Not all skate shirts are black! Check out the Silverfish Gear Page . There are new men's, women's and kids' shirts! (Some are even black.)
We're using "spreadshirt", so you order straight from them. Dig through the listings and you'll find some classic 'Fish designs, including shirts with art taken from member Ryan's art-pen drawings. Check back for new designs, as we prepare to release the Fall Line (soon as Armani signs off...)
One of the most exciting developments of the year is that the French Commission Nationale Descente(CND) has decided to join the IGSA so that French downhill events will receive IGSA World Cup Series points. The CND is a national sports federation that is actually backed by the French government! For years, the French downhill scene has been one of the strongest on the planet and the IGSA is very excited to be working with the CND.
Look fast? Floyd Landis bonked while climbing it in the '06 Tour. Will Seigrist break 100kph descending it?
This race report comes to us from Riley "RJ" Meehan, the 15-year old, multi-discipline gravity racer from Southern California on his first IGSA European racing circuit.
Åre, Sweden, the site of the 2007 World Cup Ski events, showed its colors for the 2006 IGSA World Cup event when riders from 15 countries converged in the small mountain town for the race. Monday practice started promptly, after a more-or-less organized riders meeting in the Åre Mountain Games town square. It was a nice change to have practice start at 4 PM instead of earlier in the morning, because it gave lots of time to go around, check out the town, and meet other interesting riders.
Practice was set from 4 PM to 10 PM because, if you didn’t know, the sun Doesn’t set until 10 PM and it’s still light outside past midnight! Pretty much the perfect place for a bunch of gravity junkies to have a race and party all night! Petter Österling, the event organizer, informed the riders that the two buses were here to take everyone to the hill, and without much ado, a caravan of riders were heading to the location of the race course.
