffee. This was in the mid 70's Ward are you the same dude? If so leave me a note here and let me know. I'll get in touch. I'm doing the downhill skate thing too and diggin' it, it's good to be on a board again after a long absence. Nor cal looks like the happening place for downhill skate, wish I was there! Skate safe, Tannis

Is there anyone out there interest in trying to get an "old
school" concrete skatepark built in San Diego. Now that AB
1296 has passed. Seems like the city of San Diego could do
something better with our tax dollars than what it is doing,
name build a skatepark. If your interested, drop me a line.

I am doing some research for a magazine. I am wondering if there are any high school skateboarding teams. If you know of one please pass along the info. I'm also interested in organizations for female skateboarders. I appreciate any and all help.

It's great that in France your laws aren't as strict.
I'm taking French in school. Hopefully sometime I can
go there and skate with you--no cops to get mad!

Here in France, we have (at this time) few or no problems riding in the streets
when there is no one on it.
I saw a few cops in car but they didn't arrest me.
Hope the stupid laws of USA and Australia won't reach us!
Take care

I need a little help. My memory reduced brain saw an ad in a catalog (i think) and it was for a board that I now wanna get. It was longer than a regular skateboard but had trucks on the end so the wheel were half over the board. Like this 0----0 It also had footstraps. If you know what type of board this is or where i can get one email me.

I too agree that the persecution must stop. Skateboarding
isn't hurting anyone. My brother skateboarded back in the
80's and never had any problems. It's my personal belief
that half of our problems come from our stereotype. We must
work to change it. Please e-mail me for more information
regarding a newspaper article I am writing. I would love
to here your opinions and stories.
