WORLDS Update Week Of June 5th 2007

Post by DHB Juggy » Wed Jun 06, 2007 9:57 am

The DHB leadership has been working hard planning this years Worlds Championships and are excited about having you all come to our town to celebrate, skate, and share in the stoke.

Hotel Update: By the end of this week we will finalize the details regarding hotel accomodations for the event. The Statesville Convention and Visitors Bureau is assisting the DHB in securing the best rates possible and we are waiting on their final recommendations.

Concrete Wave Magazine: Michael Brooke from Concrete Wave is currently working with the various industry vendors, manufacturers, and suppliers, to put together a trade show that will accompany the Worlds in Statesville. If enough interest is there, you will have an opportunity to visit personally with representatives from the various longboard, slalom, and other skateboard companies while you are attending the World Championships. Stay tuned for more detail coming from Michael.

City of Statesville Support: We are getting a great deal of support from our city leaders, especially our mayor, police department, and city council. They have already granted us permission to block roads to test venues for the event and have pledged to give us a level of cooperation that is exciting and greatly appreciated.

Clarification On Format: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday's events are all planned to be dual lane elimination bracket racing with qualifying taking place each day. Qualifying will determine the top 32 Pros and top 32 Ams who will advance to the elimination brackets in the Mens Division. Women and Juniors will also qualify but the number of registered attending racers will determine the number of competitors in each of these categories.
Thursday's Bonus Event is still in the planning stages so stay tuned for more info as venues and format are finalized.

Speaking of Venues: All venues will be in and around the Statesville area and will not include Hobby Park Soap Box Derby Hill. We will be using it for the Dixie Cup however as we always have.


Airports: Charlotte and Greensboro, North Carolina are both within an hour's drive of Statesville and easily accessible by interstate.

Look for more updates each week leading up to the event. We look forward to seeing you all at the 2007 World Championships of Slalom Skateboard Racing.

Does anyone know where the locations and/or registration spot is for the Worlds in NC next week? It's a week away and there doesn't seem to be info anywhere, other than that the event is in Statesville.
