Eddy - I've talked to Lisa about the same issues, she is confident on hills, not so confident on technical courses. Byron Hall was a complete slalom newbie prior to last years race, and he conquered Trade Street. Specific skills such as "turning early" on big gs courses, should be on the menu at grass roots races.

The hill isn't nearly as death defying as I might have implied, please withhold judgement until I actually post a photo (and have a chance to skate it) - remember, I may not even receive permission for this hill (though Trade Street is a lock for next years Friday evening and Saturday qualifying).

I would agree with Rick that it is the course at speed more than just the speed, and if that is taken into account then those of us with no hills (like me) can still do it. But I would like to see the hill too.

Damm cantinas have been the downfall of many a slalomskateboarder. 66 you know that you can count on us Outlaws being there. Our sport will continue to grow in 2005. We can only move forward in a positive direction. Eddy Texas Outlaws.

Yhea but Eddy you do drink in a CANTina :>

That being said I think that A: a course at that the both classes would be what I would vote for too. I thought the GRS was with newbies in mind. and B: Two courses would be OK with me too, and most importantly C: The call should be Rick's, after all is is HIS race.

I will make the course dude.That much I promise you. And I will hit some hills. Doesn't change the fact that I am craving Tower Grove Park!!!!! You more than anyone and your crew have piled into a truck and driven for hours just to get to a slalom event. Why? It is that type of enthusiasm that has kept GRS events alive.

I was talking to Lisa Woodward my slalom sister yesterday. One of the reasons she said that she is not attending some of the Elite races next year is because the competition has become tougher and the courses are more difficult. Both of us agreed that we have alot of fun at GRS events. Let us not forget that we are the Grassroots Slalom Circuit. The courses are made so that both an amatuer and an Elite racer can make the course. Ricky Byrd is my favorite course setter by far,PSR and Mike Ohm can also set a challenging yet fair course. I attend slalom races because I have alot of fun at them. I am allways am stoked just to be there amongst my friends. I need to practice alot more, that much I know. But I don't want to travel half way across the country to munch it on the street and come back home wearing a cast on a bodypart. And sit out the rest of the slalom season. I know that every time I come off the starting ramp there is a chance that I can hurt myself, that is a choice that I have made. Luna Slalom Jam has eluded me for 2 years now,but I'll be back in 2005, this year I am bringing some new blood to the event, we are driving 14 hours to get there,but it is worth it. I still have a craving for Tower Grove Park in ST Louis. Red Clay through a great race this year, even some fellows who had never slalomed, gave it a try. The Gathering was a great experience. Grassroots must not lose its way. I will do my best to promote GrassRootSlalom in 2005, supporting GrassRootsSlalom how? By attending as many GRS events as possible and to attract new racers to the sport that I love. by hosting our own slalom contest in Texas GRS must continue to grow. Racers should not be turned away or imtimidated from a slalom event, GRS is about making all racers feel welcome. Your Amigo Eddy Texas Outlaws

This street doesn't sound consistant with what we had discussed about your views of racing in your series for 2005.

Care to comment on why you would throw a hill like the top of La Costa in a series billed as am with courses anyone can make? Not that I wouldn't love to race on it, but...

looks like that.
i think i have read that a few days ago,too
that must have been cologne in 03,ist that right?
the "new breed" started this spring,so we can't really reflect on that.the only thing i noticed is that this contest was pretty much "virgin" to say so.
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

The Germans did an AM slalom comp in 1993 (?) - don't kill me Corky if I'm off a bit- and the pro division was called "elite".

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Mon Nov 22, 2004 7:07 pm

absolutely right corky
5 days per week at least 1 hour in the gym,pumping iron and aerobic training.skating 2-3 times a week.
you know that us germans are very hungry for next year.
paul p. told me that he drastically reduced his beer drinking and smoking habits and as far as i know he really spent the off season time surfing and getting into shape til now.during wintertime you can catch him in austria teaching snowboard lessons.
i think you will all see a different paul next year...

jadranko,fun was had in wv.i plan on athens too.it was the shit last year.as far as the freak bros. training plan it revolves more around shaping than getting in shape.bring it.cf

I've got the feeling there are a lot of people trying to get in shape physically for next season. Ha,ha this is really funny. Who would think that slalom would make people get so serious. I'm convinced next season will have a more athletic field. Be prepared everyone!

Hi Rick,

I'm planing to come over next year in April. But this time only for the race. I have to go after to Hawai for one week surfing !!!

And this time, i will come with my big sister !!!!!!!!
She's the shit... Or is she shit ???

I will practice in the snow, i can see the white mountains from my home. I would like to show you a picture, but my photcamera is somewhere in the US.

I do a practice plan. One time a week playing squash, one time in the fitnesscenter and one time soccer training. I will be ready for next year !!

Cheers Jadranko
