I wonder why that is..?

yes, it appears speedball lives and to place a post like that after a gentleman like Bob Staton's post makes me think he is a bit disrespecful to those that road before us. speedball, you may be fast and you may be bad, but some of these guys were doing hills on steel and clay wheels before you knew what the word skateboard was. a little respect goes a long way. peace.

Bob Staton, don't ever feel lonely. when you rode down that hill on that steel wheeled plank you inspired a whole bunch of us. I am a guy that sat with you a little while and thanked you. i am sure there where many others, so if you don't remember me i wore a sidewalk surfer racing shirt. you are a credit and inspiration to all skaters, keep doing what you do. i took my e-mail address & knickname came from being the only person i skated with, me. when i got to this site and finding fellow skaters and making friends i didn't even know till La Costa (and some i hadn't seen for many years) you are not alone. i will see you again in 2002 at one race or another. George.

Good evening.
Thank you Alen and GBJ for your responces. I get lonley
for peer contact and interaction...and I 'm deeply interested in the organizational end of things so I wander over here from the freestyle page from time to time. I did not know that a world organization was such a difficult thing, good thing I did not come around here sooner or I probably would not have started one.
You mentioned currency exchange rates and I can relate to that. Last week one of the competitors at our last contest, took home a check, to Sweden, for $25.00
and it cost him $15.00 to cash it.
I want to see how you guys opperate and what succes you have, and maybe I can reverse engineer some things
back in to my organization, before the accountants show up.
Anywho...I agree (already) that the mock WSRA should be WSSRA. There are a lot of initals floating around and I was wondering what, if any, slalom orgs.
do exist, and which ones are in the 'for real' planning stage.
I do have a successful Am slolom past history, and I am looking to compete on the AM level this year.
Anything in the works?
CFSL is the California Freestyle Skateboard League
and Am slalom will be a part of the program.

I'm protesting that last statement about me! Damn it that was a frivilous use of my name!
And give me top shelf or hear me bitch while I still drink it!
I highly recommend Hendricks Gin distilled in Scotland. (Hints of citrus and cucumber.)
And Guinness can never be at it's peak from a bottle no matter what they say!

Chief Taste Tester it`ll be. I will be diligent-ly at my duties. And aftertaste? That`s what limes are for....yeah, thats it.
On a more serious note...for those of us that are anticipating hosting an event this year, we as knuckleheads we are, need to push the envelope on this matter....
Dates for 2002.
I know permits and insurance details haven`t been worked out yet but preliminary dates can be posted on the events calanders. Just put it as "Pending final authorization" and not have the sign-up link working just yet.
I ask this because there are those of us that have to use our vacation time to be able to participate and a lot of companies want your requested holidays way in advance.
Once the ball starts rolling, others will join in to secure their dates. And I see this as being a buisy season.
Back to the lighter side....P@io,,,you in?

Marsala is quiet in his own way, Claude ..on the top is bald and grey,The green shirts are worn with an abundance of pride ,Nothing will fade them not even a box o'tide!

I haven`t received my latest addition of our gazette (OUCH) just when I thought it was safe to put me hand down, and along comes the paper boy. Good shot he is too!
Welcome Brian P and Adam T though I dissolve any acknowledgement of knowing you. Especially if we hook up in A-dam....and maybe not intentionally.
Can I nominate myself Sergeant of Rating (or is it ranting) in regards to the aforementioned window shopping? Or I could just simply be the taste tester (I wouldn`t want my fellow knuckleheads to be poisonned`) {how is it spelled in french?}
Or maybe just as Dave suggested...the tokem limey (no offense UK`rs)
AAARRRGHHH!!! I know what meant, not what I said, heh?

I love it... only on NCDSA, where the chief bottle washer can be considered a king! We have a Sergeant at Harms, a Chairman of the Bored and some guy named slappy who never seems happy (now that takes the cheese).
Let's welcome Brian P, and adam [t] to this august (now that's warm for December) gathering of Knuckleheads! All salute... (Ouch! oUch! ouCh! oucH!)
Welcome aboard!
pssst... you can all put your hands down now!

Hooked up with Mr. & Mrs. physcholloyd on a breeze thru Chi-town. A pleasant and amiable guy, not the complete bastard he seems on this site (oh wait, thats arab). Got the lowdown on Alan's projects, wait till you guys see the Wicked board, beautiful form and pure function. It's a killer.
It's always nice to get a chance to admire and fondle another man's quiver, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Just got back from having a nice Vietnamese dinner w/Joe Iacovelli and Julicat joined us for the event. It's great to finally meet the person that brought together the ingredients for Megs board at the Farm. Nick and Julianna Iacovelli were the topic of many a conversation. It will be great to be able to meet the whole family at the Gathering 2002!

I'm mounting a protest against Dave G as Sargeant at Harms.
Damn it, he's gonna have those kids all loopy for gin and tonic!
That will mean less for me!
Lime prices will skyrocket...it's not gonna be pretty.

Bob "steel wheel" Staton: It was a pleasure meeting you at La Costa and it is always illuminating to read your posts here at the NCDSA. You are a great resource with a wealth of knowledge and experience in organizations, if your advice isn't taken to heart we would truly suffer. Thank you for sharing your insights.

USSSF - WSRA

GBJ

(209.48.nnn.nnn)
Bob, There is much wisdom in the things you've said here, and much of your suggestion speaks right to the intent of the USSSF. I'll only "take a pass" on one of those suggestions for two reasons, but want you to understand that I haven't just arbitrarily dismissed it. My only comment would be on the suggested title of WSRA. I have given MUCH thought to the specific words chosen for the name of the organization I've proposed. In the first place, running a "World" organizations brings in a whole lot of additional work, such as International Monetary exchange rates, language difficulties and any responsibility we might have to the U.S. Federal Government re: income generated "offshore". This is why I have elected to stay with a U.S. or domestically-focused organization. The bottom line there is that truly operating a World-focused organization takes more work, and more work equals either more highly-specialized, Professional volunteers or a greater financial outlay for staff to handle the additional issues. Given that, there is no reason why, should our solutions and actions prove to be valuable to the community, the slalom communities of other nations can't adopt the same framework or "subscribe" to our system as they can in the golf world. Besides, we can't even get the people in this country to agree that there should be such an organization or to even see the potential value in having one. How much easier do you think it's going to be to get the world to agree on such a fundamental concept? My second piece of feedback involves the fact that there is no mention of the word "Skateboarding" in the title. There are many forms of slalom in the world; i.e. automobile slalom, alpine skiing slalom, water skiing slalom, quad and inline slalom, etc. I think it would be a fundamental mistake to leave the defining word "skateboarding" out. Someone else suggested something like the CRA (Cone Runners Association). What does that title tell someone who just happens upon it? For all I know the CRA could be an association of people who feel the need to dash from one ice cream shoppe to another. Think about the USSSF (and pronounce it: U-Triple S-F) and you may realiza that although one letter longer than your acronym, it states VERY clearly what we are and what we are about. Thanks though for the larger, more pertinent suggestions. If all I can find questionable about them was to nitpick a proposed name, the rest of them were, very apparently, wise and valuable.

I think that what may be of great benifit to the slalom community is a wide based
service organization that functions as a hub/clearing house/visitors center/resource center.
An organization that has an "in Box-Out Box"
approach....information/needs/ideas etc. flow
into the org. are processed and programs are developed to address these issues and flow out to the
slalom community. A Pro race program, an AM race
program, A slalom industry products promotion program, a contracts review program etc. , an internship program. An org. that seeks general membership and gives out service awards for volunteer
work.
Various Org.s, products, mags., and contest/race promoters
come and go, but a well developed and maintained
service org., like the Lions Club etc. can last for
centeries. A service org. is able to secure a wide
range of grant monies to service and maintain its programs.
I would give it a name such as WSRA, World Slalom
Racing Association.
This org. would help to develop baseline standards
and support the formation of other local and regional
orgs. that would represent trends and creativity of various individuals and regions. WSRA would not be above or below any other slalom org. but a constant
friend and partner.
I have no intention of starting such an org. myself,
and you are probly thinking "say what?"
but it sure works for me.
