Racers: Three things! 1 Practice I'm putting out the call to practice tomorrow up here, 10:30 ish. If I get a few to come to (meet at 202), we could also poach Summer Street for a bit, check it out. The road is a bit uglier than I thought, after walking it a few times in the past week. I still think...

Skaters, There is no online signup, just let me know you're coming, or surprise me if you must. Facebook works, and / or note my new email: antrimrace at gmai1. c 6o3 464 q63l if you neet to hear a friendly voice. I'd like a rough head count on the race, but more importantly if you want housing, you...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Hey all. Hard to know where to even begin here, so let me just start and keep it brief, especially the tragic back-story... But first: We're racing at Home And Harvest! Perhaps it's still called the Can / Am? The dates are September 13 & 14. I haven't even figured out race fee, accoutrements, prize ...

Dave Kirkpatrick

That was a lot of fun, I hadn't even ridden yet this year - this got me back in the mood! Thanks Dan, family, and everyone who helped. And YES, we're racing in Antrim on Sep 13 and 14, it's a bit on the DL once again as I have had trouble organizing a new group of conspirators for this one, and my o...

Dave Kirkpatrick

That was a lot of fun, and food! Great seeing everyone again, and yes, what a nice group - racers, kids, spectators, neighbors, even the dog!

Took me a while to get my wheels back, but feeling good by mid-day.

Results, Dan? I need closure. Proof. Documents.

See you all in Antrim!

Dave Kirkpatrick

I took home some warmer, fuzzier thoughts after chatting with the crew at Dr. Dans yesterday: The Can / Am racer list is rather short right now. And that's not such a bad problem for us racers! We have a lot of time on a great hill to find some way to have fun... We're going to get a LOT of skating ...

The "official" race registration is here: http://www.ncdsa.com/contest_registration.asp?ContestID=571 I notice there's a "register" option on this site now, and I'll check in there too, but if you go to NCDSA you can be sure I've "seen" you. * If you wish to have housing arranged for you for the Can...

You can count on me and Bailey, Angus is a maybe. I could take one or two more from this neck of the woods - I'll check in with Emil.

Antrim Can /Am Slalom Championships will be September 13-14-15 this year. I know I'm rather tardy to place the formal calendar listing here, apologies. This year will be similar to the last ones - qualify and TS Friday, Dual Hybrid Saturday and GS and beginners on Sunday. -dk edit by Calendar Superv...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Just opening the door here - the race is of course ON for the weekend of the Antrim Home and Harvest Festival. Expect it to be a lot like previous years in terms of the courses at the main event. I'm hoping to add something for other longboarders, like a slide jam? and we always talk about something...

Dave Kirkpatrick

I'll have to do some mapping - I typically work until 6, that may leave me time to get there once in a while. Sundays in Antrim are the plan again up here, I'll have to chat with everyone to see if we can set a time to aim for. If I can get a regular helper or two I'll offer a course through Antrim ...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Hey All, I'm thinking of throwing down tape strips and calling it a race on Sunday Oct 28th - PLUS the Boston connection, Mitchell Pauley has some support and a sponsor for a mixed longboarding event on the 27th , wants to do beginner-friendly timed racing plus other stuff like slide comp. If you ar...

Thanks Maria! Really nice to see you and Richy and the Sk8Kings crew, and thanks for all your contributions to this race!

Dave Kirkpatrick

Thanks Mig, I'm on it!!

Dave Kirkpatrick

Anyone have a pic of Bailey on the motorcycle tow up the hill?

Dave Kirkpatrick

Does anyone have a great pic of Joe on the race course that we could use for the writeup article. I have a bunch of good stuff Oliver shot w/my camera, but missing that. If you have a couple great photos (of anyone) you would be willing to share for Can Am use and could send me hi-res by email, I'd ...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Thank you everyone for coming to the fifth annual South Hadley Barbecue/Skateboard Race! A good day of skating. You guys looked HOT. ;o) There were some glitches with the timer and there were *way* too many falls today, but luckily we got things worked out and nobody got seriously hurt. I hope you a...

Thanks Maria!! Per my last post Pastor Pegi's, dedication will be moved to our Friday night dinner. I believe there will still be a Blessing of the Skaters at the hill on Sunday. At last count we had 36 signed up, so it looks like were going to have some great racing, especially in the juniors! If y...

Skaters, If you are coming to the Can Am and not registered here yet, please do it. It takes 5 minutes, I need to know who's coming to make the best call on the racing brackets, and for your shirt size. http://www.ncdsa.com/contest_registration.asp?ContestID=553 MOST IMPORTANT - if you are counting ...

Dave Kirkpatrick

If you haven't signed up yet, please do so ASAP. We're counting bodies for race bracketing, tee shirt sizes, and lodging needs - all due before Thursday. After that, we're winging it. http://www.ncdsa.com/contest_registration.asp?ContestID=553 Payment info coming right up, ask for a Paypal invoice i...

Dave Kirkpatrick

I do believe there's a little outlaw race on August 25th in MA... with a real doctor on hand in case anything goes wrong. Very steep hill at the top, nice long, mellow runout... family event for sure

Need info?

Dave Kirkpatrick

We are good to go with lodging at Sargent Camp (BU Nature's Classroom. $30pp/night (add $5 for linens for the stay), we have use of a campfire pit, the common lodge - with coffee, tea, and juice always on & free - and a Headquarters building with kitchenette. This is 9 miles / 15 minutes from downto...

All's well, full steam ahead!

To keep things neat, I'd like to make the conversations happen in this thread:

This race had been announced in the N. America section of the forum, but I think we'll do all the chatting here in New England on this thread.

I've just posted the signup for this race: http://www.ncdsa.com/contest_registration.asp?ContestID=553#signup I will update full details ASAP, including housing, payments, and any pertinent changes.. Don't hesitate to message me with any immediate questions or concerns. I look forward to racing, and...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Outlaw was fun, we needed that! I think Emil will bounce right back -he's OK but haven't seen him on the hill since then. With the crew that we've got now, there should be a robust juniors class at the Can / Am. We missed all of you last weekend. Just me and Bailey and HOT high noon sun - ugh! Ran 5...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Shawn,

I've added your email to my "skaters list" for stuff going on in Antrim, NH. We still skate most Sundays, very glad to have another slalom skater at our sessions. Thanks Glenn, for connecting us.

Dave Kirkpatrick

Decent skate on Sunday. Windy enough that we'd set a course and turn around only to see half the cones in the grass... oh well. Lots of wrenching and getting the kids started, well worth it. Sunburn and ticks and Jack crashing... (Sorry Dan, it was all looking so good!). Still worth it. Perhaps it's...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Welcome aboard Lindsey! Missed you Sunday, looking forward to next. Are you free on a pattern (like 1st and 3rd) or just sort of random? I ask because I'll need someone else to set and strike courses a few times during the Summer, if we could pin down a few dates in advance we'd get more skating in....

Back to the old grind. We'll be skating on most Sundays in Antrim again, and I've set up a program to get some NEW new skaters into the mix. If you want to skate with the big kids, or if you can help train the newcomers, message me your email addy to get on my list. Helping the noobs looks like a si...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Antrim Can Am is on again, and the weekend is set. An Ap for a Major event has been submitted and, if all's well, this will again be a 3 day, 3 event race. Our race is centered around Antrim's Home and Harvest Festival, complete with a parade, chicken BBQ, fireworks, and a performance by our local b...

Dave Kirkpatrick

CANCELED! "More favorable weather..." What fool said that? EVERY time I updated or changed or posted about this race, the weather has changed to make me look like a dope. We went from two beautiful, chilly but sunny days to a few flurries Saturday that wouldn't stick to the ground to HOLY COW, a rea...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Antrim Jam - October Outlaw has officially been moved to Sunday 10/30, same times. 202 location, contact me for info or directions. Several skaters who could not make a Saturday will join the ranks now, plus a couple "maybe's". Weather forecast is more favorable for Sunday as well. Not everyone's ch...

Dave Kirkpatrick

A lot of people would have an easier time with Sunday, and are asking for that. Weather looks about the same both days. If you haven't registered and are waiting in the wings, you might miss the call. Please register at NCDSA or contact me directly. I will be sure to notify all of the registered par...

Dave Kirkpatrick

I'm leaning heavily towards the 202 hill for this. I had an interesting confrontation with the property owner a couple weeks ago that started a bit ugly, but ended rather well. Still, we'll want to avoid playing or hanging out in the runout. Take your run, turn it around, and get back to the top. Ki...

Dave Kirkpatrick

We have been given BASIC status from ISSA for this race - fabulous! Pick up a few extra points in this fun, beginner-friendly, possibly chilly event.

Dave Kirkpatrick

Alright, I'm committing. Going with Saturday as plan A, if I don't have a rain date the stress will eat me up. Location is either PLR or 202, with the other as a backup. OCTOBER OUTLAW: I am planning to hold our Antrim race as predicted. Location TBA, check in at ISSA site or get on the text list by...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Thanks Maria, great clip! I'm very glad you were there shooting. I haven't seen CTV's stuff yet, but that's all Saturday. I shot none of my own this year (thanks to Brian and Oliver for taking my camera for a walk, that was fun to go through after). Just put together a quick vid of Joe's record sett...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Still have a timer?

Looking for one, PM me.

Thanks Doug, nice shots, I hope you see a bit of business from this!
