DC Outlaw Race Sat. 7/27

I understand GX's situation but I think the longboard race should always go first with the traditional slalom as the main event. If enough people pitch in to help Brian out, I bet we could finish up the race in a much timelier fashion. Also, the longboard slalom race draws non-slalomers to the DC Outlaw Races. I don't think that crowd would hang for a late night race. It's this new crowd we should try to draw into traditional slaloming. But GX is right; we should not have to go to late into the night. Sunday, I have to help move a mini half-pipe from VA to MD.

DC Outlaw Saturday

Sorry to disagree but most of the reasoning behind starting in the afternoon is the heat.
Saturday's forecast is to be in the mid-90's and drop to the low 70's in the evening.
If anything it should start later, not earlier.

Madison County Gravity Festival Race Information
Dear Racers,
Thanks again to all the athletes, friends, and family that came out to experience Maryhill’s Loops Road. You can find the results from that event our website at www.ediracing.com
The event at Rocks Road promises to be one to remember. With the help of Beagle, EDI has had the full support of a very enthusiastic town council. The race fans in upstate New York are so pumped up for this event, that they are utilizing their “I Love New York” tourism funds to promote this event to the public!
This will be the first qualifier for the Gravity Games, and the first race of the 2003 EDI series. Race course is 1.3 miles, with 400 foot vertical drop, seven turns, with maybe just one breaker and baby smooth pavement.
We will again have onsite registration, but we will need to charge a LATE FEE of $30 for onsite registration. We only accept CASH on site. Sorry no checks or credit cards will be accepted!
The deadline for entries for the Madison County race is August 6th This means your entry must be postmarked no later than August 6th. We will still accept credit card payment over the phone, please be advised that there will be a convenience charge added for this service.

The county of Eaton has stepped up and helped us secure dorm rooms at the local college. The rooms are $27 per person for the first night, and $20 per person for the remainder of your stay. Although the rooms are not air conditioned, they are the closest accommodations to the hill. The college is staffing these dorms especially for this event, so please book your rooms early.
The dorm room s will only be held until Monday, August 5th, and you MUST make your reservations with EDI. Please speak with Steph at EDI to get on a reservations list. Rooms can only be guaranteed with a credit card, and must be paid for in advance.

I'm all for it Geezer. It'll be good to get the wiggle on right away for me as well. I have things I could do and getting home earlier would be a big help. Of course your predicament is a bit tougher than any I may have.
Any DC Crew guys wanna chime in?

I am faced with a quandry. I want to do the outlaw race, I want to see the excellent Canadian band Sloan at 9:30 club 11 ish, and I need to get my sorry ass on a plane to Germany early the next day. How would folks feel about alternating long board early / short board early every month. UR13 drives all the way down here just to wiggle, and getting done with short board by like 8-9:00 would be a big help. At the track where I race Karts, they move every race 2 position earlier every week, so no one gets stuck getting home at 12 am every week. Also, the set up for the longboard is a lot quicker, and everyone would be fresher for what is for most people, their "main" event. just a serving suggestion. Also. congratulations to all East Coasters representing at LaCosta. Good job.

Outlway race 7/27 at the P&R?

Is there still an Outlaw Race scheduled for this Saturday night (7/27) at the P&R? Last time I talked to Brian was in Boston and he said it was on. I've seen no conversation or attempts at hyping the event here or elsewhere.
I just need to know if I'm heading up I-95 next Saturday? (Oh, those late afternoon-night events are perfect for me. Travel Saturday morning, race, sleep, drive home Sunday.)
Also, I live nowhere near DC but I'm talking about a DC event. Does that mean I'm taking up all the bandwidth with more DC chatter or is it apropos for me to ask my questions here? Just checking.

I'm riding the Battlefield (not Bull Run) around 4ish if the rain holds off. It'll be easier to park and leave if does start to rain.

DC/DC Downhill & Slalom Race? Sept. 7th

Duane,
There is a DC Outlaw Race scheduled for Sept. 7th, however, the race is Brian Parsons event. I bet Brian is open to discussion on merging the two events. When Brian gets back from La Costa, I'll ring him up about it. Personally, I think it is a good idea to help out Anthony. Maybe Anthony could get his employer to toss in major prizes to entice more of the east coast slalom crowd to come race.
Laters,
DR

DC Downhill & slalom ???

I know the DC crew reads this board so I'm posting this here. The DC Downhill competition is in doubt this year. The race is held on the back entrance to the National Zoo in DC adams morgan neighborhood. I was there last year and can tell you that this road would be dynamite for a balls-out GS race, the bottom portion of the downhill course is super smooth, shady, wide enough for dual, and levels out with a long run-out. I'm not in DC anymore so I am more instigating than I am ofering to get it done. The date is Sept. 7 To me it seems that two races are better than one, and set-up chores could be shared. Also a timing system for both races would be nice. See my post in speedboarding on same topic. See also Jims post there, the Montreal crew would bring racers for both, there's probably 5 out-of-town racers right there without even trying.

Beer Can Bashing in OC

Cabbage, Although I'm not all that good of a pool/vert rider, your Beer Can Bashing event sounds very cool and reminds me of a particular session at the legendary Cedar Crest Country Club Ramp back in the 80s! Depending on how good your contestants are, it can also be fun to place some of the cans on top of the coping, or even behind it, where they can only be reached with lapped grinds, lien-to-tails or rock and rolls (and yes, f-side rock 'n' rolls are worth way more points than b-side rock 'n' rolls). I still have photos of that session at Cedar Crest, with the intensity of serious vert skaters focusing on pinpoint landing their lien-to-tails, in the attempt to deliver a particularly punishing and crushing downblow to the target can.

Wow, this event sounds killer. If it was not for going to La Costa I would be there.
Good to know that our DC guys will be there to carry the torch.
Watch out for the Will Kimbel. He is a ripper. LBK is not bad either...for an old guy. :)

Ocean Bowl pool contest/Ramones tribute

Now that the spirt boys, I like it, we are also planing on having a new event in the pool. Beer can's or some cans on the coping in random spots and the deal is you get one run and have to knock down as many as you can while grinding f/s or b/s, while avoiding the ones you knock into the pool. Oh yeah, while singing Ramones lrycs... Hoping with all you slalom boy's comming, the bank slalom will rock. We need Team fun John Dillon to show up, Team Fun if your out there make it to the beach sun. We also need cones for the bank slalom, I'll bring the duck tape..........If enough of you show up we'll have a longboard espression session, maybe jam format? Cool stoked to see all the support, Last contest they had a bunch of bleachers set up and they were packed with spectators, anyone going to be down fri-sat? I'm sk8ing all weekend and filming for new Gravity DVD to be released around the end of summer, show up so I can get some footage of our scene......sk8 or die.
