Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 8:33 pm

Yes, I'm putting my $100, $200 or $300 up for grabs in a TS comp (straight and special), depending on who's gonna show up. Location TBA. The Whitehouse or the racetrack.

F1 weekend for you?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 8:28 pm

No chance of me showing up sunday and it is slim for tomorrow...but then again I'm just me.

Next weekend though...would be cool.

Vlad are you actually doing anyting for the "Universe Championships" on the 26th?

Sunday looks like a good day to kick your ass. I'm in.

Is that picture of Vlad real and current. That looks like it may have hurt.

Looks like normal DC Outlaw weekends are back. Rain...

Rain up until around 4pm.

Can I get a show of hands for the race to be moved to Sunday. Or would you guys rather reschedule for Saturday the 20th?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 5:41 pm

could we get a confirmation on racing tomorrow and what time all the fun begins?

70% chance of rain is not nice...if that is true I doubt I'm driving down...BUT just incase...

I just checked weather.com and it said AM rain....I'd be up for a night race like last summer...I like racing under lights. I gotta be home in NYC though by 7am....it's a F1 weekend...Monza for that matter.....

Just in case you all might want to know I broke my arm last night! I fell early on in the session but did't think it was that bad. Skated another hour or so Had a GREAT time the best session ever(getting much faster). After I got home and it started hurting like hell .turned out I fractured my radius head in my left elbow. See ya

Jefferson Airplane? Careful Tway, I heard there was some bad acid going around. T

I would love to come but will be down south in New Orleans training for the Worlds by eating oysters and crawfish at Acme.

Byrdman,

I will be in Biloxi Sat. night for a Jefferson Airplane concert. If you can make it down, I'll score you a ticket.

DC Crew, I look forward to a winter series starting real soon. Have fun. Go Parsons!

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Wed Sep 10, 2003 6:10 am

Vlad, Only pink tights are allowed. Inline skates aren’t, but it’s OK to run their wheels on your board. I’ll be wanting to know where you’re moving to, BTW.

Troy, it will probably be 10am for longboard and noon for open slalom, at the Gaithersburg Park & Ride lot, on Quince Orchard Rd. I can’t tell you exactly how to get there, but Chris Stepanek could.

Troy Smart · Post by **Troy Smart** » Wed Sep 10, 2003 4:05 am

I'd like to come.
Where and when?

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Wed Sep 10, 2003 12:43 am

I heard Lisa, Ilva and Gilmour were coming.

9000!

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Wed Sep 10, 2003 12:38 am

As it stands now i will be driving down saturday mornng..Noah is on his honeymoon and I doubt I can drag tway.....

flying solo!

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Tue Sep 09, 2003 11:00 pm

Are bike helmets, tights and inline skates allowed at the DC slalom races?

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Tue Sep 09, 2003 8:54 pm

<center>Attention outtastaters!</center>

If the weather’s good and the DC Summer FINAL Outlaw Race is still on, come in town Friday night. We have some space for you. I’m moving soon, but there’s still some space at my place. Camping in the backyard is aslo an option. I have a kingsize-bed tent. Slappy can also accommodate a couple of people. He’s 5 minutes away from my place.

Chris, Noah, Lisa, Ilva, Gilmour, others?

Eric Wallgren · Post by **Eric Wallgren** » Sun Aug 17, 2003 5:33 pm

I drove through some hella big storms on the way home, so I hope the A bracket finished up dry. I had the most fun day of racing ever. After following Brian Parsons for a couple of runs, and aping his toeside pump, I finally saw good accelleration in the top of the course, which has always been my weakness (one of my many, rather). Before, I could gyrate, but never had a "GS" style pump.
The crowd was lacking a few of the regulars, so with 2 brackets of 7, I was relegated to the B group, with a bye in the first run. I made up 1.5 seconds on Davmo after having DQ'd on cones in our first match to advance to race slappy for the B final. I ended up ahead by .04 seconds going to the final final, jumped the start, then started "conservatively" not wanting to DQ (penalty for 2 consecutive false starts) and slappy was out of ther box first. He had 2 cones on me by mid course, so I cruised in on auto pilot. Winning time was a second slower than our previous round, so in retrospect, I should have attacked all the way down and tried to saty close in case he fell or blew out. Lesson? never stop racing.
Big thanks to Brian P., Yvonne Gamble, and all the dedicated DC outlaws, the nicest group one can possibly spend time with.
BTW. If you ever think Mike and Brian will be slow the next day because you last see them at a punk show at 1 am guzzling beer the night before a race...Think again.

Rene Hayden · Post by **Rene Hayden** » Sun Aug 17, 2003 7:36 am

Hey all!

Thanks a lot for a great time--yet again. I had a lot of serious fun on the new deck, and thanks a mil to slappy and kmg for the trucks and wheels so I could practice proper slalom.

I'll wait for Brian's synopsis, but I have to say the racing was pretty exciting this time around. Hope the A bracket managed to finish before the storms got there.

Thanks Brian and all!

Aaron Morris · Post by **Aaron Morris** » Sat Aug 16, 2003 12:16 am

Brian is the race still on tomorrow, what time?

David Riordon · Post by **David Riordon** » Fri Aug 15, 2003 5:02 am

Damn it, looks like I'm going to be up at the NJ Big Skate w/ Johnny Rad Boy Dillon. Maybe I should swing on by and give Chris a hand cutting the lawn.

Brian, you must of hit some wrong keys when you typed my name.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Aug 14, 2003 6:41 pm

Parsons.....You'd better hope Noah doesn't manage to drag my unmotivated ass down to DC this saturday.........

:razz:

Seriously...it's 50/50 for me. I might spend the day with my lovely wife running errands.....

DC Summer Outlaw Series Race #3

Another DC Summer series outlaw race is scheduled this weekend at the P&R is Gaithersburg. Like usual about a 30% chance of rain.

Long board practice will start at 10am sharp, racing at 10:45. Traditional slalom practice will start at noon.

I want to throw something different at you guys this weekend I just haven’t figured out what it will be.

If anyone needs directions send me an email. I am expecting a large group this weekend so everyone should be ready for some major competition. WesE is hungry for some respect. Look for him to be driving for a podium finish. Noah and UR13 are hopefully making the trip down. Ohm is always a threat. LBK, GeezerX and PADan are always looking to break to top three. KMG has finished well is every race and is third in the points. Since some of the top guys have missed one of the last two races the point’s game is close. No one yet has a lock on the series. LBK’s respectable finished in the last two races has him currently holding down the top spot in open slalom.

Vlad is away this weekend racing in Moscow so Noah is clearly the favorite followed by UR13 and Ohm.

Points Standings:
Longboard:
1.Vlad Popov 200
2.Brian Parsons 165
3.Kevin Gamble 140
4.Eric Wallgren 134
5.Dave Riordon 133
6.Kyle Bozi 109
7.Jeff Bozi 106
8.Dan Mitchell 87
9.Cabbage 78
10.WesE 65

Open Slalom - A Class
1.Dave Riordon 149
2.WesE 140
3.Kevin Gamble 131
4.Eric W 130
5.Vlad Popov 100
5.Brian Parsons 100
7.Noah Heinle 87
8.Mike Ohm 78
8.Dan Mitchell 78

Open Slalom - B Class
1.Slappy Maxwell 200
2.Kyle Bozi 155
3.Jeff Bozi 131
4.Jeff Boswell 130

hellow everyone,

I am now the proud manufacturer of my very own 30" x 8.25" x 5/8" slalom deck, (20-18" variable wheelbase) thanks to slappy's very very kind loan of some indys, and engineering tips from Plankk-R and WesE. Thank you v. much Wes, Slappy and Vlad!

The question is--the forecast for this weekend is good. Will there be an outlaw race, or am I dreaming that the 16th is the next race?

Going to go practice with my beer cups now,

cheers,

Rene.

Wesley Tucker · Post by **Wesley Tucker** » Sun Jul 13, 2003 5:00 am

A meaningful life? I thought Curt was some kind of an engineer? :razz:

Dan Mitchell · Post by **Dan Mitchell** » Sun Jul 13, 2003 3:16 am

Wes,
Apparently, unlike most of us, Curt actually leads a meaningful life, which means he can't always make the races. Good for me, since he and some of the other really fast guys weren't there today, and despite my severely lacking practice, i managed a 2nd and a 3rd.

Brian will be posting full results soon.

Oh yeah, I rode a G&S Pintail and a BOZI with 3dm wheels in the longboard race and a Turner GS/H with a Seismic and a Chicken offset and Abec 11 wheels in the Slalom.
In case you were wondering

Well, did Curt quit coming? Or is everybody faster than him this year?

Seems kind of strange I haven't seen or heard his name mentioned at all this year in regards to slalom.

William Tway · Post by **William Tway** » Sat Jul 12, 2003 2:49 am

I have a feeling Slappy's gonna kick some ass. Beware.

Terry Kirby · Post by **Terry Kirby** » Sat Jul 12, 2003 2:43 am

Mentally Wes is one of the strongest racers in the east. The guy simply does not rattle. Because of this he causes faster racers to panic when they must meet him head to head.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sat Jul 12, 2003 2:38 am

I'm going to have to pass this weekend for a race in DC. I'll be spending some quality time on the couch with my wife doing my best NOT to drive anywhere.

Oh ya....WesE is taking all you guys DOWN!!!!

:razz:

See some of you at Da Farm and the rest on Aug. 16th.

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Fri Jul 11, 2003 8:26 pm

The New Yorkers (NJ included) might not make it to the race tomorrow. Most likely I will race the LBK PlankkR in a longboard race and try to set 100 cones at 5 or so feet on one of the hills before 10. I gotta split early.

How about Mike and Brian in the finals? Or maybe Wes?

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Fri Jul 11, 2003 4:20 pm

Outlaw race is ON in DC this weekend at the Park and Ride in Gaithersburg.

Longboard slalom practice will start at 10am.

Expect a format simmilar to the last race.

Box start.

Expect the course to be a little more hybrid. Just trying to mix it up a bit.

Just so you know, I am racing tomorrow, so someone is going to have to step off the podium to make room.

If anyone needs directions drop me an email.

Henry Julier · Post by **Henry Julier** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:56 am

Hey shiznats-

I'll be in Alexandria this weekend visiting a friend. She has an SAT Saturday morning and would like to see me slalom when she gets done.

How can I get to Gaithersburg? I am 3 miles from the nearest Metro stop. Tell me what to take and when. Somebody can pick me up, I'm trying to save my friend's parents from driving me. I'll pack my Mini Carrera. Let's make it happen.

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 1:29 am

Brian,

is the next Outlaw race this Saturday?
Same format as the last one?

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Wed Jun 11, 2003 8:12 pm

We did it. Thanks Slappy.

Someone has to have a picture of the Ohm Parsons shootout!

Slappy, thanks for the vote of confidence but I am a little out of Cheneys league. I will bury Kimball though! 2nd is not bad.

Slappy Maxwell · Post by **Slappy Maxwell** » Wed Jun 11, 2003 2:31 am

Don't forget this Saturday is the second contest of the Deathbox Mid-Atlantic Pool/Bowl Championship Series at Vans.

There was a great turnout for the first contest last weekend.

I wanna see Ohm tearing it up this time.

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Wed Jun 11, 2003 1:27 am

I'll upload them tomorrow and post links in the corresponding sub-forums. I don't have any pictures of you racing. Sorry.

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Wed Jun 11, 2003 1:21 am

Vlad, did you get any pics of me and others?

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Wed Jun 11, 2003 12:31 am

Congrats guys! The one (and only one) positive thing I brought back with me is the fact that it is the right coast that won this FCR race.

Back to the horsetruck to practice gate starts...

Vlad.

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Tue Jun 10, 2003 11:50 pm

Brian, racing you was definately the highlight of my three days of racing. I had to leave everything I had on the course to beat you. I loved the White course and knew if I could run as clean and fast as possible I might just do it. I just curled up in a ball at the top when we read the results. I didn't know I only hit one cone. I truly enjoy racing with you and against you. We both have some work to do though. I owe a few guys that are up on top and wouldn't mind if you helped me take em down. Thanks for bringing the best out in me. You are always a threat. Until the next Battle...you rule!

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Tue Jun 10, 2003 10:23 pm

The next Outlaw race is on the 21st. I know Ohm and myself have to do family duty this weekend to make up for our trip out west.

I am still on a Rocky mountian high. Can't wait to race again.

Ohm,you rule. But never again will I ever hit another cone.

For the record. Ohm beat me Sunday in Breck. I beat him to the line in both lanes but he beat me on cones. He schooled me on race strategy.
