DC Outlaw #5

Sorry guys for all of the mix-up. The hill in Adams Morgan that we were going to use is no longer available. I am going to go and check out another spot tonight.
I will leave it up to you guys on where and when you would like to race.
We can race at the Woodbridge Park and Ride on Saturday as the final to our series. This location has a fair surface and does not allow for duels. However the pitch is good and we have never been hassled there.
The DC locals can still race in Adams Morgan on Sunday just as an exhibition race.
Or if you guys want to postpone the series final to September 28th, that is another option.

This Sunday is the third WLAC slalom day of the season. Oust Bearings joins Turner Downhill in the sponsor pool, and we'll be spreading the goodies down the results sheet, you don't have to win the race to go home with some goodies. See you there for some tight slalom and fast slalom racing fun! (And I do mean fast!)

How about an old-school style pool contest.
A 30 minute open session contest in the pool (everyone skates as hard as they can for 30 minutes, judges pick winners). Seperate the competitors by age group.

In the Kidney (drop-in mandatory):
-Best grind/highest carve with the longest board.
-Best grind/highest carve with the most vintage board.
Best "vintagly" dressed (ei:Norcon helmet, Rector Shorts
w/matching tube socks, tee-shirt that would be considered
tight by today's standards, basketball knee/elbow pads
and so on)
Cabbage's "knock the beverage can off the coping" contest.

Brian P,
On 8/30/02 you wrote:
"Right now we are shooting for a Sunday race on September 8th in Adams Morgan downtown. We are teaming up with the DC Downhill guys and using their permissions and permits. I will have a definite on this by Monday the 2nd. This is out #1 spot.
The Leesburg Parks and Rec is still reviewing my application for a permit to use a city street. I should also know more next week on this location so this will be our #2 spot if for some reason the Adams Morgan spot falls through. This will be a Saturday race.
If our #1 and #2 spots fall through then we will race at the Woodbridge Park and Ride in Occoquan VA. This spot is a true outlaw spot so there are some other backup location that are nearby if we get shut down, Walker Rd and Rolling Rd."
And the winner is ????????????????

VINTAGE & LONGBOARD SKATEBOARD DAY
This Nov. will be the 3rd Vintage & Longboard Skateboard Day at the Potomac Mills Vans skate park. We are looking for ideas for this year’s event. Collectors of vintage equipment will again get to display their collection at the park but we need to figure out what other activities should go along with the displays. The idea is geared to promote longboard and old school skateboarding.
Here are some suggestions and I’m not sure if we can do more than just one. We are open for discussion and input. Ultimately this is a Surfrider Foundation fund raising event and we would need volunteers to help do any one of the below listed items.
SOME SUGGESTIONS:
Invite Guest Speaker on Historical Skateboard Moments- Creative Urethane Company (Son of the urethane wheel inventor)
Invite Guest Speaker on Municipal Park Building (Holliday, Team Pain, etc.)
Invite Guest Speaker(s)- Skate Legends (like Chaput, Hackett, Olson, Economy, Coleman, etc.)
Banked Slalom
Cross-country Slalom (similar to banked slalom but includes vert kickturns)
Mini-Cyber Slalom (not sure how many cones)
Pool Contest
Small Bowl Contest
Expression Session
Min-half pipe Contest
Micro-half pipe Contest
Indo-Board Contest (balance board)
What else?
Sponsors are also welcomed.

Can't slalom the Balston Parking Garage but it is worth cruising it on a longboard outlaw style. How bout it "Posse"? No cones, no timers, first one down to the bottom level is the winner.

DC Oulaw Race on Sept 7th

Ok, hears the deal on the DC Outlaw race next weekend.
Right now we are shooting for a Sunday race on September 8th in Adams Morgan downtown. We are teaming up with the DC Downhill guys and using their permissions and permits. I will have a definite on this by Monday the 2nd. This is out #1 spot.
The Leesburg Parks and Rec is still reviewing my application for a permit to use a city street. I should also know more next week on this location so this will be our #2 spot if for some reason the Adams Morgan spot falls through. This will be a Saturday race.
If our #1 and #2 spots fall through then we will race at the Woodbridge Park and Ride in Occoquan VA. This spot is a true outlaw spot so there are some other backup location that are nearby if we get shut down, Walker Rd and Rolling Rd.
I just want to keep you guys updated. Since we got shut down by THE MAN in Gaithersburg finding legit race sites is becoming more difficult. Hopefully all of my applications for permits submitted for our winter dates will be approved very soon. We will have guaranteed hills for everything going forward.

If anyone's up for some riding in Mammoth this weekend, give me a ring, I'm in the phone book. Plenty of great roads, including some new paving this summer!
And don't forget WLAC Sunday, Sept. 8.

If you are riding the Presidio in SF, you should hook up with the Flowlab guys. They know all the hills out there.

GGP slalom is boring! go to the Presidio! the road is called battery/story right by the log cabin. Also, do bring your longboards, it will pay off. we will be there around 1 pm.
see you there,
