DC KING OF BARCELONA IS JUST TWO WEEKS AWAY
|
Our takeover of Europe’s skate mecca is a mere two weeks away! From September 1-15, DC will be in Spain for DC King of Barcelona, the third installment of the innovative King of series and the first contest outside the United States. Check out www.dckingof.com for all the details on the upcoming amateur street skating contest.
Barcelona was the obvious choice for next contest in the series. It’s one of the best street skating cities in the world, and the level of talent of Barce’s local amateurs is incredible. Those skaters will battle it out at some incredible spots as they fight for the DC King of Barcelona title and over 6000€ in prizes. First, the marble tables at Sants. Second, Forum. Third, a secret (but definitely infamous) Barcelona spot.
All unpaid amateurs are welcome to skate DC King of Barcelona… check out the COMEPTITION section at www.dckingof.comfor details on how to get in!

The Forum: one of three spots DC and Barce ams will hit next month.
|
As with previous DC King of trips, the skate team will be on hand throughout. Between judging the contests and hitting the autograph signings and special events (see the CALENDAR section), the guys will be doing plenty of skating of their own… look for the footage in the DC King of Barcelona podcast (coming after the trip).
Once the event gets rolling, stay tuned to www.dckingof.com for updates—that means contest results, daily updates, lots of photos, and behind the scenes on some of your favorite DC skateboarders.

RICKY CARMICHAEL CAPS OFF CAREER WITH A WIN (HIS 150TH!)
|
|
Typical view RC's competitors get. When people call this guy the Greatest of All Time it's no joke!
|
Last weekend Ricky Carmichael finished his legendary two-wheel career with a win at the Millville National, the 150th victory of career. He did so in typical RC fashion, going 1-1 to earn his last Moto podium ever.
RC chose to end his career this year, and only raced 2007 part time for fun and for the fans. Nonetheless, he won all six races he entered. And looking back, he raced 10 Outdoor seasons, and won all 10 Outdoor championships for those years.
In the first Moto Ricky got caught in some early traffic, but it wasn’t long before he was out front and slowly increasing his lead, whipping his Makita Suzuki for the fans on the way to his first checkered of the day. The second Moto was more of the same, with Ricky starting things off in the top 10 and taking the lead by the end of lap three. He was then gone, running away with the win.
|
|
It's impossible to define the impact this man has had on the sport.
|
About his career, RC said this week, “…I definitely gave it 100 percent all the time and I have no regrets with anything that I did. I am happy to say that. That is one thing I never wanted to do, and that is look back and say I wish I would have done this. It’s not the end of an era because there are a couple more coming up and I am excited about it.”
By “a couple more” RC means Moto of Nations next month at Budds Creek, then rumors of 1 or 2 more races this year. Stay tuned to the DC Newsclip for more MX action, and check out Racer X’s Monday conversation with Ricky now… go here.
