FOR SALE NOW! Morro Bay 2001 EXTREMELY rare memorabilia....
Posted: Sun Sep 25, 2005 7:53 am
When I went to the first Morro Bay World Champs in 2001, like many people I was unsure whether this slalom resurgence was a “flash in the pan” or was here for good this time. I decided that I wanted a little keepsake no matter what happened.
So I went out and bought a G & S 43” Funshape and a sharpie and left it on a table near the sign-up sheets at the race registration.
These are the names on the board as best as I can make out, in the order they are in from top to bottom…Can anyone help me out with the ones I cannot identify? I would love to know who everyone was…
Shaggy (of Madd Snowboards fame),
Henry Hester (Slalom Legend),
Bob? BS?
Marley? (wishful thinking, but I don’t think Rasta Bob was there…),
? 00/01
Cliff Coleman (Master of the Slide),
Gareth Roe (pre-Roe days!)
Andy “GBJ” Bittner,
Deiter Fleischer (France),
Gary Cross N-Men (who won),
John O’Shei (future BLR star),
? Smokin’
Jack Smith (Event Organiser-A big thanks Jack!),
Ed Economy (Longboard Legend, pre Bank Rider days),
CMC (see below),
Terry Kirby (future Farm organiser & Roe Teamrider),
Chris Chaput (Mr.Abec 11),
Maurus Strobel (runner-up and future Pro World & European Champ),
David Sidlo,
David Riordon (before LBK had a posse!),
James Sidlo,
Hunter Joslin (blast from the past),
Paul Price (future Open World Champ),
Brian Martin (Tracker Team rider?),
Floyd (future Open World Champ),
John Gilmour (TS Master),
Chris Hart (future European Champ),
B______ B______?
?
? RPM,
Alan Sidlo (PsychoLloyd),
Don Brown (Etnies),
Beau Brown (Etnies/Madrid/Turner),
Ken Mollica (future Pro World Champ),
Adam NCDSA (got things off the ground),
Martin Drayton (who?),
John Hutson(Slalom Legend),
Dan Gesmer (future 3DM owner),
Nick (Etnies),
Steve Cozens DEPLO,
Steve Monahan,
Curt Di Bartolo (CMC-East Coast Alpine Boy),
D_______ J_________?
Chicken (future Pro World Champ & Pocket Pistols Supremo),
Tway (another “Farm” Boy),
Marc Du Paul (formerly of Longskate),
Arab (where would I even begin!).
Its such a cool keepsake to have, as there are so many famous names on there, some Legends already and some who no-one knew, but were destined to become household names (at least in slalom-aware households!).
I have also decided to sell it, but don't know whether to sell it here or on Ebay as I have no idea what its worth...
