By Monty Little Were No Doubt the Best on Your Block efore the days of the ollie, you measured the skill level of a skateboarder by how many 360s he (or she) could do. As Bspinning required balance, power, focus and technique, it became the benchmark of a skater’s ability. If you could do 10, you By Monty Little were no doubt the best on your block. Twenty to 30, the best in the town. Then there’s that elite group who can spin over 100, who are continually raising the bar, striving to be the very best. Vic Ilg, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, comes to mind. Vic spun 112 consecutive 360s at the EXPO 86 TransWorld Skateboard Championships. Then there’s Richy Carrasco from Garden Grove, California, who holds the Guinness World Record for “The most number of continuous 360 degree revolutions on a skateboard” – 142 spins, set on August 11, 2000. I know that seems unattainable, and yet the unofficial world record is 163, set way back in 1978 by Russ Howell. Is there another skater out there who will join this elite group, and perhaps even set a new record, having their name immortalized by Guinness? Now in its 62nd year of publication, Guinness World Records (formerly the Guinness Book of Records, and called the Guinness Book of World Records in the U.S.) holds a world record itself, as the best-selling copyrighted book of all time. (It’s also the most frequently stolen book from public libraries in the United States.) More than 1,000 skateboarding world records have been set over the years, from the laughable Otto the Bulldog, who recently set the record for the longest human tunnel traveled through by a dog on a skateboard, to Danny Way’s breathtaking Highest Air record, flying more than 25 feet above a quarterpipe lip. Let’s find out what it takes to be a world record holder, as we interview four skaters who have “raised the bar” and set Guinness World Records. 52 | CONCRETE WAVE - SPRING 2016 Bob Mohr, 1976.

When did you first learn how to do a handstand on a skateboard? Russ: In my elementary school years, my mom would take the cushions off the couch, putting them on the floor so I could practice. It took me almost six months to learn how to do a handstand. Then one day while skateboarding, it seemed only natural to try to do one on my skateboard. The thrill of adding motion to being upside down was magical. Then in 1975 I started putting them into my freestyle routines, which One of Russ’ many signature handstands.

Lillis: Well, it’s winter now, so I only practice about once a week, but come summer I will skate every day.

They were all white women, punkers in leath- er jackets and ripped jeans who exuded the ultimate in cool. I thought of my brother as a rock star in his ability to attract so many edgy, beautiful women in a racial category that I knew at the age of nine was out of our family’s league. As unique as I thought my brother’s power of attraction to be, I learned later that numerous Asian stars rocked the stage in my brother’s world of skateboarding. A community of intoxicatingly rebellious Asian and Pacific Islander men thrived during the 1970s and 1980s within a skater world almost always characterized as white, if not blatantly racist. These men’s positioning becomes particularly notable during an era documented as a time of crippling emas- culation for Asian American men.

  • Individual and Community Culture at the Notorious Burnside Skatcpark Hames Ellerbe Universi
    Socially Infamous Socially Infamous: Individual and Community Culture at the Notorious Burnside Skatcpark Hames Ellerbe University of Oregon A master's research project Presented to the Arts and Administration Program of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Arts Administration Socially Infamous iii Approved by: Arts and Administration Program University of Oregon Socially Infamous V Abstract and Key Words Ahslracl This research project involves sociocultural validation of the founding members and early participants of Burnside Skatepark. The group developed socioculturally through the creation and use of an internationally renowned Do fl Yourse{l(DIY) skatepark. Located under the east side of the Burnside Bridge in Portland, Oregon and founded in 1990, Burnside Skatepark is one of the most famous skateparks in the world, infamous for territorialism, attitude, and difficulty. On the other hand, the park has been built with dedication, devoid ofcity funding and approval, in an area known, in the earlier days of the park, as a crime infested, former industrial district. Through the do ii yourselfcreation of Burnside skatepark, came the sociocultural cultivation and development of the founding participants and skaters. Additionally, the creation of the park provided substantial influence in the sociocultural development of a number of professional skateboarders and influenced the creation of parks worldwide. By identifying the sociocultural development and cultivation of those involved with the Burnside skatepark, specifically two of the founders, and one professional skateboarder, consideration can be provided into how skateboarding, creating a space, and skate participation may lead to significant development of community, social integrity, and self-worth even in the face of substantial gentrification.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Skateboarding Is Not a Crime, a 24-Film Tribute to the Best of Skateboarding in Cinema, Sep 6—23
    BAMcinématek presents Skateboarding is Not a Crime, a 24-film tribute to the best of skateboarding in cinema, Sep 6—23 Opens with George Gage’s 1978 Skateboard with the director in person The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Aug 16, 2013—From Friday, September 6 through Thursday, September 12, BAMcinématek presents Skateboarding is Not a Crime, a 24-film tribute to the best of skateboarding in cinema, from the 1960s to the present. The ultimate in counterculture coolness, skateboarding has made an irresistibly sexy subject for movies thanks to its rebel-athlete superstars, SoCal slacker fashion, and jaw-dropping jumps, ollies, tricks, and stunts. Opening the series on Friday, September 6 is George Gage’s Skateboard (1978), following a lumpish loser who comes up with an ill-advised scheme to manage an all-teen skateboarding team in order to settle his debts with his bookie. An awesomely retro ride through 70s skateboarding culture, Skateboard was written and produced by Miami Vice producer Dick Wolf and stars teen idol Leif Garrett (Alfred Hitchcock’s daughter plays his mom!) and Z-Boys great Tony Alva. Gage will appear in person for a Q&A following the screening. Two of the earliest films in the series showcase the upright technique that dominated in the 60s. Skaterdater (1965—Sep 23), Noel Black’s freewheelingly shot, dialogue-free puppy-love story (made with pre-adolescent members of Torrance, California’s Imperial Skateboard Club) is widely considered to be the first skateboard movie. Claude Jutra’s cinéma vérité lark The Devil’s Toy (1966—Sep 23), is narrated in faux-alarmist fashion, with kids whipping down the hills of Montreal, only to have their decks confiscated by the cops.

  • Kevin Harris
    Kevin Harris Derailed by skateboarding in 1976, Kevin Harris was never the same. As a gangly teenager nicknamed stickman, he pulled his shorts north of the belly button, walked school hallways holding his cherished skateboard instead of girlfriends' hands and rode every day, rain or shine. He graduated high school as a national champion and member of the Ripping Squad demonstration team with zero social life outside of skateboarding. Pictures torn out of SkateBoarder covered his bedroom wall instead of the expected Farah Fawcett bathing suit poster. Unfortunately for the teenager, his daydreams of becoming a world-famous professional skateboarder were crippled by location, location, location. California was the skateboarding epicenter and Kevin may as well have been winning contests on the dark side of the moon for all the attention Canada received. No legitimate pro had ever emerged from The Great White North. In 1978, when Kevin crushed the unofficial world record of 400 two-board 360s with an official 1,032 rotations, SkateBoarder magazine awarded him a teeny black and white photo. By 1981 there were barely any pros anywhere. The skating bubble burst and stragglers were looked upon with pity, unaware they were obsessed over a deflated loser fad. Kevin's collection of trophies failed to keep him company as he skated alone every night. Paying his own way to California contests, Kevin entered the emasculated international competitive pool as a way to motivate his skating and hang with other enthusiasts. There were so few competitors at a 1982 Del Mar Skate Ranch contest that they mashed the professionals and amateurs together.

When Hawk was young, he was described as being “hyperactive,” and his mother says that he was “so hard on himself and expected himself to do so many things.” One time, Tony struck out in baseball and was so distraught that he hid in a ravine and had to be “physically coaxed out” by his father. His frustration with himself was so harsh that his par- ents had him psychologically evaluated at school. The results were that Tony was “gifted,” he tested with an I.Q. of 144, and school advisors recommended plac- ing him in advanced classes. Given his first board at the age of 9, Hawk was a pro His parents supported his skate- by 14 and a multiple title-holder and champion by the boarding because it served as an outlet time he graduated from high school in 1986. for his excessive energy, and as Hawk’s skills developed, he became a profes- sional skateboarder at age fourteen and was the National Skateboard Association world champion for twelve consecutive years. “Big decisions in my life have always come easy and are made without hesitation.
