Bad News Dept: Montreal's Top Challenge is Cancelled. The '08 edition of this multidisciplinary event has been cancelled, according to event organizers, who reported,"A new comitee to protect the Parc du Mont-Royal has convinced the city to stop allowing permits for events that last more than 24 hours..."
This reduces the major events for '08, leaving only Munnsville for large, East Coast races.
Randal is not just revitalizing their trucks, but also the boxes they ship them in. Randal Fuller and Breamo were talking it over and thought it might be cool to get some fresh flavor, so they called us up to propose this contest. They want a new look on their old box, so why not have some fun with it? It's all about the stoke!
The Great Randal Design-a-Box Contest
Here at Randal Trucks, in our never ending quest to constantly improve our line of trucks, we've decided to update the ubiquitous box we pack your trucks in. We're pleased to announce our "I'm On The Box" Contest. Here is your chance to immortalize yourself on the side of the Randal Trucks shipping boxes, and to see your image being shipped all over the world. We want killer images of you, skating on our trucks and looking good! Submit any action photo you've got to us for consideration and you might become the image printed on the side of all the Randal boxes!
The 2008 slalom racing season kicks off in a big way with the coming of spring. The 2008 Texas Cold Fusion Sizzler goes down March 29 and 30 in Austin, Texas. For the seventh straight year the Texas Outlaws put on this Prime event deep in the heart of Texas. Giant Slalom and dual hybrid racing fills the bill with some of the most fun nightlife available happening all over Austin after hours.
In our quest to bring you most comprehensive skateboarding coverage, there are times when we ask ourselves, “have we truly pushed the limits and uncovered what needs to be uncovered?” There is so much to write about and yet, we have so little time. In order to speed things up a bit, we decided to pre-announce our “Speedboarder of The Year” a little earlier this year. We feel this sudden, pre-announcement and pre-interview is within the spirit of the day and personifies speed which is what the award is about.
Without further delay, we now present to you, Concrete Wave’s exclusive interview with Don Wimmer, Speedboarder of the Year.
