Had a great time except for the food poisoning at the Atlanta Airport. Hope to see you all at next years event.

Click here for my Red Clay photo galery. Give me some slack on the quality though. This was my first real digicam session. Also apologize for not getting everyone. Taking pictures while competing is not the easiest thing to do. BTW, when it asks for a password, enter "WesE".

If you are the subject of any of those photos, I will supply you with a larger version, free of charge. Contact me via private message at slalomskateboarder.com if interested.

Rick- thanks again for putting us up and headquarters and for an awesome weekend of skateboarding! I had so much fun!!! Friday night on Trade Street was soooo much fun! I'm glad we got to throw down some runs Saturday- you predicted the weather well- I was sure that rain was there to stay- but it turned out awesome- every bit of it. Congrats on a good race weekend. Your cement park is awesome. Thanks for everything!

Chris Barker- wow. Congrats- it was great to see ya again.

Lynn Kramer- that girl is a hoot! Lisa, Katii, it was great to see ya'll before you're all Englandifyed for a while. Tell Elisa we missed her.

Missed Sidlo and Goad, Eddy- hope that knee heals with a quickness.

Everyone was awesome. My love of skateboarding + the comraderie of these events keeps my stoke at an all time high. XOXO

Rick,

I wanted to take a minute to personally thank you for all of the effort you put out for this weekend's event. This was my first contest in a long time, and I had a ball. The biggest difference I can tell you about now and then is the comraderie shown by all of the racers for one another. Eveyone put up with my constant questions as I schooled on gear and technique all weekend.

The top of the hill Friday night was such a fun time. Everyone cheering the GS results of all the racers from Mollica on down was so cool. The support shown was awesome.

And Rick, back to you. Your help in loaning me a deck to get me started was the beginning for me. Now I am re-hooked on slalom and am looking forward many more races starting with The Farm in August. After that who knows?

Thanks 6 for a great time! What's the dates for next year?

Oh and congrats to C-bark, you were ON on Saturday bro.

Nah bro I saw the surgeon today. He has me on bedrest. He decided to hold off on the surgery and decided to remove 100cc of yellow fluid from my knee instead. I laid there and bit down on an Avalon, I believed it was a shaved 86 duro. It hurt like a mxsx#!r. Look for my teamates The Texas Outlaws, Chris they are some coolest dudes I know. OG Marcos, Mike Money, Will J, Brandon and Gumby. Here is hoping we see each other soon bro. Your Amigo Eddy Texas Outlaws.

Yes. Be there, have your pads on, and be listening for your name over the PA.

The goal here is to provide a product that is more palatable to potential sponsors and spectators. Friday night is a good old fashioned grass roots jam on a deserted stretch of back road, Saturday is non stop skateboarding racing.

Christopher -- The new Manx are not really "out" yet but I'm trying to get a supply this week. If so I will bring some for sure.

Rick -- Sounds like you have things finely tuned for this event. Thanks again for all the hard work you have done to pull this off. PS -- We are bringing a "racy" little number for the open prize pool from one of Richy's main sponsors . . .

Looking forward!

Rick Stanziale · Post by **Rick Stanziale** » Mon Apr 25, 2005 2:47 pm

Here's a handy map for driving over from the Atlanta Airport

http://www.68mm.com/beatrice/redclaymap05.JPG

When you leave the airport, take Interstate 85 North for approximately 30 miles

Veer right at Exit 106 - Georgia Highway 316

Another 30 miles and you'll see the Athens exit (Highway 78) - DO NOT TAKE THIS EXIT

If you're heading straight to Trade Street, continue another mile or so to the intersection of 316 & Jimmy Daniel Road (there is a light at this intersection, but if you aren't paying attention you will miss it!). Turn left onto Jimmy Daniel Road and continue until you reach the intersection of Jimmy Daniel & State Highway 78/Atlanta Highway. Continue through the light and Jimmy Daniel becomes Trade Street. Follow this for 1/2 mile, turn right and park. You are now in the Giant Slalom runout.

Heading to Game Day Condos from the airport? Do not exit 316. Continue past the Athens exit, past Jimmy Daniels Road, past Home Depot, 316 merges with Highway 78/Atlanta Highway. First landmark will be the Hampton Inn on your left at Alps Road. Followed by the Varsity on your left at Milledge Avenue. When you pass the Varsity, Game Day will be the closest big building you can see downtown. You'll go downhill, then uphill towards town, stay in the left lane and when you see Game Day Condos, turn left into their parking lot.

If you are staying at Team Clay World Headquarters (you know who you are), proceed as if you were heading to Game Day. Turn left at the Varsity on to Milledge Avenue. Turn left when Milledge dead ends (Dunkin Donuts on the right) at Prince Avenue. First traffic light is Chase Street, turn right. Next traffic light is Boulevard, turn left. 2nd right is Hiawassee, turn right, World Headquarters is 465, last house on the left.

Trade Street is safe to skate all day long, the course is marked in red.

Friday - Giant Slalom Jam format begins promptly at 5pm and ends at dark (organizers discretion). Racers will run the course in order of paid entry (as seen on SlalomSkateboarder.com). Single lane, best time wins.

Rendezvous at Game Day for a tour of downtown by yours truly.

Saturday - Slalom practice begins at 11:30 am on Washington Street. Dual lane bracket racing, no qualifying, brackets set by order of 4 year World Ranking at SlalomRanking.com.

ELITE CLASS RACING BEGINS PROMPTLY AT NOON!

Followed by Open, Women & Juniors.

Bracket racing will determine division winners, however World Ranking points will be distributed according to fastest time. So it is possible for someone who doesn't make the cut to the Elite bracket to still walk away with the most points. Make sense? Questions? Concerns? I don't want to hear it.

Awards Ceremony following Junior racing on the hill at 4:45 pm, road must be cleared by 5pm, bike racing begins immediately.

After party at World Headquarters all night Saturday.

Sunday - 1st ever Georgia Old School Skate Jam at the Skate Park of Athens, 8am - ???

There are still 7 people who have signed up on the NCDSA Contest Calendar who have not paid their entry fees, I will not accept entry fees after Wednesday, 5pm.

Call me if you need anything - seven oh six, three three eight, three three oh four

six

Hi Maria....do you have any of the new big daddy Manx's on the shelves yet?

Maria Carrasco · Post by **Maria Carrasco** » Sun Apr 24, 2005 11:04 pm

Hello everyone -- just checking in to see the latest news on the first major event of the season! It's getting close now for sure. Looking forward to seeing all of you -- old and new friends alike.

Since I've been asked by several people to bring race gear from our SK8KINGS store -- I thought I would let you all know I will be doing just that. Can't bring the whole store of course but I am bringing Manx Wheels, Khiro Riser and Bushing Kits, Oust Bearings and probably some shirts and DVD's too. I will also have some of our brand new Crown Jewel Freestyle Wheels since they are arriving Monday for anyone interested. Probably will have an AXE or two on hand if space permits. If you want something specific -- please let me know and I'll do my best to bring it.

We'll be arriving with the sun early Friday morn.

Practice safe and see you all soon!

Marty Schaub · Post by **Marty Schaub** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 7:26 pm

Welllll Chris.....

We have had the southern version of snow.....RAIN! The big bike race rolling across Georgia endured hard rain and hail yesterday....Thank god fer helmets. Thursday here calls for a bit of rain but Friday & Saturday are sounding good. Hopefully it'll rebound and be in the mid 70's like we had last week. I am heading to Trade Street tomorrow at 1pm for a practice sesh on the big bomber.

Oh and if anyone has allergies, bring your meds. Georgia is the pollen capitol of the known world.

Christopher Bara · Post by **Christopher Bara** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 6:34 pm

Less than a week to go to Athens and it's been a cold winter so none of us up here have gotten a whole lot of practive since fall

But it was pretty warm this week so we figured we would get a good session in Sunday to get loosened up.

Forecast this weekend?....high in the mid 30's and 6" of snow....it's coming down pretty hard already...

I've got to get out of Detroit

Please tell me the weather's been good in Georgia.....

What if someone were to "slip and fall" or have an "equipment malfunction" before the race?

Would the next Open racer be able to slide into the "Elite" class?

I finally got out to practice last Friday & Saturday for the 1st. time since Morro Bay and I get to race in the Top 8 Bracket. Can't practice this week because I have a sk8camp running for a private school this week either.

I did get them all on Slalom Boards this morning running cones though.

C'mon Barker register, EH! Gimmie a break!

I'm glad Ive been doing for a while now what Kenny has decided to do from now on.

Depending on which ranking, you, Harms, Claude, and maybe a few others would round out the 16, but will you do it or will you take your rankings and sit at the top of B? Sounds like it works good for you. Sucks for me.

Either way, that's a shame. The biggest race and the most points on the East Coast and we can't even qualify one run.

Still working on acquiring additional time and hill.

4 year combined ranking

Brackets will be published 5pm Wednesday, April 26th.

The decision to run a bracket of 16 or two brackets of 8 Elite racers will also be made by then.

I think it will have less of an impact on points than you are imaging.

Qualifying is boring, racing is exciting. If I, as a promoter, can't put on an event that will draw sponsorship, this will be the last Red Clay Cup. Four years of dumping money into the black hole called skateboard racing has taken it's toll. I'm no McCree. This (Twilight) is a big oppportunity for skateboard racing, they've been running a succesful bike race for 25 years. I expect everyone to bring their A-game to town.

Barker you're not even registered. The Contest Calendar on NCDSA is not the official registration, I've posted the names of those who have registered in this thread.

Don't forget the schwag.

Jonathan Harms · Post by **Jonathan Harms** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 5:37 pm

OK, now I'm confused. I thought we only had the hill for a few hours, and then only in the evening. Wutup widdat?

Doing some last minute negotiating with local government officials and Twilight representatives in an attempt to gain more hill and more time.

In keeping with ISSA rules, in past years I have chosen 3 visiting racers to set the course. Look for something not too difficult, but with either a .2 or .3 cone penalty.

On a related note, Elite Racers will be racing first on Saturday. Practice begins at 11:30 am, racing at 12:00 noon. Elite racers will be bracketed according to World Rankings found at http://www.slalomranking.com. Open racing begins upon completion of the Elite bracket, followed by Womens & Juniors.

Registration will close Wednesday, April 27th at 5:00pm Eastern Standard Time. If I have not received your registration fee via Paypal or U.S. Mail by this time, don't bother coming.

Elite racers must provide "schwag" (equipment, clothing, nude pictures of slalom celebrities) for the Open racers in order to be eligible for prize money. (Prize money of $1000 per race Elite based on 50 registered racers, $100 Open, Women & Junior Boy/Girls per race)

Here's a map getting you from the Atlanta Airport to the Athens slalom venues - http://www.68mm.com/beatrice/redclaymap05.JPG (may need to cut and paste into your browser as the "beatrice" directory does not allow direct linking).

Sorry it took so long to get back to you guys on alt routes to Athens. There is a route out 20 to Highway 441 up to Athens. I showed this to my wife, whom is a Georgia native, and she said it's long...long...long....

Best bet is to follow Rick's lead and head out 85 to 316. Just go fast when you can and remember not to flip off the old ladies sportin the stars and bars bumper stickers. If they are like most Georgians they are armed to the teeth. Yee-Haw.....

It was nice to see Mollica will be there. Anybody willing to post a naked picture has got to be up for a cold one or six on Saturday night.....
