Org: CSA (1772 Posts) Topic Post found in the banks thread On 5/1/2007 Dan Hughes wrote in from United States  (162.78.nnn.nnn) On 4/27/2007 The Marshall wrote in from United States (168.103.xxx.xxx) The race went down in overall good conditions; clear skies, no wind and very little water in the ditch. John Law made a guest appearance and shut the race down after 15 racers. The final 8 racers snuck up a few hours later and fiished their heat. Unfortunately the wind had kicked up and a flood was released above the Tramway bridge. The racing was wild and burly as the racers hydroplaned at 30 mph through an inch of water for 100 scary yards. Cabbage took a digger in the heaviest section but O'Shei, West, Angelus, Lynn, Cody and the McLaren crew powered through in one of the gutsiest displays of charging ever seen in that ditch. The race was called after a single heat due to high winds and uncooperative law enforcement officers. The new technical course claimed 8 riders to DQs. When the dust cleared the trophy remained in New Mexico as Will Brunson took out reining champ Ken Mollica by a scant .14 sec followed by Mitchell, Palmer and Jim Z.     Rate post 270303 !

Thinking maybe this Sunday. If anyone wants to car pool or meet there send me an e-mail. t     Rate post 270302 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) busted?

On 4/26/2007 Pat Chewning wrote in from United States  (67.189.nnn.nnn) I've been practicing 3 times a week at a hill in Beaverton. I've got the neighbors trained to enjoy the show (at least not pull a gun on me). I did this by talking to the joggers and bike riders as I skate, and by offering my tools to the dad who needed to tighten the training wheels on his daughter's bike, and by time-sharing the road with the street hockey players. So I think this hill could handle about 3 or 4 very well-behaved and quiet racers for regular practice sessions. Give me a call if you want to join me. And what days are people going to Mt Tabor on a regular basis?     Rate post 270096 !

Let's wish him good luck and a great time at the races -- the only CSA racer at the Ditch Slap.     Rate post 270095 !

I hope this answers some of the questions. There are only two main points: Official signup is at stategamesoforegon.org EVERYBODY can enter. (Yes, EVERYBODY) #1 Anyone and everyone can enter. (PROS, people from europe, other planets, whatever) #2 Only the eligible people can receive Oregon State Games medals. A) Amateurs only are eligible B) People from states of OR, WA, ID, CA, NV only (adjacent to OR) C) People from states without a slalom skateboard competition (only Oregon has this) D) People in clubs or who regularly train/compete in Oregon (anyone who has EVER competed in Oregon is an honorary member of CSA and is eligible) -- that's my interpretation and I'm in charge. #3 The classes of competitors (for the purpose of OSG medals) are age division ONLY. There are no divisions for experience, gender, equipment, team, state, etc... The way the contest is going to be run is like this: i) For the purpose of ISSA points, there is a huge OPEN group with everyone in it. ii) The race will be run without discrimination of PRO/AM MEN/WOMEN AGE --- These results will be sent to the ISSA for World Ranking points. One big OPEN group. iii) After everyone is done racing and the final results are in, we will sort the people by age groups for awarding the OSG medals, skipping those who are ineligible due to OSG rules. (PROS and anyone who comes from a state not next to Oregon). The "Longboard" race is the same as GS. We call it "Longboard" to encourge new people to attend who identify themselves as longboarders -- but not slalom racers (yet). So sign up now, attend, race, have fun, and then we'll figure out who gets medals. Its that simple.     Rate post 269563 !

But i never knew he also had a hand in creating the Banked Slalom Race at Mt. Baker. Rest In Peace.     Rate post 269406 !

He has a broken bone and will be recovering soon. I talked with him before the event, pleading with him to come anyways, but he thought it would be too much of a temptation to take "one run" with his broken bone and didn't want to do that.     Rate post 269405 !

I know, I suck. Speaking of people who suck, where the hell were Capt'n Dave, Mel and Thor, and whoever else did'nt show to the BBQ. Are they OK, does anyone know why they were MIA? Speaking of MIA, Good to see Dong, Burke, Alldred(and I'm sure I'm forgetting someone), back in action. Speaking of back in action, Good to see Hughes, Eney and whoever else had injuries and stuff putting the kabosh on their skating last season. Speaking of kabosh, I think I'll put the kabosh on this mostly pointless entry. Schlater - P     Rate post 269391 !

I rode on the original Bikefactory team when Bob and Wally owned the shop in Lynnwood, WA. Around 1975. I have fond memories of my time in the shop, working with Bob, building some of the first high end BMX racing bikes. We also went to many contests throughout Washington including one event in Olympia, WA when we rode the Capitol Dome Building. John Stryker and I had talked about visiting Bob, but somehow never found the time. Now we just have the chance to say goodbye. Thanks Bob for your contributions to our sport. You will be missed.     Rate post 269260 !
