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...)

Under stripes of high clouds, the Maryhill Loops Road will be the scene for the IGSA World Cup race today, and it looks to be a really fast day. Yesterday, the qualifiying speed for every class improved. It's only going to get better. This is a short report, with a few photos. Check out the forums and galleries for a lot more.
The qualifying on Friday was a long process, that puts racers on the course at one-minute intervals...a steady stream of speedboarders, luges, gravity bikes and inliners coming by, one after the other in a solitary run for top qualification in their class. On Thursday, the speedboarders had been led by Mischo Erban and Kevin Reimer. On Friday, the grid was reversed, meaning that Reimer and Erban would be the last two skateboarders down the hill.
First Day of Qualifying:Mischo Erban, Matthias Lang, John Fryer, Tobias Wohrle and McIntrye are Fastest!
96 speedboarders, more than two dozen luge racers, a smattering of Inline DH racers and a few Gravity Bikes spent Thursday in the first round of qualifying for the IGSA World Cup at Maryhill.More will arrive tomorrow for more excellent weather and fast runs on a butter-smooth hill, but they missed a great day of racing.The morning featured multi-racer freerides, and then qualifying began after lunch.Mike McIntyre rolled his 3/4 faired Gravity Bike for the fastest run of the day for anyone:3:01.269’, a full ten seconds faster than Mischo Erban’s TQ run!Everyone was fast, nobody got hurt and the townspeople came out in droves to meet the athletes during a reception and autograph signing at the local McDonald’s.
