In speedboarding, there are few absolutes.The “gnarliest downhill”, the “fastest course”, the “best road”…these are all subjective measurements when it gets down to it.“Highest Speed” is different.The quest for who can and does go the very fastest isn’t about finish lines, railing a corner or made-for-tv illusions, but all about using gravity, technique, the right equipment and brass balls to run up the speedometer while standing on a skateboard.On October 20 & 21, 2007, the eyes of the speedboarding world will be on Teutonia, Brasil, where event organizers will setup a speedtrap to “Guinness Book Standards” and Gary Hardwick’s record will likely be officially eclipsed on that now famous hill...
Colorado'sanswer to Teutonia.
In the meantime, others pursue speed their own way, and in their own backyards.Recently, Silverfish and the skateboarding world have been blown away by a series of reports, videos and photos sent in by Brent “Dubester” Dubendorff and Kevin “K-Rimes” Reimer as they visited a relatively unknown track in Colorado’s high country that may be even faster than the Brazilian road.Dubester recorded GPS data well over 70mph and called up K-Rimes:“Get down here!” was all it took…
You may have seen the photos and the videos in the forums(don’t worry, they’re coming at you, again!), but we thought you’d like to read what Dubester and K-Rimes have to say about the days spent breaking new (unofficial) records, what it’s like to skate that fast and what the hell they were thinking…

So, we went to Maryhill and nearly forgot about ASR. Was that real recent? Y'all are persistent, we'll give you that. Here's the second half of our walkthrhough at the September ASR:
The Silverfish ASR Tour, Part2
One of the calmer moments. Seriously.
So when we last left you in our photo tour of September’s ASR, we’d shown you a few boards, some trucks, several nice young ladies in various stages of action sports uniforming and a few kooky products.Now, it’s time to continue our tour of the Big Show and to include a detour or two for some extra-curricular fun. Don't be expecting vast displays of barely-clad flesh this time, though. No, no...your momma called and told us to cut that stuff out. This time, we'll stick to the facts, as few as they may be...
