ISSA - International Slalom Skateboarding Association

Great Job Noah! Once again a great time had by all Farm Series racers. No bust, no hassle and a perfect venue. My body is worn out but it was well worth it. Props to Dr. Dan at the skatepark! Great Wheeler.

I love the shot of Dr. Dan rippin'!! Awesome shot Noah!

Thanks to all for a really great day of skating...

Shane

Who knew he could make turns only of 1/4 of a circle!! Normally, on a snowboard, CMC is going 180* or more around the dial. What'd ya do, Curt, put 'lean only' back truck on that board?!
Congrats on the wiggle-fest Win!!

Thanks Noah for a killer race!

thanks to all for a fun race, and an awesome session at sayreville after

Great race Noah, my whoop juice worked. I still cant belive that Tway hurts his leg taking a dump in the woods....unbelievable.

Noah, that's going on my waiting room wall!

Thanks for a great day.

Outlaw Race #1 Highlights

Vid is pretty low-res. Works best on small screen.
13mb wmv runtime is 3min 32 sec.

Also as construction begins on the farm next week, our killer Smartramps need a new home. I will first ask Hays but I don't think he can house them right now. If anyone has any ideas where the hell we can store these suckers, pls let me know. Tks.

Wow, awesome video! I really dig the black and white.

Thanks for posting that Tway!

Tway - brilliant as usual!!

The catamaran run is everything.

That picture of Nick is so cool - but you should've gotten footage of him gettin' that back rub from Curt's pretty lady

And of course "back" is just a replacement word for another that'd probably get this site blocked at work/schools

Tway,

Thanks for the vid (for those who couldn't make it and have to live vicariously through others on the internet sometimes)!

Nice pumas!

Terry

whens the next race

The Next Farm Outlaw:

"Little Robbie's Birthday Slalom" in Northen New Jersey!


Contest Date and Time: Saturday, July 8th 2006. Practice starts 10am.

Entry Open.

Format: Two races, a Hybrid down a fast hill, and a TS down a smaller hill with two curves thrown in. Both courses will be at least 50 cones or longer.

Location Hofstra Park, Prospect Park, NJ

Organizer Team Fatboy: NJDB Chapter.

Map http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?la ... k&qc=Parks

Contest Info There will be two races: a FAST hybrid and a FAST TS down a bike path that runs down hill.

Pics of the Hybrid hill: looking downhill


Looking uphill:




And the TS hill:






Both hills have great runouts that run back uphill. No footbraking required.

Pavement: Butter smooth, 9/10. Just paved last year:


The park is reserved for us from 10am to 5pm. But, since the park is reserved for a Birthday Party and not a slalom race, I'm still labeling this as an Outlaw. I have had cops come up and give me the okay to run here before, and that's without the park reserved in my name. So I don't foresee any problems. Plus, Nick I. will be playing the part of "Little Robbie" and is fully prepared to turn on the water works if we need it. :lol:

Just in case, we do have a backup location 20 minutes away.

The Park itself has two big playgrounds and a pavillion right next to where we are running the Hybrid. So bring the kids, coolers, dead meat to cook on a grill, etc. I'm currently working on an Alchohol permit so we can enjoy some Adult beverages in the park, but otherwise the party can move to my backyard 4 blocks away where anything goes. Yes, anything.

I'm currently waiting on an access code for NCDSA, so keep watching over there for a signup.

does the meat have to be dead that we bring?

Might be fun to play a little "chase the live weasel before we kill it and grill it" with the other birthday guests, no?

Do we have permission for BOTH hills?

ill make sure to pick up any road kill i see, and bring it... so we can get some good ol' jersey cookin....

Ron Barbagallo wrote:Might be fun to play a little "chase the live weasel before we kill it and grill it" with the other birthday guests, no??

My favorite game! Although you'll have to wait until august to chase the weasel, we'll be in Latvia that weekend, good luck everyone!

Ron Barbagallo wrote: Do we have permission for BOTH hills?

We have permission and the park reserved for a BIRTHDAY PARTY. Hence why I labeled it an Outlaw still.

Sounds like a good time but my family and I will be in Oregon that weekend. We will be planing a Gloucester MA outlaw race soon. I will post here when we set the date. See you all soon.
Glenn Chapman

Glenn,

I'll come but Nick is still waking up screaming, "Surely he's going to turn!?".

Joe

Tell Nick to rest easy I will not be there. I will say one thing, he is one tough kid. That was a pretty hard hit. Nick your the man.
See you all soon.
Glenn

Plane tickets are booked!!!!!!!!!!!!! Donna, Hannah, (Emily has to report to college early so she will be her in NC) and I are flying into LaGuardia on Monday, August 7th, renting a car, driving over to western upstate NY for a couple of days, then up to Vermont for a couple of days, and then back down to Joe I's on Thursday for the Wentzel Ruml China Buffet Challenge!

Stoked about Shady Lane and the Farm race! Looking forward to the details so I know what boards to pack!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oooooooooooooh, I DO want in on the Buffet Challenge, but I know I'm no match for Hammerhead

Ron Barbagallo wrote:oooooooooooooh, I DO want in on the Buffet Challenge, but I know I'm no match for Hammerhead

Fatboy, Wentzel kicked everyone's butt last year.....I think he went back to the buffet 9 times.....9 full plates......enough food to feed a whole province in China for a month!

Look forward to seeing you there!

Can't wait to hang with the downhill-billy. Glad you're coming out to the Farm, Marion, hope to see you there.

Signup for the July 8th Jersey Outlaw is now on that "other" site, please go signup so I have an idea of how many people are coming.

Rob,

Your spot looks great with the trees and way it bends its way through the park. A tad narrow, but I'm sure the speed is killer. It's time to hit NJ again. My last visit to NJ was Columbus Day weekend 1979 to skate CherryHill Skatepark of course.


The Maine leg of the Outlaw Farm Series is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of July 22. We are hoping to make it a two day event, to make it worth the trip. GS Friday night, HS and TS sat., sat night party on the lake.

Currently, I'm working with the town to get permission. The guy I need to speak with is on vacation, again. I got the cold shoulder from his assistant, but once I explained slalom etc..(bullshited) she warmed right up. Thanks Joe I for all the good tips, they really work. Another week and we should know if its a go or not at this location.

Joe I - I'm e-mailing some pictures to you. Please post a few so everyone can get an idea of the hills etc..

Thank you.

Thanks Paul. The path is alot wider then the pictures make it look (I stink at taking pictures), its just as wide if not wider then the course in Needham.

And its FAST.

July 22nd? Sounds good. I think I can make that!

Are podium winners guranteed a lobster dinner?

Rob,

It's not that you stink at taking pictures, it just difficult to capture the true depth/steepness of the any hill. The pictures of my location don't due the hill justice at all. Most of the pictures make the hill look relatively mellow. Your pictures certainly make the courses look fast. However, the width looks like half that of the Needham course. I'm glad the course is wider as the metal bike rack next to the course was making me a bit nervous.

I'm hoping to get permission next week. We need permission as the police station is almost directly across the street. Also, I'm hoping the July 22nd date sticks.

I was thinking we should have a hundred lobsters, seafood chowder, scallops, clams etc...

If memory serves me correctly, I think Rob's road is about as wide as a single car lane, which is what one lane at the Farm Hybrid course was.

Did I hear lobster?

Regardless of width I'm still going to hit way more than my share of cones.

Yes, Fatboy you heard right. Of course, the slowest racers get the biggest lobsters.

Lobster Pie for the Fatboy!!!

Paul, Fatboy's right, its about a car lane wide, maybe a little less, but plenty of room for Hybrid. Don't worry about that bike rack, its towards the bottom of the hill, so most likely the course will have ended and you'll start to do the runout thing there. Besides, as long as its not anchored into the ground, we'll pick it up and move it back. It's all good.


Mmmmm, Lobster Cakes

EDIT: Actually, now that I went back and looked at the pictures, I know what rack your talking about. Don't worry, we'll be moving that no problem.

Actually, I was hoping to ollie the bike rack and perhaps remove some of my cone penalties.

How close is that concrte park (Wally Holiday) to the race site?
