THIS WILL BE HELL OF A EVENT!!! OVER 600 RIDERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE BEEN INVITED !!!

Hello everyone. The Jersey Jumpoff is back with the annual Summer Madness event.

Without self imploding the event with explicit details…. I’m just including the following.

Sat. AUG 1st we meet up at midnight at the usual spot near the port authority.

We will be skating through the same towns, and some of the same hills. Basically nothing is changing except for the meetup at the White Castle which was a huge mistake on my part, because its a well known cop lure, and I should have realized that last time. The Jersey rendezvous point is TBD.

What to expect.

-team relay race around the pond like last year.
-rad hills.
-this is a free-ride so don’t bother asking what board to bring.
-be prepared to skate all night.
-this is rain or shine, because thats how we do it, so stop looking at the weather report.
-having fun is what its all about, so bring a happy attitude or stay home watching SNL.
-AND finally we will end the night with a HUGE garage bomb race for $money$ in a town TBD. (remember last year).

*This is the only Jersey Jumpoff event of this year. You’ve heard about it and everyone has mentioned how much fun they have despite some drawbacks. So please come out and be apart this group longboard event. Meet some people and blah blah blah…

The event ends at Sunrise. You have been listening to WWAD sleep deprivation radio.

First Annual Tussey Mountain Marathon Race.  The course consists of a windy sprint with speeds in the low to mid 50 mph range, and a sweeping right hand turn just before the finish line. Racers will be required to wear a helmet and gloves, although full leathers and pads are recommended. Get here on Friday for a day of festivities before race day! Cruise the Penn State Campus, freeride some local hills, barbeque by the pool, and party by the fire at night. A special thanks to XVD Longboards for providing us with 4 complete boards for the first through fourth place winners, as well as Skate Penn, and Concrete Wave. First place will be crowned king of the hill following the race with a trophy, and a carbon fiber speedboard. We will look forward to seeing you there!

A group of Atlanta, Georgia area skaters have gotten together a 20 mile charity push on the Silver Comet Trail to support Board Rescue, a charity that provides at-risk youth with skateboarding equipment and instruction. It will be at 9:00 AM on August 1st at the Silver Comet Trail just a few miles west of Atlanta. A flyer is attached to this email, and there is a facebook event at the following link: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=logo#/event.php?eid=107264081987&ref=mf The ride is being sponsored by Loaded Boards and by Concrete Wave Magazine.

I got to Ithaca at half past midnight on Friday morning and was asleep by three A.M. We left for Montreal around 9pm the next day and arrived at 3:30am. We were told that we had to go skating right then no matter what because it was going to rain all day. I wasn’t going to argue with that. We skated some legendary runs that I’d only heard of and seen on the graphics of each Kebbek board. At 8am, the sun had been up for a few hours and we decided to get some breakfast and go to bed. From then on the rest of the weekend was kind of off from lack of sleep. After waking up after few hours of sleep we took a while to come out of our groggy state and wait out the rain before heading north to skate some more epic Quebec hills. The plan was to go to Tremblant and skate the alpine luge track, which I remember well from seeing JimZ ripping it in old downhill videos. We only got one run on it because of rain and tourists. We sessioned another hill for a little bit on the other side of the resort to wait it out but the weather wasn’t on our side. When we got back into Montreal we enjoyed some poutine and a beer in a cool little hipster bar before retiring to our floor space for a little more sleep.

Sunday was the St. Sauveur Gravity Fest, which was about an hour north of Montreal and is part of the Street Missile Northeastern Downhill Series. It’s by far the gnarliest and most technical course in the series, although a very short run. All Street Missile events attempt to be beginner friendly and as inclusive as possible but to make it down the track with any speed much skill was definitely required. We had checked out the course a little the night before when it was raining and it looked like a lot of fun. It’s a very steep run with a grade of 11 or 12%, a right hairpin and a left 90 that most people had a hand down for and were scrubbing through. It’s set on the grounds of a public works facility and there are huge mounds of gravel and stone lining a portion of the course. It is an odd industrial type setting for a downhill race. Our wonderful guide also explained that there would be a launch ramp or two on the course for the slope style competition, which was a very exciting prospect to me.
