Thanks Mark, you're a load of help. I can't seem to find any mention of the race and I was trying to figure out when it was....
It don't matter now though. Just make sure you get BLR, Racer X and the rest of the crew back safely for the Indian School Race.

I agree with Palmer. Skateboarding is skatboarding no matter what the discipline.
Before we held our DHB Jam this past weekend I stopped the young street skaters around town and invited them to come out, try slalom (we had a hybrid, a tight, and a Super G all set up with in view of each other), try some longboard carving/downhilling. Many of our crew brought our entire quiver of boards and shared them with many of the people that came out including several of the street skaters I had invited. With encouragement they all quickly became stoked about one form or another. One of our crew that skates street brought a portable rail and set up it so that these "kids" could also show their stuff. Some of them gravitated toward slalom, others to the longboards. Either way we exposed them to our side of the sport while also "honoring" theirs. Of course we "discouraged" with the threat of bodily harm any of them from kick flipping our foam cores but otherwise it was just full on skating stoke.
IMHO (I'm a nobody so it is very humble) it's time to walk away from the old school/new school battle and just focus on the sport as a whole. Dudes like Hackett, Olson, Peters, Chicken etc. just plain rip anything they ride! Jason Mitchell rips concrete, wood, asphalt, and water! My point is the same as Palmer's...It's skating Bro! Fuel the Stoke! Which ever direction you ride, flip, wiggle, hop, ollie, grind, jump, slide, etc etc etc!
Hackett and Olson..Dudes, this forum rocks! Good luck in Paris! Tear the place down!

There's definitely kids around that "get it". If you don't flow, you don't go. I was up at skate school on Saturday, and those kids get it, a lot! It is so cool to session with little kids who just totally have that pure juice. Totally fun. Me and some kid were doing backside airs, just pushing each other. It was so cool.
By the way, Is there anything funnier than seeing some 12 year old walking down the sidewalk CARRYING his skate?

NEW SCHOOLERS, OLD SCHOOLERS ITS ALL ABOUT THE LOVE OF STANDING ON THAT PIECE OF WOOD WITH WHEELS. I ENJOY A 360 FLIP AS MUCH AS SMITH GRIND. ALOT OF THESE KIDS CANT DRIVE YET AND DO NOT HAVE ANYONE TO TAKE THEM ANYWHERE. I WOULD RATHER HAVE THEM DOING KICKFLIPS IN THIER DRIVEWAY THEN NOT SKATING AT ALL. AS YOU GET OLDER ITS EAISER TO GET OUT THERE AND FIND NEW STUFF TO SKATE.

Hi Herbn,
I enjoy your posts here on NCDSA.
I think a lot of the debasement of the "kickflippers" comes from the fact that most of them have no idea how to actually RIDE a skateboard. I mean, they try for hours to do an ollie or some other trick in a 6 by 6 foot space in front of their house.
To be sure, this does not apply to all "New Schoolers", but to us older skaters there is an appreciation of just RIDING a board, TURNING a board, going FAST on the board.
Without a doubt, there are young riders who "get it" but many do not.

Hey Herbn,
Thanks for the rant. Did you actually HAVE
a question?
Sounds to me like if you did; it would be:
"Hey Olson, hey Hackett- Who was the first guy
to ever try the loop?
Answer: That would be The Master of Disaster - Duane Peters.
Duane Peters, first loop make with the bag - 1978.

i bolted a new school board together yesterday,not really the first time, but this was definitely the smallest board i've had in at least 10 years,but it doesn't feel that alien to me,i'm gonna brush up on riding/flipping/spinning little boards.This goes out to anybody that's bashed the current state of skating, the "popsickle stick" ,the "style less little kids" that "can't carve but try kickflips all day".I got news,the popsickle stick works, the ollie works, skills of riders has increased,,tremendously. The purist most undeniable example of this is looping the fullpipe,hats off to mr burnquist. It's not like no one thought of doing it,he didn't need to ollie,his bearings were pretty much regular,how much faster were his wheels,not THAT much,he didn't need a dh pipe, an elbow ,acapsule end,or even a long section, just a 12-16 foot section sitting in his backyard. Infact he almost did it at mt baldy,how come; no one, not alva, not adams, not any old schooler even had a pic of an attempt,surely salba was there enough and if he was seriously gonna try it,a photographer would have been there to capture the carnage,twentyfive years of magazines and video coverage not one glimpse of anyone even attempting a loop of a full pipe. Sure not every little kid is bob burnquist, but not every kid in 78 was stacy peralta,i don't know what's worse immitating style when it doesn't come natural or trying kickflips all day. I hope i don't seem to be belittling the accomplishments of the old school, i just like to keep things in the proper prespective, alot of people praise the athletic accomplishment of early skaters too highly, they wern't really athletes,alot of today's skaters are definitely more like athletes,though with many of them it's still sort of a stretch. Oh well i digress just a bit,keep learning,learn to ollie ,learn to catch a kickflip,or whatever,if all you want to do is slalom ,fine, kickflips are unneccessary they may eat into your practice time so don't bother,it's not for everybody,but learning to slalom may cut into someone elses trick learning time and that doesn't make their different goals wrong.

I've never tried Radikals. Like everyone else, I would love to try them! However, I can't afford such purchases. They are worth the money for those who can buy them. Race results prove this.
It's great to make such fine trucks, but what really impresses me about MCCREE is what he does for Slalom. The crew he is taking to Paris will do well. The skaters in our sport will talk glowingly about MCREE for long after he is gone. It won't be any time soon though, he's too young. Mark, we are lucky to have your involvement in Slalom.
Immense thanks,
Cliff Coleman

Hackett--The banners you post are killer. The whole office now has to make the visit to your forum JUST to see what cool-sick-killer picture you will come up with next. Keep up the great work.
Claire wants to see the OlSoN "pink tutu" shot that was posted a few months ago. See if you can find it.
I have been looking at the Trocadaro appartments we will be staying in. All are within 10 minute's walk from the tower. More to come.

Don't worry Dave about no Leather in ABQ. You and I wore the same thing at Indian School last year and I'll be wearing it again this year. Leather will dominate, be sure of that.
Have a killer time in Paris.
