PEOPLES.

It's just a crappy show. I hate to see people displacing themselves from states north of the Mason-Dixon just to see crummy lil ole me and two other washed-up skaters. Could be boring as shit. There will be no half-pipe.

Well, I'll buy y'all a pitcher anyways.

Rene Hayden

Well, come if you must, leave tomatoes and old bushings at home. Be glad to see some friendly faces, anyways.

Rene Hayden

Yes, possibly a punk-ass drummer (Me), plus 2 geetars, sometimes playing bass. It could turn out to be Canadian humor (in a bad way--like Rod Torkelson's ARMADA featuring Herman Menderchuk). I'm reluctant to recommend it to all you hardcore weaned mofos, as it's a bit tame, it's our first show, and ...

Rene Hayden

Band practise--have a show coming up, so it was non-negotiable.

Sorry y'all... hope it was fun.

Rene Hayden

just kidding.

That's the 3rd weekend, eh?

let's dooit!

Rene Hayden

Rene Hayden

Can somebody please make a schedule? Or I will...

3d weekend of every month sound good? w/rain date the following wkend?

Anyone scoped out fountainhead these days for a race?

Let's stay slalom alive in '05!!!

Rene.

Rene Hayden

Hey, I know you all have a lot of STUFF. And it takes up room from all the other new STUFF you could be buying. GSL is going to be putting together some thirty-odd boards for common use at the GSL bowl. But they are lacking in bushings and bearings. Anyone have any old bushings/bearings they want to...

Rene Hayden

Here's the latest: Hello, We are getting closer and closer to the finished skatepark. More concrete was poured this week and we have another pour this Saturday at 7am. We will be onsite at 6am, so if you would like to help we will definitely need it and a lot of it. Our volunteer pro concrete finish...

Rene Hayden

aNYONE feel like helping out this week? Cheers, Rene. "Hello all, It’s been a hectic week full of lots of work pouring concrete. It’s all starting to shape up and looking real sick! Look here for a synopsis of the progress and up to date photos, almost! http://www.eastcoastaholic.com/greenskatelab.h...

Rene Hayden

I think this all depends on what kind of event you want, i.e.: slopestyle, or run n' gun. There are a lot of places with a lot longer runs than the park and ride: Fort Totten Drive and F.T. park in D.C., Fountainhead, University of Maryland all have some bitchin' runs, and me, Anthony Sm. and the Bo...

Rene Hayden

I can't commit.

I most likely have to work sat and sun. this weekend to make a deadline. But I'll try and pop by--just don't be surprised if I don't.

Everyone besides Wes E, Brian P., Vlad, and Earl,

YOU DON"T KNOW WHAT YOU"RE MISSING!!! GO GO GO!!!!

Mr. Flis?

Rene.

Rene Hayden

Jeff.

That's rockin.

Rene.

Rene Hayden

Come one come all. If you have time to give this week or can take a day off, they are pouring the crete down at GSL, every day of the week up until April 2, and maybe longer. I will be there Thursday and possibly Saturday. Anyone with experience in concrete, of course, is most welcome. Will the foru...

Rene Hayden

I mistakenly went to this site yesterday.

RAD!!!!!

offsets?

RAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

check out the sweet tricks section. I wanna see Vlad bust out "the snake."

RAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rene Hayden

Sweet....

Rene Hayden

Woo!

Everybody looks so intense!

Thanks Vlad.

But where's the pics of you?

Rene.

P.S.: Earl, there's a pic of you too.

Rene Hayden

Hey Earl, It was really nice meeting you. too bad we didn't get more of a chance to skate it up. Next time, eh? Welcome to the crazy world of D.C. slalom. I hope you stayed a while and ran the hill. Any word on the next event, my fellow DCers? Somebody needs to plan some eventage. ....... fotki ? .....

Rene Hayden

pics pix picks pisks piks peex piix bics ???///????...????

Where is my little fotki?

Rene Hayden

Yeah, it was a racer's race. I don't think anyone at the end really cared who was in what slot, but I do believe Parsons walked off with the fastest time of 20.2-something, overcoming Vlad's early posting (of course) of 20.4-something. Anyone remember? Wes had the best time in the bombing trials at ...

Rene Hayden

I, for one, am so fricking STOKED! I didn't eat it fully. The slalom course was really, really fun and fast, just a little speed demon race. The day was beautiful, mild and warm, the sun peeking through the boughs, twinkling off the lake, and heating up the air with the smell of leather and lycra. W...

Rene Hayden

60% chance of a snow shower tomorrow morning according to weather.com makes a Sunday race just fine by me. It's drizzling, unpredictable and generally crappy up in College Park at the mo.

Unless we are luging.

Old school luge.

With the blades.

Rene Hayden

The answer to the question of where to be so as not to be square, is, according to the GSL website: Located @ FIVE - 1214B 18th Street NW Washington DC 20036 202 - 331 - 7123 I should add that the City Goats and Medications are two of the finest rawk band of the District. Cheers, see you all there a...

Rene Hayden

Anthony S.-- By "scapegoating," you mean that I'm assigning blame to the blameless, or putting somebody (usually an outsider) at fault for the actions of myself or my group? I'm not doing any of that. Your message, for better or for worse, was in fact the only reason why I personally didn't show up ...

Rene Hayden

Sorry I didn't show folks. I interpreted the following statement by Mr. Smallwood to mean that we would in fact be holding the whole shebang today (Sunday): "Right now at 8am it's bright and sunny in DC but the system is on the march. It seems it will pass by fairly quickly so Sunday is looking good...

Rene Hayden

HOW did I know this was going to happen.

Revised forecast according to the Washington Post for today:

20% chance of snow later today, but cloudy.

Is anyone going tomorrow? Is anyone there today?

Rene Hayden

DAMN that was a good li'l show.

Nice venue as well.

Rene Hayden

Gentlemen and gentlewomen; It looks fairly probably to snow/rain tomorrow (40%), although it's sunny as Brian Parsons' disposition at the mo. Since people are coming from as far away as Quebec to our little shindig, how do you all feel about skating on Sunday if it rains Sat? Instead of a post-skate...

Rene Hayden

The weather forecast according to weather.com as of 10:47 Thursday morning was 30% snow/showers on Sat. The zip for fountainhead/fairfax station is 22039 if you want to check. Brian: the address, if you want to mapquest it to get a general idea of how to get there is: 10875 Hampton Rd Fairfax Statio...

Rene Hayden

College Park--it's 1:30 and it's been snowing since 11:00, with little to no accumulation. As long as temps stay above freezing in the day, snow will not be a problem for this weekend unless it snows later on in the week. Then, we will have tobboganing. Even then, it might not be a big deal. And Bri...

Rene Hayden

Senor Riordon, As Mr. Flis explains. 9 AM slalom set up and racing till noon at Fountainhead then a downhill sesh at 12 for those who like to partake of adrenaline cocktails Then party on Garth at 7 'round Antoine Petitbois' digs As for the AC/DC name, that's in the beginning of said thread. All Cra...

Rene Hayden

don't forget the rain date is the wkend after.

Rene Hayden

Anthony, on the beer tip, you may also want to speak with Jason, who is the brewmaster at Gordon Biersch.

He's a damn cool guy who's been out to the GSL a bunch of times.

Rene Hayden

Yeah, you all should go down and take a look at the site. It's now completely enclosed and they've started doing the forming for the inside transitions. You can really get a sense of what it's going to look like, which is fricking boss. All that's left before crete are the transitions, some outside ...

Rene Hayden

Shit Yeah.

Rene Hayden

Sounds good to me.

Just as long as the slalomers aren't in the way or on the side of downhill runs, that's fine.

I'll be available to walkie-talkie or we can just do a switch-it-up. In fact, maybe that should be the race stakes. Last two have to man the talkie-walkies.

Rene.

Rene Hayden

By "mic" I was referring to walkie-talkie. As for the shuttle, doesn't someody own a Segway? We could shuttle people up on that, or tether them to my dog. I know this is outlaw, I have no great hopes, just that everybody races, has fun, and doesn't get hurt (seriously). I'm not going to be responsib...

Rene Hayden

What's so frickin' hard to organize? You need two walkie-talkies, two volunteers and a stopwatch for downhill, right? And maybe a shuttler? I can be one of the volunteers, since I don't own a fullface, and only a leather jacket. Maybe one of the other slalomers or significant others will volunteer t...

Rene Hayden

Okay! good to see everyone wasn't kidnapped, eaten, or flogged by Saint Nick (that's what friendly Santy did for 18th c. German kids)--I was kind of wondering there for a while. Second question: Is *anybody* interested in the Fountainhead AC/DC thing, 'cause we have to lay down a schedule, and if th...

Rene Hayden

Hey my outlaw peoples! Is DC slalom officially dead now or just waking up from a long winter nap? No sessions no postings.... Did everyone fall down go boom on the slopes and hurt their typing fingers? Is this what happens when the Gambles stop showing up? Is there some sort of a boycott of the foru...

Rene Hayden

Yeah, what is happening with Ohm, Vlad, Wes, Brian, Eric, Slappy et. al.? Haven't heard from anyone 'round these parts except the roundwallers/longboarders. Have ye forsaken these boards for the NCDSA or what? Moved out of DC? out of slalom? I would cone it, but I've got no cones, much less a timer....

Rene Hayden

According to the GSL website, it'll be going until 2 AM.

I'll be there.

Rene.

Rene Hayden

Hey Mr. Flis--

Yeah, I'd love to go, but I took two bad spills on my bike and I have a nice hipper to rehab.

My advice from this: don't carry screwdrivers in your hip pocket, and watch out for black ice.

Rene.

Rene Hayden

Would Ohm, Parson, Vlad, or WesE chime in here with recommendations regarding which hill we should do the slalom? I'm workin' blind here and I ain't no coursesetter....

WE could call this year's event "Run to the Hills" -- oh, wait, that's Maiden.....

Rene Hayden

WEll, why don't we plan on having the first half of the day say break down along this schedule: 10-1 "Rock and Roll ain't never gonna die" GS slalom quals and finals on "back hill" (time abbreviated dep. on how many wigglers will show) 1-2 "Let me put my love into you" Beginner and/or pack racing on...

Rene Hayden

what about taking the run from the other side (...? I don't know, I've never been there), as some folks suggested a while back?

Would that be better for beginner racing/pack racing/slalom?

Rene.

Rene Hayden

LOW KEY SCHMO KEY... AC/DC!!!! Now, seeing as I live far far away, and have never skated Fountainhead, I really wish that someone who has been there and skated that could inform us re: the bust factor. Ohm, Slappy, Brian, Wes? Is it better to broach the subject with the rangers, or is it best to do ...

Rene Hayden

March 5 (March 12 rain date) as per above. I'm sure there will be slalom if I have to set a course myself. 'Course I only have beercups. At the thought of this double horror, I'm sure one of our fine gentleman or gentlewoman course-setters who actually know their stingers from their offsets will ste...
