My skate buddy left for the east coast for the summer and I have found myself skating less, and being less amped to go out. Not cool. Was wondering if anyone was up for some riding. I don't care too much for skating in a cage with my body covered in plastic . I love moderate hills, sketchy alleys, driveway embankments, ditches with mellow transition, backyard ramps, lumpy parking lots that send you in permanent soul patrol....The more nature, the more gnarley yet mellow........yep I love it. Sun up or down. If that deep heelside carve gets you through the door of a bar, that's a perfect day of skating. OB is my home base. Send me an e-mail if you want to contact me.

women's slalom?
On 4/5/2007 mbl wrote in from Canada  (74.101.nnn.nnn)

Is it women's yet? So far, I've seen women competing in a men's venue for the most part. Fine for a start, but most women need the different competitiveness not always offered at a generally men's event. albeit women compete in their own category, but it is predominately a men's event and is run so. Some women athletes do not care for the male comeraderie banter and competition of the best dressed or most attractive female addition to the roster. I salute those who can overcome these obstacles but most will not.
I will run cones, ride my park board and longboard but have no interest or desire to compete in a male-dominated field. Let's face it. with a world-clas partner , someone has to drive home and that's my job. I'm much more interested in runing good races for you and finding the band-aid. Now I see my mentors as Claude, as coach, Casey MacLaren and Diane Schwipert as skatemoms with my own two beautiful racers up and coming.
Call me crazy, Ottawa to Paris to Dusseldorf for four years, this is how it stands
love the skate

Well Lynn, I am sure going to do my part up here in the Bay Area to get more women excited about participating in slalom.
If they only knew how fun it is!

I wish I could be there for the Diva skate this weekend. I'll for sure see ya'll on the 15th at the Pump Station.

Congrats again on your gold! Are you going to bring them to show off?? You should!

more women
On 4/5/2007 Lynn wrote in from United States  (75.15.nnn.nnn)

I think there aren't more women because people hear "skateboard" and they instantly think "12 year old boy grinding curb" and "ouch." Slalom should be inundated with women. It is really a finesse sport. Yeah, as you become more comfortable, you can go faster on big hills, but for the most part, it is technique.
Kelly Benko and myself showed this to the boys last weekend in a match of "skate till you hit a cone". Kelly, you rip. I DQed out the gate on my first run(brain fart? hit our announcer Denis Shufly on the start ramp? forgot to turn?) and the crowd gave me a rebate, but after that, it was on.

Downhill Divas Saturday April 7- 3pm to dark. Pumpstation.
