Scoot Smith WINS THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! MARYHILL FESTIVAL OF SPEED / IGSA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. The entire downhill skateboarding world descended on Goldendale, Wash., August27-31, 2008 for the Maryhill Festival of Speed. After the enormous success of the 2007 Maryhill Festival of Speed, the decision was made to grant the event World Championship status. It was the 7th IGSA World Championship event and, most significantly, marked the first time they were held in North America.
 Scoot gets “antiqued” after his win at Maryhill.
The world-famous “Maryhill Loops Road” is a 2.5-mile technical descent on one of the world’s greatest downhill courses. In addition to the racing, the riders enjoyed daily activities including autograph sessions, dinner parties, live bands and an athlete campground. NBC Sports was also on hand to capture the action for a nationwide broadcast a few weeks later.

SKATE INDUSTRY INNOVATORS: Resource Distriubtion Joey Pulsifer Taking It Back To The Streets! |

 Resource Distribution is putting a huge amount of focus on skateboard hard goods. We had a chance to speak with one of its founders, Joey Pulsifer, who explained his goals in detail.“What we’re trying to create with Resource is a one-stop shop for skate hard goods – one-stop meaning longboards and short boards. The companies we carry are all truly unique: Riviera, Given, Roger, Project, Paris and Venom – they all offer something different.” Joey feels that Riviera is a standout longboard brand because it’s not just focused on the surfing lifestyle. “Riviera is focused on all types of people: surfers, skaters, snowboarders, bros, brahs, whoever,” he explains.
Recent additions to Resource include Roger Skateboards, a company put together by pro skater Stacy Lowery and artist Michael Sieben, and Given Skateboards, Kris Markovich’s new board company. This is the first time Kris has 100% ownership in a skateboard brand. Resource also offers Project hardware and the popular Paris trucks. Joey notes that Venom bushings will also be hitting shortly, and he hopes they will meet with the same kind of success that other products have.

I was intrigued to find out what it was about Resource that made it unique. After all, there are numerous distributors out there. “We started Resource Distribution with the idea that shops would be able to buy multiple product lines with one call. That’s the basic idea. Little did we know that people would actually embrace it and use it so quickly!” Joey says. He points out that a lot of shops carry street boards and longboards already.

SKATE INDUSTRY INNOVATORS: Adam Herron Grinds Toward The Future! |

HERRON TRUCKS — GRINDING TOWARD THE FUTURE Adam Herron grew up in the Midwest in the Kansas City area and started skating back in 1990 when he was around 11. “My parents owned a machine shop, so that’s where I . “Through my dad’s shop we were machining hole patterns on carbon fiber wheels for another company that made ATV and Outlaw race car wheels. So I knew the strength and weight ratios of carbon fiber compared to aluminum,” explains Adam.
Since he and his brother both skated, they knew you have only one option when it comes to trucks: aluminum. “But we knew that it wasn’t just any aluminum; it was cheap, poorly cast aluminum,” Adam said. He added that he always felt like the pride has disappeared in the truck manufacturers’ work, and he was determined to build something better.
I asked Adam about what it was about carbon fiber that intrigued him. “The biggest misconception about carbon fiber is that it is sticky or gummy when it comes to grinding.That couldn’t be any further from the truth…It’s the exact opposite. Where I live, a popular weekend getaway is to go canoeing, and if you’ve ever been, you know that when you are in an aluminum canoe and you hit shallow water, you have to get out and drag the boat with all your might to get across the rocks. When you are in a fiberglass canoe you don’t even have to get out of the boat; you just glide smoothly right on top like the rocks are waxed.”
