Wheelie
Welcome to the official site of the World's Biggest Skateboard. It was built in 1996 by Foundation Skateboards and accepted by the Guinness World Records in 2004 after many years of applying. Talk about red tape. It appeared in the 2006 printed edition. This is the real deal. It is 10' long, 4' wide, 3' tall. Double kick deck. It has fully functional trucks with giant bushing and turns just like proper skateboard, with the application of weight to each side of the board. Some sweet Crager imitation dubs with low profile tread make for perfect wheels. It is on display at FSHQ in San Diego, CA. It makes occasional appearance at events such as the Goofy vs Regular Contest and on the TV show, Ripley's Believe It or Not.

World Cup Invades Berlin!
The comp was aired live on MTV Saturday night, so a very simple and easy format for the general public to understand was necessary. The format was set with a brutal 1 run head to head for both street and vert. With practice and qualifying for all riders on Friday immediate adaptation to the street course and vert ramp was the key ingredient for success. Despite the pressure of the 1 run format everyone seemed to be having a good time.
On the street course Germany's Alex Mizerov was victorious with a flawless run in a head to head battle in the final round for the win against 2nd place finisher Axel Cruysbergh from Belgium. Axel did enjoy celebrating his 13th birthday with a win on Friday to advance to the top 8 for Sat. Also advancing was Brazilian Tulio Oliveira who won the 3rd place matchup against USA's Dayne Brummet who ended up in 4th. Also skating good was UK's Tom Penny, Prague's Thomas Vintr, Berlin's switch master Lenny Burnmeister and Germany's Christian Krause who all tied for equal 5th do to the brackets of the heat format.
In the vert ramp Final round it was Andy Macdonald and Rune Glifberg who also battled head to head. Andy's strategy of consistency and no falls runs filled with lots of 540's and flip tricks advanced him through all of the heats and earned him the #1 spot. Rune also won all heats with consistent but classic 'go for it' style of riding, which in the final seconds of his final run, a fall on a switch kickflip no grab to fakie attempt would land him finishing in the #2 spot.
It was Sandro Dias who had a few falls on Sat ended up in 4th, leaving PLG with his new 360 flip to mute grab to fakie to start a great solid ride filled with lots of flip tricks and 540's and a 3rd place finish. Other highlights were Berlin's very own Juergen Horrwarth's rolling into huge alley-oops, 540's way over 2 meters high (approx 8'), high airs, tail grabs, hurricane grinds, sugarcanes and smooth style. He was fun to watch. The tie for 5th place went to Aussie Renton Millar, USA's Neal Hendrix, Copenhagen's Nicky Guerrero and Germany's Sascha Mueller, who were also ripping.
Thanks to Schutzi of IOU Ramps for a great street course and Hans from GRamps for a good wide and solid vert ramp. Most riders used the roll-ins for the fast speedy airs to start their runs.
Bullet for my Valentine played live on Sat night with a fast and heavy set. The free beer parties were also a hit as always. It reminded me a little of the old Munster and Dortmund Championships, we had a fun crew. You definitely do not want to miss this one next year. Berlin is a fun city with lots to see and do, with a progressive skate, music and art scene.
Thanks to Ralf Middendorf and Lars from Nice Productions for bringing everyone together for another historical event in Germany. Also thanks to T-Mobile and a special thanks to Sony Ericsson (who hooked me up with a new cellphone. I need it). Thanks again to all involved, see ya next year or maybe sooner, D.D.
Trick Tips
Ollie Manual
Performed by Beechum Jones-filmed by Dorian Tucker
The ollie manual is a good trick to help develop your balance and ollie control. The idea is to ollie and land on your back wheels, riding a "wheelie" for a distance before setting the front wheels down. It can be done on the flat ground or over an object, but is most commonly done up onto an element, like a curb or block. It requires a fair sense of balance, and you should be comfortable ollieing. It might be good to get accustomed to manualling on flat ground before ollieing onto something, but a curb is a good element on which to learn the ollie manual. Ride at the curb at a normal ollie speed - you'll want to go fast enough to get up onto the curb and still have momentum for the manual. Pop into an ollie and get up over the curb. Instead of levelling the board in the air beneath you, keep your leading foot up and your weight centered over the back wheels. The lower you pop your ollie, still clearing the element of course, the smoother you will land on your back wheels and the easier it will be to gain balance once on those wheels. Once on them there back wheels, you'll notice your body arched forward over your board as you ride the manual. This is how you keep your weight balanced on the back wheels. It is useful to try and manual a set distance, like to a line on the sidewalk or off the curb again. This will give you something specific to strive for until you've got the ollie manual so wired that you can just ride it for days. Then you can try variations like the ollie manual to kickflip off of an element, or even the ollie flip to manual. The options are endless.
Trick Tips
Bluntslide
performed by Dorian Tucker/filmed by Adam Sullivan
For this trick, you ought to be comfortable with frontside boardslides, and backside tailslides. Just be comfortable with turning your body, and keeping your head straight.Approach the obstacle frontside, with a moderate amount of speed (how much depends on how slippery the obstacle is). Ollie, and smack your back wheels on top of the obstacle, and your tail against the side. Your body should turn with the board, but you should still be looking forward. To slide, you want to push with your back foot, and keep your front leg bent.
To come off the end, you can simply turn off and land. Coming off in the middle, though is a bit different. You have to ollie out, and bring the board off and around with your front foot (ollie out off the end for bonus style points). Land with all 4 wheels at once, don't shred, and roll away stylin'.
Skateboard Decks
The deck is easily the most important part of your setup. The deck you choose can greatly affect how you skate. So which deck is best? Well, that all depends on what you're looking for in a deck. Which one ollies highest? Which one is best for sliding? Which one lasts the longest? These are the questions I get bombarded with each and every day, so let's take a look at the different types of boards, shall we?
The shape is the most often criticized part of the skateboard, and the most technical. When choosing a shape, you must consider many different factors. Length, width, nose, tail, and wheelbase. Most of today's skateboards fall within the width range of 7.5 inches, to 8 inches. There are several that are a bit smaller, and a bit bigger, but for the most part, they fall within that half of an inch. The smaller boards tend to be easier to control and do flip tricks in the driveway with, whereas the wider boards are easier to carve and manipulate in a pool. Lengths generally don't stray from the 31" - 32.5" mark. Likewise, the smaller boards are easier to control while flipping. The other dimensions are geared towards personal preference. Some people like a long nose, and some people like a short wheelbase. The best thing to do is to experiment, try a few out, and decide what is good for you.
So, what else? When do you need a new board? If it breaks, or cracks, it's probably time to look for a new one. If you skid the nose or tail a lot, the edge will get sharp. This is called "razortail", and your board will chip a lot easier. This takes away from the amount of "pop" you get out of a board. So does getting it wet, or if it cracks. All of these will affect the amount of "pop" you get out of your board (or the strength of your board, if you will).
As far as durability goes, there is no conclusive evidence as to which ones are strongest. Most boards are 7-Ply, which is seven layers of plywood glued together. Some companies claim to have lighter decks, usually due to using thinner layers of plywood, or not as many, or crossing beams, which is laying the plys in different directions, creating a cross grain. These things can decrease the overall weight of your board slightly, but at the same time they can make it slightly weaker. Some board companies even add a few thinner plys, just to make their boards that much more durable. Some increase the concave of the boards, to make it more durable.
There are a few board companies out there that offer slight variations, or innovations in their board construction. For example, Flip offers "New Wave Construction" a patented system which uses corrugated stiffening ribs on the surfaces of the board to increase performance. Real Skateboards, too has a unique approach. They have "Triple Beam Construction" which uses seven Hard Rock Maple veneer plys, three of which are cross plys. This maximizes the pop and durability of the board.
If your board is stiff, it will perform at its peak. If it is soggy (from water damage, or just excessive flexing), then it wont perform well. But if it's too stiff, then it becomes brittle. If it is brittle, then it will break easier. So there must be a middle ground, right? Companies are coming up with new innovations everyday, to try and be the next big thing in board construction. But we have yet to see conclusive evidence leaning one way or the other.
It should be duly noted, though, that no matter how bad your board is, too thick, too thin, too soggy, too brittle, too chipped, too cracked, chances are good that the problem with your skating is you. Don't forget to have fun, okay?

Trucks
Trucks, or axles, are what hold the wheels on the board. They are a very durable part of your complete they are the surface you grind on, and they allow you to turn. To know about them is pretty important, so lets get started: There are four major parts to a truck, the hangar/axle, kingpin, bushing, and the base plate.
The base plate is the part that gets fastened to your board (important note: when putting your trucks on, kingpins face in!!!!! if you don't do this, then you will lean one way and turn another! You will fall!!) The kingpin is the big bolt that comes up through the base plate. This is the bolt that you can adjust to make your trucks looser or tighter. It is also the part of the truck that tends to break the most. It's a pain in the ass, but they can be replaced. The bushings, or pivot bushings, are what the kingpin tightens down. They come in a few different hardnesses. With use and abuse, these will crack. After they crack, they are difficult to keep tight. Fortunatley, Shorty's and a few other companies sell replacement bushings that differ in hardness, so you can customize your trucks so that they are comfortable for you. The hangar is the last piece of the puzzle. It's the part you grind on. It interlocks around the kingpin and bushings. The thing that sticks out from either side is the axle (it's where your wheels go, eh?). A common problem with trucks is a problem known as "axle slip". This is when you try to kick flip, and land 'primo' (see skate glossary), and your axle slips (duh), resulting in one locked wheel, and one loose wheel. Axle slip sucks. If you don't have a skate tool on you, and this happens, you can temporarily fix it by banging it back into place. Fair warning, though, this just makes it worse in the long run.
Don't let anyone tell you how to ride your trucks, in fact, don't even listen to them. Find out what is comfortable for you. Some people like really tight trucks, some people like loose trucks. It differs person-to-person. I will say, though, that many people like them loose for carving, but a bit tighter for flip tricks (it's a bit easier to balance with slightly tight trucks, but its very important to be able to turn). A popular style is to keep the back truck slightly tighter, for ollie stability, but it's all up to you. And that's the beauty of it all.
Of course, one of the biggest factors in determining which trucks to get is the weight. Nobody wants heavy trucks, or do they? Some companies have created ways to lighten the weight of the truck, while keeping the durability. Grind Kings and Thunders are on the lighter side, while Independent and Destroyer are heavier. Keep in mind that almost all trucks fall between 10 and 13 ounces. If you really think that taking six ounces off your board will make you skate better, go for it. But maybe you should close your eyes and see if you can tell the difference. Most trucks are available in a few different widths, as well. Which one is right for you? Well, if it's too big, you'll look like a turtle, and if its too small, you won't be able to see them while riding. Your truck bolts should be flush with your board, so it depends on what size board you ride. Get it?
In the past few years, there have been many different variations on trucks, to provide a bit of diversity to your board. For example, Tensor Trucks offer a plastic piece in the base plate, to assist with tricks like nose slides and tail slides. Many manufacturers offer their trucks in both "hi" and "low", meaning a raised or lowered kingpin, which can affect overall grinding area. Some companies offer a non-slip axle guarantee. Like shoes, your trucks may take a few days to 'break in' properly, or for you to get used to them. Once they are broken in, though, you will get a feel for what you like and what you don't like. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Community anak skateboard berau
nah klu yang satu ini adalh cerita tentang mengenal keberadaan anak skate yang ga pernah bosan - bosannya untuk berlatih. walaupun area yang hanya sedikit mereka tetap bisa bermain. nah yang uniknya hal seperti ini ga pernah dilirik oleh pemda berau untuk menyediakan lahan yang sesuai untuk merekaTaman Cendana Berau Yupp, taman ini memang baru diresmikan pemerintah beberapa tahun yang lalu. Terletak di daerah batiwakkal, Tanjung Redeb, ternyata taman yang pendiriannya sempat diprotes warga ini kini benar-benar sesuai fungsinya, setidaknya untuk tempat bermain kaum muda kota.
Tiap sore, banyak kaum muda ngumpul mulai dari sekadar “jjs”, pacaran, makan-makan, hingga main skateboard. Pokoknya ramai banget walaupun tamannya sebenarnya belum jadi, masih gersang, dan belum ditata indah.
Di lapangan berlantai aspal, Di ujung kerumunan, ada satu gerombolan kaum muda dengan fashion khas street sibuk dengan mainan mereka: skateboard.
Mereka bermain di ujung sisa lapangan. Tiap sore, anak-anak muda itu memang sepakat ngumpul bareng.
Jangan bayangkan mereka punya fasilitas bermain khusus untuk skateboard. Mereka tidak diusir pun sudah bersyukur. Di tempat lain, mereka sering diusir begitu ketahuan roda-roda papan yang mereka naiki menggerus lantai atau sering menabrak pembatas.
“Kalau di dalam kantor bupati, kami sering diusir aparat keamanan karena dianggap anak-anak skateboard itu merusak lantai atau apalah gitu,” kata ijay (17), salah satu anak skate
Di Berau Cendana, pihak keamanan cenderung welcome dan masih membiarkan. Harapannya sih tentu saja membiarkan selamanya agar mereka bisa tetap bermain skateboard tanpa ada pengusiran.
Dirasa Taman Cendana Berau cukup kooperatif, Heri dan kawan-kawan sudah berencana membuat surat ke pemerintah daerah agar memberi izin untuk bermain di Taman Cendana. Siapa tahu, pemerintah daerah nanti berbaik hati dan bersedia membuatkan skatepark lengkap dengan peralatannya.
“Di Taman Cendana Berau ini lantainya bagus, lampunya terang, jadi anak-anak pada betah main mulai sore hari sampai tengah malam,” ujar Awir.
Di Taman Cendana, semua kalangan berkumpul untuk sekadar saling ketemu dan bermain bersama. Mulai dari anak-anak SMA, pegawai kantoran, dosen, dokter, pebisnis, freelance, hingga bule-bule yang maniak skateboard juga memilih Taman Cendana.
“Saya pegawai di sebuah hotel, tiap saya libur kerja atau pas pulang kerja lagi suntuk, saya ke sini untuk main skateboard, asyik aja. Di sini sudah jadi tempat bermain kami, bule-bule juga sudah mulai mengenal tempat ini,” kata awir (20).
Olahraga serius
Skateboard memang asyik untuk mengisi waktu bengong. Tetapi jangan dikira skateboard itu sekadar hobi mereka yang kurang kerjaan. Di dunia internasional, skateboard sudah menjadi olahraga serius dan seperti olahraga lain, atlet skateboard juga bisa hidup dari olahraga ini.
Pemain top bisa mendapat dana dari berbagai sponsor dan dapat menjadi penghasilan menarik. Satu lagi yang tak terelakkan, kaum muda pencinta skateboard pasti dekat dengan dunia bisnis distro, clothing, dan skate shop.
Di Indonesia, sudah ada Indonesia Skateboarding Association (ISA) yang mewadahi perkumpulan ini dan rutin menyelenggarakan dan mengoordinasi berbagai event. ISA juga rutin mengeluarkan peringkat ISA yang berisi daftar para pemain skateboard top Indonesia.
Untuk main skateboard juga tidak asal. Perlu perlengkapan dan dasar-dasar teknis yang harus dikuasai agar saat meluncur tidak asal tabrak lari. Bisa benjot lho kalau enggak bisa menguasai trik-trik dengan benar.
“Bagi para pemula, kalau mau tahu gimana caranya main skateboard dengan benar, bisa langsung gabung dengan kami. Datang aja ke Taman Cendana Berau, asal tidak malu-malu bertanya nanti banyak kawan-kawan di sini yang bisa ngasih contoh belajarnya,” kata awir.
Nah ngomong soal skate, ada baiknya kita terlebih dahulu tau tentang berdirinya community skateboard berau.
community Skateboard Berau Berdiri pada tahun 2005 dan orang yang pertama kali membawa virus skate keberau adalah awir ojim.
he..he..he… promosi neh..
ya udah berhubung malem dah semakin larut ntar kita lanjut lagi ye…

BASE Bali Skate Park
Extreme sport di Bali cuma Surfing. Salah total kalo loe berpikir seperti itu. Di Bali ada sebuah skatepark yang terbesar se-Asia Tenggara. Namanya BASE Bali Skatepark.
BASE Bali Skatepark dibangun mulai pada tahun 2005 untuk memfasilitasi sekaligus mengembangkan aktivitas pemuda di Bali. Skatepark ini digunakan secara multifungsi untuk olah raga-olah raga extreme seperti skateboard, inline, dan flow rider. Area skatepark ini juga sering menjadi venue untuk ajang khusus.
Dengan didirikanya BASE Skatepark ini, Bali telah menjadi yang teratas dalam penyelengaraan event extreme sport tingkat internasional di Asia Tenggara. Kompetisi berkualitas skala nasional dan regional pastinya juga akan marak demi meningkatkan kualitas extreme sport di Indonesia dan khususnya Bali.
Area sebesar 5000 m2 itu disulap menjadi area rekreasional yang didalamnya terdapat vert skatepark indoor dan outdoor. Selain itu di sana ada juga Istana Kuta Gallery, street area untuk para street skater, bar, hotspot, skate shop, dan Mezzanine dengan pemandangan ke arah skatepark.
Skatepark ini telah secara resmi dibuka tanggal 18 Mei 2007. [rad]

NATIONAL SKATEBOARDING CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL 2007
DEPOK, 25 November 2007
Pada kompetisi kali ini team rider RUSTY berhasil mempertahankan prestasi serta mengulang kembali kesuksesan 2006 di tahun 2007 ini. Posisi terbaik juara nasional masih disandang oleh Pevi. Untuk menjadi yang terbaik pada event ini tidaklah mudah bagi Pevi. Panasnya cuaca dan kondisi obstacle (alat-alat pertandingan) yang tergolong sulit pada saat itu, memaksa Pevi untuk lebih bekerja keras. Babak penyisihan dengan system best run in 2 run sangat menolong para rider pada saat bertanding. Run Pevi terbilang sangat baik, dimulai dengan 50-50 di ledge langsung menuju quarter pipe dengan f/s indie grab, footplan di double banks, dan 360 flip naik ke starting point, kemudian menuju ke quarter dengan b/s arial to tail tap, transfer handplan di spinner dan di tutup dengan fs transfer stelfish di quarter, menghantarnya ke final. Sayangnya kesuksesan Pevi tidak diikuti oleh Reno dan Izad. Reno terlihat tidak pada performa terbaiknya. Beberapa trik yang tidak landing dengan mulus membuat Reno kehilangan banyak waktu,akhirnya Reno tidak berhasil masuk kedalam 10 besar final round. Begitu juga dengan Izad yang terlihat kurang konsisten dalam setiap run penyisihannya juga tidak menolongnya masuk ke putaran final.
Pada putaran final Pevi memang terlihat “menggila”, lagi-lagi konsistensi trick, ditambah dengan frontside benihanna, penguasaan area skatepark dan mental Juara sudah cukup untuk menjadikan dia sebagai skater no.1 Indonesia tahun 2007. Tidak hanya street course saja, Pevi juga berhasil menjadi juara 1 Bowl contest dengan trick : 50-50 stall, f/s indie, f/s stelfish, curving, f/s benihanna, b/s air to tail, rock n roll to fakie and f/s boneless to tail.
Juara 1 Street Open, Juara 1 Bowl Contest, peringkat pertama Indonesia adalah prestasi terbaik team rider tahun 2007 ini.
Pada saat Band performance (ROSEMARY) berlangsung, semua orang dikagetkan karena Pevi sempat menaiki Flying Fox bergantungan tepat diatas skatepark dan langsung membagikan giveaway dari Rusty. Crowd di stage, Rosemary membagikan sticker, lanyard, keyring, poster dan banyak lagi. Semua saling berebutan untuk mendapatkannya its so cool….
We’re ready to kick more serious ass in 2008 ! Be prepared !

Lee Balo Wilson Receives 2007 Pro Surfer of the Year and Most Popular Surfer of the Year Awards at ISC Awards Night
5 November 2007, Kuta-Bali: Lee Balo Wilson received the ISCs 2007 Pro Surfer of the Year title and trophy, and was voted the Most Popular Surfer, on Saturday November 3rd at the Indonesian Surfing Championship Awards Presentation. The Awards Presentation took place at The Wave nightclub which is positioned almost directly on Kuta Beach, a place many consider the birthplace of the sport of surfing in Indonesia.
A crowd of over 200 members of the local surfing industry, media and friends started off their Saturday night by honoring the top surfers in Indonesia in four categories, Junior, Pro Junior, Masters, and Pro. The categories of Pro Junior and Junior are new, having been added for the 2007 season.
First up to receive his award was the 2007 Junior Champion, 15-year-old One Anwar from Sumbawa. One (pronounced Oh-Nay) has been on fire this year, first winning the 2007 Quiksilver King of the Groms series (which got him a trip to France for the Grand Finals in August) and then just last week taking the overall win at the 2007 Rip Curl GromSearch series for the second year in a row. That means hell be going to Australia again in 2008 to compete in the World GromSearch Finals at Bells Beach. First Runner Up in the Junior category was Komang Putra Hermawan, and Ones older brother, Gazali Hamzah, was 2nd Runner Up.
Next to take the stage was 2007 Pro Junior Champion Mustofa Jeksen, no stranger to the podium and at 17 years old already a seasoned veteran, having traveled to many international destinations to free surf and to compete. Jeksen was last years ISC Rookie of the Year, and this year gets honors for finishing at the top of the rankings for an Indonesian in the newly introduced Billabong Pro Junior Series. 1st Runner up was the absent Agus Pernawan, and 2nd Runner Up was Kadek Murtika.
For the second year in a row, Kutas local legend and owner of The Surf Shop on Jalan Legian, Wayan Gantiyasa, took top spot in the Masters division. He climbed up on the stage to receive his trophy with the help and cheers of his friends. He had apparently been celebrating for several hours before his arrival, and seemed to be enjoying his evening immensely. 1st Runner Up was Wayan Pica, and 2nd Runner Up was none other than Bali Barrels Ketut Menda.
Before the man of the evening was called up, MCs Rani and Rahtu first called up Marlon Gerber to accept the 2nd Runner Up award for last years Number 1, and Marlons brother-in-law, Rizal Tanjung. (Rizal was in Japan so couldnt attend.) Next up was 1st Runner Up Wayan Suprayitna, who had his first ISC win at the Oakley Thump this year and has been a strong competitor in every event in the 2007 season tour.
Mr. Popular Lee Wilson was then called to the stage amidst the cheers and hoots of the crowd to receive his trophy. When MC Rahtu handed him the microphone, Lee had this to say: I started the year with this goal in mind, to win the championship, and to be here and have it come true is magic. I want to thank everyone involved in this tour and in the industry for making this possible. There are so many people that all play their parts, all along the way, and they are all really important, so without them I couldnt stand up here now. And especially I want to thank my Dad and Mom, who have given me unbelievable support. Thanks everyone!
Lee was 1st Runner Up to Rizal Tanjung in 2006, and set out at the beginning of the 2007 season to put his name on the trophy by the end of the year. His go-for-it style, natural ability, and commitment to the goals he set put him solidly in first place with wins at the first two events of the season, a position he retained through the remainder of the season. Lee was born and raised in Indonesia, his father from Australia and his mother is Indonesian. He has been sponsored by Rip Curl since he was 13 years old, and has been featured in numerous times in international surfing magazines and videos.

Congratulations to Rusty Indonesia
Dari Press Release Rusty Indonesia:
Untuk kedua kalinya Rusty skate rider kembali membuat harum nama Indonesia melalui penampilan mereka di Macau Asian Indoor Games yang ke 2, pada event, Asian Indoor games 2 tahun yang lalu di Thailand Rusty rider juga mempersembahkan medali kepada Indonesia melalui Reno Pratama yang memboyong medali perak, kini giliran Pevi Permana menyumbangkan medali Perunggu untuk kategori kelas Park, kelas ini adalah kelas paling bergengsi. Sedangkan Medali emas diraih oleh Indonesia skater lainnya yaitu I Putu Yogi.
Tampil dengan kepercayaan penuh Pevi Permana, pada babak penyisihan dapat melakukan hampir semua trik-trik nya dengan mulus, run 1 Pevi melakukan jumping double grap over the launch ramp, 50-50 grind.
Di quarter pipe, frontside ollie di quarter pipe, Madonna over the spine, backside air to tail, 50-50 grind di rail, lien air di quarter pipe, boneless over the pyramid, 50-50 grind di ledge. Penampilan ini membuat Pevi menduduki peringkat ke 3 pada babak penyisihan sehingga dapat melaju ke babak final.
Pada babak final yang dilaksanakan pada esok harinya, Pevi sedikit melakukan perubahan triknya, tetapi dengan tidak merubah line yg telah dia jalani pada penyisihan kemarin, trik seperti benihana, stalefish, mampu membuat Pevi tetap berada pada posisi ke 3 sehingga dia berhak mendapatkan medali Perunggu. Rider Rusty lainnya yaitu Reno Pratama juga berhasil mendapatkan medali perunggu pada pre event Asian Indoor Games di Macau ini seminggu sebelumnya.
Kini rider Rusty kembali akan berlatih guna menghadapi Asian Indoor Games yang ke 3 di Vietnam, Tim manager Rusty rider untuk Macau Asian Indoor Games 2007, Yudi Toengkagie mengatakan bahwa dia akan mempersiapkan para rider Rusty, untuk lebih banyak lagi berlatih untuk memperlancar trik-trik mereka tersebut dan mengatur strategi yang lebih baik lagi. Dari seluruh skater-skater Asia lainnya terlihat bahwa mental para skater Indonesia lebih baik dari pada negara-negara lain, ini dikarenakan sering di adakannya kompetisi-kompetisi nasional, seperti ISA National series, yg sangat membantu sekali untuk para rider dalam menghadapi setiap kompetisi.
Viva Macau ! Viva Indonesia ! Viva Skateboard ! Viva Rusty ! C U in Vietnam !!!

Lee Wilson Indonesian Surf Champ
Lee Balo Wilson Receives 2007 Pro Surfer of the Year and Most Popular Surfer of the Year Awards at ISC Awards Night
5 November 2007, Kuta-Bali: Lee Balo Wilson received the ISCs 2007 Pro Surfer of the Year title and trophy, and was voted the Most Popular Surfer, on Saturday November 3rd at the Indonesian Surfing Championship Awards Presentation. The Awards Presentation took place at The Wave nightclub which is positioned almost directly on Kuta Beach, a place many consider the birthplace of the sport of surfing in Indonesia.
A crowd of over 200 members of the local surfing industry, media and friends started off their Saturday night by honoring the top surfers in Indonesia in four categories, Junior, Pro Junior, Masters, and Pro. The categories of Pro Junior and Junior are new, having been added for the 2007 season.
First up to receive his award was the 2007 Junior Champion, 15-year-old One Anwar from Sumbawa. One (pronounced Oh-Nay) has been on fire this year, first winning the 2007 Quiksilver King of the Groms series (which got him a trip to France for the Grand Finals in August) and then just last week taking the overall win at the 2007 Rip Curl GromSearch series for the second year in a row. That means hell be going to Australia again in 2008 to compete in the World GromSearch Finals at Bells Beach. First Runner Up in the Junior category was Komang Putra Hermawan, and Ones older brother, Gazali Hamzah, was 2nd Runner Up.
Next to take the stage was 2007 Pro Junior Champion Mustofa Jeksen, no stranger to the podium and at 17 years old already a seasoned veteran, having traveled to many international destinations to free surf and to compete. Jeksen was last years ISC Rookie of the Year, and this year gets honors for finishing at the top of the rankings for an Indonesian in the newly introduced Billabong Pro Junior Series. 1st Runner up was the absent Agus Pernawan, and 2nd Runner Up was Kadek Murtika.
For the second year in a row, Kutas local legend and owner of The Surf Shop on Jalan Legian, Wayan Gantiyasa, took top spot in the Masters division. He climbed up on the stage to receive his trophy with the help and cheers of his friends. He had apparently been celebrating for several hours before his arrival, and seemed to be enjoying his evening immensely. 1st Runner Up was Wayan Pica, and 2nd Runner Up was none other than Bali Barrels Ketut Menda.
Before the man of the evening was called up, MCs Rani and Rahtu first called up Marlon Gerber to accept the 2nd Runner Up award for last years Number 1, and Marlons brother-in-law, Rizal Tanjung. (Rizal was in Japan so couldnt attend.) Next up was 1st Runner Up Wayan Suprayitna, who had his first ISC win at the Oakley Thump this year and has been a strong competitor in every event in the 2007 season tour.
Mr. Popular Lee Wilson was then called to the stage amidst the cheers and hoots of the crowd to receive his trophy. When MC Rahtu handed him the microphone, Lee had this to say: I started the year with this goal in mind, to win the championship, and to be here and have it come true is magic. I want to thank everyone involved in this tour and in the industry for making this possible. There are so many people that all play their parts, all along the way, and they are all really important, so without them I couldnt stand up here now. And especially I want to thank my Dad and Mom, who have given me unbelievable support. Thanks everyone!
Lee was 1st Runner Up to Rizal Tanjung in 2006, and set out at the beginning of the 2007 season to put his name on the trophy by the end of the year. His go-for-it style, natural ability, and commitment to the goals he set put him solidly in first place with wins at the first two events of the season, a position he retained through the remainder of the season. Lee was born and raised in Indonesia, his father from Australia and his mother is Indonesian. He has been sponsored by Rip Curl since he was 13 years old, and has been featured in numerous times in international surfing magazines and videos.
