Curt,
This is the race I told you about last summer when we were discussing "software" issues. If you want to travel a little immediately, we are sessioning at Hobby Park in Winston Salem on October 15. Talk to Parsons or John Dillon for a review of this hill. It is, to say the least, incredible. It's probably a five-hour drive for you. This is the Giant Slalom hill we'll be racing on Sunday, November 6.
Oh, and anyone else is certainly invited to ride. No one has yet to call on a full-on Downhillbillie Jam that Saturday, but it looks like a crew is showing up to ride. Some of the North Carolina crowd, a few from Georgia and anyone else within the sound of my voice who can make it.

Racing
Curt, the next race is in Statesville, NC. Should be a nice turnout of good racers. Look under the Down South thread for details.
If you want some practice time I am sure we can put together a little session to shake off the cobwebs.

Hello!
Hey Slap,
Was it your wedding?
I was down at the Mall & yea there were a bunch of protesters but not as many as several years ago...the media blew it up....I did see US Park Police tackle one dude on a skateboard...there is no Freedom in Freedom Plaza. His ticket was for 'skeeterboarding'...that's what it said on the ticket....I saw him and he wasn't skateboarding...he rolled into the park and immediately started talking to a homeless person. I was on my slalom board. The band Le Tigre rocked the best....they finished at 1am...they sounded like a cross between Kraftwerk and DEVO but w/ Polystyrene vocals.

Wedding was in Va Beach. Just got back.Vlad Popov wrote:Jeff, come back! We have a timer!
We just ran 40x5.5ft with Ohm and had a couple of beers. I'll post a video for you a little later. There's a race in VT next week, and Ohm says - TS and Hybrid (!)
Slappy, are you protesting in DC, or are still at the wedding?
I'm in for a session this weekend.

I see Y’all started to session again, I guess you feel it’s safe knowing I’m not around. Well hell, maybe I’ll just stay here in the Volunteer State. My brother-in-law might be able to give me a job on his logging crew. The hell with Y’all. Maybe the Downhill Billies will take me in. there only four or five hours away from here.

Hello!
Soon, I will be able to skate w/you all on those fri eve sessions instead of just once in a blue moon. When I start the new job I'll have Fri and Sat off! Just dont schedule any races for Sunday as I will have to work then. Ohm dont forget about Sat Oct 29th:Lansdowne....a diff course will be set, and if we have enough time we could set the old course too for fun.You must wear your costume, though to race...but, not necessarily the same one you wear for the costume contest...2 diff contests...Vlad, you'd win the JG look-a-like contest for sure! I may dress up as lbk chasing his 2 kids.

Wes,
is it a rhetorical question?
I got paid today, and I can now buy one of these timers AND get a full tank of gas.

Mike, I sold my wireless timer and am getting a wired one. As soon as they build it.
J-Rad, of course there are no excuses! Do you know how much is it to spread the 2-m TS in Paris a bit? Our guy never won that one, and it's about time.
Mike, this week.
J-Rad, I'm leaving for a travel agency as I type. Find that quote for me, would you...
Jeff, thanks, the beltsander is adjusted. The result is stunning; we will have new bushings soon.

I should have more time to skate soon. A new Trakkmate with a beep-beep-beep-BEEEEEEP is being ordered. I don't like skating without a timer anymore.
Have a nice vacation.

Slalom...
on Eisenhower at that site is a good choice. That was where I was going to hold a longboard jam session...it's a cool site. You are talking about the tall white bldg down the road from UPS, aren't you, Slappy? The lot is sloped as well.
