Hold up... the slalom championships are being held in OTTAWA? That makes a little bit of sense I guess...
I think theres some excellent, near world class runs in Toronto. Much better night life and atmosphere for a championship anyways.

Greg for the time being if you or anyone else needs some Slalom gear we are slowly building up an inventory.
We will also be hosting the Canadian Slalom Championships next July for 2006 if you want to try to make it to Ottawa.
our website is www.ottawask8park.org - we will have some of the products in stock added to the Shop page as soon as we can.

Blair,
Bring in some slalom COMPLETES to seel to the newbies. The only shop in town that even comes close to understanding anything but shortboards, Rednick, is still totally out to lunch on what a slalom board is. They are selling PP with Manx and 180 Seismics!! The rest of the city is Sector 9 or worse.

Heal up quick, Greg--before summer is over (though we could wiggle inside at Source skatepark). It was fun skating with you.
Converts for sure--you could see the stoke in their eyes. Even Snowplow (Chris).
That kids was something else though... "I HAD to go that way" "I had to go smoke a joint" Too bad I didn't HAVE to kick his stupid ass.
We should run some cones later this week.

Wow guys THAT WAS FUN on Sunday!! Thanks Brad and Blair. I think we made some converts to slalom. Despite smashing my heel trying to follow you on your Park Bombing Bowl Blast on a flexy board that sprung me right off on the first transition. And inspite of taking out the stoned teenager who constantly crossed our course without looking up! Well maybe BECAUSE of taking out the stoned out teenager.... Thank goodness for the Hillbilly Heroin (Oxycontin) painkillers I had leftover from a root canal gone bad. I can hardly walk today!

Jay, grab a tracker rtx, they are cheap and work really well with some wedging. That truck I gave you will work but you need to keep a wrench handy to keep it tight, and on rough stuff it happens faster. Hope this helps.

Hey Kash -- That was a blast yesterday. Clover was a bit of a convection oven under that sun, but rad just the same. Park bombing is always a riot--it really seems to excert our (skaters) ownership of the park as we completely take it over when that goes down--the bmxicans simply flee. Setting up the cones was fun as hell. I was so stoked how interested the popsicle stick kids were when they saw us running the cones. Just goes to show how blinded they are by most skateboard media. If bringing to them gets them stoked and they realise there's so much more to skateboarding, let's bring it to them.
Great way to spend a Sunday.
Found some proper pivot cups for my rig to replace the two that exploded--good to go anytime this week, bro.

Top Challenge

Ross... I agree with you that Top Challenge is getting too expensive for most people but the logistics of putting on a race in small town BC and downtown Montréal are totally different. Top Challenge spends more money on insurance than Danger,Sully and MethodX spend on the whole three events put together. I wish the cash purse was higher and I have been diligent in trying to get the race organizers to worry about that. Double the entry fee was justified by double the days the road was closed therefore double the amount of riding.
And Top Challenge is a GSI event and will be for the second year in a row.
