i love how people misinterpret this race
first of all its not a downhill race
so there is no need for any fancy setup just bring any board kick ur hardest and never skate again if piks beats you

Test yourself... even though you'll want to drop dead by the time you finish... its still fun!

Im going just to have fun and meet everyone, the race is just a plus.

Last year I nearly got heat stroke trying to keep up with Adam Colton.

I'm gonna just chill and skate at my own pace this year.

Matt F. and I just did a loop around the park this afternoon ( in cough, cough -- 38 minutes -- cough, cough). The pavement in the upper section of the park -- that they were in the process of repaving near the end of last year -- is still in almost perfect condition. Unfortunately, they haven't repaved the other 75% of the pavement in the park. The pavement located near the bottom half, west-side of the park is in REALLY bad shape. Unfortunately, this bad section is also near the end of the race, so you are going to have to save a little extra energy to push through all that nastiness.

I'm so stoked for this!

I did the loop 4 times last weekend. 24 miles!

Last year Kaspar did it in like 18; so get on that treadmill.

**Jam** · 03-31-2008 04:44 PM

Yeah (lol), everyone get ready to step it up.

**Ian** · 03-31-2008 07:33 PM

18? No way i'm winning, but I'm not there to win, i'm just gonna go to skate and have fun.

**Captain Matt** · 03-31-2008 08:20 PM

i got this... i'm down to the 3 minute mile

**Jam** · 03-31-2008 08:41 PM

I think it would be awesome to see 5 or 6 guys under 20 and 7 to 10 guys under 25. I am aiming for sub 25.

I'm hoping to go 1 min / year (of my age) this time out. S'doable.

**MJKam11** · 03-31-2008 09:46 PM

I gotta start running again, get back in shape. It sucks that I have no crusing deck, just a Nosewalker (15LBS) Evo (12LBS) and drifter (haven't weighed it, but its light), and its weird for me to push fast on a slide deck. Time to get in shape.

yes, but can you do six of them back to back?

**Raoul Duke** · 04-01-2008 06:48 AM

This race aint flat by any means, get ready for some hardcore uphill pushing. I remember passing RBriggs on the uphill, he didnt look too good. Just playin!

If i didnt drop my glove in the beginning and have to skate back, I might have placed top 10, instead of top 20.

I have a feeling a vermonter is gunna take it this year, all we do is skate up-hill
