Contest Info: ***
DON'T MARK YOUR CALENDARS YET!!! HOPEFULLY THIS THINGY WILL STAY ON THE POSTED DATE-BUT IT'S VERY SUBJECT TO CHANGE!!!!, I'll be making periodic calls to check on the hill being reserved by others and I'll post on the SLALOM forum if things get nixed or changed. I'll try posting on the FaceBook CSA page also.
ACORN, TWIG AND SQUIRREL ALERT!!! -BRING YOUR BROOMS,
DISTPANS AND LEAFBLOWERS!!! -This is the time of year for falling remnant acorns, twigs and squirrels chasing the acorns.Since this is not city sanctioned, the city Parks and Rec dept probably will not have cleaned it recently.
Sadly, our Good Friend and Race-Buddy Brad Kasha passed away Aug 31 2018 at age 56, way way too soon. Brad drove all the way from Calgary, Alberta, Canada to some of our early rinky-dink local slalom events here in Oregon and Washington just to hang out, race, meet other slalom skaters. He always was really helpful to newbies and welcoming toward them plus always helping with course-setting, ramps, timer wiring, chalking, sweeping, etc - whatever it took to make slalom happen. He also showed up to some of our "real" bigger races too and was always a welcome presence. If you have photos to pass around, please feel free to bring them. Thanks!
HELMETS: Yeah fool, what do you think? It's on a hill on pavement. Hills Kill. Everything else is recommended strongly as far as pads and wrist guards or slide gloves.
BEWARE: This is an At-Your-Own-Risk activity and no one but you will be responsible for your injuries.
BE ADVISED: This is an "Unscheduled drop in usage of a municipal recreation facility" which means that "we" don't own or hold title to the hill and we may have to leave if we're told to or if there is another event that has been scheduled. So bring your park decks as a backup plan.
SPECIAL BONUS: You'll be one of the coolest people in the whole world if you bring your slalom cones, chalk and/or brooms, dust pans or leaf blowers. Really, you'll be "that" cool.
WHAT: No Timers, No Start-Ramps(push start),Non-racing slalom fun skateboarding session and Free BBQ! Meat & Non-meat burgers and sausages, salad, etc. OR, if it's too hot and I'm short on time, I'll bring an assortment of sub sandwiches.
NEWBIES!! Skate-wrench gear-head session and slalom board tuning and advice all day long!!!
COURSES: 2 courses, one big open-ish, Gianty slalom for the Longboarding types and people into GS, the other course will be a Techy hybrid tighter course than the other one but not "that" tight-OK, maybe it will, unless it's not. Both will have the usual Pauliwog mixed rythm and features since he's probably the one setting the courses again unless someone beats him to it.
WHERE: Salem Oregon, Bush Park Soap Box Derby Hill.
DIRECTIONS: I-5 to South Salem Oregon. Take the Hwy 22 Exit West (toward the Pacific Ocean and away from the Cascades), it will become "Mission Blvd", follow it as it weaves around, you'll pass K-Mart, keep going and going, you'll go up over an overpass then under an underpass -watch out for the surprise stoplight, soon you'll see the huge forested "Bush Park" to your Left(South, in the general direction of Peru) and the Salem Hospital on your Right(North, you know, like, ummm Canada). Look for the parking to the park on the Left, or keep going to the next stop light, turn left and park on that street and walk over to the hill or keep going and turn Left again to the parking on the top of the hill. It really is that easy! Watch for signs about parking space or time limits and getting busted for parking anywhere too long.
See you all there! - Vic |
