Westwood Ski and Sports Club and the International Gravity Sports Association (IGSA) are pleased to announce the 2003 California Championship gravity racing series, with races at West LA College for skateboard, inline skate, classic luge (buttboard), street luge, and gravity bikes. All races will count towards the IGSA world rankings. There will be a variety of awards and prizes at each race, and at the end of the series there will be special series awards for the top point-getters (dropping each racer's worst result in each discipline). Sponsors include Turner Downhill wheels, Oust Bearings, Ed Economy longboards and Kryptonics wheels.
Each of the dates will have racing for several sports and practice available at a reduced price for the sports not competing on that date. The events will take place rain or shine, but if it rains the schedules may change (for example a tight slalom might be postponed for rain, but luge would race in the rain).
Sunday July 20 at West LA College will feature giant slalom (skateboard, longboard, and inline) and tight slalom racing. C Street will also be available for downhill practice.

California Slalom Series #2 Results (California Championship Series date 3) West LA College, California July 20, 2003
The second slalom of the 2003 California Championship series (and third date of the race series) at West LA College featured a very tight and challenging tight slalom and a very fast and wide open giant slalom, and sunny, hot weather. The interest in the slalom races continues to build, with 35 racers and lots of friends and family watching and helping and shooting videos and photos.
Every race in both the men's and women's racing had a different winner. The times were tighter than ever, with Mike Maysey winning the skateboard GS by a mere 0.003 seconds! Thanks go to 3dm Sport for supplying wheels as prizes and to Ed Economy and Gravity Skateboards for filling up the prize pool.
