hah you beat me. thanks for reading the materials.
I know that open is well open Just didn’t think I needed to specifically mention it is all
Also to be fair I did read everything in this topic/post but just didn’t click the links. Interesting to see that euc is more popular with women though since the one thing I didn’t read is all the results/ winners so I missed that bit of info.
ah, forgive me. we’ve had a few people conclude if there’s a women’s, then the other one is the men’s. so i’ve gotten that part of the question a bit. just not from you this time.
the stuff above in the thread was last feb winners, someone asked about before the event.
yesterday’s winners still need a post. they did hit instagram tho.
yah. no worries. just complementing @ARCTIC
Awesome shots! That 4wd SRB looks beeeeaaaasssst
That’s awesome. Looks like Ruxx is fast but Brady is smooth and smooth is fast. Ruxx seems to suffer a lot more wobbles. Damn, interesting.
there were some interesting bumps on the track. taken at speed if you pick the right line you get through a lot smoother. pick the wrong one… and you’re dealing with it wobbling around and slowing down.
Yes it is.
as @jack.luis put it, EUC is having its moment, ESK8 had its moment back in the boosted days. But i think we can become a permanent force.
I always let them know that the fastest time was set by a board
Yeah I noticed on Brady’s on board footage there was more dirt on the track than I would’ve thought. So, I can only imagine also having to dodge that too and going at high speeds. Especially if it gets thrown on track from other events.
The track was cleaned up and then also hand swept. but I think that turn 2 somehow got a lot more debris on it. if you took it wider than right at the apex you slid. Which i very much do in that video. it’s annoying because most of the time i warmed up and in qualifiers i didn’t do that wide.
Ah so that’s you in second there in the beginning? Yeah I can see that slide out now, wondered what happened there. Damn gotta be frustrating.
The new meta in downhill skateboarding is actually adding weights under the board to help with drifting and stability.
I think it definitely makes more sense to categorize based off weight rather than gender imo.
Wish I could have made it out, crazy how many more EUC riders there were than ESK8.
Like a battery?
