		<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>I came across this <a href="http://skateboard.about.com/od/skateboardingdictionary/a/Skateboard_Slang.htm">article</a> regarding <strong>skateboarding slang</strong> and thought it was pretty funny so I thought I would publish there idea of what the commonly most used phrases where.</p>
<p><strong>Sick</strong> &#8211; this means the same as &#8220;cool&#8221; or for you older guys, &#8220;rad&#8221;. Pretty much anything can be sick. You can pull off a sick trick, have a sick board, or a skatepark can be sick. It&#8217;s one of those slang words like &#8220;bad&#8221; was a decade ago, meaning the opposite. Along with &#8220;sick&#8221;, something really cool might get called &#8220;ill&#8221;, &#8220;insane&#8221;, &#8220;gnar&#8221; (short for &#8220;gnarly&#8221;), or even &#8220;rad&#8221; or &#8220;righteous&#8221;.<br />
<strong>Stoked</strong> &#8211; to like something or to be excited. I am stoked that you are reading this. I&#8217;m stoked I can land a tre-flip. The word comes from making a fire bigger &#8211; when you add fire to it, or fan the flames, you are &#8220;stoking&#8221; the fire.<br />
<strong>Sketchy</strong> &#8211; not well done, or not trustworthy. A sketchy trick looked badly done (&#8220;clean&#8221; is the opposite &#8211; a clean trick looked flawless). A sketchy person is someone who you don&#8217;t want to bring home for dinner. A sketchy skateboard is a piece of junk that might break. I think it&#8217;s funny that the shoe company &#8220;Sketchers&#8221; tries to make shoes that LOOK like skate shoes, but are, in fact, sketchy.<br />
<strong>Bail</strong> &#8211; to bail is to either fall, or to jump off of your board right before falling. It doesn&#8217;t get used all the time though &#8211; some people just say to fall or crash. The word &#8220;bail&#8221; is more traditional in skateboarding, but if the people you are around don&#8217;t use it, you might sound like you&#8217;re trying to hard if you insist on saying &#8220;bail&#8221; all the time!<br />
<strong>Poser </strong>- this is someone who looks like a skater, or who claims to be one, but who doesn&#8217;t know anything about skating. This term can be pretty hurtful, so don&#8217;t use it lightly. And it&#8217;s tough to know if someone truly IS a poser &#8211; read Posers Vs Slow Learners for more.</p>

<p>Touted as the world&#8217;s fastest snow cat vehicle, the TRAX STi combines two of Ken Block&#8217;s favorite things in life: &#8220;driving a rally car in the snow and snowboarding in the powder in the backcountry.&#8221;<br />

<p>Just in Time for the Holidays, a 400-Horse (-powered) Sleigh</p>
<p>CHERRY HILL, N.J., Nov. 2 — The Subaru WRX STI, when equipped with proper tires, is capable of impressive all-weather performance. But when even snow tires are not enough, Subaru offers a solution – a 400-hp WRX STI equipped with a snow tracks system, as showcased at the 2009 Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Nov. 3-6.</p>
<p>Starting with a rally-prepared 2009 WRX STI, Subaru Rally Team USA’s technical partner, Vermont SportsCar, built the one-off 400-hp TRAX STI envisioned by, and built for, DC Shoes co-founder and SRT USA driver Ken Block. The WRX STI TRAX is ready for the half-pipe, with a Yakima FatCat 4 Snowboard Rack up top, a Yakima Landing Pad rack base and DC Shoes XFB-C Snowboards. Naturally, there is a custom matching sleigh to go with it.</p>
<p>With the exception of the Mattracks rubber track system, the car is rally-prepared and similar in specification Block’s #43 SRT USA competition STI. Starting with a stock 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STI, Vermont SportsCar stripped the car’s interior bare, lightened the shell and then fully seam-welded it for added strength, also installing a multipoint roll cage manufactured from T45 steel. Major differences from the stock STI include the addition of lightweight carbon/Kevlar RECARO SPA ProRacer competition seats with the Head and Neck Restraint System (HANS), carbon fiber door panels and an onboard fire suppression system.</p>
<p>Under the hood, the ultimate Subaru snow machine sports a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder, turbocharged and intercooled STI engine tuned with a MOTEC M800 ECU. The engine, which kicks out approximately 400 hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque, is teamed with a KAPS 5-speed close-ratio dog-engagement gearbox and the Subaru programmable DCCD (Driver Controlled Center Differential) all-wheel drive system. Employing custom machined hubs, the drivetrain – which has been dropped three inches – is mated to Mattracks 105M1-A1 rubber track conversion. The car also features Group N competition rally dampers made by EXE-TC.</p>
<p>And Now for Something Completely Different</p>
<p>The WRX STI TRAX can bring four more friends along for the fun with its one-of-a-kind custom sleigh. Constructed with hand-laid fiberglass using sandwich-core construction, the sleigh runs on custom built steel skis with torsion bar suspension. Yakima FatCat 4 snowboard racks carry Qty 2 DC XFB Snowboards.</p>
<p>Protected beneath the padded roll bars are four heated and embroidered leather RECARO Speed seats with Sabelt 4-point harnesses. For music on the slopes, a marine grade water resistant Alpine digital media receiver is coupled with marine grade Kicker speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer. The rear of the sleigh features a large cooler and a grab-bar for towing snowboarders. Cup holders and LED lighting finish off the interior.</p>
<p>The sleigh also features a carbon fiber dashboard, center tunnel cover and rear-cooler cover. Tucked into a glovebox within the carbon fiber covered dashboard are two Viosport POV.1 camera systems. One camera lens is flush-mounted within the dashboard to film passengers, and the other is mounted high on the roll bar to record action around the sleigh.</p>
