can i just interject into this thread and say that it's really cool that you guys are all so passionate about this?! i'm glad there's leaders like you fellas in this sport to get all the rest of us excited about all the different aspects of longboarding.
special thanks to brian from earthwing for creating my baby that is the superglider...
ps final note: apparently my buddy jay (from mn) met the guy who owns/makes eastside longboards the other day in portland...sweet
I'll be looking for a location sometime soon. I have a gps and I have topped out at about 17 mph on an aparently flat road. One thing that really helps if you're a pusher is to stretch every day. The more flexible your legs are the longer your stride. With pushing accelleration only occurs when your foot is on the ground, so the longer and more often your foot is on the ground the faster you will go.
this sounds awesome. I'm a distance runner first and a boarder second. i've clocked 4:32 mile on the track last year. I might have to try this challenge some time during my off season. Although I've never clocked out my top pushing speed.

Is there a wind allowance? A person could find a flat area where the wind blew as a tailwind at different times of the day, and take their runs accordingly.
