Hey Nick,

Go for it. Don't wait for someone else to step up. Magnolia is a great place to race. If you start the process I'm sure the Chapman's & Derek will assist you. Regardless, if you hold a race peolpe will show up and help you through the process and on race day.

Just do it.

Paul Pellerin

Karl, Terry & Adam I could help with keeping records for the series points, since I'm an accountant. Also, anyone can take charge of having a race at the Dam. I pulled it off in the fall of 2006 with only ten days. All you have to do is contact PSR. He will give you the name of the person to talk wi...

Paul Pellerin

Hey Joe, I see they finally let you back into the country. Nice to hear from you. You wouldn't throw me out of the club. I have not been to enough events to be part of any club. I'm virtually unknown. Besides we have not gone drinking yet. I'll see you at the top of the hill this spring, early and r...

Paul Pellerin

Hey Karl, Thank you. I'm glad to help you and the other young racers over the past couple of years. Everyone has been very appreciative and have gotten faster. However, you have really excelled over the last two years. I knew you had the talent, but lacked the funds to purchase the best equipment on...

Paul Pellerin

Glenn, May thoughts exactly. Tim has put a lot of time and effort into putting this race together. His first race attempt was rained out this past May. This is his second attempt and yet only 14 racers have signed up. Last Columbus Day weekend we pulled a race together at the last minute at the Dam....

Paul Pellerin

Hey Karl,

Looks like you dialed that board in.

Are those wheels wider than normal or is it the photo?

You could of earned enough cash during winter break for that radikal.

Karl, Maine race. Well, I'm still trying. I'm working with a local N-F-P to raise funds for a concrete park in Portland. Eli has the experience and connections with the City of Portland to obtain the permits required to run a race. He has held events the past few years that required permits/street c...

Paul Pellerin

Hey Dan, Your new park looks great!! The big bowl looks quite deep. The Lewiston, ME park opened last month. The pictures look sick. Currently, I'm working with a N-F-P corporation to raise money for a concrete skatepark here in Portland, ME. The city donated the land and just approved $75,000 for t...

Paul Pellerin

John,

Are the results from the Dam Final going to be posted?

Paul Pellerin

Hey Matt,

Come on back east!! We will take you back.

Paul Pellerin

Derek,

Thanks for the update. I recall reading something about changing the day to Sat., but I did not know it was official.

Paul Pellerin

Hey Eric, Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad I could help. I'm sure you will need help next year as well with the twins on the way. The reward really comes from seeing the younger racers having a good time and progressing at each and every race. I'm hoping to make Farmageddon on November 12th an...

Paul Pellerin

Mig,

Agghhhhh......the whole crew. Sorry to hear the bad news. You and the crew will be greatly missed.

Thank you for trying to make the race.

Adam - you can bring your cones just in case. I like the new green cones - reminds me of the 80's when everything was day-glo.

Paul Pellerin

Hey Adam,

Yes, the broom and chalk are good ideas. We could use a couple of extra brooms.

Also, does anyone have walkie talkies? If so, please bring them.

Thank you.

Paul Pellerin

We have one timing system cofirmed. Thank you Glenn C. Claude please bring your timing system and leaf blower. We are still hoping for a dual TS on Sunday. Please note, we are still trying to confirm what time we have to be out of the park. The park closes at 3pm, but on weekends the gates are not o...

Paul Pellerin

Hi Glenn, Sorry for the confusion. This was a last minute attempt to ensure that we did not let a year slip by without holding a race at the dam. The info on the sign up sheet was transferred from last year. We will be racing both days. Several people have indicated they can only make it for one of ...

Paul Pellerin

Adam, As I stated in my post, the contest calendar info was transferred from last year's race. It has not been updated. We just wanted to make the sign-up page available ASAP. Karl will make changes later today. We hope to have a dual TS or tight HB, but it depends on several factors. If the conditi...

Paul Pellerin

I just signed up for this race. PLEASE NOTE: The info for this race was transferred from last year's race just to get something posted. It indicates that this is an outlaw race and that we do not have permission. WE HAVE PERMISSION FOR THIS RACE THIS YEAR!!! The sign-up page will be updated later to...

Paul Pellerin

Hey Karl, Thank you very much for setting up the sign-up page for this race. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. The courses will be set by John Gilmour and Eric Brammer. Both have vowed to make the courses faster and more difficult than last year's. This will be a great race to stay tuned up fo...

Paul Pellerin

No!!! No you can not!!!

Remember, you all ready had your race this year. So you have no say.

Actually, these are the types of courses we have discussed for this race. We definately want two distinct courses. However, it really depends on the conditions at the time of the race.

Paul Pellerin

IT'S ON!!! I just spoke with Phil Morrison at the Dam. He gave us permission to race Oct. 7th & 8th. Because you all behaved so well last year, he decided to wave the permits etc... Good Job Everyone - Less Red Tape - Thank You. At this late date, we most likely would not have made the permit proces...

Paul Pellerin

Hey Brian,

I'm putting the bushings in the mail tonight. I have to meet with a client later tonight, so I'll be driving through Portland. I'll make a detour as the post office is right off of the highway. You should have them in three days.

Take Care.

Paul Pellerin

Brian,

This is what I have in stock as far as rad soft bushings. 1-clear and 2 - red.

They are yours. Just provide an address.

Paul Pellerin

Good News!!! I called Phil, the man in charge of the dam, the other day. No one was in, but I was able to leave a detailed message regarding the race. Well, he called my office Sat. afternoon and left a message. He indicated Sherry had called a while back and requested Columbus Day weekend Friday-Su...

Paul Pellerin

Hey Brian,

I may have a couple extras. I'll check tomorrow and get back to you.

Paul Pellerin

Karl,

What about having another race this year at the Arboretum?? The Arboretum is a great location as well.

Paul Pellerin

Adam,

We are working on this race. I'll be making calls tomorrow and Eric will follow up at the beginning of next week. We will keep you posted.

In the meantime keep your weekends free and STAY TUNED..........

There is still lots of racing in the northeast before the snow flies.

Paul Pellerin

Thanks Brian for your support.

I'll make sure its worth the trip. If we hold the race in Gray, we can plan a trip to the park afterwards. After a long day of skating, I'll have an after race bbq/party at house.

Paul Pellerin

Hey Derek, The boardercross idea sounds interesting and I could actually make this one. Joe was talking about a late fall mini-series (2-3 races). I would like to host a race here in Maine. I'm available anytime after the Oct. 16 tax deadline. I have a couple of locations. The first location is Scar...

Paul Pellerin

Brian & Joe, I know I read the entry fee was $50. I remember being surprised at first as there was never a mention of a fee and I was thinking outlaw series. After reading everything they were providing, I thought what an deal. I can not find the location. It was not posted on the sign-up page, but ...

Paul Pellerin

Yes, we have rednecks with guns. You would think after 30yrs, skateboarding would be a bit more accepted here in Maine. No way!!! The cities and towns continue to spend millions to build useless parks, tennis courts etc... that get little or no use. Liability my ass. My 3 year old daughter fell off ...

Paul Pellerin

AAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! THE ANSWER IS NO!! I thought we had a chance since this is one of the few towns in Maine that actually has a skateboard park. I did not even have a chance to explain a thing. He knew why I was calling and came out firing. I did get him to admit that...

Paul Pellerin

It's been a while since I skated a park, but I can't pass up Wally World Crete. Only in NJ, does it take twice as long to get from point A to point B. I e-mailed Joe I several photos of each hill. Based on the photos, he was very impressed with the hill selection. he will post them in the near futur...

Paul Pellerin

Actually, I was hoping to ollie the bike rack and perhaps remove some of my cone penalties.

How close is that concrte park (Wally Holiday) to the race site?

Paul Pellerin

Regardless of width I'm still going to hit way more than my share of cones.

Yes, Fatboy you heard right. Of course, the slowest racers get the biggest lobsters.

Lobster Pie for the Fatboy!!!

Paul Pellerin

Rob, It's not that you stink at taking pictures, it just difficult to capture the true depth/steepness of the any hill. The pictures of my location don't due the hill justice at all. Most of the pictures make the hill look relatively mellow. Your pictures certainly make the courses look fast. Howeve...

Paul Pellerin

Rob, Your spot looks great with the trees and way it bends its way through the park. A tad narrow, but I'm sure the speed is killer. It's time to hit NJ again. My last visit to NJ was Columbus Day weekend 1979 to skate CherryHill Skatepark of course. The Maine leg of the Outlaw Farm Series is tentat...

Paul Pellerin

Curt, I took the weekend off and worked at home the past couple of days. I read your post from May 29th this evening. I have your address and will mail the wheels first thing in the am. I tried mailing them tonight, but I didn't make it. The guy at the gate obviously is not a skater. I'll make sure ...

Paul Pellerin

Curt, I have one set of purple avalons - untrimmed - never used. Actually, I have about 14 sets of Avalons most of which are brand new. I'm sure this is of no surprise based on my most recent cone bashing fest. I really need to start practicing. Let me know what you want and I'll see if a have it. I...

Paul Pellerin

Curt,

Sorry to hear the bad news about your boards. If you left them at the race someone would have picked them???

If not, I have a bunch of Avalons trimmed and untrimmed.

Let me know, what I can do.

Paul Pellerin

The tentative dates are July 15th weekend or July 22nd weekend. Once Joe I and Gilmour approve of the hill(s). I will start working on the details, dates, times, one or two day race etc... Curt, I knew what you meant about practicing. I wish I had more time to practice. It's fun just to race and han...

Paul Pellerin

All this bitching is getting really old. The second race of the Outlaw Farm Series is tomorrow/today and already we have skidded back to last year's blow-up. It's too early in the season for this crap. Keep it positive and fun. I'm hosting the July contest in Maine. Since it's the final race before ...

Paul Pellerin

Brian, I'll be at your race. I'd bring a crew, but I'm the only one from Maine that slaloms. Perhaps this will change after the July 22nd, Farm Race held in Maine. The location looks great, except those grantie crubs. They love foam-core slalom boards. You don't need to worry about the La Costa race...

Paul Pellerin

Brian,

Sorry for the delay.

I've been buried with work. I'm a CPA/tax accountant so this is CRUNCH-TIME!!!

I'll check out the PM and try to respond this weekend. I'm heading down your way next weekend.

Paul Pellerin

Brian,

I have a Roe Crossfire PS, with a med-stiff flex. Purchased the fall of 2004, very good condition with very little use.

Paul

Paul Pellerin

Joe,

Marathon day is Monday April 18th. Also know as Patriots Day in MA & ME and as a result we get an additional day tacked on to tax season.

Paul Pellerin

Podium Joe, Thanks for reminding me about the newspaper article. I have a client that writes a couple of stories each week (includes a color picture or two) for the Outdoor section of the Maine Sunday Telegram. She loved the idea of covering a grassroots race. As part of her research, she has to exp...

Paul Pellerin

Hey Joe & Tway, Thanks for the invite. Count me in for a race. A July race date sounds perfect for Maine. I don't have a location yet, but I'll work on that after tax season with your input. Speaking of tax season, could you move the April 15th race up a week or two??? I tried calling the IRS, but I...
