Downhill Skateboard Speed Record
On 10/8/2007 Kludy wrote in from United States  (68.8.nnn.nnn)

FOR THE RECORD I WORE THE GPS ONE TIME AND IT READ 63MPH.
I FEEL SO BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO RIDE MY SKATEBOARD THAT FAST.
ITS FUNNY, PEOPLE WHERE AT THE BOTTOM FREAKING ON US AND I WAS THINKING THAT I HAD TO BE 80MPH EASY AND I ASK A MAN TO READ WHAT IT SAID. I WAS A LITTLE LET DOWN AND THE MAN WAS VERY BLOWN AWAY LOOKING AT WHAT i DID IT ON !
sTAND-UP RULES !
THAT WAS MY 3RD RUN, WE DID IT 9 TIMES !

Rick Kludy ON Speed, Hah!!!!!!!
On 10/7/2007 Kludy wrote in from United States  (68.8.nnn.nnn)

I just got home and what a great insane,fun , no slpeed weekend !
To weather was insane, perfect, the young Bucks ,insanely talented as well as fast ! When we got there and they took me for a drive down the hill 1st I was freaking. It was scary !When I got on it the road was so insane smooth that you could take real big speed and ever feel like you where on a skateboard. That magic carpet ride in the movies was there on that hill, insane ! Then put a little tail wind and it was more insane !
I think it was just what the doc ordered, (Doc Go Fast) That Is !
As I get to the airport the weather started changing and it started raining alittle and why the time My plane took off it was gray and getting cool .
WHAT A INSANE WEEKEND !
HOW FAST DID I GO !
As far as clocking me I would not do it, as far as how fast I whent.
The last run I was flying !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

one measly mile per hour faster
On 10/7/2007 herbn wrote in from United States  (64.12.nnn.nnn)

is 5280 feet an hour 88 feet a minute, on a one mile hill where you average 40 mph it will take you about 1 and a half minutes to descend so if your aerodynamics increase your average speed by 1 measly mile per hour that's 132 feet ahead at the bottom. I had very much physical proof of this today, that gap is about the difference between civilian wardrobe with a plain fullface helmet and a racers leather suit and aerohelmet ,races are won by a lot less, now i want to gear up.

Drinking beers and giddy with laughter after going faster than ever before. Aero board, Speed suit, I'm so fast...then Rick passed me at 70+...very uncool. I'm mean all the time I spent trying to look fast and he ruins it. What a day.

Hey Brian and Rob, you should take him to the boulder hill. Actually, only Brian has been there. It's intense. If you're looking for something a little technical, it's the place to go.

Looks like a 60% chance of rain on Saturday and 30% on Sunday. It's been beautiful for weeks and now it changes! So maybe we can beat the drops early Sat or wait til it dry's Sun. I'm a little bummed today but will keep an eye on the Doppler and let you know as it changes. See you Friday.

Going Fast
On 9/30/2007 Kludy wrote in from United States  (68.8.nnn.nnn)

Finished my Roofing side job yesterday after working 7 days for 5 weeks got to ride today. Whent to Deerhorn, not smooth and did great , not afraid any more. Liitle tail wind and I was alone, again ! Fast as hell and made it to the Bottom, Ha. Whent to my favorit road after that and it felt slow to me. The cars coming home where going soooooooooo slow to me ! Leave for Denver Friday and feel I am ready for it .
You would think after 9 years I would have found someone my age to ride the hills whit. The Kids are not into my fast hills, dont know why !
So happy that all my ducks are in a row to go to Brazil for a great Vaction.
Just want to ride good there, make it to the bottom standing on my board every time.
