Re: Criddling vs missing cones
I tried to Criddle a cone while racing in La Costa II and missed the damn thing, DQing myself for the day.

[FCR 2003] La Costa Open 2003
I talked to Dennis Shufeldt (LC 2002) at the last event and both he and I agreed that this event takes so much time that the hosting should really be handed off to a new person each year. Both of us came up with Steve (and Brigg) Sherman for this year. I know it's putting a guy on the spot but with ...

<i>Not answering all the questions...</i> I always thought that the Euros were faster on any course under 6' and that we were faster on anything else. Again, I repeat, Jim Korten was the best TS skater I've ever encountered. As for GS, I'd say that Gary Cross, Bob Skoldberg, Chicken and John Hutson ...

Really good question. BTW, I knew Atilla was that slow all along. Yeah right. I agree with TK, run one big fat qualifying round and then split the boys and girls into two groups of 32 or 16 (if the field is light). Just like LC1. A-Pro Points could be twice B-Pro points. Qualify for the B group and ...

Now that sounds like a fun event. Mixed up, a little confusing but plenty of runs. I think we put too much weight on qualifying. Dual action is fun but you're right. Seed 1 vs. seed 32 is just boring. Maysey, how many times did I race Chicken. I know how you feel. Don't forget, someday we may be abl...

Remember how we split up the classes at the first La Costa race? Timed runs. Instead of the current Pro/Open structure, we presented A Pro and B Pro. That way, everybody got to call himself or herself Pro and we were able to have two man-on-man money events based on how the skaters were doing that d...

Hey, I had to race that little punk from Turner. What's his name? Dylan. That's it. I gave him 20 cones, I think. Never came close to catching up to him but I was able to make plenty of noise and scare him a little. Handicapping can be fun but you've really got to intimidate your competitor. They've...

Point taken. However, most of the fun in Slalom racing is in whatever strategy you can gleam from it. Learning to run the cones, the technique and the skill set involved is pretty much a given. It's fun. The real fun comes from your head like... when you're on the starting ramp for one last chance, ...

JG, after reading your post, I must agree 100%. There are elements of spectator appeal but as you said... It's got to look impossible (TS), it's got to be up close and personal (TS) and it's got to be sexy (you). Why we keep our spectators on the curb is beyond me. I know there is nothing in the ins...

To me, Slalom Skateboarding is more of a participant sport than a spectator sport. We leave no wake or spray trail and the "flow factor" is very hard to capture on film. Extreme. Not. Most of the guys that race are in their mid 30s'. I think, if you look closer to the past, you might find the future...
