PUMPOLOGY

As many people requested a "how to" type of pumping video, I'm extracting clips that focus on specific pumping motions. Hopefully these latest video additions help toward that direction. Nothing professional here yet, just trying to get some raw footage out.

Pumping has always been far more experiential than academic to me. After watching and riding with people who've got it down, you attempt, adjust, flail, stop and think, then try again, with small increments of personal discovery along the way. Watch slalom vids and check out the different forms. As you're learning, you've got to throw any reservations about public embarrassment right out the window. Be the clown on the trail, give everyone a laugh and a show. It's a good time and it just gets gooderer as you progress.

Personally I find a wide spectrum of ways to pump, and its important to tap into different styles depending on whether you're tackling inclines, flats, or pumping a mellow downhill. Just like a distance runner, you can't sprint the whole thing. Shake it up and experiment. And if you're progressing along and run into some specific incremental block, it's always great to hear whats going on, to compare notes and see if that temporary hurdle is a common one. Every day on the board is an amazing discovery, and riding with different people, you will always learn a little or sometimes even a LOT that you can work into your own game.

Just Pumpin Combines two of my favorite things: pumping along the trails and cranking some funk / jazz.
Girls on Film Pump clips from over the years, plus a few cameos including John Holmes, haha!
Pumping Switch Like learning to skateboard all over again!
Pumpin around Tokyo Out solo on the trails, managed to grab a few clips. Music is by one of my favorite Japanese groups- United Future Organization.
Alki Beach on Go Skateboarding Day Pumping up and down the boardwalk, freakin' out the locals.

Offset Cyber

Cyber slalom is by regulation a 6-foot center, straight line course. We sometimes mix it up, spacing the cones at 9 feet with 1 foot alternating off the center line.

This video is a mix of some of that, plus random LDP clips out on the trail - and a little Xmas pumping through the house when the family was out.

 

Different Pumping styles

Gareth, Jackman, Stryker, Peters-- just goofin at the garage where we partake in the insanity of shaving tenths and hundreths of seconds on a Cyber slalom course through the wet winter months.

 

Pumping and Cyber Miles at the Velodrome

Spring/Summer 2006. Switch pumps, zig zaggin, loose arms, velodrome with Peters, Munson and Seth, cyber-mile footy and general pumpin and goofin around.

 

Cruising Gears

Summer 2006. Pump examples in "The Cell"- weighting/unweighting, using relaxed arm motions.

 

3D Pumping

Summer/Fall 2006. Short clips pumping around Burien, Port Angeles, Shoreline parks. A local Burien ripper, Morgan, James, and Sophie skating and doing some camera work!

Pumping and working the vert is a much different ballgame than the traditional flatland pump. Watching people as smooth in the parks as Morgan or Dan Hughes blows my mind and inspires.

 

Silly Pumpers

Early 2006, just out pumping the Burke in the Kenmore-Bothell area - Peters and Munson.

 

 

LDP 3: More hill climbing, spring 2005, including tackling the biggest slope on the Burke Gilman Trail, which we call "Big Mama"

LDP 2: A frosty morning outing in 2004, doing some hill climbs on the Burke-Gilman Trail, around Redmond and Woodinville.
LDP 1: The Redmond Velodrome, SkateKing roller rink, and garage slalom, December 2004.
MS Skate - 25-mile and 12-mile - July 2005

OTHER STUFF

Munson vs. Peters

Pump vs. Push !!

Dual version of NCDSA's "The Trap."

This online version of racing a nearly-cyber length course without the cones, has only been mildly popular. Making it a head-to-head race is a whole new game.

Winter Garage Trap Another Trap vid. Corey Moy, John Stryker and Peters.
Pupping! Skateboards, puppies, girls, and the Tijuana Brass. What more to life is there?

A fast cruise around Green Lake one fine morning, weaving through pedestrians, when a HUGE dog (much unlike the one pictured) saw me as a T-bone steak pumping a skateboard and decided to have a bite.

Cyber Chicken Just some good times with John Stryker, Patrick Alldred, head to head cyber slalom.

Hood River GS 2007 Marty Schaub, Brad Jackman, and John Ravitch's GS runs on that butter smooth hill in Hood River, OR.
Tight Longboard Slalom

Brad Jackman playin on his LDP board during the Seattle tight slalom event, putting 43" Comet through a 6-footer course.

 

Vanc BC slalom!

"Slalom Vancouver 2006 (start to finish in 10mins!)" filmed by Hayato, a local BC ripper!! Race organized by Jeff Bonney and Malcolm Stooke, this was the first time in 30 years slalom was revived in BC, an epic event!

 

Salem State Games 2006

Another sunny day on the crazy smooth soap box derby hill in Salem. Gareth doing handstands after heat stroke kicked in.

Seattle Combo Plate slalom

Pauliwog, Brad Jackman, Skip Marcotte, the Subsonic Moores, Bonney, and many others. A perfect day, a perfect race organized by John Stryker.

 

Hood River GS 2006

Hood River 2006. A full length ride down the GS course following Gareth Roe. Before that, a couple fast pumpin' starts by Chaput (in the famous sperm suit) and Schwippert, quick shots of Chapman and Pirnack.

Runs were in the 80--130 second range, its a loooooooong hill! Next year I'll pack a zoom lens and try keeping my finger out of the shot.

 

Puyallup practice session

Brad, Dan, Corey, Stryker and I found an in-progress subdivision with perfect asphalt. Of course the place is well lived-in now, but it was fun while it lasted!

 

One short shot of Michael Dong rippin through a regulation cyber course, no timer, just something on the side during one of the Ridgefield slalom events in 2004.

Pumping the Auburn skatepark in the wee hours of the morning, you won't see any Tony Hawk airs in this one.... we were scouting out/testing the park with cones taped up on the walls in prep for a possible outlaw Park Slalom!

From fastest to slow as a snail in this order... Dan Hughes, Brad Jackman, James Peters.

A little outlaw tight and hybrid. I actually sat this race out with a bad heel injury and took video from the same vantage point.

Hood River slalom 2005. Giant GS course on the old highway, a perfect combination of magic asphalt running through a long set of tree-covered curves.

Followed up the next day with tight slalom on aggregate surface in downtown Hood River, right in front of the Full Sail Brewery.

100-cone challenge, in Salem, Oregon 2004. This short clip is Michael Dong and Gareth Roe going at it. Gareth had 4 clean 100-cone runs and Michael and Tay Hunt were the fastest, something just over 20 seconds with cone penalties factored in. A true test of endurance!
