DC Sessions

I'll be there to take pictures and shoot video if it doesn't rain. I don't think getting up before 11 AM is on the Sunday's agenda. How about noon, boyz?
See all of you there. Kisses.

Vlad--around what time? I live just down the road, so maybe I'll come by with my crappy old longboard, if that's cool... I have a couple of semi-pumpable shorter setups if that's what you plan on running, although they are all pool boards. Regardless, I can also go check conditions if need be.

Cheers, Rene.

Wes you may want to put a piece of plastic(lunch baggies) over the cut with some tape then add your knee pad.

It will keep in cleaner with less chance of infection as well allow the knee pads to move freely without causing pain or friction on the wounded area.

It will also allow it to heal quicker.

Hey Anthony,

I'll probably be at RFK Lots and thereabouts this Sunday around 7 or 8 PM or so farting around, depending on the thunderstorm and rain situation, and how dilly-dallying my bartender friends are (those dilly-dallyers). Probably a crew of newbies along as well, but, alas, no slalom unless somebody with cones shows up. I'm sure your street skater son will be very impressed with my 4-trick abilities. Only "slalom" board I own is a 44" Fibreflex kick. Only slalom I've ever done was twice (sort of). LBK? Interested in checking RFK out?

Welp, I was kind of leery of putting a knee pad over my scabbed knee, but what can ya do. John Dillon and I are riding the 4:45-6:45 session at Vans today. After he goes home, I’ll probably start conditioning the employees to slalom, by riding outside the fence for a few hours.

Anthony Smallwood · Post by **Anthony Smallwood** » Sat May 10, 2003 7:01 pm

Is anyone riding on Sunday at RFK? I have my 13 year old son staying with me in town this weekend and I want to expose him to slalom. He actually mentioned a while back that he wanted to try slalom. I didn't know WHERE that came from, then I heard they had a small slalom segment on the new Tony Hawk Playstation 4...oh well, it's a start. I must brag, by the way, that my son took his first pool run in the deep pool @ Van's Thursday. He rolled in from the shallow end and got about 6-7 feet up the wall and pulled a clean backside kickturn. He's always been the typical flip-stick-anti-trannie kid and our last session was all about the walls. I think he understands. Proud papa indeed! I can be reached at 202-607-1495

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Sat May 10, 2003 12:36 pm

As suspected, the ground in the DC area is all wet this morning. If anyone has a covered practice spot, I am all about riding today, flat slalom or whatever, as long as it’s dry. Please give me a call if you would like to share.

If anyone is in outer NW DC, please investigate the bust-factor and pavement quality of the parking garage at 48th & Yuma St (and any others nearby too), in the Spring Valley area.

NOAA says dense fog in the morning. I’m not sure whether that will make the pavement slippery or not. I think it will be wet, actually.

If I were planning to skate at RFK, I would probably want to share a ride there with someone. With such a sketchy neighborHood - the fewer cars there to keep track of, the better.

Sounds like Vlad had a good time yesterday on the wet.

Does anyone want to ride today? Should be dry at P&R.

Vlad, did you ever get Brian's timer?

I got there a little before noon (if I was in the right place)saw nobody. Waited about an hour and left. The pavement was almost dry but the wind had picked up. It might have been hard keeping the cones upright.

David Riordon · Post by **David Riordon** » Sat Apr 19, 2003 5:58 am

Vlad and the rest of the DC Crew,

Looks like it will be raining early Saturday (April 19, 2003) so while you slalom punks are waiting for the P&R to dry up, I'll running a Surfrider Event from 9am to Noon. The Washington DC Chapter of Surfrider will be picking up trash as part of the Earth Day Four Mile Run Watershed Cleanup Project at the Barcroft Park in Arlington,VA 9am - Noon.

Might see you guys later in the day at P&R if the sun comes out.

Guys, I will not be able to skate on Saturday. If you guys want to use my timer, give me a call and I will try to meet one of you somewhere to drop it off. Family obligations are keeping me from ripping this weekend...Have fun. I will see you guys at the Outlaw race on the 26th.

Just to reiterate what I think Andy is saying. Don’t do anything to jeopardize the one legitimate spot we have. Every time someone says they are going to skate at the Gathering site. I am a little bit concerned. It will only take one screw up and we could lose this primo spot. It’s a little more of a sensitive situation than the P&R. So you freaks be on your best behavior.

Vlad... You've pre-marked the pavement at The Gathering Site?! How'd you do it? I've been specifically asked to NOT mark up the pavement there. Hmmm... I wonder whose event will get cancelled if they get pissed? Please be careful, you clever little fellow, about presuming that you can discreetly mark something. I've been using the Cardinal picnic area for four years now, and we've never marked the pavement, but they definitely know who I am. They will also definitely know what the marks are about. I'll stop now, before I start actually seeing red and have a brain hemorrage. PLEASE DON'T MESS UP THE STATE PARK GATHERING SITE. BE SMART!

Jeff Bozi · Post by **Jeff Bozi** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 4:58 am

I will be there. Had a blast last weekend, thanks Brian for stting a course, I did better on the 36"GS board in the tight stuff then I do on my weiner boards, cant wait to try in on a loose fast course.
VLAD!, I see you won a real longboard, you gonna set it up, or wack it into 2 smaller ones?
Have fun, see yall sat.

Sounds good to me too.I do not know were the gathering site is. From what understand the park and ride is at exit 10 off of 270? I hope yoall don't mind me knocking over cones. But I have to restart somewere.

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Thu Apr 17, 2003 9:21 pm

I could be up for that, Vlad. What time do you have to leave for your Saturday job?

Yeah, Vlad, that sucks. If you were wondering why I didn’t come over to hear what had happened, it’s because I had to guard Brian’s stuff, not that I didn’t care.

Vlad, smash away at he record tonight. I believe you will improve your time. The sickness you feel is nothing more than seasonal allergies. Call your doctor and get some clarinex. You and the Donganator are cyber jocks for sure. But at the Gathering I will rise up and reign upon both of you with my long wheel base torpedo. Cheers. TK

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Thu Apr 17, 2003 12:01 am

See you guys at Vans. I'll be there after 9.

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Wed Apr 16, 2003 11:12 pm

OK I will be there a little before 9. I want to try my Bahne 48inch longboard in the pool.

Anyone wanting to ride Vans tonight??? Vlad?? WesE??

Where's LBK? Slappy?

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Wed Apr 16, 2003 4:28 am

Vlad, there is a new manager at Vans that might need some coaxing to allow us to ride there. She was screaming at some kids for skating there last time I was there. Whoever (and however you) got us permission the last time, please let us know how to go about this again.

So, are people going to the G-P&R today?

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 7:00 am

Anyone want to practice slalom on Saturday (today)? I really want to, up until at least early evening. I need to get out of the house and I can’t think of a better activity to be doing on a 65f degree Spring day. NW winds 10-20 mph, so maybe it could be Fountainhead, but I’ll ride wherever.

Jeff Bozi · Post by **Jeff Bozi** » Fri Apr 11, 2003 5:00 am

A road trip in a CAR to Mississippi? Didnt you guys see My cousin Vinnie?

Michel Temoche · Post by **Michel Temoche** » Fri Apr 11, 2003 3:07 am

I'll be in OC all weekend. I can make it back around 3:00pm sunday to either P&R or Seneca.

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 10:47 pm

Brian, I’m working on it. I’ll have a decision by tonight at the Vans Park. We’ll HAVE TO ride that spot in Tenn though (that is my requirement:) But go ahead and get your plane ticket if it’s a good time to do so.

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 3:31 pm

Bozi, I am trying to work out a way to get to Mississippi for Rickys race but if I can't get down south I will be all for riding this weekend.

I am trying to get WesE or John Dillon to talk me into making a marithon road trip session if I can not find a last minute plane ticket. If there are any other half baked slalom racers that would be interested in this car pool drop me an email.

I will keep you updated.

Vlad, I will be at Vans tonight for the 9-11

Jeff Bozi · Post by **Jeff Bozi** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 4:31 am

Hey all, Steve Prue is coming through DC on sunday, Im gonna met him for lunch I think. Is anyone planning on being at P&R or Gathering spot at Seneca this sunday? I know he just got a new slalom rig & god knows Id like to practice sucking some more.

Thanks, Jeff

I can slalom tonight but I can’t get to the Vans Park until somewhat after 9pm. Leave a message at my cell phone number sometime before 8:30pm if you want to practice with me. Or, for me, there is always tomorrow night.

Vlad, work is draining me as well as daylight savings time. I still can't find the hour we lost. It will be a game time decision for wednesday night.
