Major Stok’em 7
Presented by Muirskate, Ghostskate and Shralpers Union, are excited to host Major Stok’em 7!
The Major Stok’em Race Series is one of the longest running and best attended downhill races in the New York City & New Jersey Areas. Major Stokem has been a starting point for many of today’s top downhill riders.
Many claim that Major Stok’em was in fact “My very first downhill race”. The hill is fun and exciting for beginners and experienced riders alike. Top speed on the hills is between 29 – 39 mph depending on the wind.
There are only 80 racing spots and participants can skate the hill prior to the contest. Many great skate products will be up for grabs for the top 3 riders in each class. There will be a raffle of sweet skate products to raise money for the Non-Profit Youth Group STOKED. Tickets will be 1 for $5 or 5 for $20, and there will be tons of great skate prizes. Please help us support this terrific action sports youth charity.
We would like to gratefully acknowledge all of our amazing sponsors from across the country who have helped make this event possible., event title Sponsor Muirskate, and supporting sponsors Uncle Funkys, G-Form, Stim Trucks, Loaded, Orangatang, NUN, Landyatchz, Original, Wild Monkey Racing, Bern, Bustin Boards, Community Shop, and Hogwash!
Artwork will be formally introduced of “The Union Genera!” poster art for Major Stok’em 7 designed by Gino Dibianco. This race has always received tremendous support from Shralpers Union – and this year is no different, as noticed by the logo dressing the hat of the “Union General!” who kinda looks like a pirate too, so “Yarrrr”!!! Please visit www.ginode.com to view more works by Gino Di Bianco.

Hoverboard Newest Hits World
Geek.com reports Lexus built their own skate park, with a special metal track embedded in the ground throughout the area. That track works as one giant magnet, which when met with the 32 super conductors built into the Slide, repels the board a few inches off the ground. In order for the super conductors in the Slide to work, they have to be cooled to -321 Fahrenheit. You have to “refuel” the board with 50z of liquid nitrogen every ten minutes to keep those crazy magnets cold. Read it all on GEEEK
