We will soon be officially announcing the Vintage Day & Longboard Day that will take place at the Vans Skatepark near Washington DC on Nov. 16, 2002.
This year will feature:
-> Modified Banked Slalom Race (open for all boards, if you were there for the May race, then you know how fun it was)
-> Collectors Displaying their Vintage Gear & Photos (any collection can be shown, even new equipment such as quality finished longboards, photos, art-work, etc.)
Surfrider Foundation-Washington DC Chapter is working out the details with Vans. This will be our 3rd year for the event at Vans. Also this event will kick off the DC Winter Series as the first race.
E-mail us if you want to details on how to show your collection for free or if you want to sponsor the event with some swag (boards, trucks, wheels, shirts, stickers, etc)

Broadway Bomb

Broadway Bomb race in New York City.
This is a serious race for longboarders who are EXPERIENCED in riding in vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
The race is on Saturday October 19th at 12 noon. We will meet at 110th street and Broadway. We will start soon after 12 and race down Broadway 7 miles through cars, trucks and people.
The finish line is Bowling Green Park at the tip of Manhattan where Broadway starts. There is a statue of a bull at the northern end of Bowling Green and the first rider to touch the bull wins! I cannot stress the danger of this race enough. I have been riding in NYC for 25 years and yet was hit by a car just last week.
There are prizes and a party after the race. There are no entrance fees for this race.
I cannot be responsible for the safety of riders. Please do not enter this race unless you are very experienced riding in traffic. I suggest riders wear protective equipment, especially helmets.
For more info please call Ian at 917-674-7683 or E-mail at ibunyc@aol.com also check out the website

Dave G,
Anything you can tell all of us about the race course surface quality? Could help us all to have an idea what types of wheels to bring.

Sunday Reston Outlaw

GBJ and PAdan, this will be a true Outlaw session. I haven't skated there yet but drove through the parking lot this week. Bust factor is unknown.
Go out the Dulles toll road and get off at the Reston Parkway exit. Go left at the light. You will go back over the toll toad. The first light is Sunrise Valley Drive. Go right and begin looking to your left. I cannot remember the Company that occupies the building but it is a very large building with many driveway options around the building. If you go past the US Geological Survey sigh you have gone too far. Turn around and look again on your right. The parking lot is kind of in back and ther alot of trees. Call my cell if you cannot find it...703-969-1773
I don't have a contingent plan. Just stoked to ride a new spot.

Due to a series of snafus, mostly related to the results from races in Europe, the IGSA rankings got held up for months. But the results have now been computed, and will be posted at gravity-sports.com next week. Note that the rankings there are based on the top 4 results only, but the California Championship will be based on the total number of races in each discipline minus one. For example, tight slalom will be based on 6 of the 7 tight slalom races.
The rankings so far in tight slalom are:
1 686.30 Richie Carrasco
2 647.57 Attila Aszodi
3 406.99 Mike Gorman
4 405.35 John O'Shea
5 401.20 Roger Jennings
6 400.91 Michael Kaelon
7 219.93 Paul Dunn
8 215.73 Josh England
9 211.91 Wes Carpenter
10 208.37 Bill Wahl
10 208.37 Scott Johnston
12 205.06 Tiger Williams
13 198.97 Siale Saili
14 196.15 Marlon Whifield
GS rankings (combined short/long in this version):
1 889.00 Richie Carrasco
2 879.71 Attila Aszodi
3 826.85 Roger Jennings
4 640.72 John O'Shea
5 598.19 Mike Gorman

Looking at the weather (thanks Vlad Ryan), we are most likely to be rained out. If you have my # you can call me
for updates.
The outlaw session in Reston will be Sunday around 4pm. The location is off of Sunrise Valley Drive. Who is interested?

Would the plan for the velodrome be - to use one of the walls as a start ramp and then enter a course that runs along the 'flatbottom' of the whole place?
¿(¡)Is the velodrome a concrete bowl with a bike track running around it(!)?

Dude...if you get the velodrome, I'm bringing my pintail and "surfing" 'round and 'round in circles!
Probably as close as I'll get to my dream of riding my one-speed bike around, or dropping in on with a longboard, the high bank at Daytona Speedway...

I also have a spor where a flat course can be set. And to boot, it`s right at a vert ramp. I`m sure you`ve seen pics of Brian Picolo Park? If I work on the managers of the park (my inlaws work there) we could possible use the Velodome. It`s a round track for inliners with banked walls all around. No opposing wall for a banked salom course but one wall could be transformed into a ramp. Then a tight course on butter smooth `crete...hmmm??
