Gravesend it may be, but this is a new beginning for the Cyclopark track in Kent.

Now Cyclopark are 99% certain that we'll have first usage of the skatepark. Very close indeed. Hoping to hear about the 1% on Friday 24th February.

Apparently this museum bridges the interest gap for boys from aged six to eleven:

If there were sites like this in the seventies, we'd've never got into skateboards.

Ordeal? We could just run the gauntlet uphill without a skateboard:

Just the ONE hundred cones, Jonathan?

The bridge in the picture at the top can be seen in this aerial view, centre top third (LHS of circuit). We have enough track to make you dizzy.
Now, if only we could angle it a bit further...

The Euros have often been run on a shoestring, think Switzerland and Amsterdam for example. From a UK perspective, we have found the Czech races to be some of the more consistently organised and enthusiastically run. One of the key factors to a successful event is not so much the ephemera around the...

Would it be sensible to run Liberec as the Euros/ Worlds? What do the organisers think?

Hi Robert, I signed in through the Slalomranking section and then registered for my own races as a test. It seemed to work. Don't know whether I'll turn up to them though.

Good work, gents.

As a matter of interest, how does the banner sponsor at the top of the page vary from the monthly site sponsor, and on what terms is it held?

Sam Gordon

June or July please, whichever is not taken! The former is probably best. Paypal is with you know. Can we please link to: http://www.ukslalomskateboarding.org.uk/ http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7162/6514952985_39834c85bc.jpg Nigel, we need more black on the left hand side of the logo!!! Thanks JBH Sam

Thanks Dalibor, impressive racing in the Giant Slalom! It was great to have the Slalom Gang Bang Team over in the UK, especially after we have enjoyed such hospitality and well organised events in the Czech Republic. Here are a few pictures from the weekend: http://www.flickr.com/photos/samg/sets/72...

Given the high volume of racers entered for the BOSC and the time limits imposed on us by Redbridge Council, we will endeavour to run an A and B group of sixteen racers in each class for the Hybrid. If time is pressed then the group sizes will be broken down to one group of sixteen and one group of ...

Thanks Jani.

Would it be possible that as site sponsor, we could have a link to the UKSSA with the graphic above as discussed? There seem to be various graphic sponsor links floating around the site. We'd love to be amongst them, if only for a month! Link here: http://www.ukslalomskateboarding.com/ Graphic here:...

I do care about the ranking. Corky's not inconsiderable effort is a fine historical document of our sport over the last decade. Think how we like to look back at the names and pictures in old skate magazines. This is a comparable reference. Most of us know that we are not in the ranked position that...

Hi Donald, Any of Ella's or Kathrin's decks coming over to Hog Hill to tempt the UK riders? http://www.pavel-skates.com/cms/images/stories/Boards-Slalom/sehl.jpg http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/180124_10150108322454521_510589520_6070132_1695818_n.jpg http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hph...

Sam Gordon

Agree with Rob; great work.
Don't forget your site sponsors!

Sam Gordon

Could we possibly update the monthly site sponsor in order to keep certain parties happy? I know that when the UKSSA's turn comes around, we want to be featured from 12:01 am on July 1 onwards. You can forget about updating after that!

Thank you,

Sam

Sam Gordon

I'm all for that!
Maybe for July we try the white background version?

Or even the hotsexy high octane version:

Very sorry to hear this sad news. Gints' race times were always a measure that I would try to approach. Competition is most exciting when times are close.

Hi Robert, Unfortunately this competition will not now go ahead. The event organiser realised that in order to make it work to the best of his capacity, there would have to be much more preparation given the volume of different sports organisations and styles of display involved. The April revised d...

Damn those Czechs! Actually, the CZ team put on the best and most organised races of the year, so let's do nothing to hinder their good work. Both Hradek Kralove and Policka are memorable for all of the right reasons. The guys step up to the mark every time and add value to every event. In reality, ...

Having lost quite a bit of money last year in hosting a race where just one International made an appearance, would it be at all possible that no high-rated sanctions are handed-out in the weeks surrounding the UK event? We have, after all, booked the time, paid for the hills, insurance and camping ...

No worries Pat; that seemed very straight forward.

Please put the UKSSA down for July 2011 sponsorship with a link to the Association Website at:
