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....

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.

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.

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" ?

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!

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!!!!!!!!

Weekend
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.

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.
This Weekend
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....

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.

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.

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.

racy
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

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.

V-Day
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.
