I hate to do this but I`m going to have to miss this Gathering. My buisness is in dep ca-ca and I can`t afford the time away. There is also another reason of not going in regards to another who is. I don`t need to be around someone so negative right now. I`ve enough BS in my life already.
Have fun y`all and be safe!!

Here's the plan, Sam, for Sat: DC Outlaws will race at the usual P&R in Gaithersburg if we don't get rained out(weatherman says it will rain, but he's been wrong before)afterwards several of us have plans to sk8 the 'crete @ The Downer, in Lansdowne. If it's a washout, indoor sessions @ Vans have been discussed and will probably be happening. For sunday at high noon go to the Woodbridge Commuter Lot off I95 for a fun slalom session with Zion Sk8 Shop.Have fun!!

Late last night I got the news that a slalom race is going to be held at the Park & Ride in Woodbridge, VA (next to I-95 1 or 2 exits north of the Vans Skatepark). This will be the third year Zion has put on the contest. If true to form, the race will be an easy course. Not sure of the exact contest time but I think it will start about noon.
Show up to support the mainstream skateboard community's attempt to slalom.
BTW,
The year I was there, they did a high jump contest as well.

Sorry for the delay in this post. I've dragging a** since the event, but here goes.
Mississippi Grass Roots Slalom would like to thank quite a few people that without, this race would have been impossible. Starting out with my family, Lisa, Josh & Sarah, who have put up with the meetings, phone calls, emails and stressed out grumpy ole Dad. I'd especially like to thank Lisa for acting as Timekeeper for the event. We all know how tough that job is. Thanks Lisa!
Our main sponsor, Red Bull Energy Drink and Eddie Tanner deserves so much thanks. He was always there with the answer to a problem and a "We can make that happen". I'll be honest, at times I didn't believe him but I was wrong. Eddie made this happen.
Our prize sponsors were generous as usual. These guys were great, talk about getting your entry fee back in stuff. The list is, in no perticular order, Pleasure Tools, Bahne, Fibreflex, 3DM Sport/Turner Wheels, Longskate.com, Comet, Solidskate.com, Flux Industries, Gravity, Bozi, Pocket Pistol, and Concrete Wave. These are the big guys in the industry that put out time and money to help us little guys have fun and promote the sport. Thanks!
Our local support is muchly appreciated also, SkateMS.com, Swell Skate, Ricksautosource.com, Que Sera Sera, The Forum and The Bermuda Beach Club & Island Grill. Thanks guys for your help. Thanks for helping being part of this skate community.
The Fondren Renaissance Foundation was critical to us being able to secure this venue. Thanks to Camp, Mary Jo and the rest of the District. Let's do it again! And let's not forget the city of Jackson taking a chance on their first skateboarding event. I hope we did OK. Thanks Ofc. Brister.
Our volunteers were generous to take time out of there schedules to help out. I know how tough it is now days to find time for little things much less something like this. Many of these people had never seen slalom skateboarding before but were willing to be there to make it work. I won't try and name them all but a few I would like to mention is my wife Lisa, Timekeeper and her assistants Tammy Boykin (Clifton's sister) and Anita Ellis (my sister). Clifton Jennings, Annonucer, and what an announer! Also Andy Dyess, Starter, Kenny Jennings, Head Course Marshall and his crew, Rick Murray and Wally Byrd. Line Judge, John DiLonrenzo, Tate Nations, Greg King, Frank Henn, Laura Bissell, Tim Higbee, Michael & Jeana Yost, Matt (SNT Skate Shop), Matt (Hops), Justin and all the Florence gang, Madison Ridgeland guys, and all the other skaters from the area I saw at the event. I know I'm leaving people out but I warned you. Thanks for coming out everyone.
Thanks to all our local slalom racers. Austin Cannon, Nate George, Will J, Jeremy and Cory, Alan, Jeremy H. and of course Josh. You guys represented us well.
The course proved to be a challenging one for most. The first four cones were the deciders. How you hit those could have decided the rest of the race. I had trouble with how to handle the beast when it came to our newer slalom racers. They worked hard and learned alot in those few hours. We were lucky enough to have racers make the trip and skate in such a manner as to inspire racers to be better and newbies to take up slalom. One word...Vlad. Whew!
Thanks to all of our out of town racers, which were most of them. Thanks for coming your distance to participate in this event. Without you, what would it be? I hope I can count on you again next year. I promise to take what I learned at this event and use it to make the next better for everyone.
Results:
1. Vlad Popov
2. Jeff Goad
3. Keith Hollien
4. Noah Heinle
Here's the qualifying times:
1. Noah Heinle 14.882
2. Vlad Popov 15.147

14. Will Jolly 19.724
15. Josh Byrd 20.960
16. John Seeger 20.289
17. Jeremy Ward 20.059
18. Alan Allred 20.770
19. Jeremy Hilton 21.173
Fastest run of the day:
Vlad Popov 14.480 against Keith Hollien's 14.866 in the round of 4. They were pushing hard!
Closest race was Noah and Keith in the Consolation Round, it was Keith with a 14.620 to win by .176
In the final round, Vlad DQ in the first run and left the door open for Jeff Goad to walk in for the win. Then, Jeff DQ'ed in number two and Vlad wins with a fastest time of 14.771. What an dramatic ending to an exciting race.
I hope to have some pictures posted soon.
Thanks again to all,
Ricky

I am dictitating this post through my trusty secretary from the Washington County Jail, in North (Poduct) Fla.
We were stopped by a county sheriff without probable cause in a "profile stop", (South Fl rental car headed west on I-10 with 2 male subjects). Needless to say, I miss the Saturday morning practice and the race. This goes out to all of you that only "think" that you can travel with controlled substance. (even small quanitity) and get away with it.
My trustee secretary has orchestrated my release through my friendly bondsman and I will be picked up from the return back by Kieth.
I am sorry I missed the races, but sh&#@t happens. Good luck to all the racers, I wish all of them well.
Mark McCree.
