Re: WTB - Ick Stick deck
How odd. Just yesterday my car got broke into and my Ick retro flattie, the third ever made after Charlie and Steve's was stolen out of my car. I also lost a blue ick carerra that I bought at the FCR race in Catalina.

Here's tight: Bicknell Hill, Santa Monica California 28 cones on 6' centers in just over 6 seconds. WLAC tight is about 12-15 seconds for 30 cones. Fast enough for ya? A clean run is a rare and serious accomplishment. Even the world champ doesn't run this thing clean every time. Forget the hybrid an...

Hey Adam, We are going to try to run Bicknell every Thursday night around 8:30pm. In the summer, we should have some beautiful warm sunset sessions. If there is an event like WLAC or some other race like maybe JPL happening, maybe we will run a weekend session so out of town folks can experience thi...

Last night Atilla, Floyd Reid and I ran 6'straight cones on Bicknell Hill in Santa Monica, the famed Z-boys practice spot. This hill is so steep that Rene Carrasco compares it to Signal Hill. Running Floyd's 6' course here clean qualifies you for the Bay Street Cross, tight slalom's highest decorati...

This summer, outlaw super steep TIGHT racing. That's right, all you self-appointed martyrs of TS. I know all of us on the West Coast are fat beer drinking longboarders that only ride GS cuz we're too lazy to deal with the DISCIPLINE of tight. That's OK. That's why we'll get Floyd Reid to set the cou...

OK, the Z-Cult slalom session at Bicknell Hill was GOIN OFF last night. Anybody who's seen the Dogtown movie might remember that hill the Zephyr crew used to practice on, down the street from the old Jeff Ho shop. It's right on the beach south of the Santa Monica pier. Jesse Martinez called a sessio...

What Hackett did with the Deathrace was a great start towards introducing the concept of racing to skate world in general. The crowd was very diverse, and they were all stoked on the idea of racing. Now the race itself called for exactly none of the specialized skills we associate with slalom except...

GUERRILLA ROAD REPAIR Armed with trowels, brushes and sponges, we loaded buckets of cement dyed with black house paint pigment to match the road onto old beat up kicktails and rolled them past the locked gate and down the JPL hill. We filled in all the potholes we could get to, then went back home a...

This is great. This stuff is exactly the kind of discussion thats helps the sport advance and would be difficult to accomplish on the other site without getting shouted down. The JPL race fits nicely into the GS parameters as I hoped it would. One thing I wnat to experiment myself is how steep a hil...

Thanks for posting those pictures Maria. Even that overview shot doesn't show the whole hill. Between 40 and 50 cones, wide open GS, but the offsets are makeable. Basically the top of the course is lightning fast, and then you've got to figure out a way to haul it all in to make the corners as you n...

I take exception to Vlad's statement that we won't like tight when we see it, and that the course setting is a reflection of the participant's desire. We are the ones asking for tight! And trust me, a lot of courses we ran this year were NOT a relection of the participant's desire. That's why you wi...
