If I remember correctly a helipop is what would now be called a backside 180 nollie. I know I have the Rodney Mullen trick tip in an old Thrasher that I could scan if you'd like to see it. Probably have to wait until next week sometime.

2002 World Longboard Slalom Championships

Patio: the "Freestyle" event is open to all ages and sexes and you will have 2 minutes to do whatever your sk8n heart desires. You will only have the road, your skate(s) and your imagination to show your stuff. There will be no ramps, etc to aid you. You can do more of a "slopestyle" run like Brad did at La Costa, or you can be a Rodney Mullen, or a Russ Howell/Stacy Peralta-it's up to you. Whether you win or not, this will be your chance to "show your soul" and have a little fun at it. All I know is that there will many different looking routines and expressions-just like in surfing we have the "expression session" to showcase talents and emotions that you don't always get to express in tight, strict and structured events. Whatever, come skate!! Tasos

Folly Beach is "slopestyle".
is this the same as freestyle?
I saw the gravity viddy of Brad Edwards slopestyle, and it was more carvey flow rather than "tricks".
all I've done before is "streetstyle" with launch ramps, curbs, etc...
I get more confused by the minute...

I am a die hard longboarder,I took my friend (who is a shorty rider)on this huge hill with a lot of gravel
on the turns.He rode his shorty ,hella speed wobble.
To make a long story short he rode it out.
Renewed respect for the other sport ,you guys rock.
I can only see good things in the future.
Even though I can't ride a board so small,the love is still there.

other events at Folly Beach

(205.188.nnn.nnn)
as our website reads, all the extra (and cool) events are all "longboard" events. The deck size must be a minumum of 36". You may use multiple decks though, even an extra one that is shorter, as long as it does not become your main board during your 2 minute routine. the deck heighth of the board for the "high jump" event will have a maximum heighth that has not been determined yet. obviousily we don't want anyone showing up with 10" riser pads,etc.
on a another note, i was skating by a gas station yesterday when an older pretty heavy mechanic comes out and says he used to skate. he goes on to tell me that he was an east coast champion once. he has not touched a board for over 20 years. in the next few minutes, he's skating like a baby and doing handstands all over the parking lot. everyone that knows him keeps running out and laughing out loud because they can not believe their eyes! they are so shocked to see their mechanic skating like a little grom on Christmas day. He (goes by Bamberg) has asked me to get him in shape and he is GOING TO COMPETE! hurray for him-it was good to get another skater back where he belongs. tasos

in the Folly Beach contest(s)...
*high jump...no rules? any board size?
*freestyle/slopestyle/whatever...what size board, 36"? 42"?
is this just riding on flat ground? no ramps, curbs, whatever? can you use multiple boards in your routine? it'd be cool if they had start ramps in the slalom that we could use in the slopestyle...heh heh
*360s...36"? 42"?
thanks.

hello all...
I've realized that I have been ignoring the basics of skating...FREESTYLE!
I didn't know that I'd miss the days of the neighborhood kids in the street doing 360s, kickflips, high jumps and nose wheelies...
but these are my roots. the basis of all skating.
I want to enter the high jump contest at S.C. I didn't realize that there was all this strategy involved(tall wheels and boards, etc...).
anyway, today I'll go hang out with the street sk8 kids and practice my oldschool freestyle...and maybe boneless up onto the ledges that they ollie to.

AJ Kohn,
Please send me more information about your upcoming Freestyle contests and demo events. I'd like to come out and skate with you guys again. I'm sure Kevin can be convinced as well.
Buddy,
The clear upper bushings that we have been using for the past year have worked very well on our Reverse Freestyle products. I highly recommend that you continue manufacturing them.
Keep on 'STYLIN all!

Demo opprotunities in Eastern Canada:
These are the dates left on the KC Prodjects Tours of Eastern Canada, Kosta the head promoter asked me to see if anyone is interested in skateing at some of these events to promote Freestyle in Eastern Canada. THey said that to contact them about when you can come up and accomodations they would help those interested out with that. There are alot of dates left and I think this would be a good way to spread Freestyle to our Northern Neighbors who knows maybe we could get Kevin Harris out of the office for a weekend. Any questions email me at the address above. Thanks. A.J.Kohn United Skateboard Association
