I think uve missed the point of this forum F. If i cared about who rode what make I would be on one of the more popular, commercial sites.. I would like to know who invented the casper because its a rad trick and its part of freestyle history.
P.S..If your here to insult "jocks" and "preps" and "posers", i think ur in the wrong place.

hey f. hed phred, who are you to judge anyone, you don't even know any of these people. this forum was put here to ask questions and fill people in on what's happening in the world of freestyle. so next time, think before you go running your mouth about things and people you know nothing about.

Yeah -- that was me.
I was, indeed, a bit off topic. I just get tired of hearing people criticise Mullen's style.

Bob, great idea regarding the one day of world freestyle unity. You may want to try to schedule a few more throughout the year and give some oppurtunity to others to build on it as well. Wacth it grow as such. See how each event can grow. Have the organisers try to get some media or do their own video and photo's as you suggested. Then on the 1 year BIRTHDAY of the event it can really be done with possibly live broadcast from different locations worldwide, it's pretty easy now a days and with a year to put it in place in would be a little easier.
I will be thinking of all Freestylers while I'm competing in the TLP Slalom series of 2002. So good luck I'll do some Freestyle at the Slalom venue probably along with Chaput and any other Freestylers at the event. Hey Richie C. where you gonna be, that's got to be a tough one for you.
Good luck to all in 2002.

Bobby "casper" Boyden of Oceanside invented the
casper disaster and a few variations. He could also do a double kickflip off the stage at the Oceanside
Bandshell were some truly great contests were held
in the '70's.
My son won his division in 1977 and I placed 2nd in
1979. I still have the flyer for the '77 contest, I can email
a jpeg if interested. Look for the return of the Oceanside contest as the as the ( possibly "Dale Smith") Oceanside Classic with flatland freestyle, slalom and 360 events.

bob l, is that really u having a rant on skateboard.com about mullen's style? If so i think u kind of miss the arguement because if i rememeber right the arguement was about wether or not mullen is so good that its fair to say he is freestyle and forget about all the other great freestyle skaters, ie because he appears in videos such as globes oppinion many ppl dont get that freestyle is done by many great people who also invent tricks. Well that was my side of the arguement at least. May be its me who missed the point....

I still think casper disasters are a sight to be seen.. No news on the invention of the casper tho.. Some thing to be looked up, but where? Some one should write a book like the Concrete Wave but for freestyle... Or are there already such books? If so what titles would you suggest i look for?? Keeping in mind ive never read the concrete wave and a simmilar style book might not be the sort of thing im looking for.lol.... ah well:)

I was a judge at a contest in'78 . Bobby Boyden did a casper disaster, even though it was'nt a full casper it was sure something to see!

I live in hawaii and love to downhill skate. i currently ride a 47" sector nine but have decided to change over to a 37" standard board configuration that i can learn to slide and take cornners with. because of the growing amount of daily traffic here i need to be more versitile. i went to ride down my standard start off hill and found it very difficult to make the transition in boards. of course i'll keep trying untill i figure it out, but i'm always open to new tips. If anyboby wants to pass some my way feel free to email. untill then ALOHA!!!

Jeremy,
Heelies and Frogstands are tricks from the 60s.
1. A Heelie is when the rider stands on the nose backwards and does a Wheelie. ( a backwards standing Nose Wheelie).
2. A Frogstand is a Handstand with your knees resting on your Triceps just above the elbow.

Yes. I just got a dedicated server with 300 gigs of bandwidth a month last week. I'm in the process of getting my file system set up and getting everything transfered over. If all goes well, the site should be up to full strength by the end of the month.

Yeah, you said that in the review. I've never seen any powell wheels.. They dont seem to sell them here, and im not old enough to remember the good ol' days when they were all that was available practiacally... Im only a youngster, got into freestyle after seening, i cant remember the guys name but he invented the seismic trucks, on tv pumping and doing multiple 360s.. Crazy stuff i said to my self, set about learning stuff off bobstricktips.com. Any luck on getting more space? Getting bored of 1+1/2 kickbacks....

The italian wheels are rad. They are about the same dimensions as the old Powell Freestyle wheels. They have a nice core, which seems to make them lighter.
I talked to YOYO about them. He said the Italians are just amazing with plastics and molds, and it shows.

Lexx, I have YOYO's deck and recommend it. I use Powell Peralta Freestyle wheels which work great with 7.5" trucks. The Powell wheels can be bought online (email me if your interested and I'll point you to the website if you can't find them) or you can try the reverse freestyle wheels which I'm sure would work fine.
Take care,
Darin
