World Skate Games Guinness World Record Oldest Female Skateboard Competitor

It's been a week for sure. The IG post and video has had over 800,000 views in a little over a week. I have skated for 50 years and never gotten much media until this past 3 years after skating at the World Skate Games in Argentina and Collin Kruse @couchslide followed me with my iphone and took race practice footage. I posted on the hill and it got traction.

World Skate Games posted this story "A Journey of a Lifetime" Guinness World Record Holder & Skateboarding Legend: Judi Oyama Judi Oyama enters Guinness World Records!, with my father's photo from the Capitola Classic.

Thank you for the post. Wow it's been an amazing week and it's only Wednesday!

World Skate Games 2024 Italy quick update new results

 

                            Leiola and I at our Hotel in Italy.

 

Slalom magazine designed by Jani Soderhall and put together for the race.

The racing was amazing. I have been meaning to post about Worlds. So many amazing things have been happening. The film crew Lou and Brea followed Leiola Kahuku and I to Italy with Leiola's family. Her parents and two Uncles.

Practice day photo on the Hybrid by Max Eaton. Leiola and family went up on Tuesday to check out the race locations. It was extra effort and 120.00 round trip to go the 20 minutes by van to the hill. I wanted to see the hill and the foot braking. The GS was the first race which had a gnarly left turn with grates and manhole covers to look out for. 

Leiola did amazing at her second slalom competition. This is the Giant Slalom photo by Max Eaton. This was a fast hill.

I posted a few videos of the runs on my YouTube Channel.

Coach 64 vs student 16

Judi Oyama VS Maïté Fournier-Parent (CAN) 64 vs 22

Collin follow on the World Skate Games slalom skateboard
Hybrid with Sasuka from Japan 19 vs 64!

I didn't know until this morning that I was 13th overall. All the information I had leaving Italy I was 14th. Super cool to move up one.

Wow CBS Morning Show story aired never too old!

Just when I think my 15 minutes of fame is over I keep getting emails, texts and calls to do a story. I got an email yesterday morning but was at CrossFit working out at 6:00 am. When I finished class I was looking at my phone of course and had friends texting me saying they watched the CBS Morning Show. 

Vince my old tent mate from doing the Aids Ride 5 back in the 90's was the first to DM me. We have stayed friends ever since and had some of the most belly laughs when we were getting up the morning after 100 day rides riding from SF to LA.

It's Judi not Jody for the record. Either way I am stoked.

Thank you to the NHS crew and Rich Novak for letting us film in the NHS Museum.

Thank you Jamie Yuccas CBS News!

A few more images from the World Skate Games Straight Parallel Slalom in Argentina 2022

This is Saturday's 68 cone Straight Parallel Slalom at the World Skate Games 2022 in Argentina on the San Juan Villicum Race Track in Argentina.

Collin Kruse is doing a iPhone follow below is the video he took. He's really good at it and a great all around skateboarder. These photos are by Monique Soderhall, Jani's wife who was kind enough to shoot in the heat. This was the most organized race I have ever been too. They had cold water and drinks at the top and the bottom of the hill. They provided snacks and lunch. We had full live coverage and on site camera crew at both the race track and the giant slalom hill.

If you go I recommend buying the package hotel deal with Worlds. We had 3 great assistants at the Don Thomas Hotel. Had breakfast home baked pastries, fresh fruit and made us scrambled eggs, we got a boxed lunch to take to the race and an amazing dinner each day. This came with transport to the races and back and to and from the airport. It was easier than renting a car and trying to figure out monies and places to go.

After two runs I was beat by 0.211 seconds. 

I lost focus on the bottom of one of the runs and almost DQ'd.
I hit 5 cones but got back on course. I was running clean most of my other races. The second run was close but since I hit cones so I didn't move forward and Suzuka did. It's cool to see the next generation of slalom racers coming into the fold. 

I was stoked to meet and race 17 year old ripper Japanese Skateboarder Suzuka Nakanishi.

Here is a new Youtube link to the finish on our tight race.

She got me on the line and my first run I hit cones because I lost my focus. 

Suzuka advanced to the round of 4. I did beat her on the other three races. Shit happens. She's the future of slalom.

USA Slalom Skateboard Team Logo and sponsorship for the World Skate Games

There was not a logo for the team so I put one together and it's going on all of the team shirts and jerseys. Being a graphic designer it's hard for me not to design everything. 

I am overwhelmed with all the support from sponsors, friends, family and people I have never met.

It's getting real and I am super excited that I am on the USA Slalom Skateboard Team and have the opportunity to travel and skateboard internationally. 

Stoked on having two of these made for my race.

Camelbak custom stainless steel water bottles.

With the filter system.

You can do snail mail and get a tax right off.

Stussy Laura T-shirt Pink Sold

Stussy Laura T-shirt Blue Sold

I have been doing some homework on some Stussy items I have gotten from the third employee. She's my BFF and had been wanting me to sell her stuff for years. She gave me the items after I stayed at her place. I have asked her several times to make sure she really wanted me to sell her pieces for my trip to skateboard in Argentina at the World Skate Games. 

I had know idea about the history of this tribe jacket or the OG t-shirts people like to buy.

I have not posted these yet but will in the next few weeks.

My last piece I have from my BFF Frances the name on the jacket is Francine her nickname at Stüssy. She was the third employee hired by Shawn. 

Back in 1987 the Stussy Tribe Varsity Jacket was simply known as the Homeboy Jacket, crafted with traditional letterman styling with a wool melton body, leather sleeves and irie colors on the chenille patch. It was created exclusively for members of the Tribe.

The one-of-a-kind jackets, featuring personalized embroidery on the breast pocket, would eventually become the International Stussy Tribe Jacket, symbolizing loyalty, authenticity and heritage.

From an article on High Snobiety:

Seen as a symbol for loyalty, authenticity and heritage, the IST is an OG piece of outerwear that sees its influence present on modern day staple streetwear offerings like the stadium jacket. The International Stussy Tribe Jacket is and will always be a reminder that success stems from meaningful relationships with like minded individuals."

Size Men's Small

Ribbed collar closed is 9" across

Chest 23 1/2 across

Length of jacket from back of collar to bottom hem is 27"

Sleeve length is 23"

3 inch cuff opened out and 20" leather sleeve

Irie Rasta Colored Chenille Patch on the back is 11 1/2" round

Wool Melton Body

Leather sleeves

Personalized embroidery Francine

The Jacket does not have any instructions or where it was made.

My eBay will is foyster2 I'm selling the last of the Stussy stuff now.
