God Must hate the DC races

60 flippin degrees today, mid 20's on this coming sat.
I think next time a 60 degree freak day is forcast, it calls for every DCer to call in sick & have a race.
I think God hates the races more than mobile home parks in tornado season.........

Howdy Outlaws,
I'll be there on Sat. The Weather is looking nice. This will be my first race on a slalom course.(besides that $5 elbow skinner bet last year Zoller) I am in desparate need of some trucks this weekend. If anyone can help me out I would offer to trade a new board for a pair of good wide trucks. E-mail me for some pics of my boards and I'll meet you at the race with it. I also have some boards on E-bay (search for *Littletree*)Later all I'll see you there.

Thanks Slappy...The weather is warming up and the snow is melting...Looks like Saturday is going to be a go. I am going by the hill tomorrow to make sure there are not any unexpected obstacles.
Remember that there will be a Bahne Black Hill Spec class race, longboards and traditional slalom.
The start will be a push start about 15 ft to the first cone. Single Lane. Hybrid beginner friendly course.
For those that have never been to Fountainhead, park at the gate and walk about 100 yards into the park you cannot miss us.
I will be at Vans tomorrow night 9-11.

Hey Cabbage and others,
Here's the address to use for Mapquest, etc.
Fountainhead Regional Park
10875 Hampton Road
Fairfax Station, VA
It's not too far off of RT.123
Anyone coming from points North it's probably easiest to go I-95 to the Occoquan/Rt. 123 exit. (Just a few exits before Vans).

I'm glad to hear y'all are gearing up for it. Things may change as far as date. A new wrinkle has come up and we are talking to the neighborhood committee today. The Tour Le Fluer bike race is on our street on April 12th. Red Bull has asked if we can race at night. I'm not really feeling good about that no matter what lighting we have.

JPL Preview

Anyone who wants a preview of MG's JPL Outlaw race, here's a few clips I shot during practice runs at the last one:
Conedance1.mov (1.7MB)
Conedance2(1.7MB)
These were both shot holding a digital camera running in Quicktime mode (hence the less than perfect image quality). Actual race speeds were faster, as I didn't want to drop the camera, I wanted to make clean runs, and it's tough running a course while trying to hold your right hand motionless... :-)

No snow tonight. The weather forecast for tomorrow looks fine. I don't condone last minute race decisions, but I think it's better to race tomorrow than to wait til next weekend. Some will be away at ECES next weekend. Don't forget, wind won't be a factor at Fountainhead. Let's race!

Anyone want to carpool to ECES next wed eve & ret thurs eve or friday?I've got the itch...if I can get off work I'm there for a day. We can stop & slalom on any dry surfaces to & from if we can find any on the east coast!

Working toward our biggest event in Mississippi ever. Red Bull has agreed to help us out this time and it should make for a great race.
Come race down deep in the south.

Well, the weather has done it again. No outdoor racing in DC this weekend. We will try again on January 11th at Fountainhead park.
If anyone has any questions about our Outlaw Series, or is interested in getting involved in slalom racing in the DC area, please drop me a line.
I know the DC guys are having race withdrawels. It might be a good idea the try to work something out with the Ski resorts to move our racing onto the snow.

Deathbox Expression Session

Sascha,
Nathan is doing fine, he skated for the first time in 2 months on monday, longest he has been off his board since he was 10 months old. Good luck in the factory div this year.
As for the DB Expression Session I dont know exactly how the course will be set, Think of it as a Cross Country type of Park Slalom event?
Its gonna be Killer! I dont think you have to be pro and I'm sure Hackett would be stoked to have a girl competing in the event. There is only 60 entrants allowed so you should maybe contact Dave Hackett at www.deathbox.com to confirm.
Also you can look on the Contest Calender here at NCDSA to get more info on the event.
Dont know if I'm gonna be there yet?

Hey Eric,
I wasn't going to post again, but the moderator said I was ok:)
They gave me 12th at the finals. Scoring is always a drag. It's hard to be the only girl. They always score me way low. But oh well. I've pretty much been the only girl skating Nor Cal for the last 3 years, so I'm not about to give it up now. I'm skating factory this year for Vision. I thought you guys were coming up for it, then I heard about Nathan's shoulder. Is he ok?
Wondering if you have any info on the deathbox slalom ASR weekend? I want to skate it bad, but being new to slalom, I don't quite understand if the entry is pro only? Does that mean pro slalom, or pro steet?
I'll be at the Vision booth or skating the street course at ASR. Drop by if you're there. Or maybe we can sesh sometime the week before as we'll probably head down on mon. or tues. Mom says hi too! Later, Sasha

Me again. I promise this is the last time I'll post for another month at least....After I wrote the second post, I realized it didn't sound the way I meant it. I was trying to say thanks so much for everyone's help answering this question, NOT thanks so much for making the dates the same.
Sorry about that :( Sasha

Sorry to post again, I forgot something...
It is regarding the dates for the Morro Bay contest this year. I tried to post this question on the slalom skateboarder site, but it wouldn't let me. I hope you all don't mind if I ask it here..
The question is this, is the date for that contest set in stone yet? The schedule said tentative, so thought I'd ask. The reason is that the Triple Crown in Oceanside is the same weekend. Some of us will have to be in both places at the same time. So just thought I'd check. Thanks so much!!
