ISSA - International Slalom Skateboarding Association

Adams Morgan festival is the weekend of Sept. 10-12.

Friday Sept.10th is a big party at a historical mansion for all the riders and festival sponsors
Saturday Sept. 11th is race day
Sunday Sept. 12th is the main festival day. 18th Street shut down for 10 blocks. Food, music and 75,000 people.
We could probably do something skate-related on Sunday as well.

Leathers aren't mandatory but full-face helmets are a must. The riders who ate it last year were glad they were wearing leathers though. I know, I was one of them.

I think adams morgan day is the first weekend of september if i remember what anthony was telling me of past events. Anthony, Me and danny and probably jimmy even would be interested in racing in the downhill race. Can we do it? We got the cujones but what we dont got is leathers and im the only with a fullface but i think danny can get something since hes getting paid now. Help?

Anthony,

Forgive my ignorance. When is A Mo day again?

Allright cone-people, who's up for a race on Adams Morgan day? We were planning a small event this year, much like last years race. I'm just not into the effort that it takes to make it world class. That changed today when I received a call from someone affiliated with a major internet provider, who wants to sponsor the race in a big way. I'm not even working with them unless we get a sh!tload of prize money.

Of course we're having downhill and probably a slide contest (farthest, most stylish) and maybe even a "skate jump" if I can get Daryl Freeman to come. He hits punk ramps at 30mph+ with skyhooks and travels a looooooong way. Crowd pleaser I'm sure.
Obviously, we'd want slalom in there also. Any local organizers interested, let me know. We meet with the sponsor on the 19th.

Yeah i saw that, it was a good documentary.

if you find a place online that sells the 70s reissue alva boards still then you can see a pic. Sorry. I got the leopard print one. If you watch dogtown and z boys you can see a pic of the original a few times.

You have an alva board? anywhere i could see a picture?

hey any of you guys wanna skip work and skate vans with me tomorrow? Ill be at the 10 or 12 or both sessions. I gotta test out my alva board in the big bowl. I have the hankerin for some park skating after so much longboarding and then watching animal chin one too many times.

I'll be there if doesn't rain like the 12 other times we've tried to ride there on a Friday night.

Walker session on friday night? Nine-ish?

There were plans of myself and Anthony Smallwood to skate a parade and watch the fireworks display on the Mall. I’m feeling ill, so won’t be able to make it, but if anyone wants to join Anthony and crew, give him a call.


Anthony, if you see this after the fact, I apologize, but your phone message box was full.

See you next time then, AnthonyF.


We had transportation back up the hill today. It's "the only way to fly”.

Yeah, so it's 3-5 at Oakwood. We are crazy mofos.

I'll probably chill out / give rides back up the hill until 4 and then ride through the early evening. I hate this weather. I totally dig 36°f compared to it.

Oakwood 3pm - 5pm.

edit: crap none of us are going sorry guys. ill have to ride oakwood another day with ya.

I have family from Kansas City coming. I'll see what I can do.

Ill talk to my people and see. Can we celebrate our independance by lighting the road on fire and bombing through it? I really want to do that like sergio did in flow except he slid through first to ignite it and hes a beast.....I hope i dont have to go anywhere like a bbq or anything but ill call danny and jimmy and see if they are up for it. I still havent had my board come from Jeff yet but ill set up my tahoe for downhill.

Dr. No, WesE and myself are celebrating our independence by having a downhill session at Van Dorn (Oakwood) this Saturday, probably late afternoon. Maybe even an impromptu competition.

Come join us!
Tell your friends!

Yeah, I just got up. I'm on the nightlife schedule this weekend. Lot's of good DJ's and bands in town, sorry.

2 to 4 will work. 11 is way way too early for Slappy to even think about!

I can skate whenever. 2 to 4 is good too. Jeff? Slappy?

Eleven AM will be too early for me today. I might be able to skate 2-4pm though.


Bozi, the race is next Sat, June 26.

JEFF & KMG, I got the replacement wheels from Dan.

I thought there was a DC Outlaw race for tomm, sat the 19?

Yes, no, Maybe so?

If yes, Ill see you guys there, if not Ill ship wheel owed each of you.

Jeff

Jeff, saturday is ok to skate.

Maybe around 11am ?

I got to Walker at nine and it had just fiinished raining. Can we skate at walker or is there too many cars in the parking lot on Saturday? Oakwood looks a little scary to me.

I suck as a meterologist. It started raining right after I posted.

Washed out.

Who is up for a saturday session?

Boswell, I need to get those wheels to you.

8:15 no rain at Walker. It may pass over.

My wife said it was raining in Springfield when she went thru at 5:30 and it looks to me like more's on it's way.

Is it raining at Walker yet?

I was thinking 8:30 or 9:00. It looks like it's going to be very hot.

Walker, Friday night, weather looks nice for slalom alright.

What time?

Friday nights alright with me.

I'll be there if it doesn't rain.

Walker Friday night? Just a thought.

Thats me alright. Cherry Picker Elite. If Kenny thinks I'm pickin then he should show up and make it a real race. And you too Michael.

See you there at 5, Mike. Anthony will too.

Anyone else? Be there.

Oakwood 5pm

What time?? I'll be on the road so could someone call me if it goes down. 202-607-1495.

Oakwood.

Sunday session?

Oakwood or Walker?

I'll be there on Sunday. I'll be going to La Costa to race GS and hopefully rap with some Signal Hill legends. Maybe even get some waves. Also going up north to hit GMR and Baldy. Anyone sticking around after the weekend?

TK, you never know where I will show up.

Kenny says you and Noah will be carrying the torch while standing on top of a cherry picker.

Looks like no skating tonight, heavy rain heading our way!!

I'll try to make it Friday night.

Ohm, why not go to the Gorge games with me and Noah next month. Hood river will be off the hook.

Anyone else going from the north east or do me and Noah have to carry the torch?

8pm Walker Friday Nite

I'll take. What time?

Walker sounds good to me.

Friday Night @ Walker. Any takers?

Fine, 6pm Sunday it is. I might even be there by 5pm. Less traffic on the roads while driving there.


Anthony, what about you?
