Those sound like my cheerleading goals for 2006.

"Bring it", cuz "it's on" girlfriend.

Don't forget the spirit fingers.

Tom Thompson · Post by **Tom Thompson** » Sun Dec 25, 2005 3:52 am

3 goals....

1. Continue being a catalyst for getting southeast slalomers together as often as possible, at least in Georgia.....

2. Win the friggin heats I know I can and should win.

3. Do it consistently.

ok, well 5....

4. To always "bring it"

5. To always be thinking "it's on"....4 and 5 are an inside joke....

Happy holidays to everyone!

Get in shape....and finally beat Gumby!

Adam Daniels · Post by **Adam Daniels** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 2:34 am

maybe not beat joe, but try to cut the gap in half....

i also want to be able to drive to more races; thats right...i said drive!

i also want to fall during a run due to pumping too hard while i have my pads on so i can show myself that its fine when you have pads....

one more goal; bomb Ball Mountain Damn and take the 360* turn at the bottom......

Sean Cunningham · Post by **Sean Cunningham** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 7:01 pm

Oh yeah, goals for 2006...

Get to some races and put this thing to work!

And double my slalom quiver from 2 to 4...

I'd say its a mixture of different colors...
A lime, in actuality, is a darker green outside, with still a very much green inside...

But I myself am guilty of calling that color a lime as well...

Or maybe its a mixture of highlighter colors...
Like this yellow...

with this green...

Or maybe its a cross between neon yellow...

and a neon green...

What the hell... Lime works for me! The wheels look awesome Chaput... I had actually just picked up some Hot Spots... but I have a feeling those will be replaced with some ZigZags!!!

Any price yet?
Or other general info?
Or is it a suprise?

You look like a 2005 racer on the top, and a 80' racer at the bottom ( deck/shoes color ! )

New zigzag ?!....

Chris Chaput · Post by **Chris Chaput** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 2:15 pm

For January 2006:

1. Get a tan, get the bags out from underneath my eyes, grow hair on my head and get back my girlish figure.

2. Convince SlalomRankings.com to consider only races held after December 16th, 2005, moving me from 44th to 1st.

3. Get all the men addicted to Retro's new slalom formula ZigZags and all the women addicted to Pink's SickSicks and Seven-O's.

The facial expression on the right cannot be viewed without instant projectile vomitosis. I get only the gag reflex from the one on the left. Trust me, it's better this way.

I'll pretend I didn't see that last bit.

Unless, of course, it involves a Duvel pouring competition.

I believe that you are one ahead at the moment due to the astonishingly successful wet-glass technique. Good that you didn't gloat too much as I poured two litres of froth across some guy's quiver and the Paris racetrack.

Oops.

And I hear that a healthy Gilmour is a scary Gilmour. At least that's what Joe I tells me.

Seriously, from the look on everyone's face when you ran cones at the Farm, it appears that your return has been highly anticipated. Go kill 06.

John Gilmour · Post by **John Gilmour** » Sat Dec 17, 2005 7:55 am

1.How is it that I'm always rehabing and never do drugs?

2. Get out of 52nd place- dropped from 3rd to 52nd. Missing one season was okay and didn't affect my points, but don't miss two- or your place will plummet.

3. I'm Getting a new knee- bone chips getting removed, cartilidge is getting cloned and injected- chiropractor, massage thereapist, Physical Therapist trainer- but no mood crystals- can't go there.

4. I must take a leave of absence from my job working for OSI Office of Scientific intelligence (it's headquarters is cleverly disguised as a Bang and Olufsen store) and start runnning cones. These new limbs should be good for 7cps.

5. To Design some new exciting gear that is so good everyone will be forced to get it.

Brian Peck · Post by **Brian Peck** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 11:17 pm

Once the spring rolls around I plan on running cones atleast 3 times a week. I have a spot in mind that I think will work very nicely, and the only way I'll ever get better is by skating.

Mike Elwood · Post by **Mike Elwood** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 8:38 am

Luv the David Byrne thing.
Until about a year ago I hadn't slalomed since around 1980 so I aint into all that "pumpin'" yet. My idea of slalom right now is to set cones about 10' apart and just get used to it again.
I suppose when you say break anything, you mean on you? As for me, I don't own any pads. And really don't intend on running that hard anyway. I retired undefeated in my little town and have no intentions of un-retiring. I just like pulling out the old Bahne alluminum deck sometimes and surfing around soccer cones I scored at a local store. But hope to have someone else enquire about the deal so another gremmie will be skateboarding something besides rails. Kids are looking for something new around my town and I get a lot of onlookers when the longboard gets used. Especially from folks aprox. my age (41). I hope to eventually get some kid who wants to skateboard, but don't like hurling him/herself down stairs etc stoked on slalom. It'll happen sooner or later. The other day some kids like 6 to 8 years old were all into riding on butts down a hill. And one of their dads was seen a couple of days later on one of those popsicle stix. He's wearing a cast now. HMMM.
I have a new Bahne Black Hill board w/ Seismic Hot spots and Gull Wing trux to break in and if a kid wants to try, I'll share the old board. It has ACS 651's w/ new Bones medium bushings and some retro looking wheels made by Daddies Board shop (that replaced the YoYo park rider 5's). A fun skateboard to sidewalk surf nowadays. I also have a 32" Comet board w/ slight kicktail that kills the hills. The Randal trux on it will soon be replaced with narrowed torsion trux and some smoother wheels. But for now it's fun to surf it 100 miles away from the ocean.
Goal for '06 is to have fun and hopefully share the stoke.

Justin Pannulla · Post by **Justin Pannulla** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 9:43 pm

My goal is to actually make it through a course without breaking anything.

My goal is to find someone in my town who will run cones with me. Then maybe they'll tell a freind and so on.

And that too!

#1. Don't screw up my back anymore so that I have to sit on the sidelines of a race like the Dixie Cup and watch. Includes cycling more and working out with weights.

#2. Practice enough that I get comfortable with my setups and trust them. Quit buying so much stuff and just practice.

#3. Beat JBird at the next race.

Goals for 2006

Grow grass roots slalom to the level that Joe/Tway/TK and Marion/DBH have done in their respectivie locations - I want a summer series

To host a race north of the border of the calibre of the ones I have attended over the past three years - to thank everyone who has shown me and the other Canadian's incredible hospitality and introduce everyone to Canada

To fix all the structural problems with my body (replacement back), train hard and have a solid competitive season

Have FUN all along the way!!!!!!

All the best,

Rob

Marion Karr · Post by **Marion Karr** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 10:29 pm

My Personal Goals for 2006:

1. Train and learn as much as I can about slalom and improve to the point where I can be competitive in the Open Class at every race I attend.

2. Develop the Dixie Cup (through the work of the DHB) into the most exciting, fun, racing event in the country for every racer that attends. This includes getting a larger sponsorship group, improved racer hospitality provisions, and improved, professionally run course management.

3. Beat Joe I. in hybrid/dual lane.

4. Help grow the Downhillbillies into a major force within skateboarding that continues to focus on inclusion and fueling the stoke of all riders attending our various events/jams and/or belong to the organization.

5. Turn as many younger skaters onto longboarding and/or slalom through jams and workshops in the community.

6. Work with the DHB in putting a proposal for a publicly funded skatepark for Statesville, North Carolina together and gaining the approval of Statesville City Council for such a project.

Got alot of work to do...the DHB in 2006 is going to totally spread the STOKE like never before!
