According to the Mayor in Morristown NJ the town is planning to build a skate park. It's about time!

I skated Morristown a lot back in the 80's. The cops gave us crap all the time for skateboarding in the streets and they hauled us down to the police station many times. The best was one time when the police chased our whole posse from the train station to the local skate shop and one kid slapped a "Skateboardings Not a Crime" sticker on the back of the cops leather jacket.

Quiksilver's 1980's Skateboarding streetstyle and VERT contest. 80's ramps, 80's tricks, old school pros and some cool 80's clothes. Parking blocks, Jump ramps, BIG skate decks and huge gummy wheels. It doesn't get any better then that. Keep old school skateboarding alive!!!

Beginners always seem to have trouble keeping up enough speed to surf smaller waves all the way to the end. To fix this problem, RIDE HIGH, meaning stay as far up as possible on the face of the wave. This will give you more momentum to maneuver. But don't ride too high or you will get sucked up and over the falls...Definitely NOT fun and sometime painful.
