Fluitt got Breck to give us August 27-29, 2004 to host the US Open Slalom Skateboarding (not Street Slalom) Championships in Breckenridge, Colorado. The weather should be better and the town will be peaking right before Labor Day. He is working on finding a big/steep hill to use for a single lane Super GS course.

< Ed note: Breckenridge added. /Jani >

Near end of July, COSS will hold Colorado Open Slalom Championship in Golden, Colorado. We will have a 2-3 race series leading up to the Colorado Open. We will try to nail down dates soon.

< Ed note: CO Open added, but not the race series. Waiting for more info. /Jani >

Talked with Tway at Worlds and told him we planned to try to move Breck to August (Normal DaFarm time) and he said he would then move DaFarm to June where weather is better for them.

< Ed note: DaFarm not added. Not enough detail. /Jani >

The rumors of the demise of Slalom Skateboarding are greatly exagerated. Can't wait till the 2004 season. Best Ever!

Jani...thanks for setting up this forum.

There will be a slalomcross event in Paso Robles in early May. It may include a GS or Super G.

FCR Worlds will be October 8th, 9th and 10th. Morro Bay and other local venues.

I am also working on an event called "Gran Prix Skateboarding"...more soon.

< Ed note: Paso Robles added. FCR World added. /Jani >

World Slalom Contest Listings

Post by Claude Regnier » Sun Nov 09, 2003 6:46 pm

Nice work Jani! As usual.

Hopefully everyone will grow up and stop trying to put an "I" in TEAM.

One direction is key. Help make Slalom grow! I am working with some of the Montreal and Toronto folks on the GRS stuff we started a couple of weeks ago in Canada.

Once we get the Sk8park open over the next few weeks I will start to get some letters out for a July 1, 2004 Canada Day Slalom Event. If JG does Boston on July 4th we can maybe combine it as a CAM-AM event.

It is only a 7 hour drive or a 2 hour flight (not quite).

Anyhow Thanks for putting it all together and hopefully the users of both north american Slalom sites will willingly share information and the whole scene will continue to grow worldwide.

< Ed note: July 1 Canadian event added. July 4 Boston event added /Jani >
Many Happy Pumps!

Contest Schedule 2004

Post by Jani Soderhall » Sat Nov 08, 2003 7:15 pm

Contest Schedule 2004 - USA, Europe & the rest of the world

Following a format used at the French speaking forum Riderz I'm suggesting this format for the universal planning of slalom events.

Here's how it works: post a reply to this announcement if you know about a competition which is not yet listed here. Once one of the moderators of this site will see it, they'll update this first post with the provided information. They'll also add a short note, small font, dark red color to your post to let you and others know that your comment was taken into account.

This competition listing does not intend to be the all-inclusive, exclusive listing on the web. For example NCDSA has a good contest calendar, which also allows you to sign up to some events online. But as this list allows events to be listed, while they're being planned, it may help us all get a good picture of what up for next year.

Let's give it a try.

Legend:

Blue - USA & Canada
Green - Europe
Brown - Japan & rest of world
Olive - other events of interest, but no slalom
Italic - event is not yet confirmed
