Skateboard Race!


The Portland Pusher went down on February 3rd in the Rose City. Attached is a pic from NCDSA of a final battle for the finish line. Marc and others have been working behind the scenes on coordinating with the Susan G. Komen Foundation and we are wanting to run a similar race here in Charleston.
Marc says "Hopefully this race will happen. The Komen Race draws over 2000 runners and spectators so we will have a big crowd cheering us on. If anyone wants to enter this race, I suggest to start skogging to get in shape before entering. Skogging sounds like a funny word but what is stands for is "Skateboard Jogging" . Skogging was invented by Chris Yandall who was a pro skateboarder from the 1970's and is still active in skogging and slalom racing. Skogging consists of alternating push legs. It's hard to explain but you can check it out yourself at www.skogging.com . As Chris Yandall would say " Cut the jive and jog"
So I have to push MONGO? OK I guess. Just once.
