86 degrees...third day of classes...kids looking far too ready to hook up and all the girls wearing the exact same faded denim skirt and white top...decide not to wait until the next class starts and sidewalks clear today...start rolling and suddenly all i see is a lineup full of head-bobbing spongers...a few kicks later it's all just one faceless blur and a big smile

Yeah, they shore do, lexx:) I gotta find me a festival, I think... boredom hitting hard, and skating's no fun when it's just you, a flatflatflat town, and 95 degrees (that's 34 C for the brits). Mebbe I'll work on getting that turntable to actualy PLAY. That's always soulful.

Soul is sleeping 10 hours in five days, seeing some awesome bands with 75 thousand other likeminded music fans, meeting new people, then coming home to your board. Festivals rule dont they speedy?

I usually listen to some hardcore, or some punk depending on the type of skating im doing. If im going really smooth i put on some King Django, or that new 311 song amber. Toots and The Maytals are good reggae. My wierdest choice is when I'm slalom skating. I like to listen to drum corps music. I like to keep the beat when i am skating the cones. Sometimes Ill just make loud DAT DAT DAT DAT in the beat im running the cones. Pretty funny to hear.

Soultunes: Squarepusher, Tommy Guerrero with or without Gadget, Jet Black Crayon, Greyboy, Mouse on Mars, Phoenecia, Dan the Automator and Lovage, Aphex Twin, and the newer Daft Punk all get put onto my mix tapes lately. For you rockers, Jet Black Crayon is a four piece that knows how to throw down some jams and then bring it back down to jazzy ambient stuff. Downloading more stuff every day.... WinMX anyone? Latest track downloaded? "Pretty Little Ditty" by RHCP. I got tired of hearing the sample in that Crazy Town song, and needed the original instrumental piece of art.

Definetly soul in surf/skate chicks,,

in my head phones, all kinds of classic rock, some times reggae if its right, and the aqua velvets "Guitar Noir" album flows well with my hissing wheels.


Go skate..

Total soul tunes: Jefferson Airplane "White Rabbit", "Tiny Dancer" (no matter who), the soundtrack from Run Lola Run, and, of course, the hiss of Tarmac on Wheels. (now wouldn't THAT be a cool band name? Tarmac On Wheels?)

mirzl,
The shweetest tune for that soul cruise has got to be the final track on the latest Incubus CD...Aqueous Transmission. You gotta love the japanese flute in it along with about 3 minutes of just crickets at the end.

Here`s the track...

Soul is catching rides on the luggage racks of bikes. One some level, they're way better than cars ever get.

Hey Scabs,

Were those the same two chicks that were ripping in the heavy pool session on Saturday night too? I remember a lot of snaking going on but one time both chicks rolled in at the same time and the crowd went berserk. You'd a thought it was a Jello-rasslin' contest the way dudes were hootin' and hollerin'.

Watching chicks skate pools or surf is definitely soulful...

Back before soul came back (I question if it ever left) there were posts regarding women skaters. I had to share a recent experiance to show where things have progressed...

There was a hot and heavy vert session going on sat night at the King of Kona contest. There were about 20 guys and 2 gals skating. One chick was definately hot pulling both backside and frontside airs and doing inverts. The other gal wasn`t so bad either (remember they were dropping in on a 18` high vert ramp) and she was having trouble busting a frontside air. Everytime she tried and bailed, the guys just urged her to try again. No mashimo BS here. Well, she finally busted one off about 3` high out and landed it. Man, all the doods were hooting and hollering for her. Pure flow. Pure soul.

OK, so then after a while the other gal busts a front side ait over the channel. That`s about 8` across. She was probably 6` high out. And again the crowd was screaming! It only egged the guys on and both guys and gals were just doing an incredible sesh!

I was on the ground watching this with Sharon Sidlo and she commented.."I love skate chicks". With my new respect for them, I grinned back and said.."I do too".

Last night was the reason for the most peaceful,epic,and demanding run I've taken in some time:Full Moon,fresh tar on a twisty,steep,country two-lane,no cars,and my Turner with old pre-80's wheels.The shadows from the trees,along with the moon ducking behind a thin veil of clouds occasionally made for turns that took total faith to complete.Miss one,and you're going TOO fast.Sonar,or hearing,was key in finding the limits of traction.The crown in the road often was the only real clue in timing the turns.Where the trees gave way,and let the moonlight glow,the road just shimmered.It's an eerie glow,but lacking any distinct color.The grass alongside the road glistened with dew,glowing an odd frosty-green.Fresh wheel marks could be seen,leaving a twisted trail behind to mark my path downhill.I made it back to my car,pulled off in a farmer's field,and could hear the deer nearby huff warnings back and forth.As I started the car,I looked back up the road,thinking that this is about as surreal as it gets. I gotta say I Love Vermont!
