I hope you guys got back to Seattle ok. You should ask Dave about the local ripper from Aumsville in the session yesterday. I wish I had my camera he was amazing! I have not seen anyone rip anything up like that kid in sometime.     Rate post 231659 !

Good thing we decided it was a nice day for a little roadtrip because we were stoked when we got to the hill. I kind of had a personal breakthrough on that hill yesterday and cant wait for the next event there. I love the starting ramps especially the fact that you leave the gate standing on the sweet spot of your board everytime. I actually got up and down that hill more times than I thought I would yesterday and still had energy left over to skate Aumsville afterwards. Aumsville typically is not my favorite skate-park but I was so stoked and jazzed after the slalom session it kind of carried over to the skate-park. Great day skating and hanging with everybody yesterday. Thanks again Paul. Dave Mitchell thanks for giving Mel a ride down.     Rate post 231634 !

To bad more of the Washington crew wasn't able to make the trip. The timers were never set up so there wsa a lot of information sharing and tuning. The Newbies that showed up learned alot with out the competitive thing going on. Couple of the longboarders looked fantastic for never having been on a slalom board! It was a good day to hang out with the North West crew!     Rate post 231632 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) Wet?!?! On 3/13/2006 Steven King wrote in from United States  (71.134.nnn.nnn) Good for the NW crew! The Bay Area swapped weather with the NW. Lows in the 30s with snow on the local hills (as low as 1000 feet Thursday), sleet, hail and plenty of rain. I demand that we trade back.     Rate post 231621 !

On 3/12/2006 Pat Chewning wrote in from United States  (67.189.nnn.nnn) I can just hear what Paul is saying as he's sheilding his eyes from the sun in that picture: "That woosie Chewning.... Wait til he sees this picture of the BRIGHT sunshine! Look at this pavement! It's dryer than a nutria skin that's been in the sun for a week! It's dryer than the freshly baked elk sinew I use for my primitive weapons class. Its dryer....... (1 hr later) .... than Wyoming where I used to live right next to ...."

And the 25+++? many who were not on the calendar and made it a great turnout. The only wet area was outside the course, along one side. So not semi-dry pavement -- DRY AND STICKAAAYYYYY!!

On 3/12/2006 Pat Chewning wrote in from United States  (67.189.nnn.nnn) Glad you guys had a great time on semi-dry pavement. I still think I made the right call. Paragliding was awesome at the coast today: 3 flights at 2 different sites. Shared 1 thermal with a bald eagle. Watched the sunset while in the air..... -- Pat     Rate post 231576 !

They work slowly. I gave them 3 dates to consider for the race. They still want us to race on July 8 and 9 (the opening day for SGO). I think they finally are beginning to understand why this is not possible (same day as Hood River). They are working directly with the Salem Parks department to reserve the hill. I really hope this week I can confirm a date for this race. -- Pat     Rate post 231575 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) Rain Out? There was NO rain out!! On 3/12/2006 Dave Mitchell wrote in from United States  (69.30.nnn.nnn) Let me clarify, there was no rain in Salem today. The hill was dry, there were intermittant patches of sun and blue sky. And everyone who made the journey, even those of us who showed up at 3:30PM, got to ride 2 great courses. There was one small patch of damp pavement, which was taken care of with a flamethrower. Yes I said flamethower. We rode with no problem for 5 - 6 hours. I can't thank Paul enough for putting this event on, everyone who pitched in setting the course, all of the Seattle crew who showed. In general everyone who was there. Thanks for making this a fantastic Sunday. Anyone interested in hitting WSU next Sunday stay tuned for weather reports later this week.     Rate post 231570 !

It would be nice not to have to choose between a DH and slalom event, again.     Rate post 231527 !

Paul, as the organizer, is still going to be there and something will happen. (Unless he cancels). You should make your own decision based on weather, how skate-horny you are, and what other things you could do instead. It is my PERSONAL decision that I am not going. I am not advocating cancelling the event or trying to influence anyone else.     Rate post 231518 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) Salem too wet??? On 3/12/2006 Skip wrote in from United States  (67.160.nnn.nnn) 8am...The radar looks good for Salem. What a drag. After all the time and effort I've dedicated to preparing for this big day. Hours and hours of disciplined training.Even lining-up a designated driver. :~) Anyone still going to skate somewhere today? A little schralpin' on Hood? Thanx anyways Guys!

The ground here in Portland (and I assume Salem too) is too wet. Even if it does not rain, the pavement is going to be wet because the temperature today is going to be just above the dew point. Furthermore, what little sunshine there might be will not directly hit that N facing tree-lined hill. It just doesn't seem worth it. I'd rather go paragliding at the coast (which is going to be drier today). This time of year is very hard to count on dry pavement. -- Pat     Rate post 231508 !

I will probably regret this decision. But, the season is early and that AMAZING hill isn't going anywhere. Sorry to be a whimp and bail! G-     Rate post 231498 !
