CHALLENGE 1... ENGLISH GATE
Two cones (the "gate") will be set up 4 feet apart (inside measurement), you will pass through and around these cones in a sequence of movements, your time starts when you cross the line of the gate and finish when you pass the line of the gate with the last executed move.
AS FOLLOWS:
FORWARD THRU TURN
FORWARD THRU TURN
FORWARD THRU
BACK ALONG ONE SIDE FORWARD THRU
BACK ALONG THE OTHER SIDE FORWARD THRU
BACK ALONG THE SAME SIDE TURN
BACKWARD THRU, TURN
BACKWARDS THRU TURN
BACKWARDS THRU
FORWARD ALONG ONE SIDE BACKWARDS THRU
FORWARD ALONG THE OTHER SIDE BACKWARDS THRU.
DONE!
Penalties: A 2 second penalty will be added to your time for every time you step off your board.
Technique
You will notice that the sequence is a series of 5 forward thru, and 5 backward thru, and turns are a crucial part, the faster the turn, the faster the time, its tempting to do 180 spins, but you must remain in control, because if you fall off there's that pesky 2 second penalty added to your time. If you're doing wider turns its best if you exit the gate to one side to make room for your wide loop.
REMEMBER YOU MAY DO THE CHALLENGE AS MANY TIMES AS YOU'D LIKE DURING THE CHALLENGE PERIOD (ONE WEEK). SEND IN A VIDEO OF YOUR CHALLENGE, AND A DESCRIPTION OF HOW TO SET IT UP. WE WILL USE YOUR NAME AND LOCATION UNLESS YOU SPECIFY OTHERWISE, WE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT HOMETOWN GROUP YOU RIDE WITH, AND ANY BACK STORY ABOUT HOW YOU CAME UP WITH YOUR CHALLENGE.
About Us
How the Stoke Got Started
"In 2015, after stepping on a friends Onewheel, (who got in on the Kickstarter), I was hooked! A few months later I had my own, a few months after that I was selling them out of the kayak shop I managed. From that moment on I have been sharing the experience and the STOKE with everyone I ran into. Organizing an event like this has been in the back of my mind since the start, Our local community of Onewheel, ESK8, and EUC's have been inspiring, and when others were making it a reality, I knew I had to get off my donkey and make that dream a reality too for the Washington DC, DMV, Mid-Atlantic region. Thus the STOKE LIFE FEST was created, for the community by the community.
To be clear, this is a community effort, I'm just STOKING the fire" - Bruce
Just try to wipe that grin off your face!
Believe me, my friend, there is nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about with Onewheels, on or around them.
-(slight alteration of Kenneth Grahame's quote, Wind in the Willows)
