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.

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!
