"When you hit the pavement at 70 mph it doesn't matter what your name is or who you ride for". Craig Stecyk, 1977 Skateboarder Magazine. "Racing a skateboard down hills at 50 mph is certainly the most dangerous thing you can do on 4 wheels. That shouldn't stop you from trying it, but it is a compelling case for wearing safety gear". Joe Lehm, TimeShip Racing. "Everyone wants to learn to go faster, but when someone asks me to teach them how to downhill, the very first thing I teach them is how to STOP!" Biker Sherlock, Team Dregs.
