Would back this if they announced J Casanova as the "emcee". The $650 they listed should do the job.
-
Or every thrasher king of the road where they do it at a random park. Doesn't need to be some designated racing course. Someone should get Jedi in it though.
-
I am just stoked on the banner placement, i would just melt if i could see Andy Mac and some Brazilian doing Bennihannas over a Monster logo. this is on my radar in life and in my checking account.
-
OH JESUS H CHRIST of COURSE I'll back this it's Andy Mac for JESUS H CHRIST'S SAKE
-
First its skatercross, but its pretty obvious that Andy is really trying to steal train racing from both Tony Hawk and Jedi.
-
Skating a pumptrack is so fun even if it is dirt, so that looks really fun to me. Of course Andy Mac's cheese had to be smeared all over and ruins the whole thing, but still looks fun.
-
Holy crap this is xtreme.
-
That dude from Wayne's World is hosting the first event. Excellent.
-
I heard Tas was actually gonna do this first?
-
If Grant Taylor was in this I'm sure a lot of us would watch.
-
As a hockey fan, red bull crashed ice was pretty fun to watch.
As a skateboarder, this would be fun to watch as well.
But Im not gonna pay to watch either
-
I bareback this.
-
Should be a race down a San Francisco street.

Im in. Your throw 4 people on that and everyone will slam very hard
-
if you want something like this to catch on, Andy Mac is not the right representative
-
Surprised his Amazon pay check doesn't pay for this.
-
Andy Mac used to ride for Hot Wheels. I smell some very lucrative cross promotion!

TNT & GT will dominate this hot wheels track.
Seems like a manufactured division of skateboarding to fit into the Olympics, like when snowboarding went to the Olympics they had vert, slalom & boardacross
-

It seemed like it was probably all his idea and he likely had that track built with his own funds in an attempt to stay in the industry. Didn't he make enough money to buy a vineyard or get into real estate or something?

Kick started or not it's happening.

Tony rode for hot wheels too. Felt like I needed to add this bit of information for whatever reason.
Is Airwalk still a thing?
I just watched the video. Can't see how this is going to be successful. I wonder if they are actually using that track they built for something. They can't be that far away from me if they're in NC so I may be able to finally realize my dream of seeing Andy Mac skate in person.
-
The "course" (track?) is pretty underwhelming. Everything seems pretty small. If it was Lincoln City sized it could be pretty interesting to watch people fly through it.
-
If it is Hot Wheels backed, it needs a loop.
Is this the first time someone has invented an event, so they can get a chance of winning gold?
I'd watch this though. Pretty sure that Baros midget would crush it.

Danny Way and his Mega Ramp kind of, which is funny because if I remember correctly Andy was the only other guy trying to do big-ramp distance jumping and eventually Danny made it mega. Now I just want to see Danny Way make this setup MEGA!
-
I don't understand how the turns are even fair, why not have a event where you can throw banana peels and oil spills. Maybe throw a rail so when you grind it you. Catch speed likethps

I dont back the race format,
but i dream since years about to design the
track a mix of snakerun/ pumptrack and jump
and transfer possabilitys- let grindline build some!
-
can't deny this looks fun, but it is terrible idea for a "fair" contest series.
-
I feel like it needs to take more leads from Mario Kart though. A few oil slicks, red shells, short cuts etc.
I'd love to see Andy Mac shrunk and run over by Ben Hatchell.
May be they could dress up? Grosso would make a good Bowser.
-
Someone needs to bring back the, "Joust" like in, "Thrashin'."

What? Andy Mac shrunk? It could work in that way too, I suppose.

make this happen, it should be pretty entertaining seeing them push this into mainstream ... they should get doug brown to participate

If it ain't the dew tour/gravity games, Doug ain't going and that's the bottom line.

those two contests series seem like the only ones that would be willing to give it a go ... so, we might see doug yet!
-
That didn't look as exciting as I would've imagined. The course should be way bigger and there should be long gaps with flat bars so that you have to grind over them or something. Would watch if Grant, trujillo, raven, etc. were in it though. Surprised RedBull hasn't already done this
-
Looks like someone's beaten Andy Mac to it...

Cheesy as that is, I reckon it would be fun to skate for a day. Get a BBQ going... Few drinks...

a 5 block race with cars that move from parking space to parking space as well as gravel pits, pedestrians and train tracks? I'd back this
-
Redbull created some event really similar to this recently.
Seems more crossfit than skateboarding

Great, now some skaters will say "I don't sake, I do skatercorss." We will never hear the end of how it's way different.
