What is stand up spike?

Answer 1

SUS™ or Stand Up Spike™ has it's roots based in Stand Up Paddle or SUP and Skateboarding or longboarding. Innovator and life long full body fitness enthusiast Enrique G. Cubillo had desired to practice SUP, a water based balance board sport. His time being constrained and without logistically simple warm water at his disposal he innovated the sport of Stand Up Spike™ as well as created the world's first SkateBoard Spike™ pat. pend.

SUS™ is practiced with any skateboard and a SkateBoard Spike™ pat. pend. Helmet and protective gear is recommended. The feet never leave the deck of the skateboard. The athlete uses a spiking motion towards the rear of the board. The Spike strikes at or near the rear wheels. SUS™ may only be performed on asphalt. The SkateBoard Spike™ pat pend. shall not work on concrete. The return stroke is also a vertical move parallel to the body. SUS™ may be practiced on flat terrain as well as up hills on grades as steep at 10% as well as in rain and moderate ice and sleet cover. A board fit with fenders is optimal for rain and snow slush conditions.

SUS™ may be raced in conjunction with slalom cones down and SUS™ back up in a series of three or more circuit repetitions.

SUS™ comprises one third of the moves required in the sport of SpikeBoarding™ and is represented by the I symbol in O-I-X SpikeBoard Racing Rules (see SpikeBoarding).
