He's Going The Distance
And he won't be alone. Some of you will recall Karr's ride across North Carolina, a ten day excursion which covered over 500 miles. This event, The Chief Ladiga Silver Comet Sk8 Challenge 2011, is being billed as "The first long distance skateboarding stage race ever to be held." According to information on the event's facebook page, "Long distance skateboarders from around the world will be descending on the 94 miles long Silver Comet and Chief Ladiga Bike Trail that runs from Smyrna (Atlanta), Georgia to Weaverville (Anniston, AL) for three days of racing that will total approximately 180 miles plus!" The race will proceed "charitywater.org to provide clean water to people in countries who need it." Sign up is available at www.skatefurther.com.

Back lip or front board? Discuss amongst yourselves.
A Sal Barbier autographed pic of Matt Hensley with Matt's autograph on the back.
Crew cuts, hair dye, punk rock attitude, Operation Ivy, cargo shorts, chain wallets, Doc Martens, H-Street, Plan B, flat land no complies, melancholy ollies, Airwalk high tops cut off to mids, you can't deny Matt's influence on skateboarding. Just call me Jeff Haynesly.

On Saturday, June 25 2011, skaters from the Tri-State will have a chance to participate in a long distance skateboard ride to benefit Holy Spirit Orthodox Church's chapter of the Fellowship of St. John the Divine's lunch program. The fellowship prepares and serves lunch for approximately 150 men, women, and children one Saturday each month according to information on the event provided by Lenny on facebook. The nearly 15 mile ride will start at Huntington's Ritter Park and conclude at Central Park in Ashland, Kentucky.

The Tri-State has a strong longboard and skate community that is always more than willing to help out fellow skaters for a good cause. We hope this event aids the mission to fight hunger.

Airwalk
The Airwalk Prototype 600 is back. They are very 1989 with the exception of the price which is very '85, as in $85. How long before we start buying them and cutting them into mids again?
The Airwalk Enigma is back on the scene too. I used to rock these and they came in a variety of color ways such as black and grey, and a nice olive green and tan too. Retailing for $75 American. Thanks Skate and Annoy for the story.

Coming Soon
Assault Skateboards is stoked to announce the upcoming release of 8" two-tone popsicle stick deck along with the 9" x 33" Ricky Winsor SSD/DEAD POINT/CHOP TAIL boasting a 15.125" wheelbase, along with the highly anticipated 9.25" x 32" Mark Heintzman ketchup deck!
Hardcore skaters young and old will appreciate the quality and craftsmanship that is going in to the production of these decks. Made in Southern California by skaters for skaters, the Winsor and Heintzman will be a treat for collectors and for those of us who like to ride boards with great shapes and deep concave. Versatile skaters who like the ambidextrous popsicle stick shape will find the 8" two-tone perfect for street, park, or pool.
I'll be posting pics as they become available.
This is my speculation as to the shape of the Heintzman but the production people at Assault are being very tight lipped.
Long Live The Dirty Sac! Sacramento Skate Damage Rick Winsor deck is in the works. Pictured here is the original that started it all.
