You skate the corkscrew Doc?

fuck yes. yer talkin' suicide. thanks for asking because that skate race went backwards on the track from, at the time, the top of turn five down thru turn four. the corkscrew was turn six and going the other way. before the race started, myself and hutson tested the corkscrew for possibilities and it was crazy fast. the track continues downhill all the way to turn eight. even if you could make it a thousand yards you'd be going sixty or seventy easily. impossible unless your on some crazy luge machine with foot rubber for brakes.

that racecar photo of me is at the top of the corkscrew. check the nose. a few laps earlier this dumb chick driver spun right in the middle of the corkscrew, [about ten feet after this shot ] and was dead in the road facing right at me. I sweved, jumped the curb, and flew all the way over the island. finished 4th. [more body work]

I knew a guy when I worked at Honda that took the corkscrew at speed in a box van one time.

It's too bad Thrasher has forgotten its roots

hah! thats bitchin. we used to race beer cans down it. line up about six or seven at the top and they'd make both turns all by themselves.

yeah that track on a bike would be to die for. I rode my kawi to the downhill that day back in '80 but couldnt get it on the track. who knew that six years later I'd have several hundred hours of track time and come to know the place like the back of my hand. not to mention having crashed many times and spent several thousand dollars doing so. hahahha.
