I think you mentioned that you were working in THE ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS, as a writer, I think. -wasn't it the Miami Vice TV show ? I hope yer doin' good. Here's a photo of me coming down from a 'FAKIE' - on a ramp @ a Santana Skateboard Team Demo at JC Penny - in the South Bay Area - I think it was Manhattan Beach. You are in this photo - helping to hold the ramp steady. Remember we were the Captains of that team ? Fellow team member Eric Grof made me this card - I think he was 16 years old back then..... Do you remember this demo? This was at the JC Penny Dept. Store @ the Laguna Hills Mall. I'm doing a double-board handstand here. Dang, .....I have some photo's of you, me, and Jamie Hart @ The 1977 Catalina Classic - Downhill Event.... I'll post them when I can find them.

Today I put in another 20 miler as I did yesterday, last friday and wednesday. I'm so thrilled other are catching on. The more and more people see this form of sidewalk surfing, the more and more it becomes that nice stroll in the park while riding a cement wave. Thursdays and Satudays will be posted as skogging meets this upcoming spring. Watch both boards for more info. The meeting areas will either be at Kanes or www.airbrushbill.com . Looking for some real hotskoggers to come out and party the skog on the boardwalks. www.skogging.com will be getting a face lift soon. cheers mates, RIDE YOUR BOARD! cYa     Rate post 266840 !

And with that kind of nuts, you can't help but be riding with lady luck. I truly love high speeds and twisty turns.. and yes, my bike aint as safe as my van, but I believe I can usually arrive 30 minutes earlier when 1 hour delays occur. Like I said, last year total mileage was 24k and 5 sets of tires. Just need people to share the road more. It's not a death wish but of all the cool ways to meet the creator, a crotch rocket to the next plane will do! I bet you're still asleep :) cheers Cat cYa     Rate post 265207 !

I will attempt to get one today. I use a couple of different methods to run with it. 1) The normal skog step but very fast 2) The extremely difficult and treacherous "hop" step at high speeds. It is a transition step hop from side to side. My kid picked up quickly and there's the guy from www.doogood.org that doesnt have it down but has sacrificed major skin attempting to pull it off. Ari G. :D If you ever pogo-sticked up and down steps, it requires similar balance. Off to my Saturday skog in PB. cYa     Rate post 264612 !

I usually feel like I'm going to lose my board when I do that, or at least land on the wrong spot and lose control. It will be a while before I get that dialed in. Until then I prefer a regular stance mongo push followed by a switch stance regular push. Especially when I'm hauling ass in the middle of the road before I have to jump off and get out the way of the traffic. Skogging gets a little more intense when you run out of sidewalk. But right now it's about 0 degrees farenheit with snow on the ground, so I won't be skogging for a while. Plus I'm waiting for my replacement bushings to come in the mail from the folks at Original.     Rate post 264589 !

On 1/17/2007 Chris Yandall wrote in from United States  (70.167.nnn.nnn) You can appear to be running with a skateboard if you really try. You just need to transition step on and off the board. Really! Once you dial it in. Your gyroscope gets tuned into a new dimension of skateboard swing. You just got to give your switch step to the skog gods and make it daily routine.     Rate post 264458 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) Skogging in Frozen S. Ca, brrrr On 1/17/2007 Chris Yandall wrote in from United States  (70.167.nnn.nnn) Hi Tom! Had a great skog a few nights ago. Around 25F with a chill factor. Been out more in January than I have in the summer months. This samoan likes the cold and sitting on me ass all day working on these damn things make for some caged animal feelings needing release. Had a great yak about that era of my skating career. I'm sure Adam might reciprocate links. Right boss? :D At any rate, my new board is about to come out. I'm loving it! And I'm loving my bike! Ride it all year long!

I like to skog at night in mission beach/pacific beach area on the boardwalk. transitioning from edge to edge turns as you switch pushing legs is a site to behold when you add a little leg kick to guide your balance to the next one-footed carve. it was chilly last night here but it didnt stop me from giving the late night joggers and bikers a thrill :) thanks for joining the skogging ranks and don't hesitate to get others to post their new exercise quiver addition. cheers! cYa     Rate post 263641 !

I recently got a sweet longboard and realized that bombing hills on it is a little too gnarly for me. I wanted to just cruise over long distances, but the uneven fatigue was killing me. After two or three days of practicing skogging I got it dialed and ended up going 26 miles in two days. I love the setup I've got right now, although it looks like I'm running bigger stuff than most of you skoggers. My deck is 50" by 12", my wheels are 90mm 76a flywheels, and my trucks are super carvers that are 10" wide. Plus I've got pretty thick risers so the board is tall, but I haven't had any promblems with that. It just glides over the rough streets that I ride on.     Rate post 263515 !

I ride my longboard on city streets about twice a week. I have recently tried skogging on my long distance rides.It was very hard at first after using the same leg to push with for 31 years. I'm now getting the feel for it but I can't do it with much speed. Later, Tom Kinkle     Rate post 262659 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) 100 cone race?
