“Go skiing if you want to slalom.”-Stacy Peralta, April 1986
I once aired over a kid on a snakeboard. I felt my back wheel go "donk" on his helmet.
He's probably lucky he was wearing a helmet too as I am not a slim lithe young lad.

FD he must have changed his tune in the 10yrs since 76, he was doing slalom when he toured Aust in 75 or 76.
Z-boys website bio on Stacy
Stacy Peralta is prototypical of the emerging new style in skateboarding today. At sixteen years, he has been riding skates "off and on" since the age of six (after watching him, one suspects he was mostly on). Stacy describes his early days as mostly "a downhill surf-skate style based around weight shifting."
Recently, along with some friends from the Santa Monica area, he entered the Del Mar Ocean Festival Contest just to see what it would be like . . .and somehow wound up placing sixth or eighth in freestyle. Until this point, Peralta had considered himself a "surf skater as opposed to a trickster." This initial exposure to the varied criteria of freestyle competition caused Stacy to concentrate on learning some of the "conventional maneuvers" under the tutelage of Chris Dawson and Tom Waller. Apparently his endeavors in this direction are beginning to pay off, judging by his recent competitive outings:
Santa Barbara; 2nd slalom, 3rd freestyle
Huntington Beach; 1st slalom, 3rd freestyle
Los Cerritos; 3rd overall
Long Beach, 1st slalom
Orange County; 1st freestyle, 2nd overall
Steve’s South Bay; 1st slalom, 2nd freestyle
Slaom is fun as are all other styles of skating except snakeboards, which are not skateboards
I'm going to try that with Shep this weekend...holding hands looks fun!
