Wesley-

Deerfield is Co-ed.

Currently, there are 292 reasons for you to drive up.

Just dress respectable-like!

Is Deerfield an all-male school or is there reason for me to consider driving up?

Henry,

Let me know when and where and I'll be there!! I may not be a master, but I think it would be a good time.

Brian

Glenn-

Yes I have run cones at school in the exact same spot that I am planning on holding the clinic. It was very cool- eveyone avoided my cones when driving by and a couple of kids tried the course. I never really told anyone i was running cones and foot traffic is nil behind the library. this spring I will pread the word more though!

Joe-

I will talk to people next week. I will let everyone know what's going on ASAP!
what coast?

Henry,
Have you been able to ever put down cones for practice on the campus yet, and it was cool?

Henry, I'd be interested if it were feasable for me to make the trek. Send me some more info as you get it.

If I'm available it would be a lot of fun. I'm sure others would also like to help out and the idea is a great way to build the sport.

This spring I would like to hold a slalom clinic at my school, Deerfield Academy. I have not talked to any of the deans about this yet, but I am planning to do so when it warms up (there is still 2 feet of snow outside and it's about 2 deg.) I am on their good side so I'm sure getting the OK will be easy.

Who would be interested in helping me make this a reality? Basically, I need instructors and boards so the kids can try out different brands. A timer would be great too, so we could run a simple dual and friends could race against each other.
I have a decent hill behind the library that should serve us well.

This will be a good event because, basically, a lot of these kids here have deep pockets and if they get into slalom they wouldn't hesitate to get a Pistol or a Roe (or an ICK!) right off the bat. Hell, an Hermès tie costs 110 bucks so 160 for a fibreflex or a comet complete is nothing.

So you sort of get what I am saying. A lot of kids already have longboards here and the popular thing to do is go fast and pull a bertleman in front of the ladies.
