38yo Gaines Harrison is like a surfer when it comes to down hill speed and racing on a skateboard here in Florida. He has to hunt for hills and spots to skate just like a surfer looking for waves or even that perfect wave. But when you find that perfect spot its like magic happening! And this spot is secret!
you cant wait to go back and skate it again and what makes it all worth while is he does it with his 3 boys, 2 of witch are sponsored by Gulf Coast. Gaines also known as Papa Dread on "
silverfishlongboarding.com" is one of the fastest guys in Florida on 4-wheels using gravity as his fuel.
With 3 sons you know they are not far behind. His oldest son also named Gaines has his tuck tight and the speed dialed in as he makes a practice run at the "Rock-star Energy drink" down hill race in Tallahassee, Floria a few months back. Here is a picture of him (below) on his run.
If you watch or follow the gravity games look for these guys names and check out the video's on the
www.gulfcoastskateshop.com site where you can see footy of these guys bombing hills all over Florida and GA.Thought Florida was all flat? Think again!
The average day of skating in their home town of Brooksville, Florida are down hill runs well over 40mph with left and right hand turns. Some runs are over a mile long!
