WHAT: Jam Format Tight and Hybrid, one lane of each. Best
time for each course will be counted and the two
times will be added together. If wind is a big
factor, possibly average of slow and fast runs.
Push Start.
WHEN: Sunday July 14th 2005
11:00am to 2:00pm courses will open for racing.
Practice starts approx 10am if everything is set up.
WHERE: North Seattle Community College. Southeast parking
lot. Look for the HUGE BLUE WINDSOCK WITH THE YELLOW
SHOOTING STAR. SKATE ONLY IN THIS PARKING LOT AND NOT
ON THE STREETS OR AROUND CAMPUS. Park in the adjacent
parking lot so we'll have a clear area for 2 courses.

HELMETS: Yes! And everything else is encouraged.
OFFICIALITY: Outlaw, the idea is to make this look like one
of the Sunday practice sessions so this will be low-
key. A back-up location has been scouted out in the
event of a bust. Bring your pool/park decks just in
case.
PRIZES: Sculpted trophies for 1st-4th place.
WHAT TO BRING: A setup that can do Tight and hybrid both or
bring 2 setups, one for each lane. Food, Water,
Sunscreen, you know the deal.
OLD EQUIPMENT: If you have old equipment, bring it to this
race to sell to newbies in need, if you have
a"loaner" bring that if you can.
FEES: Labor-Bring brooms, blowers, cones, chalk, duct tape,
Timers(we think we have that covered), etc if you
have them.
CONTACTS: Neither of us have computers at home so calling
might be faster, especially with Stryker, but
its's about equal with Howard

Hey, This was a REALLY fun race. BIG THANKS to John Stryker for holding the race, Pat Chewning and Gareth for bringing their timers, and everyone else who helped set up the courses and tear down. Both courses were run 5 times with the best times of each rider for each course combined to count as their final times for placing. Both courses had rythem changes making everyone really pay attention, most riders DQ'd at least once. The runs were not too bad for beginners to ease their way through but had pretty good speed if you pushed hard at the start and pumped it, then you really had to pay attention. The "Hybrid" course was a real mixed bag of close and far cones, easy and hard-to-reach offsets and a tight end stinger section tighter than any portion of the Tight course. There were some pretty close times between riders at times. I LOVE awkward mixed up courses like that. The temps were high so Mr Organizer John Stryker brought a big cooler of water for everyone. It was good to see Brad Kasha drive all the way from Calgary, Alberta, Canada so Brad gets the award for being the Stoke-Mobile. "Leemo"(sp?) of G&S Fiberflex downhill/longboarding fame entered as well. It was good to meet the new people and see the familiar ones as well. Dan Hughes ran the only clean run on the hybrid course at high speed, pretty good for a return from back surgery. All in all it was very worth the 5 hour drive for me. -Paul Howard(John Stryker's web ghost-writer). |
