One of the coolest things in skateboarding is the
long friendships you have over the years - with people
who share the same STOKE that you have in Skateboarding !

Hey Everybody,
Just wanted to post up a little movie I threw together after yesterday's jam. It was really cool to see that freestyle skating lives on! Sorry I don't have more footage but my little digi-cam ran out of hard drive space during the middle of the jam. I shot a bunch of photo's too so if any turn out I will post em for sure, going to drop off the film tomorrow!
Sorry for you dial-ups, this movie's 9.8mgs.

John Ravitch spotted again doing crazy footwork and kickflips
yesterday @ Rengstorff park session. He claims he's a little rusty
and it's been since the Cow Palace Days since he rode flatland, yeah right.
John brought in more pics from da day, funny stuff.
HC now has a primo slide deck, will he get up in time on sunday mornings
or will he continue the Sleeping Beauty routine.
The Proffessor ( formerly known as Sgt. Holl ) spin #'s increase every week.
while still raving about his new vacuum OJ got for him.
House cleaning tips, and rail tricks every sunday.
Mrs. Proffessor came by with snacks for all. Thank's .
OJ is now sponsored by a major corparation ( team uniform and all ) .
Skate on.

About a year ago, a young fella called me up
out of the blue { from LAS VEGAS }
- to tell me he met someone at a skatepark in Ventura
wearing a SK8KINGS T-shirt, who knew the Carrasco Brothers.
The person he met there was "Touchdown" Tommy Edwards from
Sasquatch Skateboards. Tommy gave this young fella my phone number.
Well, this young fella introduced himself as Daniel Trujillo.
He asked me questions about freestyle -
and I figured this kid is STOKED about freestyle skateboarding,
so I mailed him a copy of The Concrete Wave Skateboard History book,
and some Longskate.com stickers.
I told him to practice AND WEAR SAFETY GEAR - - -
and a year later here he is at H.B. FREESTYLE JAM in person -
- - - - ALL THE WAY FROM LAS VEGAS,
to freestyle and jam with all these cool people that
come out to Huntington Beach for this event ! -Kinda cool huh ?
To Daniel and all the young people that are freestyling out there -
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK !
YOU ARE the FUTURE of Freestyle Skateboarding !
Daniel Trujillo ALL THE WAY FROM LAS VEGAS @ the H.B. JAM - 3/28/04 !
...MORE OF MY "H.B. JAM" PHOTO'S LATER TODAY @ www.sk8kings.com
PHOTO: by Rene' "Cannonball" Carrasco !
{ I was @ THE JAM early - but went over to SSS to slalom with
Evans, Maysey, Kaelon, and Rick Ick.
{ see "Mike Mayseys" forum on NCDSA for photo's }
THEN... I came back, but had to leave early to go to LAX,
to get my sister-in-law.}
GREAT seeing the regulars, but really cool seein'
Mike Schwartz, Dale Smith, Dan Gesmer,
my bro. Roger and his family, Bob Staton,
- hope I didn't forget anyone.....so many cool people.

Overall -- GREAT turnout! Unofficial headcount of about 50 people -- maybe 20 more people who aren't in this group photo above. The Family is growing!
NEXT JAM -- The question of the day was "when's the next one?". Gotta check the calendars but kind of looking at Sunday April 25 on the quick view. Feedback???
Check out the Forum at SK8KINGS.COM for more pics, a killer video clip and the full report.

Wow! Freestyle kicks ass! The Sk8kings Jam was off the frickin' hook! Darryl Grogan is a total freak.....technically insane....Primo is the style/footwork/dance king.....Pope is just flat-out Gnarly......Cadillac was ripping.....and RichyC? Well, let's just say Richy is da' man! Even Dlae "Sausage Man" Smith styled up some groovy footwork. Wished I coulda stayed longer, got a few moves in-but suck compared to those guys. Great to see Kaelon too. Thanks again Sk8Kings for another successful flatland jam-FREESTYLE IS FUN, FUN, FUN!

Flatland Freestyle is Born!
Here is an email in responce to a TV producers request for info on WFSA events. It explains the difference between freestyle and flatland freestyle as the FSK8 series intends to apply it.
Greetings!
Great to hear from you.
My current project, that is a spin off from the WFSA, is an Am contest flatland production association called FSK8. I am forming a team as we speak. I will have info on the team next week. They include crossover skaters that can do flatland, street, and high jump.
I don't know if this will mean anything to you but FSK8 will be introducing a new contest format called flatland freestyle. This is different from the traditional format of freestyle contests. The traditional way is to have two runs of 2 minutes each for each skater and set to music like ice skating. The FSK8 Flatland Freestyle way is to have heats of 5 or so skaters that skate together in a 5 min. jam qualifier round with the top skaters advancing to a finals round 5 min. jam. This is a common street contest format that we are adapting to attract a wider range of skaters.
( this is a concept that has been floating around for several years. Recently Nils and the WFSA LA and SPAUSA regulars have requested that I try the jam format. Gary Holl has favored this format as well and decided to launch this format with his contest in Mt. View but then decided to set his contest date back to later in the year, so Gary and I decided to introduce the flatland freestyle jam format at the SLO contest in May)
Should be fun!

Hey guys,
A bit of a preview of a little video project I've been doing. It's more an excersize in editing than anything.
Oddly, a lot of the high pitches in the music were erased during compression....

I just received my Indy 85mm from Eric at http://www.monkeywrenchmachineworks.com
...he took a 101mm hanger and machined it down to 85mm. Perfect for spinning 360's.
Eric machines the inside of the hanger and the axle locknut so you don't need washers and he installed true 8mm diameter 4140 CrMo axles for the perfect bearing fit. Eric is amazing...i know he works on a lot of slalom racers equipment but if anyone's interested in a truck for spinning 360's they can contact him via his web site.

The David Blain was being performed today by Mr. Holl
@ the Rengstroff park Sunday Jam, It's Not what you think it is,
It's a very funny rail trick. Maro made the trick from up north and
was bustin a few moves, Mr Holl's " The Professor" secret weapon
is Subway chocolate chip cookies ( 3 for a buck ). JK showed up
this time with his Casper board with what appeared to be bars of
ivory soap for tail and nose bones, then ate raw hotdogs for an hour.
No show from " Sleeping Beauty " HC. You suck.
Oj's broken ankle is almost healed up now, and is trying more rail combo's.
Great day @ the park.
Skate on.

Hi,
I'm doing an article on the history of skateboarding in the Central Coast area for Blue Edge magazine.
Do you have information on the guy that owned Santa Barbara Skateboards?
Any suggestions for historical info., contacts or photos? They will pay something for photos.
Who were the pioneers of Central Coast skateboarding?
What have been the major benchmarks in the development of skateboarding in this area?
I have to keep the article under 750 words. How about a catchy title?
Thanx, Bob

Orange Julius was spotted this morning at 7-11 nourishing himself on the finer things that establishment has to offer. Will he learn 2 new moves this week at the Rengstorf Park F-style event or will it be 3? Will HC show up and ride his new Primo deck? Will John the "iron chef" bring his yo-yo board and get with the program? Will Ravitch show? Will Taco bust some more crazy footwork? Will MaRo make the drive this week or will his Band be recording?
Rengstorf Park, Mtn View, CA 11AM this Sunday, be there.
