More Milton Mile - Other People's Pixels
The starting line of the Milton Mile as photographed by L. Pauley.
I started removing my gloves as I neared the finish line. JayTee passed me by like the breeze. I was done.
Tom Sloan skated so fast that it prompted David Tolley to remark "I never saw the front side of Tom until he was passing me on the way back." Tom finished second overall.
Ben Jah Mon nearing the finish line.
The man who makes it happen, Marc of Marc's Board Shop, sponsor of the Milton Mile. Marc is the embodiment of STOKE when he is on board, always smiling. I remember someone asking me "Is that Marc?" When I confirmed that it was indeed Marc, live and direct, they remarked "He looks younger every time I see him." Rad.

G&S Trucks Ad
PUNK AS F@CK! I remember when this ad came out because it was so RAD! Fast food and curb slappies. I rode G&S Trucks for while when they first came out and they would grind any curb. Sometimes I wish they still made chromoly trucks because I know I'd ride a pair.

About 20 skaters of various ages took to Route 60 in Milton, WV on Sunday, September 25, 2011 to compete in the Milton Mile, a one mile push race organized by Marc's Board Shop. Prizes were awarded in both new school and longboard/unlimited classes. The event took place just before the Pumpkin Festival parade, and was an overall success which left organizers feeling optimistic about this being a recurring event. The four lanes of US Route 60 were blocked off thirty minutes before the parade, providing a window of opportunity as well as an open safe course lined with hundreds of spectators.

1. Kyle Smith -- around 5 minutes 40 seconds -- overall winner
