If anyone is interested, Webmaster Adam has generously posted my new freestyle video, "Four Wheels Down," on the NCDSA Links page. (Actually, it's a highly-compressed 5MB QuickTime version of the original 900MB all-digital video.)
I made the 4-minute video in July. In a freeform format, it showcases the expression-oriented, pure-gliding approach to flatland freestyle that I began developing in the 1980s.
Camera and editing are by noted skateboard documentarian Robert Kittilä, who helped create the legendary 1980s series of documentaries by the Powell-Peralta Corporation.
All comments and feedback are welcome. If you enjoy the film, please feel free to pass it along to anyone you like. I also have high-definition VHS copies available.
Cheers,
Dan

Intent of event
In 2001, the United Skateboard Association invited the top amateur skateboard series from the United States and Canada to participate in the Beast of The East Championship 4. This was the first time in the history of skateboarding that amateur series united in a multi-series championship.
During the same historic championship weekend, the United Skateboard Association also invited the World Freestyle Association to host a Pro/AM freestyle championship. This union was a great success, attracting freestyle competitors from throughout the United States and Europe.
For 2002, the United Skateboard Association is taking this common championship to the next level. Top amateur skaters from several contest series throughout the world will be invited to descend upon Houston, TX for the first annual STAMPEDE invitational.
The United Skateboard Association will also include the World Freestyle Association to host another world championship freestyle event. Event coordinator A.J. Kohn akohn@hotmail.com

The October 27th Frostburg contest has been canceled and will be replaced by an event at Rhomney in July.
I would like to hear from freestylers in the Santa Barbara, Ventura, LA and Orange County areas for help in developing a few small flatland events.

The US National Flatland Freestyle Championship will be held in Frostburg MD. on Sunday October 27th, at the FCCI facility.
Registration begins at 9:30 am followed by practice sessions and then the contest starts at noon.
Entry fee is $27.00
Do to the fact that the 2002 World Flatland Freestyle Championship will be held in Houston TX. in December, most, if not all, of the top pros and ams will not will not attend the US Nationals...just not economical for the under funded top skaters to make it to both. We did not plan to have them so close together but...things got changed around for the World Championship Date.
Now this leaves things at the top wide open for some of you re-entering freestylers to snag a title and make your grand re-entrance into the new era of freestyle.
There is decent interest in the US Nationals from the groms so I'm sure we will have at least the same number of entrants as the German and Swedish Opens...just not the experience levels.
There will be a number of Divisions to meet the interests of the ams and groms, to go along with the top divisions.
Divisions:
Pro Open
Am Advanced- no age group
Am 12 and under
Am 13 through 16
Am 17 and over
Masters 35 and Over
Grandmasters 50 and over
Probably a 360 OPen and a Best Trick Open contest also...depends on the number of entrants and time available.
I'm not sure yet what the prizes are.
FCCI ( Freestyle Country Clubs Inc.) has a link on the WWW.reversefreestyle.com/f site if you need directions.

Wow...what a blast from the past! Yeah, that's me, Terry.
Tell Candioti and Dave that St.John says "Hello!" btw - I never made it up to the NYC contests, but skated with them in Ocean City, MD when they made it down there.

Buddur,
Is your name Tom St. John? I'll have to dig out my old Thrashers to see who got sixth in that contest. I grew up in Rhode Island and occassionally skated with Dave Rich and Henry Candioti. I remember Dave telling me about a guy named Tom St. John who used to compete with him at the old Brooklyn Bridge contests.

Gunter is still kicking the board around, eh? Sweet!!!
I saw him (actually competed against him...I got 6th and I know he did better than me) in an Oceanside, CA contest back in '86 and that dood impressed the heck out of me.
Any videos going to come out of the contest?

What wheels are current riders using for freestyle I just set up my YO YO with Indy's and OLD powell bones freestyle (57mm?) wheels. I want a wheel that is closer to the shape of the old wheels I have and one that won't allow for the axle to stick out and get banged around on rail tricks. Anyone have any ideas please post.

Hi Stan,
I have a ton of the new Indy 101s in new or barely used condition. The new Indy 101s come with both the old and new school hole patterns. (To tell you the truch, the axle length is a hair longer on the new ones for some reason too so you are able to actually get a few washers in there and still get the axle nut on).
I stocked up on them last year but have since switched to Tracker Fulltracks. Let me know if you're interested in them.
Terry
