A journey of skateboarding across the United States, at skateparks in various cities. I am organizing to build a skate park in my hometown of Davis, West Virginia. A skate park that is free of charge and open to everyone will be a positive addition to the community, providing a place for kids and athletes alike to gather and skate.

Skate in the Snow
It has been dumping snow all day. Tonight more, and in the morning we will wake up and go play. Sliding on it, with skis, snowboards, and sleds. Snow Skates are cool to skid around and hit jumps. They are a skateboard deck made for the snow, and make for a pretty good challenge doing tricks. Until then, no fresh shots of anything. Just keeping alive in the storm of the storms, 2012.

Going to Bridge Day
Get the pool boards out. We are going to Fayettville Skatepark.
Bridge Day, 2012.
People jump off the second longest single arch bridge in the world. We may go jump in Summerville Lake too.
But there will definitely be some shredding...
See you there!

Kickflip World Record
A New Kickflip World Record
Oslo, Norway, 6/15/2007
The Krux kickflip challenge is touring Norway at the moment. Before last week the world record was held by an American, who had 284 kickflips in a row. This record is now shattered.

Last week the Norwegian rider Christian Brekke broke the record when he did 332 kickflips in a row. Everyone was well impressed, until yesterday, when another Norwegian rider, Magnus Borderwick, did an incredible 508 kickflips in a row.
The 13 year old spent 1 hour and 24 minutes doing the 508 flips, which equates to six kickflips per minute, or one kickflip every ten seconds! Congratulations.
