Yes! The U.S. Slalom Skateboarding Federation is now online at http://www.USSSF.org. Right now we just have an attractive place-holding page, but expect site development and content soon.
Hans, I will check with our Art Director to see if we can optimize the images at all. I appreciate your feedback.
I'm also very glad you like the art itself. Our Art Director, Eric Beacom, is a brilliant artist. He grew up here in Gaithersburg, Maryland, currently resides in Boston, and also happens to be one of the most naturally-gifted, board-sportsmen (skateboard, snowboard, skimboard), I've ever met. He is a graduate of the well reknowned Rhode Island School of Design, one of the original Killer Bs (of Killer B Productions) and is currently donating his services and expertise to the USSSF. Eric first rode slalom with me in the late '80s, knows first-hand how deep my passion for slalom runs, knows exactly how important this project is to me, and I feel terrifically honored and privileged to have an artist of his caliber supporting our effort.
