Hi, Bernie:

Home & Harvest committee is meeting next Monday for a post-event meeting and to set the date for next year. Will post the date ASAP. Thanks for your kind words. For me, I'm glad to see it come -- and go! Zzzzzz.

Hi,

A Kansas City Royals hat was left at the Seven Maples. Belong to anybody?

Mig is correct, the Vans shoe is a right 8.5.

Sounds from the posts that many of you found stoke in Antrim, a number of you found new friends, and a couple of you even found love. As for what you lost . . . o I have one brown Vans leather shoe. So if you were wondering why you were hobbling out of town . . . . o One pair of black Quest fingerle...

Thanks!

Good Morning: Thanks again for all who attended the Antrim race. It's raining this morning, so we really were blessed this weekend. Say, I'm looking for hi-rez pictures (300 PPI or higher) of our winning racers, Richy, Joel, Lynn, Martin, Jason, Greg for the papers. I'm on a deadline today, so if yo...

Hi, Dr. Dan:

Thanks for the pictures. Particularly like the dual hybrid pictures. Most excellent!

Hi, Racers: At Joe's suggestion, we have set up a contingency location in case of weather. We have negotiated access to a former business forms printer's warehouse in Peterborough, 12 miles to the south.

Hi, Antrim Racers: Thanks again for registering for the Antrim Can/Am Slalom Championships September 19-21, 2008. Some of you have been registered since February, so it's now time to find out who's actually coming to our beautiful corner of New England to skate! This email will deal strictly with wh...

Hi, All; The owner of the Maplehurst Inn just let me know that she's offering a special deal to racers who would like something other than camping this September. Juliette Ermitano said tonight that if you can get four racers together per room, she'll do $30 per person per night including breakfast....

OK, guys & gals, you need to bring your "A" game to Antrim this year! It's gonna be great!

Thanks for all your support. We promise to provide a great weekend for you!

Good Morning: Would you guys be willing to help spread the word? I'm trying to get calendar listings and postings into other disciplines of skating and even snow slalom, in hopes of bringing them in as spectators if nothing else. If you would be willing to make some posts on local forums you use or ...

Brian Beihl

You're invited to the 2008 Antrim CAN/AM Slalom Championships in September! Most of the discussion of the race has been in the New England channel, so we wanted to extend the invitation to Canadian racers for those who may have missed it. As you've probably heard, the Antrim race has become a favori...

Where does the tap go in?

Brian

Brian Beihl

We really just wanted to have Guiness, maybe three or four of them.

Brian

Brian Beihl

All part of the sport growing up, I suppose. The world records I think are a good news hook for the sport at any location. It gets the press to take a look at something they might not otherwise care about. A headline like "World Record Set in Antrim" gets the town folk jazzed about the event, too, l...

Brian Beihl

Mig:

The world record attempt would be after racing on a 100 cone TS course on Friday afternoon. From my perspective, it was intended to be a fun "side-show" which would be a hook for the press to come in.

That is if the snow melts by then . . . .

Brian

Brian Beihl

Joe, Glenn, et al: Our discussion about a 50 cone world record try stirred up a discussion on setting rules for attempts. Thought you guys might want to weigh in . . . http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=5949 No word yet on Main status. Hope to see it soon so I can get the PR whe...

Marty: The four airports we use in order of convenience are: Manchester, NH - Boston Regional Airport (MHT) 50 minutes from Antrim Bigger carriers: Southwest, United, US Scare, Delta. No Jet Blue. Boston, MA Logan 1.75 hours from Antrim (on a good day) Everything but Southwest, and including Jet Blu...

Brian Beihl

Martin:

It would be great to have you here in Antrim. Northern New England is beautiful in the fall. Chilly nights, but warm days and generally decent weather that time of year.

Brian

Brian Beihl

Pat:

Southwest flies into Manchester (MHT) if you have that available. That is generally very competitive with Boston but less distance and hassle. Do check Manchester, as United connects through Chicago, and US Scare flies through either Pittsburgh, Philly or Newark.

Brian

Brian Beihl

OK, so I was really wrong about the length of the course. So much for my estimates. Here are the real numbers: Total length of Summer Street course: 1,045 feet / 318.5 meters As the course was set in 2007: GS was 720 feet / 219.5 meters Hybrid was 520 feet / 158.5 meters We'll need to add a tight sl...

Brian Beihl

It's not beer, but I just talked with the Red Bull marketing guy for Northern New England and he thinks we'll get the arch for the event along with product support.

Brian

Brian Beihl

In the meantime, I'll get one of those wheel measuring thingies and figure out precisely how long the course is for each event. Sorry, I'm a broad stroke kinda guy.

Brian

Brian Beihl

Mig:

Lights are no problem. The fire department has all we need and that can be taken care of in a few phone calls. How late would you race, though? I have neighbors to keep happy. We'd have to start and 5 and go to 9 maybe. I think I could sell that.

Brian

Brian Beihl

Pat & Joe: Can the dual lane issue be addressed? We can fix everything you mentioned, Pat, except perhaps the dual lane. Joe & Glen chose to do it this way for safety reasons, making sure we had the best racers going dual on what is a slightly narrow course. Extending the race time is no problem, if...

Brian Beihl

Joe: While Intergalatic Skateboard Race of Death would be an interesting name for a skateboard race in a small town in rural New Hampshire, I would propose something more mundane like the "Old Gold Jug East Coast Championships." Seriously, though, can we/should we just call our event an East Coast C...

Brian Beihl

Hello from cold, snowy New Hampshire: It hardly seem possible that we're planning the Race for the Old Gold Jug already. We've just submitted the sanctioning papers, scheduling the race and festival for September 19, 20 & 21, 2008 I'll should have registration up at NCDSA by the end of the week. One...

Hi, Wes: I just sent in the sanction app to Pat for Antrim's Race for the Old Gold Jug, asking for Main status. We expanded the race to a two-day race, and last year's crowd was about 2500 for the Saturday main event, prize money has been increased and the racers are having a good experience here. W...

Hi, Antrim Skaters: Just a note to thank you for coming to Antrim again this year. The weather was fantastic, the crowd happy, and hill fast! What more could you ask for? OK, so you want more money, a rope tow up the hill and a suite at the Maplehurst. And Kurt wants more women. We're working on all...

Hi, Tim: Congratulations on the new race. I'm hardly an expert, but I'll try and help in any way I can. To start with, did you want to borrow our ramps? They're mongo and would need a good size flatbed or equipment trailer to move, but they are available provided they're well cared for. I'll try to ...
