Rob Thomson - Treadmill Skateboarding Physical Test!!Rob, from 14degrees.org, having just finished up his worldwide skateboard tour, then taken part in the 24-hour Ultraskate in New Zealand just after, was offered the chance to have his body tested in a lab!His experience and the results were captured on local NZ news http://www.3news.co.nz/News/Skate...icleID/75963/cat/185/Default.aspx This is something Michael Dong had been suggesting since we started the ultras last year, but I've never had the chance. And I'm guessing that unless we're following a running / swimming year-around regimen like Barefoot Ted, some of us semi-serious distance boarders would probably come close to this "weekend warrior" level of fitness. What a cool opportunity. Now just to see if they can build a treadmill wide enough to allow for PUMPING?! |

rodgon was just talking about this on the Fish today, so thought I'd post an example of the WIDE "Skatemill" we'd need to make indoor LDP a reality.
and if someone can get this built cheaply...let me know?? Link |
