Jack, nice to see you back! Just like the song. Go back, jack ....
giggle
So the best skating for everyone is the one you go out an do. right? at least once a day, i'm on my board looking for a new approach to getting that total body workout going.
SK8KINGS is releasing my production board. I also have a custom(pricey and a paint job you don't want to messup bad). You'll need a custom email sent to chris@yandal.com to inquire about the custom version. i'll pop you an email asap.
On the production board from SK8Kings, the deck is a great hardwood laminate, very stiff by design and with a very very flat deck surface. The setup for the new "Skogging" decks will have dialed in trucks, wheels, bearings, hardware and gripped for real skoggers!
Mind you my son loves the board's capability to go from slow fats to 40ish speeds with great control.
I like the simplicity of the board. Skogging fits into the scope of flatland skating with a board that just feels right the first time you get on it and cranks turns, rides smooth as velvet and best of all, turns on a dime yet has great stability at higherspeeds.
Give www.sk8kings.com a call and ask them!
and welcome back to the fold. great to see you back!
Thanks
Chris Yandall

Here's some serious skogging footage. I'm starting to think that going downhill switch foot carving may be my next endeavor to bring a downhill style that adds another dimension for necessitating chairlifts for a downhill park. Anyone got 10 million laying around? I'd love to spearhead an R&D group to do so.

Hey Chris,
Used to be Jack in Aurora. Great to see your videos. I've moved back to California. I've been out of it for awhile getting over various maladies. Did you ever put out that 38" deck? I still have my prototype and it has become my favorite all around board. I also still ride my 34" signature. I don't try to skog anymore. I've got balance issues standing on my right foot and have had two bad falls trying to get the hang of it. I broke ribs on both falls. I'm still pumping though and the 38" is still an awesome ride. Anyway I wanted to say Hi. Please shoot me an email jmerica@earthlink dot net. My 13 year old wants to know if you made anymore 38" boards. He wants one.
Cheers,
Jack in Burbank

"Let your haters be your motivators!"
Good motto to live by!
Don't let others jealousy & hate get to you.
You keep on doing what you're doing & have fun doing it.
That's all that's important.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
We have lots to be thankful for........

In the spirit of this thread, one alternating leg before the other helps the opposite side leg movement become symmetrical and in the process, a band of balanced muscular development occurs. As these muscles work in a balanced process, special endorfins create a physical state of gyroscopic bliss.....
yo Miller! we're passing up this weekend due to family illness. my mom's 2nd CHF has us all on pins and needles. she's recovering but only in the hospital bed setting... i know you guys will kick it. will be thinking of you!

Thanks for the invite bro but I think by November it will be hard to travel due to the new travel sanctions put on everyone to stay put. :) things may get crazy. but if not, we'll consider blasting up there!
time to think about going long periods without things.
peace out :)

healing healing,getting stronger,rolling the bike even though the doc said to stick with a stationary bike. I last for about a cd's lenght then i get up off the exercise bike and go out and cruise for a few hours,low gears, low impact,lots of suspension, i don't think a little crash would slow me up now,knock on 7 ply. Recovery is probabely way ahead of schedule, next visit to the doc on oct 9,still on one crutch until then ,knee does get a little sore on walks around the supermarket and such,but it recovers pretty quick and feels stronger afterwards.

Rene!
whoa dude. you guys blew me away. and rene, for someone twice my age :) you kicked out some moves!
Lynnn and Richie doing those fast CLEAN times on a double curved course. it blows away most road tests but then, the best test is 100 people doing 100 cones in 100 hours on the 100th day of the year on a perfectly straight course on perfectly matched road surfaces on perfectly atmospheric and planetary gravitational ..... ..... for real times. the clock is one factor but as everyone knows, perfect conditions with good skaters will result in tenths and thousandths matchups.
so then it's the event that makes the *real* difference.
Lynn Kramer is an amazing person. Her love and devotion to downhill is infectious :) Seriously, she gets my conehead fever goin! And Richie's years of being on top of his board added to the mix. Making the same exact high-speed(20mph+)turn over and over again 100 times is the ultimate challenge for being symmetrically tuned to the turn. What next? the 200 cone challenge?
I need to prove to myself that I can get thru them too. I've gone around 50 clean on a good day but dammmmmnnnnnnn. not for the average human being.
and y0 Eric, killer timing system. simply genius! with the camera. and nice bike! fix the damn thing! :D

Y0 herb'n. i skated with those guys and showed them basically the same moves I've been doing on the flats. I don't have much downhill stuff other than racing but the parallel stance is what we were doin' in the 70's .
i guess i better get a video of my downhill antics which include the same moves. i prefer the flats. bigger market to get people to generate their own speed. going downhill is like a snowboard or ski run and you just cant wait to get back to the top. when skogging, hills are not a factor. self generated fall lines baby! do it up!

i was wondering ,have you looked up "whirling dirvish" on u tube? hirtn(i shouldve thought of that:) it's the first video that's made me feel like walking around on my skateboard,as soon as i can,i kind of get it ,it's actually sort of a tutorial,it starts with a parallel stance then a parallel near the back truck,hopping front to back then cross stepping, then putting it all together.

Court and the accused skogger ' PUBLIC DISTURBANCE'

Hey kitty, first congrats on your world tour to see how you match up against all planetarians!!! Nice job. You have to be the most improved racer I've seen in the ages. And you keep getting better! You Go Girl!
so i got off on a lesser charge because I had no priors and the judge's review of the case as far as he could see regardless of the cops behavior was that I was a public disurbance so ....500 BUCKS later I'm a freee man!
dealing with the police state antics where there's zero tolerance due to a very heavily populated system where just too many people squeezing thru due process. from my point of view, justice is being served by status quo without regards to the real issue. 4 overzealous cops coercing lies to make up for their stupidity and ignorance to the reality of the situation.
i would love to take each one of those cops on and put the same hurt they put on me. they deserve it but thanks to the police state authoritative process, these idiots will go on to their next blunder and hopefully their arrogance will cause the universe to return the negativity putting them in their lowly place.
