Hey if anybody is heading up from DC can I catch a ride? Im in Bel Air and I can meet you right at the I-95 Exit. I am more than willing to help with gas and all the tolls. So if anybody can help let me know.

Thanks!! Colin T.

Hey DC slackers - please head north on the 23rd for the first race of the 2006 Farm Outlaw series. Specific info will be posted soon.

Is it really dead?

Get on it. See you next Sunday.

Wesley Tucker · Post by **Wesley Tucker** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 3:00 pm

You Outlaws need to check your calendar and gas tank and head on down to Winston Salem in two weeks. Stop complaining about the death of DC slalom and hit the road. I got an e-mail from BP who said he can't make it because April 22nd is the weekend he and the lovely missus are going to Jamaica. Sometimes, life is just too hard.

It's about five hours from most points in NoVa. We have a primo spot. Imagine the P&R only twice as long, wider and better ashpalt. Check out the Contest Calendar, get in your cars, quit moaning and start racing!

Oh, we're gonna have a Longboard Slalom race, too. How long since that happened in DC? Tell LBK to be there or be elsewhere.

Well, in all seriousness, Aaron's post made me realize somthing.

Ga. Tom's race in Dublin, Georgia is Sunday, January 15th. Sunday is kind of a bummer because it means you have to travel Sunday night to get home in time for work and school . . .

EXCEPT

Monday, January 16th is MARTIN LUTHER KING'S BIRTHDAY. That means it's a holiday. You can stay over Sunday night in Dublin or Savannah or Atlanta or wherever and drive home Monday.

C'mon down. It's an Outlaw Race, but The King Of Georgia is getting swag for prizes and the course and venue are absolutely PRIMO. The weather promises to be fabulous and warm and the only drawback is, well, it's a few hundred miles away.

But you know you're not getting any sympathy OUT OF ME for that excuse!

HAd a good fountainhead session today and had 6 people and a great video of a crash.

The one closest to the camera, Nick, got a pretty bad cut on his knee and Chris, the first one to crash just had some road rash.

Anthony Smallwood · Post by **Anthony Smallwood** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 3:32 am

Ohm, how was Fountainhead?? I tried to get Dupin to head down but he wanted to hit Rock Creek. Unwisely, we took off from the top without giving it a look, passed a jogger who looked horrified and pointed down the hill, knew it couldn't be good, and yep, water and ice at the first turn. I left a leather body imprint on the road and watched as Doug made the first section by hugging the curb, then slamming hard before the ice covered bridge.
Moving slow today. I must say, the view at the take-off almost made it worth it.

Is it spring yet??

Anthony Smallwood · Post by **Anthony Smallwood** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 8:41 pm

JD, glad you had fun on your birthday. That really was a cool party.

Flis, you guys are definitely FC worthy. Sounds like good skate music. Uh, but you guys lose a bunch of credibility if your parents won't even let you play gigs. LIE TO THEM!!! Tell them it's something at school......just kidding, don't lie to your folks. PERSUADE THEM!! All parents are invited. Just don't tell them we're drinking Absinthe.

We'll have an outlaw downhill in January. I'm pushing to make a race in Brazil on Jan 15th. Maybe the week before that.

Anthony Flis · Post by **Anthony Flis** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 7:07 pm

If you guys want to hear a rough mix of a song thats coming off our demo check us out at www.myspace.com/melodicequinox I want to play fightclub so badly and so does my bassist but my two guitarist are a little sketched about our parents letting us do it (mine would be cool with it as long as they come) and Tim didnt know about the crowd but they dont know all you fools the way I do so I will widdle em down oh yes i will...

If it's not rescheduled then maybe just maybe after the holidays are done and everyones sobered up enough we'll throw something at fountainhead to get everyones blood above freezing again doesnt have to be backwoods blast we could call it whatever we want but I mean we gotta throw something down there while the hill is open and calling our wheels. I WANNA SEE WHO ENDS UP IN THE WATER!

John Dillon · Post by **John Dillon** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 6:40 pm

Wow, the best birthday bash I've encountered. People from everywhere including Olson & O'Shei......downhillers, slalom enthusiasts,skatepark activists, DC Outlaws, Newschoolers, Old schoolers, pool skaters, street skaters, longboarders and shortboarders, good beer drinkers and straight-edgers.....even Ian MacKaye showed up..........cool art by Olson, rad Fight Club bowl session, impromptu awesome flatland trick session....every trick in the book was thrown by the diverse skate crowd...a lot of fun was displayed....lots of new inductees into Team Fun...t'was great skating w/you all. Thanks Dan & Alleykat for putting it on.....thanks to those who contributed to the Surfrider Foundation fundraising efforts....thanks WesE for coming out as well. People were dizzy watching John O spin all those 360s...also nice Ho-Ho's by Ben H and Jason(G.Biersch). I had the best time, especially the street session w/the spinning keg. Nice idea, Ashworth! Lots of great memories, plus THE POINTS playing live....awesome tunes!! Flis, we've got to book you @ Fight Club next time! It's snowing outside again.....Peace!

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 2:57 pm

Sorry, no plans for rescheduling the Backwoods Blast for this year. Although, this Saturday may be a good time to session the hill anyway. All depends on the weather again. If there is no snow today or Friday then I say we session around 11am.

ANybody?

Anthony Smallwood · Post by **Anthony Smallwood** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 1:46 am

Sorry for the delay Flis. It's been a long weekend. With Olson and O'Shei around, M-T-W counts as the weekend. Ouch!!

Party was a blast. All the regular fools, plus a few others.
Spontaneous flatland session ruled with Dillon slaying the crowd with stylish daffies. Jaime's floor roll was a crowd pleaser as well as O'Shei's 15 rotation 360's

Advice: If anyone offers you real Absinthe, take a pass

I'm not sure when we'll try to have a race. I'll follow Ohm's lead

How was the show?? You guys kick ass??

Anthony Flis · Post by **Anthony Flis** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 2:08 am

Hey I have two questions:1) how was the party? awsome I take it? and 2) are you gonna reschedule fountainhead?

Anthony Smallwood · Post by **Anthony Smallwood** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 8:08 pm

WesE, you coming to DC saturday nite??

Anthony Smallwood · Post by **Anthony Smallwood** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 6:31 pm

Ahh, total bummer. If the slalom is cancelled, the downhill is also. We'll try again soon.

Fight Club party is still on. Olson and O'Shei are coming out on the red-eye tonite. Come join in the festivities.

Sounds good. I'll try to make it out there by then.
I'll bring my leaf blower too, just in case.
See you tomorrow!

Marion Karr · Post by **Marion Karr** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 5:01 pm

Jim,
We are looking to try to get there by 10 am or so. We will have to do some leaf blowing and sweeping. Ride on over and ride with us! HOpe to see you there.

Jim Mather · Post by **Jim Mather** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 4:41 pm

When do you think you'll be at Hobby Park?

Marion Karr · Post by **Marion Karr** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 4:25 pm

Mike,
Get in the car and drive on down! We can run Hobby tomorrow and we have the timing system with us. Anyone else come on down!

That Mother Nature Chic can be a pain some time!

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 3:51 pm

Regretably the DC Outlaw Race will be canceled for Saturday Dec 10th.

Mother Nature just had her way with us. No way that the hill will dry by tomorrow.

Marion Karr · Post by **Marion Karr** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 3:32 pm

The DHB/GASS contingency has regretfully decided NOT to make the trip to DC based on the potential that the Fountain Head course may not be clear by tomorrow. We will look toward getting up with you guys at another DC session later in the Winter.

Also, any of you that want to come down and ride with us are welcome! We will be looking to do a Jam in January. Date to be determined next week.

Hope you guys get to ride. Talk to you soon.

Weather Report For Sk8sville, North Carolina:

WORLD DHB Headquarters is reporting things better than expected. The ice that was all around last night is melting fast and roads are wet but clear. Idiots in Charlotte are still piling cars up like stacks of wood but that is the way they Roll down there. Should be a good drive into Sk8sville from the South.

We should be able to ride tonight at Camperworld if we don't decide to risk the trip to DC.

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 1:00 pm

Maybe 2" of snow with some sleet and freezing rain. 7am pretty much stopped at this point.

Will the hill will be clear by tomorrow????? TRAVEL AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!

I am not sure if they plow the back hills since the gate is closed.

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 5:48 am

Tonight (Thursday): Periods of snow, mixing with freezing rain after 4am. Low near 23. East wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.

Friday: Periods of snow, freezing rain and sleet before 9am, then a chance of snow between 9am and noon. High around 34. North wind 7 to 10 mph increasing to between 15 and 18 mph. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.

Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 19. Northwest wind between 6 and 9 mph becoming calm.

Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high around 41. Calm wind.

Danny,
If weather cooperates and this happens, go ahead and bring your project. Let's also see some other variables added, such as the trajectory that Smallwood needs to clear the river bank.

North Carolina Weather Update from DHB World Headquarters in Sk8sville:

Dudes, for those of you traveling here from Georgia or South Carolina tomorrow, come later in the day than you planned. It is now 9:45 pm and looking out my window down on to the streets of Beautiful Downtown Sk8sville (yes, I am still at the office) I am observing FREEZING FREAKIN RAIN! (Gawd, I hate that crap!)....All the idiots in Charlotte can NOT Freakin drive! Seriously! Every time it just rains, not freezes, I-77 becomes a war zone...add ice and its ROLLER BALL ALLEY.

Look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow.

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 11:45 pm

Snow, Ice, Sleet, Rain, one of these are definate. As far as accumulation and the possibility of a clear hill cannot be estimated at this time. I will post a Friday AM damage report but probably won't see the hill until Saturday AM.

WesT and friends I don't know what to tell you. If we can we will skate.

Danny Crawford · Post by **Danny Crawford** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 12:12 am

Hey, I'm doing a science fair project on how fast different tucks are so would it be alright if I set up a speed trap with chalk near the bottom of the hill so I can get speeds?

Oh, and anybody wanna run the course for me in the different tucks? You just have to go down the hill off a plastic ramp in the tuck.

Daryl Madden · Post by **Daryl Madden** » Wed Dec 07, 2005 9:01 pm

hope the weather doesn't screw this up.

Marty Schaub · Post by **Marty Schaub** » Wed Dec 07, 2005 1:26 pm

Friday - Chance of AM snow ahowers, high of 40.

Saturday - Sunny, high of 40.....

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Wed Dec 07, 2005 1:24 pm

Wes Tucker, hope to be skating by 10am. I will get there early to sweep and set the course. BP is bringing the timer. Sleep in, leave Fredericksburg by 9am.

I will try and check the hill today. Weak chance for snow on friday. Bring it.

Wesley Tucker · Post by **Wesley Tucker** » Wed Dec 07, 2005 1:34 am

Ohmster,

What time?

At the P&R it's usually 10:00. You planning on the same or something earlier? Let us know so we know when to hit the road from F'burg.

Wesley Tucker · Post by **Wesley Tucker** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 8:32 pm

Ohm,

IF we come (depends on the weather FRIDAY NIGHT, not necessarily Saturday) my cones and leaf blower will be in the truck.

Hell, I'll probably load the sofa, a recliner and a couple of end tables just so I'm comfortable.

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 8:26 pm

Did a check this weekend on the hill. Had to rake an S-Load of leaves. Not a soul in sight but a few mountain bikers. Bust factor is minimal.

Snow is falling now but will be gone by Saturday. Thursday I will make the call for the travelers but the forecast is sunny and mid thirties.

Jeff Bos, call me. I need to use your cones if you are not coming.

Brian Gilbert · Post by **Brian Gilbert** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 7:50 am

Gilbert

Anthony Smallwood · Post by **Anthony Smallwood** » Thu Dec 01, 2005 6:53 pm

Cabbage, running the downhill in the rain would be asking for it. You don't want to come out of your line. You'd be better off just standing on the guardrail and diving out into the water. Save your bearings from getting wet and avoid the possibility of t-boning one of the many thick posts on your way down.
But I like the way you think.

Gilbert, Olson will be in town Dec 7-10. I'm sure we'll have a few Fight Club sessions. Party is 8pm til ????

Brian Gilbert · Post by **Brian Gilbert** » Thu Dec 01, 2005 6:41 pm

ok what time is the race and what is the art show? im work security for an early show at the ottobar in baltimore, so i may have to miss the race but i must meet olson, so what time do i have to be in D.C. let me know guys thanks.

Gilbert

10 day out forecast for the race. Wed, Thur, Fri. Cold & Clear, highs in the mid 40's. Sat Dec 10th, high 47 & partly cloudy. No rain....NO SNOW.

YEAH!!!!

Marty Schaub · Post by **Marty Schaub** » Thu Dec 01, 2005 3:04 am

Yeah,

But legend has it that Tom did it paralell that's why his lover dumped him. I hear that they also tied his feet together with the extra rope. Beware of Statesville WT.......

As I have said before, this angle at the Dixie Cup Pumpcone Fest is the coolest photo op! Love that old court house in the background! Mike you look cool riding there!

For you history/folk song buffs (if there are any), that court house location (different building) was the site of the trial of Tom Dula (pronounced Dooley) that was immortalized in the folk song "Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley" by the Kingston Trio. The trial was moved from Wilkes County north of Statesville to here because of pre-trial publicity. In 1868 Tom Dula was found quilty of killing his former lover and was hanged on Depot Hill in Statesville (the site where we had the Dixie Cup Saturday Night's awards party!). Our Saturday race was at the site he was tried and the party that night was where the gallows sat for his hanging! Welcome to Historic Downtown Statesville!

See you guys on the 10th.
