DC Winter Outlaw Series

Racing in cars? What’s up with that? Real racers generate their own speed, get thrown from their vehicle during mishaps, and race on Saturday. Turn left, turn right, think fast, go fast.

Next week would better for me! F1? what's up with that? Real race cars have fenders and race on Sunday. Go fast,turn left. Just kidding Michael Schumacher rules!!!

I'm telling ya we should have raced last weekend...eitherway I'm out this weekend, F1 season opener....priorities man!

Have fun all skating in the rain or dry.

Saturday: Showers likely, mainly before 1pm. Chance for precipitation is 60%. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60.

Skater's Almanac Suggests: Try again next week (damn).

Hunter,
Things usually start at 10AM. There is usually a "longboard" race followed by a more traditional slalom race.

Generally the courses are set in such a way that they are fun for varying levels of experience. If there are enough racers, they will run a separate "A" and "B" bracket based on qualifying times.

Last race they ran dual lane "head to head" races for both events.

The location is usually posted close to the race date, based on weather conditions.

Stay tuned to this forum, and you'll get the info when it comes out.

i have good news and bad news...first the bad, I cant make it to the race this weekend (if there is one) because i have to go to band festival for school and it just so happens to be at our school so i have to work there too. Now for the good news, I measured the wheelbase on my sector 9 cosmic and it just so happens that its 29" and thats when im not standing on it so when i stand on it and the board flattens out itll be like 30.5" and i just put some better bushings in the indys on it too but alas i cant race it for another week longer....

Jack Quarantillo · Post by **Jack Quarantillo** » Tue Mar 02, 2004 12:06 am

Actually Hunter, there should be a DC Outlaw Race Saturday if the weather is good.

Watch this forum for details.

Q

Sorry, I'm gonna have to try this tomorrow. At RFK.

Vlad call me. Cyber session around 1pm? Walker? Saturday.

Sunday 1pm at Oakwood. GS!

BIG 2 DAY SESSION AT LANSDOWNE THIS WEEKEND!

Andy Bittner · Post by **Andy Bittner** » Sat Feb 28, 2004 4:05 am

Yeah, Dan, this probably should be posted under Sessions, but since you asked here, I'll answer here. Saturday's out for me. Saturday's are always harder for me, as I have a long term volunteer commitment to which I've promised two Saturdays a month. Sunday's supposed to be even nicer than Saturday, and I may make a real, legitimate training day of it. That means lots of runs, training courses and equipment research and performance recording.

Jack Quarantillo · Post by **Jack Quarantillo** » Sat Feb 28, 2004 2:13 am

PA Dan, general rule for Lansdowne:

Softer is better. Mount the 78's bring the 98's just in case you find the need for speed, but some areas are rough and bumpy, and others are slick from too much tagging. I run my 85a Shogo Kubos there comfortably.

I won't be there Saturday, but there will be a crew from Ellicott City there, and Karl (aka Taz aka MD Bulldog rep) will be there both days.

I'll be there Sunday, and if Bertleboy gets out of the doghouse, he'll be along.

Q

Jeff Boswell · Post by **Jeff Boswell** » Sat Feb 28, 2004 1:35 am

I'm still hurting from a accident I had at work. I think I'll fish tomorrow. Have fun Y'all, knock a cone or two over for me.

Dan Mitchell · Post by **Dan Mitchell** » Sat Feb 28, 2004 12:44 am

Hey, guys...
I REALLY need to get on a board this weekend!

Saturday would be better than Sunday for me. Anyone up for practice at the P&R....Andy?...Hell, I'd even be up for Lansdowne, just to get some board time. I've got NoSkools for my Bulldog in 78a and 96a. Which would be better?
I'll be watching this thread 'till about 9:00 and again early (6:00 or so) tomorrow.

PS
Shouldn't we be posting under "DC Sessions" ?

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 11:33 pm

Vladdy, I could be into some flat pumping style training stuff. Walker?

Oakwood should be on Sunday. Less traffic. Warmer.

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 11:05 pm

I was actually thinking flatland at the racetrack. Euro cyber for a change. Maybe pumping around for miles? Maybe hill climb pump? One foot pump?
Backward pump? Pimping pump?

Ok. Oakwood. When and where?

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 10:59 pm

Vlad stop being limp. Where is the fire in your belly? Fountainhead is a last resort spot. How about Tysons or Oakwood Rd. Lets go fast!

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 10:42 pm

Oh, I don't know. Fountnhead with GS and/or easy (no huge offsets) fast Hybrid?

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 8:46 pm

Can't travel this weekend either. Just checked. Noah we owe you a trip up soon. We need to plan it.

Vlad and Brian, what flavour of slalom would you all prefer? GS, TS, Hybrid. Oakwood, Tysons, Fountainhead, Walker?

Anthony, I must have been writing my post when you were. Yeah, Oakwood was a rush and I need more!!!!!!!!

Anthony Smallwood · Post by **Anthony Smallwood** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 8:25 pm

Sometime thru the course of the weekend we'll be hitting Oakwood and Landsdown. I'll have some of the gnarly kids from Van's in tow. Not sure yet how we'll lay it out but I'll check the boards to see what the rest of you monkeys are doing....Ohm, have you outgrown the P&R? Sounds like you got the Van Dorn virus. Your cravings for speed won't diminish anytime soon. Keep me posted.

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 7:43 pm

I can't do all-day sessions. Somethnig's been planned for PM both days. :sad-sad smilie:

The blades are for Paris, Moscow, SS.com and BoL.com avitars.

I have 2 new super tight outfits and 5 new helmets. There's no way around skating in some of it this weekend.

Noah Heinle · Post by **Noah Heinle** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 5:42 pm

I would love it if any or all of you guys would take a trip up here! And if it's not too short notice, let's do it tomorrow or sunday or both! Crash at my place- no problem. Dinner is on Ohm.

As of now, 13 and I are skating tomorrow morn at a big hill. I've got night spots as well. BP, Ohm, Vlad....anyone and everyone! ask the bosses and let me know.

if you want scary GS brian, Noah and I can set one at one of Noah's spots, trust me it will be more scary than anything in DC...hahaha :-P

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 5:25 pm

Or......if you guys want to do something up your way. I might be able to get a pass for a road trip north. I need to check with the boss.

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 5:18 pm

Sorry Guys,

I thought it would work out best for everyone.

If Sunday is a better day and you guys are realy wanting to race. We can do a informal session at the P&R or hit Oakwood for some scary GS.

Andy Bittner · Post by **Andy Bittner** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 5:11 pm

I'm going to be riding somewhere on Sunday. It may be with you guys, it may be up here in the Park and Ride or I may decide to go out to one of my private spots to train alone. (I never actually seem to do any training when I'm with a group) However, one way or another, I'm gonna be out there somewhere.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 5:07 pm

I'd be in for some competitive training in DC if Noah is......but ya his thoughs suck! trust me he spams me multiple times daily because he won't download AIM....

Noah Heinle · Post by **Noah Heinle** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 4:51 pm

my thoughts suck.

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 4:36 pm

Talked with Brian this morning. No race of course but the weather will be killer. Who wants to still get together for some racing/training?

Sunday looks like the best day too.

Oakwood Road-GS is my vote.

Noah, will you make the trek? Sat or Sun?
Vlad, 13, Joe I.

post your thoughts....

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 4:30 pm

well that blows...the first weekend in a while that I a) have my ducks in a row to have my saturday free, b) motivated to go race (it's been about 45 days since I have been on a skateboard) c) the weather is going to rock d) don't mind getting up early in the AM to drive to DC...

and no race, uggh. I was actually really looking forward to it!

Oh well, such is life...

I can't do next weekend, it is the opening weekend for the F1 season...so I'll be glued to the TV and the web watching results come in from Australia.

Jack Quarantillo · Post by **Jack Quarantillo** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 3:40 pm

As of last week, Lansdowne was 90% Skateable.

The only unrideable part is the section that connects the upper run to the lower "freestyle" area. (Still full of sand/mud, although the locals are slowly clearing it out.)

I plan to skate there Sunday. Lots of old schoolers heading there both days this weekend.

Q

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 3:34 pm

Yes, the next race will be on March 6th. This is due to the weather delay. I decided to do this since there are so many out of town racers. This allowed them another weekend to take care of the "honey do" list or whatever before another trip back to DC.

However the weather is going to be absolutely great in DC this weekend. It would be a shame not to get out and skate somewhere. Anyone know the condition of Landsdown. Or we can hit the P&R for some slalom practice.

I am good for anything. As long as its outside and does not involve snow.

Jack Quarantillo · Post by **Jack Quarantillo** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 3:26 pm

Noah (and others)

BP posted this in the results thread for the 2/14 race.

The next Outlaw slalom race will be on March 6th. This is a week later than previously planned due to the weather delay. We will make a decision on location once we see what the weather is going to do.

Rene, learn to "Hit it Hard" prior to a race and your sweetheart will grant you freedom.

Rene Hayden · Post by **Rene Hayden** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 3:33 pm

oh, Bri...

if you put it together, any race at any time is a good race at a good time, especially in non-freezing, non-wet winter conditions.

but just not for me, but that just sucks for me.

you all will have to give me the secret to "setting expectations."

hope you all set a nice heart-shaped dual slalom track.

smoochies,

XOXOXO

Rene.

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 11:50 am

Wow, Sorry I did not really realize that the race would be on Valentines day. And even if I had I am not sure it would have changes anything.

This is our 4th Dc winter race. Last year we ony got in one. So if it in the 50s and dry. Im skating.

Its all about setting expectations. Noah is too new at this to have it down. Ohm , Davemo, LBK and myself have it wired.

Rene Hayden · Post by **Rene Hayden** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 6:44 am

Oh, yeah, it's bogus...

but trying to weasel your way out of spending the one day that you're "supposed" to spend with your gal or guy to go do the shimmy for 5 hours with a bunch of ne'er do wells...

doesn't look too good.

And my wife is one of the ones that doesn't go for V-day much, either.

oh, well, maybe I'll see y'all out there. If not, next time.

Rene.

Danny Crawford · Post by **Danny Crawford** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 5:24 am
