Just wanted to put the word out that we're having a freestyle demo at our slalom race here in Athens, Georgia on September 11th.
Alan Benson out of Atlanta is putting it together, just received word that Frank Lee, Sam Hood and John Leathers will be skating.
Next year we hope to hold a bona fide freestyle contest.

Ok,
This is what I want to see at the Casper! Check this out, I know your having a 360 contest. But how about a spin off kinda like a 60's dance contest (you spin until you drop). Check this out! Someone blows a whistle, everybody starts spinning at the same time. Oh my God can't you just see it!!! Ready set go, The announcer is pumped, Here we have in the middle the 360 champ Richy Carrasco,next to him we have Russ Howell by the way,he just turned 25 for the 2nd time. Over there in the corner is the one and only Primo, Oh look over there it's "Gary H" right next to him its that crazy Pope Dude.. look I see YoYo, Is that Chris Chaput selling wheel's as he is spinning, You know what I like about this you don't even have to count 360's. All ya do is spin until you drop out,then cheer on your buddies, You do this 3 times and then you have the new Spinning Big Jack! Do you remember when you were kids taking your sisters jacks! (unless you were a Carrasco they had 39 boys or more & 1 girl? I think) You would just throw your jacks and let them spin until they hit something on just died out.. Peace Out...

Great Jam in SD last weekend! We skated on a end of a pier that if you lost your board it could go overboard! Chinaman,Primo,Jester,Clarke,Kludy killed it along with about 20 or so BMX riders. It seems like a good mix with the cylcle guys,we are in the same family as far as trick riding! Thanks again Robin for setting this jam up and supporting the scene along with swag and food! Highlight of the jam for me was Kludy almost riding off the pier doing a elbow stand! Great recovery! See you at the next one!!!!!!

Jumping on the band wagon on this one since our BMX friend Robin Washington stepped up and announced this combo jam. We're not hosting this event but expect to see some of the SK8KINGS team show up in sunny San Diego.
Been looking for a SD venue for awhile -- hope this works out to be a good one! Cool Robin!
Who else is going?

Here is something that Jaari wrote this morning:
Hi, everyone!
I don´t know where to start, but I can definitely say that I loved the event. It was great to meet other freestylers and chance skating with them. The weather was not so good, there was couple rain showers during the contest, but that doesn´t seem to matter and someones was even compete on a small plant of an dry street under the tree about five or six metres wide on each side.
There was 24 competitors in the contest. Starsky was like a showman what I mean he was like wearing as a soldier in his firs run and second run he was like wearing a kind of pinky bunny. Günter was doing tricks consistent in his runs as always. Ulli was doing spacewalks so smoothly. Yoyo was doing really fast skating and of course his signature trick Yoyo plant and different versions of that. Gabor Mischlich was doing incredible tricks like carousel and 50/50 sidewinder transfer and whatever. Sebastian Heupel, yeah it was his first contest, I think and still he was doing relly well and came to fourth place, I suppose. New young talents were showing there too like Maxe and one guy, I don´t remember the name, but from Hamburg and only 14 years old. Paul Bakker made to the contest, but he was doing his first run and couldn´t skate the second run, because of the back problems.
Now I´m still in Germany and you won´t guess where? You see I´m in Yoyo´s work office right now and todays evening I will take a flight back to home.
I think we´ll get some footage on the net later and results I think will find on GFSA website later so someone could post them here.
Oh and I want to say like this public that I want to thank you Ulli and Yoyo for their supports and hospitality. It was really nice to meet again and discussing about skateboarding and everything, I really appreciate it, now what I mean this is something I´ve been waiting for and now it´s really happening. Thanks for every people I met in the contest. Thanks for beeing there and yeah, I think freestyle is really coming popular and much more people are interesting of freestyling, which is nice, because like this contest it will give more promotion that what the freestyle is all about.
Untill next time, Jari
YOYO

Rengstorff Jam today was Hot...although a slow start since most everyone was late we had 15+ skaters at one point. Bob Staton made the drive up from LA with three guys that were real good. OJ, HC and Ravitch skated too. "Orange" Julius and I skated from 9:30 until 3PM....needless to say I'm beat tired.
Robert should have some nice photos (if you ever post the photos of me on the scooter or doing two board tricks I'm going to have to quit skateboarding). Highlights...too many but one will stick in my mind...OJ landing his first 50/50.
later,
Gary
