Skogging, Switch Push, Pump and Carve - Longboarding Skateboarding Style

Skogging definition: SWITCH STANCE SKATEBOARDING, PUSH, PUMP AND CARVE - Asymmetrically speaking, this site may dispel notions that Chris Yandall invented switch stance. Chris is encouraging the skateboarding industry to take a long hard strong look at switching it up for push, pump and carving. He aggressively promotes and demonstrates the movement daily, especially for those skaters that want more out of their skating than sliding downhill runs and high impact transition riding. While skogging may seem a bit, Gessmerish, the fact of the matter is it's good for your body and can lead to meditative nirvana when the full skogging zone is entered.

Chris Yandall was pre-dogtown era and skated with the infamous Dogtowners Tony Alva and Jay Adams at a San Diego City run skateboard contest(1974-75) at Kate Sessions in Pacific Beach where he took 1st Place. Chris Yandall was 1975 World Slalom Downhill Champion at San Diego "Jack Murphy" stadium and earlier in the year, downhill champ at the Del Mar Contest featured in the "Dogtown" movie.

Chris has designed a unique riding system using larger wheels in the rear and smaller up front for long distance one-footed switch skateboarding on a very basic flat designed deck which outperforms most skateboards at a fraction of the cost. A full nose and tail with very little flex is required for a new addition to your quiver that you'll enjoy for aerobic exercise and a different ride that demands a keen sense of balance and stamina for grabbing the G-force by the balls and stoking up the honey. Combinations of Bennetts, Trackers, Seismics, 72mm and 62mm, with radded and de-radded truck angle pads compose a sweet tool for exercise and fun for the sure footed skaters looking for asymmetrical movements. His complete production board is available at SK8Kings. The original design of his skogging deck was a collaboration effort with John Galac who also makes a custom version of his skateboard deck. It's a handmade Galac and quite frankly, it's a piece of art :) rivaling Turner Summerski quality. If you don't know of John's custom work, check out --SF--!!!
