That helmet looks like a hard-shelled condom! But it must be great safety-wise. :-))
Saw David in the new Concrete Wave Evolutions DVD. This 3rd DVD is by far the best.
HC - I will try to get an extra copy of that DVD for you, or you can copy my original-- they are cool with it being duped cuz it's all advertiser sponsored and free.

mark your calender Sept 29 and 30.
Sunday 30th is the bowl competition.
"It is that time of year again when Sessions puts on its annual Tim Brauch Memorial Contest. This year will be the 9th annual event and will be held at the Scotts Valley Skatepark, which was created by Sessions in memory of Tim, on September 29 and 30, 2007. In addition, we are once again lucky enough to have Sunday's bowl competition be part of the World Cup Skateboarding Tour."
if anyone have the schedule, please post..

My wife would really like to learn how to skate. I recently bought her a longboard and I'm looking for someone to give her some lessons. She's completely new to skating, and a little fearful... but really wants to learn. Email me if you are interested. We are located in berkeley.

Hi Rich, sorry for the slow response. I usually don't look very often at this site.
I sometimes use a tripod to film and then I use a wide angle converter lens too.
I don't like to video so I usually shoot everything in the shortest time possible then I use my Apple computer which comes with iMovie to make the video's. Sometimes when I shoot at the skatepark I just set the camera on a towel and use the towel to prop it at a good angle.
You can view more here

and here under podcasts.

p.s.
I didn't win the 100K but we had a blast at AST and skating all weekend. We skated Claremont (best pool at a skatepark), Coronado and then on Sunday we freestyled with tons of riders.

Adam, tunnel is definitely a potentially dangerous road,
although not fast, its windy
and a lot of skaters cross the DY to get the fast line through the corners
If the skater DECIDES to cross the DY, he NEEDs to look ahead around the corner to make sure there is no oncoming car.
there definitely have been past incidents, close call, etc.
guys sliding out on righthanders into oncoming traffic.
or Crossing the DY on leftys without looking running into oncoming traffic.
Riders do need to be aware of the risks and not ride over their head.

Crossing the DY.. tsk, tsk. Someone's going to get squashed. Or at the very least a motorist is going to report you to the police.

Gary-- nice job on the video. Do you use a tripod set-up to film yourself skating? It would be great if you can share any tips here about doing self-taped sk8 vids. Like does that require any special lens to do well?
I recently bought a Sony HDD camcorder and will need to document the 45 at 45 Tour.

Gary,
http://www.freestyleusa.com/fstyle/
Congrats go to Gary Holl our NorCal bud. Good luck today! And have fun skating with Erik.
Judi O
After hundreds of submissions were received, viewed and judged by the Freestyle team, four lucky people have been awarded a trip to the Action Sports Retailer trade show (ASR) on Saturday, September 8th to try their luck at winning $100,000.
The $100,000 Freestyle website promotion which ran from February 1st through July 31st, was created to give amateur photographers and video gurus the chance to display their surf/skate/snow inspired work on a new platform and hopefully win a whole lot of cash.
Freestyle awarded each of the four finalists a trip for two to ASR in San Diego, a hotel room for two nights, $300.00 in spending cash and Freestyle swag bags.
On Saturday at 4:00 p.m. (PST) at the Freestyle booth, photography category finalists, Tom Cozad and Andrew Hahn, along with video category finalists, Gary Holl and Dylan Flint, will each have five chances to roll a set of five dice that have Freestyle’s logo on one side; if all five dice land with the five Freestyle logos facing up, the contestant will win $100,000.

Putting on a speedboard race without a hitch is pretty rare but it happens. The sun was out and it made it a perfect day for racing.
(1)James "Fukin" Kelly- $50
(2)George from LA- NDN racing gloves
(3)Brian Boogie- Sonoma Old school t-shirt
(4)This rad dude(i can't remember his name)
We had 8 racers and a handful of spectators. The final heat was pretty f#@!in intense tight pac for the first few turns then James Kelly pulled away from the group early and made it a race for 2nd. A little ways past the half way point i saw George slide out on the wet turn i figured at that point i had 2nd place in the bag but George wasn't going down without the last few words and pulled out in front of me about 3 turns before last straight away. I couldn't catch up...
I want to thank Sonoma Old School boardshop for the shwagg and i also want to thank the drivers Ng, Nicole and Chrissy. without them we would have walked up the f#@!in hill.
