So, sport fans… THE RESULTS ARE IN! It was a crisp, clear fall day in western Massachusetts that found our merry band gathered to ride and race our wheeled platforms around obstacles and down the hill. The tight slalom race race came first, artfully laid out by Glenn. Initially, few were able to mak...

Dave (and the Kirkpatrick clan), Thank you so much for pulling the Antrim race back together this year. I everyone had a great time hanging out together and riding skateboards. The weather was perfect for skating and the races all seemed to be much closer and more competitive this year. I know we al...

Dan Parrish

Jani, Thanks for the offer. These were all the participants this year. The race has been kind of a private party, but guests are always welcome. It is purposely kept as a casual "low key" event due to it's location and lack of official town sanction. I'm sure the points and recognition will none the...

Dan Parrish

Thanks to everyone who showed and helped make it another great barbecue party with friends, and yeah , - a skateboard race. It was another hot day, at least it felt that way after taking multiple, multiple runs. Lots of skating was had by all! Varied skill groupings set up some rivalries: Glenn vs ...

A great time! Nice to see Ben back skating after wasting all that time -- in college. Bailey looking like a contender! Josh looks to be building a Trackmate killer box. Skating with friends on a beautiful New England weekend, all is (momentarily) right in the world. Here's the phone vid I took of th...

I'm so sorry to hear about Pastor Peggi's passing. I always appreciated her warmth, interest and gracious spirit in opening the church to us and joining us strangers (and some of us are quite!) each year. As awkward as it was, I do feel blessed, to be blessed by someone who would -"Bless these board...

Hey, How'd it go on the 30th?

Dan Parrish

Will they come with NH themed beer cozies?

Dan Parrish

Tway,

That ramp rider rocks!

Dan

Much better than he was at my first farm!

Dan Parrish

Thanx guys! I had a great time too.
It was especially nice to see so many kids and few skaters participating.
I'll get the details and results up soon.

Till then, here's Lauren's video of the event:

Moved to SUNDAY, (always sunny day :o)

The Venue is coming together....

Hmmm, A Smith grind might tap it out, no clearance for a board slide, not vert enough for an invert, -Ollie?
Yeah, Ollie would be the ticket. Damn, I need a kicktail on my hybrid deck!

Ramps in progress....

Dan Parrish

If anyone is in the area, I'm throwing a party at my house...

Just started on the Ramps. One quarter pipe and three improvised banked plywood "features".
It should be fun!

Dan Parrish

Ok, let's ROCK!

Ahem,

I do hereby formally declare my intention, in this aforementioned venue, to-- Roll.

Glad you liked the Shizzle. I almost left that feature out but did it just for kicks.
Let's wear the sucker out!
Looked like a great day. I woln't miss the next one!

Dan Parrish

Looks like a great day!
The site, photos, write up was great. Thanks Rick.

-Plan for Super-G and Banked Slalom for my race. (TBA)

Dan Parrish

TK, just saw this post.
Thanks for hooking me up back when I was starting. I haven't gotten any better, but I've had a hell of a lot of fun. Missed you at the races. If you're gonna ride again, I have a stiff GaryCross you can have.

Dan Parrish

Dave thanx for taking the initiative on this. I'm willing to risk my status with the neighbors with another race/barbeque at my place.

I'll do my best to make the Preliminary Executive Exploritory Race Planning Commission Meeting....

Can't make the 11th

Dan Parrish

Yup.

I think I freed up the weekend and I can make it up saturday to ride.
-(Do I "race"?)

Either way, the timer will be there.

Dan Parrish

WANT A TIMER? Send me your address and I'll ship it you. Having a timer will make your training sessions more "legitimate" and probably attract more of the old timers to race. Call it the start of a series and hype it up... I'd like to be in on the fun, but I'll be out for the next 2 - 3 weekends. S...

Thanks to everyone for coming. The morning looked like a washout, then each carload brought more sunshine. The day went really well and I think everyone had fun. The Antrim crew was great to watch.

Guys, it's still wet here.
Not raining, but not sunny.

Not sure if it will dry enough, so not sure what to say about coming- Your decision.
