It’s time for another look back at what has happened over the last two months. There’s really been some great stuff.

The ladies on the scene are shredding hard. We saw real battles for the podium at all the big races and more and more women are coming out of the woodwork and making a name for themselves. The She Ride at Maryhill has rapidly become an institution of an event.

The bulk of race season is now behind us, and it has been one of the best seasons in recent memory. The IDF has tried to move the game along, new events have popped up on the calendar, and the limits of how fast a skater can go have been pushed to a new level.

Take a look through and enjoy some of these fine tales.

So far the IDF has done three big things. They bought a new timing system, changed the rules slightly, and changed the world cup circuit.

Overall, I’m giving them a B+. The world cup tracks are better, some events were greatly improved, the others weren’t any worse than they were under the IGSA, and the rule changes were overdue and sensible.

The world cup circuit is better and more representative of downhill skateboarding as a whole. The IGSA circuit had only one event in North America, which is far and away the biggest scene in the world, and none in Canada. The IDF has three in North America, including one in Canada; one in Australia; two in Europe (and no Teolo, which is important); and two in South America. It’s more balanced and representative of the global skate scene, though I’d like to see an event in Asia next year.

The tracks are better under IDF. While it was great for downhill inline skating, Teolo was not a world-class track for skateboard racing. If it hadn’t been a world cup, no pro riders would have shown up to push out of the painfully slow corners. This year Whistler is the weakest track, and that’s only because the pavement is too rough to really grip and go fast through the hairpins. Meanwhile, Newton’s was gnarly, Angie’s Curves was crazy, Maryhill was Maryhill, Kozakov was super fun, and

Peyragudes was crazy fast. And not only were the tracks better, but we got to skate more at each event.

IDF events give riders more ride time on the hill. The fundamental trade-off at skateboard races is between fairness and ride time on the hill. The only truly fair method of seeding a racing bracket is to have timed qualifying runs, which takes away from freeride time. With the IGSA timing system, it took half the day to get one qualifying run at Maryhill. Racers would have to stand around in the sun for two or three hours waiting for their one run of the morning.

The IDF was determined to give riders more ride time on the hill, so they spent some serious cash on a Tag Heuer RFID timing system. When that new timing system worked (everywhere but Whistler and one run at Peyragudes), it allowed riders to get four qualifying runs in the time it used to take to get one and, in a neat bit of technological integration, it updated an online spreadsheet in real time with qualifying times and race finishes. This is a noticeable improvement in the skateboard racing experience for which the IDF deserves a great deal of praise.

(The new timing system is slightly less fair because fast riders can strategically draft slower riders, but the tradeoff is minor and easily dealt with by sending riders in order of their world ranking. Snap-lines

should be standard at every race to prevent false starts. Also note that riders get a couple pushes before the timing system starts, so track times were a little faster this year.)

The rule changes make sense. The protected position rule has been applied sensibly and fairly. Using wheels over the line for skateboard finishes was an obvious change that needed to be made. Disallowing bump drafting makes racing fairer and cleaner.

The new organization has been more transparent and approachable than

the IGSA. Under the old sanctioning body, I’d email Marcus Rietema about something like helmet rules or next year’s world cup schedule and get a noncommittal response to maybe one in three emails. With the IDF, I start a thread on their website and usually get a relatively meaningful response to my questions within a couple days. When I asked about next year’s world cup schedule, Lee sent me the criteria they use to select which events will be world cups. We haven’t seen any information about how they’ve spent the money they’ve collected, but that’s supposed to be

released at the end of the year. They haven’t been perfect, but the IDF is certainly an improvement.

If I’m disappointed in anything, it’s the low level of member participation in the IDF’s discussion forums.

It remains to be seen what happens with the financial disclosures and board voting, but I’m giving these dudes a cautious thumbs up.

We figured it was a good time to catch up with Elena Corrigall. She’s been lighting it up on the race circuit this year, and by the looks of it she’s only just begun to show us what she’s capable of.

Where are you and what are you up to right now?I’m currently driving back to Calgary after the Salt Spring Slasher on Salt Spring island this past weekend, and hitting some sick skate spots on the way!

You’ve been having some good success on the race circuit this season, what do you attribute that to?This year has been amazing. After having that first season of racing under my belt, and a winter long of parkade riding, this season I’ve been able to progress faster then I could ever have imagined! Skating for me has continued to be excessively more and more fun everyday since I started and I think that is what fuels my riding. The more confident I get in my riding, the faster and closer I can ride with other riders and the feeling that that brings is quite inexplicable. Another aspect of my past that I would attribute my riding to would be my previous training on the Junior National ice luge team. I believe that the hard work and persistence that I learnt helped me become the rider that I am today.

Rumor has it you were even thinking about the Olympics. Why’d you stop? Do you think downhill could make it to the Olympics someday?

I was on the Junior National ice luge team for four years, competing across North America and in Europe on the Junior World Cup circuit. At that point in time I had devoted my time to luge and was fortunate enough to forerun the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games. I had my eyes set on 2014, but after competing in my first downhill event (Danger Bay in 2012) my coaches told me that I needed to make a decision between the sports. As you can probably guess, I chose longboarding. Here I am today and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! Luge helped make my transition quite easy, having already been accustom to high speeds and the knowledge of lines through a corner. I really hope that one day longboarding can be a widely recognized sport and I do think that it has the potential to be an event in the Olympic Games or once again the X Games.

Women’s downhill skateboarding seems to really be heating up, where do you see it heading?More and more ladies are realizing that this sport is possible for women as well, and that we have a place in it. In such a male dominated sport, it’s awesome to see and experience women being able to compete with the men and give them a run for their money! I can’t wait for the women’s field to be as big as the men’s and have some of us ladies up on that open podium!

When you got picked up by Landyachtz, it was in a joint announcement including Riley. Is there anything you guys don’t do together or are you guys just a package deal all the time? What’s your experience been like being in a relationship with another downhill skater?I feel very fortunate that Riley and I got picked up by the same (super rad) company and have the opportunity to skate and travel the world together. I really couldn’t ask for anything more. Riley is probably my favorite person to skate down hills with; having someone to shred with who you fully trust their every

move makes skating pretty darn cool! I would definitely recommend skate dates to anyone who is looking for a way to connect!

What’s the scene like in Calgary these days?Calgary’s scene is unreal in my opinion. It’s hard to go to a skate spot and not see other riders already there. The scene consists of the ‘OG’ skaters, the CDH beer league (series of outlaws), the weekly Saturday Night Ride, Royal Board Shop’s weekly clinic and plenty of groms who shred extremely hard to top things off.

What are your plans for the rest of the season? And how about next year and beyond?In less than two weeks time I will be off to South America to do some racing and experience the scene and life in Peru, Colombia, and Brazil! Saying that I’m severely excited is still an understatement. After that it’s off to live in Australia for the winter and then back to Canada when springtime comes around again! It still feels like a fairytale but I absolutely can’t wait!

Spill the beans on the board design project you’ve been working on.I’m currently in the process of designing a board for spring 2014. There will finally be a board geared specifically towards female riders to fit our every need! A couple of key features to be excited about are a narrower foot platform to hold in those smaller feet and an optional rocket launcher attachment. (Just kidding about that last part.) Regardless, I’m excited to share some runs with the ladies on this board!


No place like home

words and photos Ari Chamasmany


And then suddenly, I felt like Dorothy from the Wizard of OZ, standing there at the top of that

infamous Malibu run. The follow car had its engine running, the anxiousness coursing through my veins. “Ain’t no place like home, eh?”, I recalled myself saying just before I batted my full face visor down, and pushed off into the hill. It’s interesting just how much you begin to appreciate where you’re from once you’ve been away for awhile. You see, the last few weeks have had me either on the road or in the air, and while I’m not complaining about that by any means (in fact quite the opposite), there is still, as Dorothy said, “no place like home”.

It’s interesting how we come to appreciate the aspect of “home” so much more once we’ve been away for awhile. That teen angst of my younger years always had me feeling like where I was at wasn’t anywhere I wanted to be. But now as I tip toe through my mid twenties, I’m beginning to see things a little differently. Looking at it more in-depth, I guess what I can really contribute my flighty feelings of youth to was the humdrum of the day to day. At times, we can all feel like we’re stuck, stagnant, or stationary. It’s in our nature to want to explore beyond the nest. But at the end of the day, sometimes home truly is where the heart is, at least for me anyway.

Blasting down runs in Malibu this past weekend left me thinking about just how special this home turf of mine truly is. How specifically unique of an environment this was to grow up in. But for that matter, what environment that one calls home isn’t truly unique in its own special way? As humans, we lust to explore, thirst for adventure. It’s that one super special aspect about our species that has taken us to the depths of the ocean and to the far reaches of space. To voyage, journey, roam, it’s woven into the very fibers of our DNA. So yes, get out there and absorb, contribute, see all the great things this great globe has to offer. But always remember, that at the end of the day, you can’t negate the innate connection we all share with home. That special bond with the place where the journey all began. And while we all yearn to explore, experience, and share, there is most definitely an undeniable truth to Dorothy’s words, “there’s no place like home”.

Travels with Switzer: Eight unforgettable days in the Philippineswords and photos Patrick Switzer


This year Free Energy Coop hosted the 4th annual Visayan Longboard Trilogy or “VLT”. From my eye opening experience last year, I knew an adventure was in store as this series of events is unlike any skate trip in the world. The fast paced island hopping, mango eating, hammock sleeping, white sandy beach, blue ocean swimming, waterfall jumping adventure is something special and full of energy!

Starting off with the structure, the skate trip is ten days long with three races on two different islands in small towns and rural areas. The tour is the largest gathering of Filipinos from all regions of the Philippines, and now has grown to attract riders from Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, three this year from Sweden, and a Canuck. This counts to roughly 120 young energetic competitors.

The weather is very hot, sleeping in hammocks is the standard way of lightweight camping, and motorcycles are the preferred mode of transportation. You’ll be surprised to find out how overwhelmingly kind and hospitable the people are. Being accompanied by a local, even the most deprived areas still feel safe. Tasty home-cooked cultural meals are available all over with sweet breads being your substitute in the mornings and late nights. The best yellow mangoes in the world are from Cebu, which make pit stops all the more pleasing. Seafood is extremely fresh with shrimp, octopus, oysters, squid and many types of fish. And the most obvious thing a visitor welcomes is that everything is very inexpensive. For example in rural areas you can eat a good meal for $2, an hour long massage for $7, or a flight to another island for $40!

For a quick history and geography lesson, the Philippines has been invaded by the Spanish, Americans and Japanese, so in time it has created a harmonious mix of cultures giving the people diverse faces. Spanish has been a large influence to the many different languages considering the country consists of 7107 islands. Fortunately for travellers, the second language is English.

For such short people you’ll find it humorous that the Americans established basketball as one of the most common sports with small and large stadiums in every town. Everyone has a basketball net no matter how make-shift.

You’ll also quickly realize that just about anything can happen in the Philippines. It is a considerably unregulated place with a very wide grey area as to what is allowed. For instance, driving is safe and courteous for the most part, but a two lane road turns

into a highway of bicycle taxis, cars, buses and motorcycles all passing each other creating six lanes of mayhem somehow without ever colliding! I laugh every time I see a family cruising along on a motorcycle as dad drives with two kids squeezed between mom and a baby.

The Filipinos are extremely resourceful people. They always seem to find a way to make things work with whatever they have. They leave nothing to waste, except for the endless supply of plastic which no one knows what to do with.

For us skateboarders we can be happy with the recent calm and strong political structure and a growing economy for it is easy to see after just a year how much is being put back into roads all over rural areas such as the island Siquijor.

Flying in late at night, the locals wasted no time in leaving the city and driving through the night to the south of Cebu to a

new found skate spot they were excited to show. Dandoy and Epos had been scouting roads since Dandoy arrived home from Greener Pastures. We woke with the sun and drove up a road I didn’t think possible in the Philippines.

They had struck gold. After two runs, almost a set of wheels, and a kilo of mangoes we moved on to the first race on the island of Siquijor.

The island is said to have dark mystical past of witches and black magic. In reality the island is a relaxed place where many Filipinos and tourists travel for the white sandy beaches, clear blue ocean, and beautiful landscapes. With a small group we made a motorcycle tour around the island making stops for mangoes and cliff diving! It is amazing to see how so many people can live relatively in the middle of nowhere with simple lives, and be very happy!


This year the first race was run during holidays of Holy Week, bringing the majority of people to the most exciting race location, whereas previous years had been less attended. The qualifying day was run on a new and different road, giving riders the opportunity or difficulty of being as fast as possible on less practiced road. With only one or two practice runs, riders either qualified by basically ‘on-sighting’ the road. Afterwards the group parted ways with the majority going to swim in the series of beautiful rainforest waterfalls. What a way to cool off and relax after an already relaxed day of riding!

Race day went as most races do. The Filipinos use a randomized way to setup heats, giving riders the opportunity of riding with more people! Dandoy and I had a surprising amount of runs together and fought each other for the lead, trading off many

times. A strong kick and a weight advantage doesn’t mean much when small, strong Filipinos are on the hunt, waiting for the chance to prove themselves. A big crash in the men’s finals changed the possible positions of four riders of six. Dandoy Tongco, the Philippines top rider and also a rider in Greener Pastures Offshore took 1st place!

The day after the race, more serious talks began about hosting a clinic the next day before the second race. Organization of two coaches for each of three groups for advanced, intermediate and beginners (A, B, C) were chosen who together could speak the Filipino dialects and English. A list of skill requirements were written as a guide to what a rider should know to graduate to the next skill level group.

The location was until then the secret road of my first day’s session. The road is not one to underestimate and therefore a road to push everyone’s skill level. Thus it was secret for a reason. Wanting to open up the possibility of skating this road to the community, we decided this was best done by teaching small groups the skills necessary and slowly guiding them down the seven kilometre road.

The day started by verifying who was the best fit for which skill level group mostly by riders deciding on their own, then testing simple skills to place them within the group they could learn the best from. Each rider started with the most basic training to establish that each person had each particular skill that they should know. As the coach continued through, they could teach on a person by person basis to keep pushing the rider to learn more and more until it was apparent they should move onto the next skill level group with a new coach. Just down the hill (7km run) the next group would be having their lesson. As the day went, we started at the top, session’d corners and sections and made our way to the bottom. In extreme heat this isn’t exactly easy, especially with limited shade and water supply, but in usual Filipino style we made do with what we had and made the most of it!

By the end of the day riders learned what it meant to know their limits and judge a situation by learning the line before adding speed. They learned important lessons of how to setup into a slide or corner through body position, body mechanics and controlling their momentum.

The coaches and riders themselves, impressed with how far they had progressed in one day, realized how important a session like this could be and decided they’d bring the idea back to their

communities across Asia! Personally I look forward to teach more in this style while traveling internationally. A lot of great lessons can be learned, inconsistencies worked on, and overall balance in ones riding can only help.

The second race in the VLT series was only a ten minute drive from our clinic location! The next day riders loaded up in whatever mode of transportation would get them up to the race hill.

Boljoon is a narrow road hugging the edge of a steep decline with nice pavement in what seems a paradise of palm trees as far as you can see. Riders are eliminated by one-on-one heats making every move a challenge of strategy. The crash corner is safetied by a row of rice husk bags and a meter high net to


catch the fallen rider from flying down the 10+ meter decline, making for a great show of “hold on for your life” as you fall! This is where riders, spectators and local people pile into the small section of flat land on the corner.

Most the day while not riding is spent hiding from the sun. Thus the race is held very relaxed and slow with loser brackets with the chance to move back into the race.Epos, an OG of the Philippines longboard scene, played his cards right and took the race at the line! With his wife and son watching it made for a legendary day.

After the race the group made the journey to a mountain top resort where we were served buffet, had awards and recapped the events so far, giving thanks to all the people who made their way from across Asia to VLT!

We also gave away Orangatang InHeats as prizes to three riders who were hand-picked by their clinic instructors as the riders who learned the most during the day.

Unfortunately I had to make my way to Japan and miss the last race of VLT (which Dandoy again took 1st place). But before I left, Jukka gave me the chance to visit the home of GrupoNopo in Cebu.

I was told time and time again what it meant for Dandoy and the Filipino community to have been given the opportunity to be in Greener Pastures Offshore. Understanding this from any young riders perspective, I had my breath taken away when seeing where these boys came from and knowing the accomplished, hard working, beautiful people they are. Filipinos are absolutely the most resourceful, enthusiastic and lighthearted people I’ve come to know. In Dandoy’s situation, he’s earned everything that has come to him, and has been a good man doing his part to help his family along the way!



LOOKING FOR BIGFOOT: THE INAUGURAL PIKES PEAK DOWNHILLwords and photos Jon Huey


The weekend of September 7th in Colorado a downhill skateboarding race was held on Pikes

Peak for the first time. Eighty-four racers registered for this IDF sanctioned two-day event which consisted of one day of practice and qualifying and the next day the race. The course was 1.5 miles long with sweeping turns and at least six major corners on a steep grade. The peak is over 14,000 feet, but the race course starts at over 11,000 feet. So, in addition to the highly technical high speed course, racers had to deal with the lack of oxygen at that elevation. If you want to ride it, I’d plan on attending this race next year.

Though the top speed wasn’t 65mph as was rumored, the course was still fast and furious. Speaking of which, the new Fast and Furious was being filmed on the mountain. We shared some space in the parking lot at the top of the course. They had something like eight stunt cars to drive around for the film.

Before any riding started, I got to hang out with OG downhill skater and friend Rob McKendry, owner of Park Hill Skates in Park Hill, CO. He was the commentator for the event on race day.

After a few practice runs in the morning, qualifying commenced in the afternoon. Local Calvin Staub was the top qualifier with AJ Haiby and Zak Maytum close behind.

The next day was the race. The top 62 qualifiers were set in the brackets. Those who didn’t make the the list got to race a repechage race and the top two finishers would move on to the final 64. During the finals of the repechage race in the first corner, Michael Harrington scorpioned into the bails and Justin Dubois drifted to the inside of the road and tumbled on his back as his board tumbled straight for me. I just barely jumped out of the way and avoided getting smacked by Dubois’ board. Dubois ran downhill, grabbed Harrington’s board and finished second to go on to the round of 64 racers.

When it was all said and done, Zak Maytum won and took home $2500 for it.

Who could have predicted that an experimental road built in 1911 and located in an obscure part of south central Washington would one day be widely regarded as one of the most revered locations for the sport of downhill skateboarding? For that matter, who could have predicted that riding a skateboard down a hill at speeds of up to 45 or 50mph would have been something anyone would have ever imagined themselves doing previously? It’s a romantic sport this one is, a soul consumed by wanderlust. A willingness to travel to these obscure locations in pursuit of a new thrill, an envelope to be pushed. Maryhill may just be a small stretch of noodle-y tarmac tucked away in an ambiguous corner of the world, but to some it’s where boundaries are pushed, stereotypes are broken, and dreams are realized.

The event was the 2nd Annual Maryhill SheRide, a culmination of the world’s best downhill skateboarders of the fairer sex. Originally concocted by the Maryhill Ratz main man Deano Ozuna, the gathering was devised as a way to get more girls out and riding down the infamous hill’s numerous high speed curves. So while the goal was participation, the resulting occurrence ended up being a spectacle of the more ground breaking variety. Skateboarding specifically has always been a primarily male-centric sport, but what the Maryhill SheRide has stood to represent is something more than just an all girls downhill event. It stands to exist as a celebration of feminine achievement within a board-borne world, long occupied mostly by men.

So on this specific occasion, Maryhill welcomed her ladies back to the twists and turns. Another year of relishing the banked corners and perfect pavement of an obscure road, in an obscure place. The hiss of rolling urethane, the blur of colored helmets, the high of sticking lines. The SheRide isn’t just a skateboard event, but more a celebration of a shattered stereotype. The proof that the sport of skateboarding isn’t a gender-centric world, the mark of a moment where males should take pride in their sisters of shred. Maryhill is therefore a high water mark within our sport, a place where goals are achieved and dreams fulfilled. A corner of the world worth visiting merely to prove to yourself that when we have confidence in ourselves and our abilities, anything is possible. The ladies of the mighty Maryhill had come home once again.

An enormous thanks goes out to Deano Ozuna for putting this fantastic event together for the second year in a row, the Maryhill Rats, all of the course works who shuttled and stacked bales, Loaded Boards, Orangatang Wheels, Skate[Slate], Metal Bee Artifacts, and everyone who made the journey and contributed to the overall vibe and good times. It was an amazing weekend and we can’t wait to do it again next year!

I really enjoy riding skateboards down hills. I don’t race because I don’t like it.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m a great fan of skateboard racing. It’s fun to watch and root for my favorite riders, and everyone likes to see someone walk away from a spectacular crash. I just don’t want to do it anymore.

Until recently, downhill skateboarding and racing were the same thing. If you rode downhill, you raced. I was deep into downhill skateboarding, so I went to races and competed, but the racing was never that important to me.

I decided to stop racing earlier this year, after Maryhill. Entry fees and wheels just seemed like a waste of my sponsors’ money when I’m clearly not a competitive racer, and racing is a bad use of my time when I could do more good behind a camera.

While I definitely enjoy skating fast and tight with my friends, riding my skateboard through corners at 50mph is dangerous enough without random strangers trying to pass me in every corner. I don’t want to win badly enough to be willing to crash—I’m more “let’s just have a fun run and make it down in one piece” than “I’d rather crash and get fourth than go through clean and get second.”

Which brings me to the next thing: I don’t like the competition. I was initially attracted to skateboarding because there are no rules and it is fundamentally noncompetitive. You can do whatever you want with the board. Nobody wins or loses. However you want to skate, that’s cool. Style is subjective and being

MY EXCUSE: NOTES ON NOT RACINGgood just means you can do what you want, how you want.

With the exception of the equipment, racing has nothing to do with those things that initially attracted me to skateboarding. It is fundamentally competitive and governed by a set of written rules (those rules are often broken by top riders, who get away with tactics that would disqualify most riders). Success at a high level depends on a willingness to ride aggressively and risk injuring myself and other riders.

My style doesn’t really lend itself to racing. Some folks like to haul maximum ass down every hill they skate. I am not one of them. I’d rather carve and keep my hands up.

Besides, racing is crazy hard now. While I can usually keep up with the good dudes, that certainly doesn’t mean I’m as good as they are. It’s much easier to be a good photographer than a good racer, and the camera gives me a good excuse to hang out.

I still get to travel and skate closed roads with hay—there are more freeride events nowadays and some race organizers will let me skate on the practice days for a reduced entry fee—but I don’t have to stand on the starting line hating my life.

I just don’t want to do it anymore.
