The Ghettolympics
The 2008 SLUG Mag Summer of Death shall commence on Saturday, July 19 with the Ghettolympics.
Registration for the Ghettolympics will be from 2 p.m. - 3 p.m. in the Sears parking lot next to Big Deluxe on 730 S. State St. The comp will begin at 3 p.m.
Hippie High Jump- Just like the limbo, start low, get high (not in the drug sense!) If you knock over the high jump or don't land on your board, you don't advance to the next heat. Technical high jumps (high jump shuvits, etc.) are also allowed. There will also be a "Tony Cox" award for most limber high jump.
Triple Jump- The high jump's big sister. See if you can ollie over (not down) all three obstacles in a row as they gradually get taller.
Synchronized Skating- Consisting of a set of two boxes, a flat rail and a quarter pipe. The team with the best doubles line wins. You must have a homie to enter. Judged on consistency, creativity and synchronization.
Longest Powerslide- Time to flatspot those wheels! See if you can powerslide clear across the parking lot. Judged in 1/2 ft increments, longest powerslide wins. We may not be checking for steroid use, but waxed wheels and "filmer" boards are not allowed!
Most Techgnar Wallride- Bring your reverts, nollie outs and late shuvits for the most techgnar wallride. Best/most creative wins.
Polejam Pentathlon- Not really a pentathlon but hey, everyone loves alliteration! Pole jam wallies are awesome right? Get creative (next level! next level!) as best trick off the polejam earns the gold!
Best Line- Show us some consistency! One-upping isn't cool in 2008, we want to see you push and land clean. Most creative/difficult line will put you on the podium.
