JULY 9th Carlsbad skate park

Skated carlsbad skatepark bowls tonight. It was great switched boards to my PPS Gary Faddel with red kryptos 65's. I am slowly improving got a one wheeler next grinds.
Saw this one Kid who tore the place up he milked speed in every corner. Reminded me of my old friend Shane Haliday ditch skating or Ricky Stiles skating a pool.
I also met Tiger Williams he gave me some set up tips on running the pump house GS. He said they run it at 40 mph, I will give it a try friday or saturday night to see if I can make it down with out dragging my foot.
If not so what when you get to be 47 you have to know your limitation. If I can't do the hill I will watch the race and volunteer to shag cones at the August 23rd race.If I can get the day off work.

Animal Chin through the Gauntlet of 10000 cone bike trails

I did some mileage the past 2 days, Monday I did 17 miles Monday.
I did 16 miles today in 2 hours 13 minutes non stop.

Now your all scratching your head asking what does the title have to with
long distance pumping and pushing skateboarding.

Let's start off with monday I woke up at 5:00 am and caught the 101 bus north to Oceanside to catch the Sprinter lite rail train to Escondido so I could see with my own eyes the east to west rail trail bike lane.
I found out the trail only went 6.66 miles… Continue

Terry Trimble freestyle clip video

My brother John who is a great video editor and a better skateboarder than I. Made me a Clip video of my old CASL freestyle skateboarding contest runs.I asked to use a song I have listened to since I was in Middle school
Cat Stevens Peace Train I always wanted to skate to it back then in my contest runs.

But with magic of computer and video editing and thanks to John he made my dream come true today in the virtual world. Now days I can't skate like that because of arthritis in my left ankle can… Continue

Back to Basics with my new Siesmic MEG board complete

I have never really been really excited to get a package in the mail till today.
I ordered a new Siesmic Meg Board complete and from the photos of the board on the Seismic web site the graphics looked great on the board pictured on the site. Being a artist also that was one reason to buy it. But the real reason was to get to try out the Siesmic trucks. I have probley rode on or owned every truck from the 1970's to present. You name them I have rode them, or tried them out at a contest. The truck… Continue

The thing is, the little twit cop that stopped me has a napoleon complex. A little guy with a gun is bigger than a big guy with a skateboard. The way I was treated by these assholes was deplorable. They'll get theirs. :)

I know a way to make your downhill park a dream. In the back country of Deluz between Fallbrook and Ranch california.
Their are a lot of Avocado grove have become infected with root rot. Some of these are so steep on the hills you can't build house
and they are large about 25 to 50 acres. The large groves have oiled or paved roads and are terraces. Where the dead avocado trees are. Now if a bunch of skateboarder got together purchased the land and cleared the grove. Paved the terraces you would have a down hill skate park with a road to no where. Fence it off and allow members to only have a key to the gate.
You could also put a Picnic area at the bottom for families of the skateboarders.

At 10:50pm on July 22, 2008, Chris Yandall said…: Hi Guy, I'm really thinking that this technique of switching pushing feet, and stance while traveling long distances is getting to be my mantra for flowing meditation workouts. When done properly with mixing moves and constant pace changes, you just can't help but stay in decent shape.

I haven't drummed up a world record flatland speed trap contest but I know where to have it. I'm leaning to find some investors that might find a downhill skateboard park(chairlifts to the top) as of late. If you know of anyone with deep pockets itching to put up a progressive downhill park, I have some ideas on paper that might stir up some interest.

I'm enjoying exploring a level of skateboarding that never interested me before. It does a great job in helping me stay a decent level of health. Flatland skateboarding at self-generated speeds is a huge area of unchartered skateboard territory for me. It's more than just skating long long distances. It's more of skating with a balanced approach for even muscle wear and tear while jamming to some tunes.

I guess I'll have to keep skating like a crazed spider with wheels under it's feet. I am on the edge of falling forward with each stroke and a stoke to get on down the line.

At 9:45pm on July 19, 2008, John Trimble said…: yeah, the inline skateboard was pretty good cross training for snowboarding, surfing and even obtaining greater balance for skateboarding. It helped me to strengthen muscles in areas you normally wouldn't get worked on with regular skateboarding. I think it was mainly good for recreation and something different. not really made for doing too much hot dogging on, even though myself and others that were on the team were still pushing the limits on the board.

At 10:08am on July 19, 2008, John Trimble said…: Thanks for the invite and the props on everything. If it wasn't for you, my interests may have went a different direction and I never would have met all the pro skaters and got to skate with a bunch of them like i did. Hats off to you for being a great support in the sport for a lot of people.

At 3:10pm on July 18, 2008, Lynn Cooper said…: Hey Terry! I hope you are doing well. I am still living out here in Colorado. It's been about 15 years now. I am still skating strong. We have a full demo team, as well as a long enclosed trailer with ramps. I sponsor several top Colorado skaters on my skatelegends.com team and we enjoy touring around, performing demos, teaching skatecamps... Every year, we just keep growing and going! I hope your life has been going well. I am glad to hear that both you and John are still skating! Take Care and keep skating! - Lynn Cooper

Nude bowl

G turn at a CASL freestyle skateboard contest
I competed for quite a few years in CASL and was head judge and Sonja go to person if she needed something done. I made it to factory sponsored my very last Sponsors were Kryptonics thanks to Jack Smith, Cutter Trucks thanks to Dave Dominy, Vans shoes thanks to Everett and Beetle Rosecrans were my last sponsors also F.U. Skatez.
But I did the flow team deal for awhile before I picked up my final sponsors. I was on Vision street wear and Everett Rosecrans quit and took us all to Vans. Then the Tracker flow team thanks to Chris "Sarge ' Carter and Buddy Carr. Gullwing flow team also. I forget the name of the team manager he was between Jim Goodrich and Randy Jansen at gullwing The Assault Skateboard flow list thanks to Scott Ricks who ran the company and team. I also formed a ragtag Team of freestylers after the larger manufacturers dropped them all just before NSA finals. It was called F.U. skatez or aka Freestyle Underground Skatez. I had board made by madrid they all broke so I got Dave at Uncle Wiggley to make me a 5 ply titanium stringer and wider board. That was great if you did moving trick like me . Then I ran out of money for my Charity Freestyle team as Shaun Sheffey called it. It was also really funny at nationals to have the announcer say F.U. Skatez. he Finally said who the hell was F.U. Skatez.
I was also Proud of my bother John he got 9th place at his first NSA freestyle Finals he was only 10 years old at that finals he took down a lot big name freestylers.
Then Traditional freestyle lasted one more year I tried to save it with three PSL freestyle contests .All the pros showed up for the first one .I penned a article in power edge magazine about it. Rick Kosick shot the photos.
Then we let it die and let flat ground street skating be the new freestyle.
