WOW! I'm STOKED to have been a part of the jam today, at Edison Park. Much thanks to the Carrasco family, as always for making everyone feel welcome and providing a positive vibe today. Maria & Richie, thanks for my freestyle wheels... you both rock!
Was great to see such a huge turn-out, too. Having the old tunes on the sound system was a welcome feature, too. Props to Primo for that. Everyone showed off some killer talent today. So many good skaters in attendance. Looking very forward to the next event. What a great way to end a weekend with stellar weather.
SK8/SURF 4 LIFE!

2005 WFSA IF Board Elections

On 1/13/2005 Bob Staton

Greetings!
It is election time, Jan.15th to the 20th.
I would like all of you to "run" for a seat on the WFSA IF Board of
Directors. The only By-Laws requirement is that you be at least 18 years
old.
Most of you are already active in the freestyle movement and it is your
input on major issues that is valued. The board members are required to meet
once a year but we tend to have one ongoing open and rambling meeting on the f-forum
WFSA board room.
It is requested that Board members do one WFSA sanctioned
activity per year, that could be a contest, a jam, a demo, a published
story, a clinic etc.
The general intent of the WFSA IF is to have an offical international
council to discuss and plan the WC and other events and contests, to create
a fundraising focus and become economically strong to support and assist various
programs, become the governing body of flatland freestyle skateboarding in
the eyes of the IOC. and develop grass roots to Pro level activities worldwide.
The WFSA sanctioned WC will be produced by the fine freestylers of Brazil
and will be held in Sao Paulo on October 2nd & 3rd. Let's work together on
this project and make it a really great show and fun for all.
The WFSA has a business manager, Angela, who will be assisting the board
with fundraising concepts this year.
I f you are interested in being on the WFSA IF board, please respond asap.
Thank you,
Bob Staton
Secretary WFSA IF

Hey Tom T --
Ballet -- NO
Technical -- YES
Fun -- YES
All the moves you mention are freestyle mainstays. There are different takes on where freestyle is today but as far as we're concerned it's all about the skills. Check out the video gallery on SK8KINGS.COM to see some good examples of freestyle skating in TODAY's context. Primo, Diane, Richy, John -- all throwing down some moves for the video cam. DVD by Off The Rails includes some more killer freestyle from events all over the world (see also at SK8KINGS.COM) and other DVD's coming very soon.
We're planning a SK8 Jam in Huntington Beach Jan 30 if you are in the So Cal area -- you are more than welcome to join us and check out the scene for yourself.
Cheers and Keep on Spinnin -- Happy New Year!

new guy here wondering about the scope of freestyle...nose wheelies? fingerflips? handstands? Is this discipline akin to ballet or figure skating ( no slur intended )in its approach or does it include "street" style skating as well? What's a good video to get the picture?
