The Pro Boarders Pronunciation Spot

[Hyper Shadow]

Right, I've been having this ongoing saga with my brother on how to pronounce Bucky Lasek's surname, I saw the Best of X-Games 2001 and they appeared to go with many variations;

Lay-Zek
Laz-ek
Las-ek
Lay-sek
Lace-ek

Does anyone know how Bucky pronounces it??

[infoxicated]

Lay-sek is the way I pronounce it. :smile:

[Lance]

lay-sek would be my choice, too. i suppose lah-sek would be an option if he were European. [Bucky? not likely. :wink: ]

[Confusion]

I swear it's Lah-sec. I think I heard his name being mentioned in the promo for a video or something.

Personally Lasek's vert skating doens't really interest me... I'd rather watch someone like Ali Cairns on the vert... ohhhh I love his style. :smile:

PS: Anyone here downloaded some skate videos off morpheus... I got Blind - Video Days off morpheus... :grin:

I love vert, more so than street. Definatly gotta love the speed and amplitude that Rune Glifberg gets and the pure ingenuity of Bob Burnquist. Think I'll have to find me somewhere that I can do some vert skating...

[Confusion]

Glifberg is king of vert at the moment... I hear his name pop up every so often in the Shocker section of Sidewalk for winning another Vert comp...

Vert takes a hell of a lot of skill... I'd love to take it up proper one day, but for now I'll stick with my street. Besides.. I'm hooked on learning frontside Crooks right now :reddevil
