ISSA - International Slalom Skateboarding Association

Just starting to catch our breath after two almost back to back race trips -- First the Sizzler in TX and now Two Days of Turri . . . have a ton of cool pics, news, etc. to get through and share but for now -- here's the event wrap up with full results courtesy of Official Timekeeper and IGSA Prez Marcus Rietema (Thanks Marcus!!): http://www.igsaworldcup.com/index.php?o ... Itemid=465

Thanks to all the sponsors and all the racers -- for supporting the event and helping to make it one for the history books!

It was Gnar!

More to come!

Just some final announcements as we count down to race day!

Entry Fee -- Most registered racers have already paid your entry fee but for anyone who is still lagging or planning to come without advance registration -- paypal payment of $125 can be made only through tomorrow - Thursday April 8. Cash payment only can be arranged to be made to Jonny Miller at Toyland Ranch as late as Friday, April 9. Paying your entry fee on Saturday race day is $150 and must be in cash. We have to be able to do the accounting and figure out prize purse before race day so late payments just make it harder for us to be organized -- Thanks for helping us be on top of things.

Safety Gear - Just a reminder helmets are mandatory and full pads - knee, elbow, etc. are recommended. To participate in the downhill and bob sled events -- you will also need to have a full-face helmet, slider gloves and a leather jacket. Please bring your own gear if you have it. We will have some loaner safety gear available but it will be shared with other racers. If you have full leathers -- all the better but not required.

Race Day - Sign-in between 8:00 - 8:30 a.m at the race venue and warm ups will begin after signup. Please be on time since we'll be moving through the events with the goal to finish by mid-afternoon both days.

Camping - Anyone who is camping at Toyland -- please be sure to make arrangements with Jonny Miller in advance. It's BYO camping gear (tent, sleeping bag, toilet paper!), food and drink. It's rustic but there is a toilet and outdoor shower on site. Remember No Dogs Allowed.

PS -- I will have Oust bearings and wheels available on site for purchase if anyone needs. Oust has pledged a bonus prize payout of $250 for any racer who wins one of the main events -- as long as that racer is riding both Oust bearings and wheels for the victory run.

Cheers and see you at Turri!

Went back through the archives to pull out a few pics from 2008 which show both sides of the venue we will be running on for the Two Days of Turrri event.
