OCT 11th, 2008

 

Congrats Laura Hatwell!!

The World's first female 100+ mile Ultraskater!

The weekend was abuzz with tons of shared distance stoke, people pushing themselves for their personal bests, and reports are still trickling in from Seattle, San Diego, Houston, the UK, and New Zealand riders!

Seattle to Portland

204 miles, 23.5 hours

We managed the weekend on very little sleep, brand new miles and miles of chipsealed roads, 95 degree temps, and Barefoot Ted conquered the hills with grace. This was my third STP and hands down the best vibe coming through the finish, feeling strong and realizing we want another one of these sooner!

Thank you Dave and Holly Nottingham for taking this shot of us!

flex your soul

Follow our progress as we cover the 27-mile Burke-Gilman trail from Redmond to Seattle Washington -- without touching foot to ground.

"That's fantastic. I've never heard of that before," said Michael Brooke, publisher of the Canada-based skateboarding magazine Concrete Wave. "I've heard of people pumping ... but that's unusual if they're going for miles and miles."

Cyber Mile - log your current pump mile, and track your improvements over the year!

100-mile week - motions in pumping are centered around the core -- the abs, back, and spine...

Morning commute - "...this ride helped define my quest..."

Broken Kingpins - "...took its toll learning limitations of the hardware..."

Long Distance no-touch ride - "...Wahooey! -- Redmond to Woodinville without a touch in between. ..."

Cure The Carve Addiction - ".. no longer a hill to climb...you never have to leave the board...."

Maintaining momentum - "...efficiencies and motions for building momentum..."

Something Profound - "...the universe is in a total paradox... "

Vertical Gears - "...this changed my ideas on approaching hills..."

LDP II "...a style developed by Tahitians in 900 A.D..."

LDP I "...like trying to explain garlic to a guy without a tongue..."

Longboard Commuting

with purpose and buzz

"(The commute was) totally unexpected and euphoric... The kind of ride that leaves you buzzing — a morning shot of endorphins instead of caffeine." - James Peters

"Living in the city, you just don't really need a car so why make your life cost more than it needs to? It just ties up your freedom... My board takes me everywhere." - Sheldon Lessard

Seattle Times, May 2008
