JUICE
MAGAZINE will present a WORLD RECORD WALL RIDE event sanctioned by the World Skateboarding
Association and United States Skateboarding Association at the BOARD GALLERY Grand
Opening. The two-day skateboarding contest will feature world class skateboarders
competing for the World Record 'HIGHEST WALL RIDE'. The Skate contests
will be held in the center court at Hollywood + Highland. Saturday's event will
feature the preliminary WALL RIDE COMPETITION with 10 FINALISTS advancing to the
Finals on SUNDAY.
The
WORLD RECORD 'HIGHEST WALL RIDE' event will be moderated by JAMES O'MAHONEY
- director of the World Skateboarding Association (WSA) and the U.S. Skateboarding
Association (USSA). O'Mahoney is the creator of the first televised World Record
skateboarding events in 1975 for the Guinness World Records at the request of
Sir David Frost, ABC Television and Guinness World Records. The
first world records for skateboarding included the barrel jump, high jump and
fastest speed on a skateboard. Guinness World Records has been invited to endorse
the 'HIGHEST WALL RIDE' event for a Guinness World Record.
The
World Record 'HIGHEST WALL RIDE' will not be a roll-in approach as this
is a contest based on pure human skill. The skateboarders will approach the wall
ride from a flat surface under his or her own power. There will be an 80-foot
runway up to the wall ride. The skateboarder must skate up to a 4-foot tall wedge
ramp set up at a 45 degree angle straight to a 17-foot tall vertical wall. The
wall will be 12-feet wide. No fakies. No grabs. The skateboarder must remain on
the board and come back down the wall then down the wedge ramp back to flat ground
while remaining in control of the skateboard. The 'HIGHEST WALL RIDE'
will be measured by the highest point reached by the back wheel of the skateboard
on the vertical wall. Rules for the contest will be announced on Aug 21, 2004.
Skateboarders wishing to compete will need to pre-register and sign in at the
Board Gallery before 2:30PM on Saturday, August 21, 2004.
Prize
money will be awarded to 1st ($1000), 2nd ($100) and 3rd ($50) place winners of
the 'HIGHEST WALL RIDE' Contest and to the winners of the BEST TRICK
