tony_lord

Name:

Tony Lord


In the game:

22 Years - Started with Pig city back in '76


Styles:

All types always! Since back in the day I've been street cruising, freestyling (badly), slalom, banks and pools and of course pipes. My favourite things were always carving, sliding, and slalom.


Gecko Set-up:

My SLE is equipped with a budget choice of Tracker race tracks wedged and de-wedged, Khiro rubbers, and now sports Hotspots - blue on the back and purple on the front, with some whites in reserve. I've also got some blue cambrias for those odd occasions when a smaller wheell comes in handy


Recent Runs:

Brighton's excellent Turn or Burn, and the Crackling at Hog Hill.

Not too sucessful yet but not far off the pace and improving all the time!

Name:

Rick Floyd


In the game:

22 Years out of Burlington Vermont


Styles:

I rode skateboards from 1976 to 1985 around Westchester County NY, all disciplines, then drifted away from the sport to compete on a National level in Windsurfing. Just started riding and racing skateboards for the first time in 22 years last June (2007) - best thing I've ever done!


Gecko Set-up:

My Gecko is set up with Radikal Dragons Breath/Wing trucks and Retro ZigZag wheels. It's like driving a little skateboard Ferrari!!

Other accolades: 2007 USASA Snowboarding Men's Legends Slalom and Overall Alpine Gold Medalist - Silver in GS. 2006 USCA Marathon Kayaking National Silver Medalist (racing Sea Kayak division)

munchh

Name:

Steve 'Munchh' Rhodes


In the game:

Since I was a nipper, then started making my own decks in 2004


Styles:

Surfy slalom pumper, skate for the love of skating


Gecko Set-up:

I'm very proud to ride 'pre-production 001'. Standard front GOG, 2nd gen splitfire rear, far too many wheels, but grippins are mostly my favourite at the moment. I love homemades, but couldn't deprive myself such quality.


Recent Runs:

Southcoast Slalom, PigCity local, I love riding at Wasteland, Turn and Burn was great and Hog Hill is the new Nemesis. Haven't placed very high yet, but I say YET.
