I'd like to point out all of our low starters on Saturday moved right up to the top of the hill for the GS on Sunday!! Most even started off the ramp! My 11yo Bailey, on Lynn and MB's sound advice and encouragement, crippled her bearings and headed for the top of Summer Street too! After we both got...

I'm still waiting to get my thumb drive back, it was dispatched to send official race results to ISSA, so I don't have the full spreadsheets up yet. Here's the simple version: HYBRID SLALOM RESULTS A Group 1. Joe McLaren 2. Adam Schwippert 3. Martin Reaves 4. George Pappas 5. Pascal Jean 6. Keith Ho...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Did a lot of moving "stuff" today... The cops stopped by, had fixed the speed trailer themselves to set it up for our race, and offered to sponsor a couple kids again. Great to have local support. Had a nice chat with the ONE angry local guy (who filled my ear full of obscenities over the phone 2 we...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Thank you guys for helping with the publicity. I emailed w JH and we'll get you some goodies each day. I'll send another email through that loop to add you Jani.

Dave Kirkpatrick

Are there any unresloved transpo issues right now? Post 'em if you got 'em.

Dave Kirkpatrick

Thanks for the weather update Brian, I have 10 signed up for the Maharishi. Everyone is a single except one. I expect to have 20 people there? They think 20 singles might be possible, more might be tough. If you're sharing (sharing might be fun!) or if you haven't checked in with me, please let me k...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Skaters, A few things about the Race, not sure if everyone got all of this yet so sending out to all lists, sorry if a repeat: Rides Requests Someone needed a ride from Manchester airport Thursday, another? was looking for a ride to Hartford CT Airport on Monday morning. If anyone is going to or nea...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Racers, I thought I had successfully ditched this job, but Maharishi has asked that I (we) get people registered, they will handle check ins. If you are planning on staying there, please check in with me if you haven't yet. Remember to bring sheets and stuff for your luxurious adventure, and that no...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Thanks Jani - I'm sure they'll make sense of it.

Dave Kirkpatrick

I've got child labor hard at work today assembling some Fullbags! The only thing more fun than skating with them is making them work for it!

Never got my Summer outlaw off the ground - October anyone? I'll have some fledgelings from the rec program by then.

Dave Kirkpatrick

Sorry, I realize there's a Can Am 2011 Thread in two places, here and New England : http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/phpBB ... 134&t=7786

I wonder if a mod could merge them to the better location for us, please and thanks?

Dave Kirkpatrick

That about sums it up in this neck of the woods. Everything we tied down wouldn't have gone any where anyhow. We didn't even have to close our windows, we enjoyed the sound of wind and rain through the screens. TK had the best commentary on his Facebook update: "The Frisbee that was stuck on our roo...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Thanks for the thoughts - We did OK in Antrim, some power outages and high water, but mostly just branches and junk in the road. South of here on the coast, they got some of the heavy stuff. I hope everyone's alright down there. d Y'all should keep the northeast crew in your thoughts today. Looking ...

Dave Kirkpatrick

We normally close the road right after school buses, around 9AM - I'm going to look into making that earlier. I'd hope to have practice runs by 9:30, qualifiers start at 11:30, TS starting around 2. Some can qualify Sat AM if necessary, that will probably be verty early with short or no practice - w...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Thanks for the post Glenn, Yes, beginners race is mostly kids but anyone's welcome. Glenn said it pretty well. Shallow end of the hill, loaner gear, they usually each get to run several times and choose a really easy course, or a less easy course, or if you just make it to the bottom of the incline ...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Skaters, Sorry for the wait - You can sign up for the Antrim Can Am Slalom Skateboard Championships on NCDSA: http://www.ncdsa.com/contest_registration.asp?ContestID=521#signup You aren't fully confirmed until you make payment through Active: http://www.active.com/page/Event_Details.htm?event_id=198...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Hey Skaters - The Can Am is ON of course, and reg is still open, I apologize for not updating here sooner. I'm hoping to put signup on NCDSA today, but you can contact me to register as well. We're pretty much sticking to the same format - qualifiers Friday AM, TS Friday PM when we get to it, some s...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Great skate Dan. Catching up on my backlog a little here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2271829156088.134804.1259420448&type=1 Thanks to Oliver and Bailey for the fine camera work. Let me know if you can't see them, I'll put them up elsewhere. There are a LOT of pics in this collection, w...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Sorry to move this w short notice, but I feel the downtown gig needs better planning. So it's SAT 10 AM at 202 for the hardcores - and yes, we'll call it a race. Given the hectic end of Summer schedules we all love to endure, not sure how many pre-fab Sunday Skates will fly from here on out... I may...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Glenn, change of plan for the Summer St. clinic - moving it ahead a couple ? weeks. I don't have the new crew ready yet, and need to resolve a local issue before we hit downtown. Still on for a skate!! Let's skate Saturday at the 202 hill, (PLR is the alt location.) I'd be up for 10AM if I get a cou...

That's all I got.

Glenn, thanks for the ride post, makes it SO easy for the Boston crew - no excuses now, Beaners!

Terry, glad to hear you're coming, looking forward to skating with you and the gang.

Dave Kirkpatrick

Crickets... 2 posts in 4 years, and I am both of them. New Englanders, noobs, lurkers - There are races and weekly trainings coming right up here in S NH, and there are people willing to help you get started, loan you gear, give you a solid start and lots of great advice. If you're curious send your...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Maharishi is good to go this year. It's still for sale, but pretty sure we're locked in, unless someone shows up, literally, with a bag of cash. Big deals take time and our economy is still in the crapper. Yay for that! The group that bumped us last year is NOT on for our race weekend, so no worries...

Dave Kirkpatrick

I assure you, we have the sketchiest... and the finest. The middle ground is rather thin. Andabump. Not to forget Dr Dan's! We're down a NESRA race this year and haven't picked up a new one. Let's keep bringing the new ones on board, this is a mellow and friendly race! DH guys might try a few runs o...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Let's say Sat the 30th is a go, rain date Sunday - I'll get the neighbors ready for a Summer Street Jam / Clinic. A very awesome side note: I've gotten funding to set up a Summer skating program based on 6 new completes & safety gear, I'll run it through the rec dept. REC may help cover us with conc...

Dave Kirkpatrick

I was hoping to have clinic / outlaw days in both July and August, downtown on Summer Street. Darn if it isn't July already. I might still get one off 16/17 weekend, or 30/31 weekend (One day plus rain date). It doesn't take much to get this rolling, but much better the more we put into it. These do...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Any exotic features this time around? We still haven't jumped fire!

Dave Kirkpatrick

Bring what you got, we'll figure it out!

Dave Kirkpatrick

Excellent! This is a fast, fun little hill, family friendly neighborhood, always with great company and great food. Boston area skaters, Antrim/NH skaters, you might hook up rides out there with a few of us who are going - let me know, or post here. Hey, let's all try to come up with some kind of sk...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Right on Dan! It's in my book, and I'll send it out to the skaters - thanks!!

Dave Kirkpatrick

I should throw out the "skirmish" times, just for fun. We picked up these mini-timers that make things so much more interesting - two light beacons and a timer that velcros to your board were about 50 bucks. It couldn't be easier to do a fair job of "keeping score" with almost no effort. If you want...

Dave Kirkpatrick

We're still getting out on Sundays. Great training session today - yet another new skater, he went from hoping to get down the hill alive to getting a real time on the course in 4 hours!! New guy last week to, and the girl what brung 'im has picked up her game in a big way as well. The youngsters ar...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Dr. Dan, did you pin down a date yet? I will need to put some things on the calendar soon, especially the Summer Street clinics.

Dave Kirkpatrick

Hey, since the world didn't end on May 21, we're still at it - I have a slalom training session most Sundays here in Antrim, NH, sometimes Saturday (and sometimes a random day, after work hours). Anyone interested in getting on my email list, just let me know. I can get a text msg blast going too, i...

Dave Kirkpatrick

I'll bet you thought I forgot, or lost the results. Well OK, it was first one then the other but it wasn't my fault, I, I... (insert weak excuse here). This little race turned into what would pass for a lazy, late-season practice. Late arrivals, early departures... a few turned up to run the cones b...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Greetings Skaters, The Can/Am International is officially ON once again! Antrim's Home and Harvest Festival is Saturday, 9/17 which makes our race dates September 16-18. I'm still gathering info and weighing options, but more than likely we'll stick to something like what's worked in the past - qual...

Dave Kirkpatrick

My worst injury to date was the knee, demonstrating some silly thing to the kiddies on the bunny slope. Pumped weird, stepped off the board then stepped on it as it rolled under me doing a low speed split/knee twist that had me hobbling and barely able to walk the next day. Same thing, it wasn't bad...

Dave Kirkpatrick

And it's a go. 202 at Noon, Tomorrow (SAT). Lunch plan is a Rick and Diane's run we'll cobble together on the hill - bring a few bucks or just BYO whateveritis. (My backup plan is two jars of pickles and four cans of Pringles. And a coke). * I won't be doing much for the Sunday skates after this but...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Alright I'll call it - call it the last Hurrah, maybe. Can I fly the NESRA flag on this? A brisk little OUTLAW on Saturday the 30th at the 202 hill. Racing starts at noon. GS, single Hybrid (yeah, I called it hybrid!) and the 25 cone challenge if we get enough kids. Maybe we can sneak in some DH or ...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Hey, just to keep the ball rolling, nice introduction! David GW has joined the Antrim crew several times for training sessions this Summer and came up to RACE and take home a prize in the 2010 Can Am International. How cool is that? Glad to have you aboard David! I suspect the Boston scene is glowin...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Very glad to have had you come race DGW, having new and enthusiastic racers come and join the show means a lot to US as well! Much of this is about building the scene, so whenever you have the chance to bring someone aboard, "spread the stoke" as they say... it's both a duty and an honor! Met a new ...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Thanks Seb - good stuff!

Dave Kirkpatrick

Thanks for the fast work on race results Mig, and Congrats to Louis and Schwip!

Any chance you have Kids Race info for the locals to peruse? Or Joe?

I posted a few pix on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=8 ... 448&ref=mf

I haven't looked at the video yet, but will soon!

Dave Kirkpatrick

Hey, looks like we're about to race!

Anyone have last minute questions? Comments? Complaints?

We are busy, busy getting things set up, just wanted to check in, bump it, and see if there's anything hanging out there...

See you tonight or way too early tomorrow, on the hill!

Dave Kirkpatrick

Hey, I'm thinking an October NESRA Race is in order in Antrim. I'd like to make it something with 2 or 3 levels of B/C for the newer skaters, plus GS and Hybrid in open class only. It might look like: Kids race - 15 cones EZ 25 Cone Challenge = big kids / B B-Start GS course, loose and flowing GS - ...

Dave Kirkpatrick

Last call for beer names and graphics suggestions - get yours in! We've got a classic English (aka American?) bitter and a Canadian ale, both on the lighter blonde side. So tell your jokes slowly, and don't take advantage..! Don't hesitate to send your tweaked graphics, if you have something that's ...
