Are still Standing (or Lying about on a Luge)
On 2/8/2020 PSR wrote in from United States  (166.182.nnn.nnn)

Fuk, Yay, I'm still alive!! Are You? I may 'lay down on the job to Luge It Faster', But, I Stand at the End of the Run. My inverse, "S-camber" deck is (now that I've owned both) a better stick (thanks, Eric Estlund!) than a new-edition LY EVO, because of the REAR FOOT against Camber placement. I need to go to Bru in moneychester Vt to make the concave correct, tubbed like we wish it could be... We'll be back; PSR has NO MONEY, NEVER DID. I work for IDEAS that Go Faster, always have. Eric, the "PSR" in 'no skool' wheels [Right, Chris, or did ya forget in that wine bottle?]

I first posted here as a 14 year old in 2001 who wanted to learn how to race skateboards.

It dominated my teen years and I made some real friends from this page.
Just wanted to pop past and spread some love. Kind of made me teary visiting here again to be honest.

New age racin
On 10/19/2017 KLUDYMAN wrote in from (174.65.nnn.nnn)

1st heat was a lot of fun , little daft, pass; got passed ! Finials was different. Never had a transponder on me before and it was to tell who made it down the hill the first. Guess they did not take into account the start line who took off 1st off the line. I had a game plan to wait for Tab to pass because he was the heaviest rider and been down this hill 100 times. Had no issues with the others! We go thru the top section and Tad made his move pass me. What I did not know is that a luge rider was filming behind Tad. In the last 19 years of racing the only riders on the race course was only the riders in that heat. When Tad pass me I could here something on my hip so I swerved hard to the other side of the road.Killed my draft or a chance to win; right then I realized my trucks was crazy loose. Never touched my board after Zac handed it to me. At that point I ROAD THAT BOARD LIKE I STOLE IT ! Catching up to Mike who said he got 3rd because the transponder said he got down the hill faster than me I decided not to pass him in a turn and waited till we hit a straight away and made my move.The whole time about to come off my board. After the pass a hit a patch in the turn and another coming out of the turn; went wide. He came inside and I cut him off just at the straight before the last hard left. He was trying to grab me and I was swinging back; our boards hit and he backed off. Going into the last hard left I brushed the hey; he got inside me, I went back into my tuck and won by 1/2 a board . When the start lines man said go Mike went like a bat out of hell and I just stayed ! He took off and I did not so the transponder said he won. All day he tried to talk me into that he got 3rd. At the end I told him if he wanted it that bad go head a take the podium; he did and still has my trophy !
Had a blast and no worries with the outcome; some times s#@! happens.
STOKED TO BE BACK HERE BECAUSE IT JUST SPEEDBOARDING TALK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Where was I
On 10/18/2017 KLUDYMAN wrote in from (174.65.nnn.nnn)

So the morning of the race Tab comes over and said I should put the new wheels on that Zac gave me, was the Devils Peak wheels he made for that race. Then I looked around for my board and forgot what I did with it; Zak had it, Ha !!!1
Walked to the street looking for it and I see Zak with a big smile on his face. Got my board and put the new wheels on at Tabs camp. Ready to go :)
Had one practice run before the Grand Masters started the show. All the pros was watching on the Big Screen. In the practice run I some how found myself in a pack of riders going for it. One rider came out of no where and almost took out 3 riders in front of me coming into a turn. THAT WAS EXCITING !!!!!!!!!!!!1
Forgot about my board Zak just handed me but it was loose. That old saying RIDE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT came into play when we raced . Will finish tomorrow; Ha !

Still DOING IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
On 10/17/2017 KLUDYMAN wrote in from (174.65.nnn.nnn)

Decided this site is more for me so.
I raced again last month. It was the 1st race for Windwalk down Maryhill.
A man contacted me that he wanted to give back and wanted to pay my airfair to finish something I had started 15 years ago, got takin out my 1st heat. Windwalk covered my fee to race. For the 1st time I was racen guys my on age. Zac made sure I had good wheels ; Tad made sure I needed to go for it ! Had 3 days to get the hang on the hill again. Once I did; talked the race gods to let us; the old guys go in the morning because it was over 100 every day. Was walking by Zak in the morning before practice and he talked me into given him my board. One run and then we raced !
Will share more tomorrow. Knowing no one read this is awesome for me to just share StanD-uP SpeEdbOarding ; Ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Thanks for hanging around NCDSA.

I have missed this place. Very stoked to see Kludy comes back to see who is doing what.

The post archive on this is amazing, the real history of speedboarding is contained in these dialogues. Love it!

Killington Downhill Throwdown
On 6/19/2016 PSR wrote in from United States  (65.96.nnn.nnn)

While I could only be a spectator, and then only for a very short time this year, I was thoroughly Stoked on this event!
It's been 36 years (and a month or so) since I first ran this hill, from the Bear Mt. turnoff to the bottom on a plywood Luge. I first ran the hill, standing, BUT Cranking Turns, back in '78. However, the potential as a Racing Hill was obvious even then!
Last year, the race had Luges going into the 70 mph realm, and the Stand-up Racers were right around the mile-a-minute mark at the bottom.
This Year, Marc Dean moved the Start Further Up the mountain! Now, the Racers were coming into that left-handed Hairpin at 60+! I think the Sleds carried more speed out of the bottom, but that change elevated everyone's game!
This might've been the last race here[?], as Marc is not running it next year, and the future is 'cloudy' for now. In any case, I'm happy that 'my' race hill (well, one of them!) that I ran on 3 decades ago got to see 3 years of great competition. The Racers that ran this beast did me proud! Hope it was worth the trip to the Green Mountains!

Push Culture in VT
On 6/3/2015 PSR wrote in from United States  (65.96.nnn.nnn)

I had noted the two Events that Push Culture is bringing to Vermont in the Luge and Buttboarding forums, but these also include Stand-up.
Killington will be on the Bear Mt. road, this coming Sat. + Sun. (6/6 +6/7), and it's a FAST course with one really ugly lefty hairpin in it. The top is shallow "SS-es", then the the pinner, with the lower being a Bombfest!
The next event is on the following weekend, further North, at Burke Mt., along the upper Condo road, which is steep and twisty. There's 3 good pinners along the route, so have your drifting figured, as footbraking will only get you into the woods... Bet on 55 mph to place here.
Not as nutty as Ascutney, but both hills will make you think about the 'Green Mountain State' with a bit of respect. I know of steeper, faster hills around here, but these are 'good' for some Racin' !!

Dregs
On 4/14/2013 Doug wrote in from United States  (69.87.nnn.nnn)

What happened to Dregs? I was reading a thread over on the 'Fish on a Dregs board, and someone mentioned they were going under...Sure enough, I found all their assets in a bankruptcy auction. I was lucky enough to get a few boards from Biker's personal stash from the sale, but it sucks to see such an awesome, OG company go out like this.
