Dedication Dedication Dedication, thats how I describe Brian Parsons.

Well, we finally got some cooperation from the weather, and had some good racing Saturday at the Park and Ride.

Brian P was still recovering from a bout with the flu, but showed up and did a great job. Thanks Brian. Hope you're feeling better.

Looking forward to the next race.

G-ASS? It's about time we have a real man's race in DC! I'm tired of wigling! See you at 10.

Posted: **Fri Jun 27, 2003 11:52 pm**

LBK you better be there! LBK posse

Posted: **Fri Jun 27, 2003 11:35 pm**

We will get everything started around 10am. So longboards at 10...traditional around 12-12:30.

Typical Outlaw rules. Course will be tightish. Vlad will call it GS. Wear your race face.

So what is the timeline for tomorrow for the DC outlaw...

what time does everything happen??????

Posted: **Wed Jun 25, 2003 4:33 pm**

Jeff, usually it is around 10-15 ft. I like to have enough room to get about 3 quick pushes to the first cone.

Try practicing going into cones set straight about 6ft on center. If you can make that then you will have no prblem on Saturday.

The course will be slightly more difficult than what you were riding on Sunday. Except the bottom section will be faster.

Posted: **Tue Jun 24, 2003 5:37 pm**

Brain, can tell me about how far the first cone will be from the leading edge of the starting box. I'm extremely weak in that department and need to practice badly. By the way, the movie that you made with my camera came out great, I got a kick out of it! Never saw myself skate before.

We’re going to try for 1pm. If the pavement looks like it won’t dry for awhile, then it’s a Vans park session.

Posted: **Sun Jun 22, 2003 4:30 pm**

TK, sorry I cannot make the Boston or Rye Airfield races. Going surfing. Family vacation. Pray for surf.

DC sunday....what time is the session today?

Posted: **Sun Jun 22, 2003 3:37 pm**

I hope all you DC tweakers are coming to Boston on the 4th and 5TH OF July . What could be cooler than racing down Memorial Drive in Boston right across from the Charles river? Race n Ride Ride Airfield on Saturday. TS contest in the parking lot too.T

Sunday morning, 8am...it is STILL f#%$ing raining here in NYC. over 24 hours of steady to heavy rain....

screw skateboards...I need a damn boat!

Posted: **Sun Jun 22, 2003 4:26 am**

There was no rain at P&R till 12PM.

If it makes you guys feel any better it is raining like a MOFO here 5miles north of NYC. It is raining somewhere.

next weekend...mmmm

Posted: **Sat Jun 21, 2003 5:44 pm**

CURSES!!!

Posted: **Sat Jun 21, 2003 5:04 pm**

Maybe Walker?

Posted: **Sat Jun 21, 2003 4:49 pm**

10:45am cool and breezy. Skies have clouded and turned gray. Looks like a Sunday session.

Posted: **Sat Jun 21, 2003 3:59 pm**

It really is like a curse. The weather forecast for this weekend had been looking really good, but as soon as Brian noticed and mentioned it (I'll bet Brian didn't knock on wood), it was bound to change. Then, when I realized Brian had cancelled the race, I knew we'd get some kind of freak break in the weather that could've been a race. Oh well... at least the drought is over.

Posted: **Sat Jun 21, 2003 1:40 pm**

Sounds GOOD to me. Wake up Brian lets race.

6:45am wake up call.
Sunny and cool. Channel 4 says it won't be as likely to rain as they thought. If it does it will be scattered and late in the afternoon.

F those motherf'ers. Made Brian cancel ANOTHER Outlaw.

Anyone up for a session? Saturday?Sunday?

Posted: **Sat Jun 21, 2003 6:28 am**

I'll see you guys sun ,practice, a race , all the same to me, I just wanna have 1/2 day of fun. See rest of you next sat.

Geezer, if you make it there tomm(sat), give me a call, I may be doing a birthday party with lil one now that theres a sun practice anyways, but may be able to make it tomm for a bit mid day.

Nite all, Jeff

Posted: **Sat Jun 21, 2003 4:16 am**

Lets not start this again...but racing skateboards in the rain is f&%@ing stupid.

thanks...see you guys next weekend (if it is dry)

LBK, haven't you fallen enough lately?

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2003 11:38 pm**

I already raced in the rain a couple of weeks ago in NYC and it was enough for me for the year.
WHAT! NOT TIED DOWN SUNDAY? COME RACE IN THE DRY WEATHER @ THE G-P&R @ 1PM.
Brian will be there with his timer. No points, round-robin if possible. We will decide Sunday morning if we think the pavement will be dry enough to make it possible.

Wonderful!

See you next weekend guys!

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2003 7:39 pm**

OK, since it looks like rain tomorrow I will postpone the race untill next Saturday June 28th.

This appears to be the best solution.

Sorry guys.

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2003 6:13 pm**

The rain gods must be angry.

I vote for next Saturday for a re-scheduled outlaw race since it appears that the weather will be more favorable then.

It will also give my leg a rest and a little time to heal since I hurt it the other day riding with my son Aaron. I still swear someone shot me in the calf muscle with some type of rubber or wooden bullet !!! I have been hobbling around but its getting better.

Let us know any Banked Slalom at Van's. We might make the trip for that., if not next weekend for an Outlaw will be cool.

DM

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2003 5:59 pm**

DC crew,
Iam up to do some park or banked slalom at vans. Me and my dad were planning on coming up on sat,. Is sunday still an option if is a rain out?
Aaron

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2003 5:52 pm**

I don't know where weather.com gets their weather forcasts from, but noaa.gov says, for Gaithersburg, 50% chance of rain on Saturday and partly cloudy on Sunday. At least the weekend isn’t a total washout. We should have a timed practice at the G-P&R on Sunday.

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2003 5:24 pm**

I vote for next Saturday, also. I can cancel my reservations (without a penalty) for this weekend up until 6:00 tonight.

I'm hoping that we can add/re-schedule a few more DC outlaw events this summer.

Too bad we can't find a warehouse for some dry, flat slalom when it rains(or snows). Smooth concrete, ramps, heat in the winter........

I'm with Noah...next saturday Normal time.....pretty please!

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2003 4:40 pm**

Next Saturday. Normal time

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2003 4:33 pm**

weather.com had 80% on Saturday and 30% on Sunday. How can this happen. For the last two months only 1 dry weekend.

Kevin if we push the race to Sunday or next weekend does that screw up your hotel reservations?

I am afraid to move the race to Sunday since even if it stops raining by Sunday morning it may take several hours for the lot to dry.

Racing a 10-15 cone course in a parking garage sounds about as much fun as surfing in my bath tub.

If LBK was up to it and could bring the quick setup timer we could all meet up at Vans and do an outlaw banked slalom race or a modified park slalom.

I am open to any suggestions.

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2003 4:00 pm**

Brian, are you waiting until saturday to call the race? I haven't looked at the weather but if you can call it by tonight maybe we can run it on Sunday.

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2003 3:32 pm**

I can't beleive it. If it rains tomorrow maybe we can hit the parking garage Dave posted about and run a Flat 10-12 cone course. Or even hold a Flatland freestyle or longboard freestyle session.

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2003 3:04 pm**

I hope you guys can get the race off tomorrow. BUT, if you can't, what about next Sat?

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2003 2:15 pm**

It's going to r@%#.

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2003 4:19 am**

I only know what I read on ncdsa....I wasn't going to be able to make it anyway.

Jeff....still have those 1.5" bridge bolts? If so bring a set for me incase I do show....

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2003 4:05 am**

THE NJ RACE on SUN.......Brian just posted on the slalom ncdsa forum that its cancelled......Noah & UR>...double check, seems odd its the only post, none on events & still on contest calender.....dunno.

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2003 2:13 am**

I'll bring misc hardware & 2.5" kingpins, etc, no worries.
Chris, hope to see you, sounds like you need to stock up on red bull & no doze.
Bozi

Posted: **Thu Jun 19, 2003 4:51 pm**

Jeff,
Glad jeff b. brought up the subject about harware. Can you help me out w/ hardware For a turner? It will be set up w/ wedges, and fulltracks.
Aaron

Posted: **Thu Jun 19, 2003 4:41 pm**

Jeff if you have a few longer bolts to fit Tracker RTS and X trucks please bring them. I also meed some stimulators. Thanks

Jeff Boswell

Posted: **Thu Jun 19, 2003 4:41 pm**

If Noah can't make the race on sat then I may have a marathon driving weekend ahead of me (NYC to DC on sat...NYC to Syracuse on sun....Syracuse to NYC via Albany, NY on Monday...I wish I had a GTI car...blah)...anyway...there is a 75% chance I will be down in DC on sat regardles of Noah's plans...

I know it's been posted but Brian P can you post the timeline for the various events. As I remember the slalom slalom events arein the afternoon, 2pm'ish....

I miss racing all you guys! I gotta make SOME kinda effort to defend my DC summer outlaw series title from Vlad/Ohm/Noah/Kimball/WesE/Brian P/etc......

No, we have never been hasseled during the day. So I am sure everything will be cool.

Jeff, I will bring Bahne boards and several other setups for guys to use.

Posted: **Thu Jun 19, 2003 12:14 pm**

I'm just curious... have we ever been shut down at the Park and Ride during daylight hours? I don't recall any, but I've missed several on account of work.

Posted: **Thu Jun 19, 2003 5:46 am**

Also, as far as backup spot, I noticed right around the corner on the way towards Seneca, theres a new big huge building after (I think) Bowling alley, has HUGE parking lot that has a good slope, & wanders back behind building outta sight from road. Dont know if its guarded though.
