Sk8Kings US Nationals at Oceanside went down July 13 and 14, 2013. Great skaters congregated at Loretta Street from as far away as Washington, Utah, Colorado, St. Louis, Texas, and Florida. Loretta Street is known for its steep pitch and slippery surface. It takes a master to conquer the 25 mph tight and 30+ mph GS. The dual hybrid is one of the funnest around, dodging quickly around cracks and potholes. The tight slalom ran single lane in one course that was a true pro style. It was on par with the 2008 Worlds in Gothenburg. 3 of the best 11 slalom racers double dq'd. Those with looser stomachs could choose to run the easier course, and most did. Juniors could choose to run a half course for the experience. Sunday was a classic Loretta Street GS. Big wheels were in. Although we did our best to set a true GS, the race was won on a downhill board, by a rider who has mastered the pump-tuck. See results below.
At the end of the weekend, the overall winners were announced. These racers qualified by completing all three events (Juniors and Women had two events-tight and GS). Your 2013 Sk8Kings US National Champions are:

And I got first place for leaving the event before it was over. lol Big shout out to Richy for coaching and amazing product. Thanks to Hut for some training time and being at the race. It helped to have you there! Ravitch my traveling partner killed it. And I have to say big thanks to CrossFit West Santa Cruz trainersChris Morse, Jason (a.k.a. “J-Dogg”) and Cliff Hodges the new work outs have helped.
