Incredible racing Sunday. Due to the wind/rain half the heats were very fast, half were very slow. Overall, it seems the quality of riding/setups has increased a lot in the last couple of years. There was quite a few times where riders were coming into Cowzer's
very hot, and exiting
very hot. Not a lot of braking.
A few other points of interest I noticed.
1) A
shitload of Aeras (considering how new they are)
2) Kelly was running Randals
3) K-rimes surfing Cowzers standing up with a huge side/tailwind (that was sick)
4) Switzer cutting rain grooves into his O-tangs whilst coasting down the hill near the loading area
5) Mischo's trucks (Fyres, I believe)
6) Chappy's wheels
7) A shitload of Kahas (no surprise)
8 ) A shitload of Randals (no surprise)
9) Meiners' board (Subsonic)
10) John Huey getting killer shots (can't wait to see 'em)
11) A killer 313 Invader with GOG big brothers (I think that's what they're called)
12) Mischo's wheels
13) Mischo's board
14) A few slalom boards going down the hill, very fast
15) Cindrich had a booth there, so I stopped in to talk and buy A Cindy plate. Awesome guy, and the quality of his machining is insane. First time I've seen his boards and Randal-compatible trucks in person, and I was very impressed. Dude needs to quit his
real job and cater to the skater.
