Enter the world of downhill skateboard racing on the most challenging road ever raced! In 2006 ,TimeShip Racing hosted the "North American Speed Board Championships" at the Maryhill Loops, along the Columbia River Gorge in eastern WA. This amazing course has speeds near 50 mph, 22 turns in 2.2 miles, many of them are banked and hairpin and seem made for racing. This unique road is preserved as the first paved road in the Pacific Northwest. The well placed overlooks make it possible to see nearly the entire race which is highly unusual and makes for very exciting viewing on our new DVD of the event.
Recently, we were contacted with an inquiry about a "Scandinavian longboard video". It turns out, there is a new DVD and it just might be the first such project to come out of Scandinavia. Here's the info, straight from the source:
Longing for Life
The DVD
With its small population the Scandinavian country of Norway is finally showing people where they are on a world scale. The buzz around the recent release of the movie ‘Longing for Life’ longboarding has been growing faster than Paris Hilton’s pasty collection or as my inbox might suggest, lack of. The Media love it. "Who are these people bombing our streets?" This summer the longboard crew has been attracting attention wherever they roll and have several times been documented on national TV and had articles on any action sport internet site worth looking at.
I recently had the opportunity to tour the Never Summer facility with Tracey and Tim Canaday, the team of brothers behind Never Summer Industries.They’ve been been bringing the world cutting-edge snowboards since 1991.With close ties to the materials industry, they seek every edge so their boards are the pinnacle of both performance and durability. In the last year, the Canadays have been finding application for the wealth of knowledge they’ve built up in their snowboard business to create a growing line of technically advanced longboards.
This ’07 Never Summer lineup is built on the same principles their snowboards have been built on for years:careful handcrafting to precision tolerances in their Denver, Colorado factory. Virtually everything is done in-house, and I managed to follow their new “Norad” model through every step from start-to-finish.
