Fountain Head AC/DC

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 step up to the plate and set an actual GS course.

If not, I'm sure the downhill will keep everybody busy. But it sure would be nice to have a repeat of the fun of Adams-Morgan days.

When is it? Is there Downhil and slalom?

It seems like it's on.
Is it going to be outlaw or legit?
Who's in charge here?
Are we pack racing? That might be a little crazy. Balls out, individual runs are heavy enough. Either way, good luck and let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

I'm going to hit it next week if anyone is interested.

Just to let you know I have some people coming from VA beach and that area and a guy coming from North Carolina too that saw my post on silverfish about this and they're psyched for it. This could be huge. Me and Danny and maybe even the guy from NorthCarolina are gonna go to fountainhead in febuary some time to scope it out since its been a year since weve been there and it would be nice to have some others there too. I want to get pictures to post for the silverfishers coming too cuz they want to see what theyre up for. I also emailed Jeff bozi about coming and Doug Dupin. If anyone has someone they think would want to come get the word out. I should get back to my research project now.

Way to step up, Anthony.

Anything I can do to help?

Alright since no one decided to propose a date for this adventure I will. Fountainhead opens on March 19 which is the third saturday in the month. I say we shoot for March 5 with March 12 as the rain date. What do you guys say? I got a good response from guys on silverfish about this who are just waiting for a date for me to tell em to plan ahead.

Does anyone have a date lets say next month to propose? I have many people that say they are interested in this and it could be a great way to really get the stoke of this area going. If by the next time i check here there is no date proposed ill go check a calendar and figure out what i have and propose one to all and see how it goes over.

hmmm i think i can find a full face, sounds good im down for eating sh*t goin really fast. hahahaha

I know some longboarders in the not too distant areas from silverfish that would be in too. Lets set a date. If we build it, they will come guys. I mean what else does everyone have that they would be doing? I want to race and have a good time and i dream of fountainhead so lets do it. If we do downhill everyone should bring at least full pads and a full face. Hittin that back hill without a full face is asking to get your brains knocked out your ears or eyes.

I think you need a certain code to communicate with these guys but you know how I feel about it.....tell me when

Ohm drew first blood on the idea, so Mike what's up?

Rene Hayden · Post by **Rene Hayden** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 3:55 am

okaaaay,

nobody get too excited about this, now.

Mr. Flis, I appreciate the feedback. Anybody else want to make this happen? If just me and Anthony race, that's fine, but I think Anthony would get a little bored of beating me.

watchall think? Doable? not doable? Interest? no interest?

do I need to break out the poll?

Rene

I like the idea. I think if this is gonna happen in march then someone should have started talking with park authorities like....before christmas? And you know that me, Danny and Jimmy will be down for some speedboarding and me and danny for slalom now that we both have some real set ups for running cones. The only concern i have is that fountainhead and the p&r are just really far away. Why not just have it at fountain head and run cones on every hill but the back hill where the speedboarding would be? I mean if theres gonna be speedboarding youd need to get some time on that hill and work up some confidence with that hill and that bridge and haybails too. Falling off that bridge would be a doosey.

I know this is a cross-post, but I thought I'd make it its own topic not related to any "Gathering" stuff.

what about having a low-key start-up Atlantic event in March at Fountainhead anyways as a warm-up to the Gathering--call it the Rathering or the Gaithering or Atlantic Convergence Downhill Classic (AC/DC) (or Atlantic Cones and Downhill Convergence) or "The Head" or something. If it's in March it won't conflict, and the DC scene could use a bit of slalom/downhill synergy, no?

If the GSL isn't bombed into oblivion by then, we could even make it an annual charity event for GSL or other worthy causes--rape relief, whatever--get some donated schwag and all entry fees to the org.

I don't know--we could start off with a one-day event geared towards good times--you could have beginner speedboard and GS runs a la Gaithersburg P&R in the morning with more serious racing later in the day? Maybe the beer fairy will show up with some 5 gals of homebrew action? I'd be willing to volunteer some time to make it happen.

Anyone know if this is feasible? Anthony? Ohm?
