Wefunk will move to San Diego

Slalom and Downhill skateboard racing contests will be shown on ESPN

Cialis will be the cure for cancer

They will find Michael Jackson's nose. (Not under his paperboy's bed like first predicted)

George Bush comes out of the closet for Dick Cheney
Photographic evidence is uncovered proving that Hillary Clinton is actually a man
Red Bull becomes an epidemic as millions mutate and grow wings
oh...and...
longboarders are labeled haters because of the massive amounts of self promoting and bashing of all other skaters and recreationists done on silverfish (hahaha this one should spark some arguments =P)
Skateboarding's mainstream image fades as skateboarding returns to it's roots
Speedboarding on the East Coast EXPLODES with the help of the promoting done by various crews and 2 legit races held in Connecticut and Northern Virginia

(still building decks ... but less and with new knowledge I acquire in my day job then.)
(just my hope!)

- Toyota Motorsports finally finds a way to use their leftover carbon and to keep their composite workers busy in the quieter weeks during the F1 circuit.

- my son starts to ride on his own and wants a shortboard for the local miniramp.

- more longboard "labels" will emerge, printing asia-produced decks.

- lots of shortboard brands will hop on that train to profit from that market as well and compensate for their losses in their native market.

- more "engineered" skateboard designs will emerge but only from small builders looking for a niche market.

- downhilling is getting bigger and will get a better public acceptance.

- small communities will close their roads every 2nd weekend for a few hours to attract downhillers and promote their village as sports friendly.

I dunno Cat ... That's a pretty big gun you got there. On the other hand, the photo of you in the Halloween section was pretty spetacular.

me and my teammates, boris and marco who organized the european championships, are in contact with the mayor of the small village of Insul where the ECs were.

if you then make a deal everybody might profit from you might see things happening.
(eg. paying one of the farmers for shuttle service and getting after session catering from the local butcher and beverage vendor for an organized bbq).

people and officials were very pleased by how the ECs just brought good vibes and good, clean fun. (as opposed to a car rally the year before which was noisy, dirty and with a lot of pollution.)

Every slalom racer, except for maybe the top racers, will all get Fyre trucks. The top racers will still ride Radikal.

Racer X will come out with his own slalom wheel

Mainstream skateboarding will slowly fad away, and wheels and decks will get progressively bigger.

i will podium for GS at Nationals

i'm going to search for this post at the end of next year, and see how much of it is true. i bet most of it is.

SheeeYeeeAAhhh......... like that'll ever happen.....

The Toyota F1 motor sports prediction though, I can get behind that in a big way. Best wishes for you and yours in '07 Alex and please send me your business card when you get them.

As for my '07 predictions? Going to be a busy and interesting year.

Happy New Year 'fishes - see you on the other side.
