There was a discussion on silverfish about what you should eat. Whole foods. Stuff that’s not greasy and wouldnt upset your stomach on a sunny day or the morning after.
Simple foods with high-carbohydrates is good for your dinner before. Just don’t put a bunch of junk in your stomach.
Don’t eat high fiber foods or salads and vegetables. They are good for you but will make you have to use the bathroom during a race. That’s a noooo.
Water. Drink water the night before and that morning. Don’t drink coffee and other liquids that will leave you dehydrated. That’s not gonna help you at all.
A little salt will help you take on the right amounts of liquid throughout the day.
The morning before, eat small like an apple or a couple pancakes. Just don’t stuff up and don’t eat too much stuff compounded together. Your body won’t be able to process it in time or correctly.
30 minutes before your race, a bagel won’t hurt. Just make sure you know all these foods aren’t going to upset your stomach. You shouldn’t be reading this the day of!
That’s all I got. Just be smart, listen to your body.

It was tough.
Perhaps you might consider it a battle of the senses.
Meh, it was a close call on everyone’s part!
Ian Dutch! Congrats man. This photo is stellar. The color. The distortion of your friends in the background. The up close and personal longboard at a guerilla skate park. I love it. I could easily see this picture featured as a TV spot or something.
Okay, for the runner up I’m going to have to give it to Cody Lenz. The kid is having so much fun. He’s not going the typical longboarding route. I like the colors and the focus. Longboarding IS fun and its demonstrated right here.
I’ll add more of the photos I got throughout the week. Just thought I’d get these two out of the way. I’ll be in contact with both of you soon. Keep up the good work fellas.

It’s on November 21st and it’ll be sweeeet. It’s at my stomping grounds so I’m sure to be there and all those guys from Go Green Longboarding (http://gogreenlongboarding.com) seem way cool.

Unfortunately I have volunteering plans on that day

Garage #2 (Hamster Cage) – 5 floors and fast with all left turns, stop on the 2nd floor or die. You can kick the whole first down.
Garage #3 (Grand River) – I’m gonna have to check this one out before I define it.
Garage #4 (Comm Arts) – 4 floors and fast with 3 rights and a left. You can kick until the line, then kick and pump the whole bottom flat section.
Garage #5 (Wharton) – We have some leeway here, I’m thinking all rights, all lefts, and hit 2 cutbacks. Kick status pending.
