Speaking of seconds...pass the shrooms. Any loose morels afloat? A Kingdom huh? Sounds about right. Only problem I foresee is too many Jesters and too many partied up nights, er Knights.
And my vote is "Huh?"
Also a salute to ((ouch!!)) all of youse...

It may be time to call another online Knucklehead meeting in order to breath new life to this tired forum.
Topics for discussion are: …well that is the topic of discussion. So if you have any suggestions, it will be taken into consideration and probably be ignored. Next, we will talk about the membership, additions and removals, welcomes (goodbyes) etcetera ad infinitum. How about voting in a new king…. hmmmmmmm, that didn’t sound right. Maybe we should consider what our team vegetable should be (ramps for instance?) though I’m partial to mushrooms myself. How about the possibility of a Knucklehead reunion? Not that we’ve ever gotten together in the first place. Well, that’s all I have that’s open for discussion and even that is open to consideration (and then promptly ignored)…
All those present make sure you're accounted for!!!(ouch)

Carl, Hearing a snowbird like yourself say "might be too cold" causes me to pucker up tighter than a frogs ass lest a chill crawl inside. Man, our lows are already in the 70`s with highs to the mid 90`s. I appreciate the rain you river belters sent our way but a slight cool down would go nicely about now. Hows about it?

Kibosher,
Go to the Grass Roots Slalm link above and then to the NYC chapter. You should be able to hook up with fellow skaters there. Most slalomers also have longboards. That`s how we all found this site.

NEW YORK CITY LONGBOARDERS!
I've been reading these forums for over a year and I see hints and whispers of an NYC longboarding association. I have tried repeatedly to contact poster's that have either made mention of the New York Longboarders Association or have even claimed to head it up. The majority of these posts have been from 1998-99 so I am wondering if the group is defunct? If anyone can help me with this I'd be very greatful.
In the event that the group is disbanded I am considering heading up a new NYC based organization called
GOTHAM LONGBOARDERS
or GLB for short. I would love to see the Central Park Loop Race rise again, or if it's happening still and I dont know about it, have GLB compete in it. If anyone is interested please email me at
mwcondor@yahoo.com
I know you're out there NYC, help me out.
Mike

GRS Sheffield Board Fest II..?

Hi there!
Sorry I havent been able to visit the site more, my new job keeps me away from the pc.
Just thinking about doing a (GRS Sheffield) Board FestII now the weather is turning nice... You may have heard the last one was a great success, with 150 people watching and riding, and articles in Sidewalk and Adrenaline mags here in the UK... The most coverage slalom has had in the British skate press in a while, I think.
If I get some encouragement on the site, Id be up for doing another, primarily outdoor event later in the year.
Anyone want to get behind this idea?
Big up to GRS!

Thanks Tway, we all had a blast. What do you know... hip-hoppin' street Thugz skating slalom and loving it. Those guys are a lot of fun.
I hope you can make the next one.
Check out a few viddy clips of the race at: http://www.skatems.com/gallery/video
I like the one where Austin is getting himself pumped up for a race with Josh. The race starter, Clifton, doesn't flinch.

I must say this GRS is really starting to work. I got 2 emails yesterday from New Yorkers wanting to join our organization. Welcome Steve from Brooklyn and Pat from Long Island.
Ricky, Nice job organizing your race. It looked like it was a big success. I was especially impressed w/ Brookleigh. She has style. I won't miss your next race.

I'm going to be in DC at a meeting this weekend, and was hoping to ride at the infamous Park-n-Race in Gaithersberg on Saturday 4/27. I've communicated w/ Brian Parsons on it, and since he's been out at Catalina I wanted to put something up and encourage all you practicing for the Gathering to come out and show a knucklehead a good time.

Before I say anything else I'd first like to thank everyone who came out yesterday, Racers, Cone Girls, Time Keepers and Spectators alike. Without these people who gave of their time it would have been impossible to pull this race off. Our Cone Girls were a big part of the show with their cheers and dances not to mention re-setting of hit cones and counting of the hit cones, they didn’t miss a beat. They were a very lively bunch to say the least. Big thanks go out to Brookleigh for getting that group together. I hope everyone enjoyed the day and I hope it all seemed to run smoothly for everyone.
I can’t say enough about our race sponsors, ParkX, Pleasure Tool Bearings, SkateMS.com, Swell Sk8 and Turner Downhill. These guys donated some great prizes and resources to help make this a true “Classic” race to remember. All they did definitely made this more exciting for everyone involved.
I’d like to single out Marcos Soulsby-Monroy for driving all the way over from Galveston, TX. I really enjoyed meeting him and his son. This was a small local race with lots of newbies and he made the trek anyway. Now that’s the spirit that the slalom re-birth and Grass Roots Slalom is based on. Marcos needs to get a GRS chapter going in his area so I can return the gesture. Just say when Marcos and we’ll be there.
The races were very exciting to witness and to be a part of. Everyone seemed to have a great time. Plenty of smack talk was flying and many laughs also. We had some very close racing like Marcos and Josh, Clifton and Marcos. These match ups come to mind; I remember these because they literally came down to inches. By the way, Nate got Sam in their race, taking back bragging rights after Sam defeated Nate last weekend. Josh was right up in the middle of the big boys. Josh’s cousin Zach did very well considering he really doesn’t skate. A true newbie. Good to have you there Zach. During the breaks you should have seen the handstands and street long manuals that were being thrown down. Good job guys!
Here’s the results of the Grass Roots Slalom, Mississippi Chapter, Outlaw Slalom Classic, April 21, 2002
Qualifying Times:
Ricky 15.79
Nate 16.76
Marcos 18.37
Austin 18.91
Josh 19.07
Clifton 19.96
Sam 22.56
Tate 24.89
Zach 24.93
Patrick 27.61
Duel Results:
1st Ricky
2nd Nate
3rd Clifton
4th Marcos
5th Austin
6th Josh
Again…Thanks to everyone, I mean everyone! I’m wore out…I can’t believe the day has come and gone. All that attended are now a part of Mississippi’s skateboard history as this was Mississippi’s first downhill skateboard competition ever. We will be doing this again. Next time no mercy. I’m looking all the time for that perfect hill with good slope, good asphalt, good run out, no traffic and no cops. Help me find that perfect hill. Next race we have a need for speed!!!!
If you have any comments that will help our next one be even better, don’t hesitate to tell me. I want the best for us all. Next time...sunscreen.
Let’s see more pictures and video as it comes in. I need a few shots for my web site. Thanks Tate for posting your pics (www.skatems.com)so quickly. You’re a good man.

A big thanks to all who turned out yesterday! There were several new faces and lots of familiar ones. It is great to see some of the speed boarders adapting to slalom so well. Got to remember these are guys who are not used to small boards and loose turny trucks!
We will continue these sessions every Sunday at 2:00 (weather permitting). If we get enough people to show, we can runs some friendly races. Seems like there are already some grudge matches taking place between Aaron and Ben - way to go guys, that's the spirit.
If you are at your local skate shop, let them know all about slalom and what we are doing on Sundays! Invite them out for a good time. Slalom is alive and well in Seattle and growing by the week!
See you all next Sunday!
Sincerely
Gareth

Well perseverance paid up, after 3 weekends in a row alone at the same location, i got a buddy to come and try slalom.
He is now one of us and learning quickly, and there we met another skater from our skatepark days, he tried one of my boards and was completely hooked!
He was getting real fast after a couple of hours. He then asked me where he could get a board, an hour later i was shaping his old beaten Burton Balance to a pretty cool starter board.
We are now three and counting!
