I know you're a better person than this.

The FCR ramps are in the possession of John Krisik or Don O'shei.

The Radikal start ramp trailer is 100% new.

Rumour has it that Morro Bay Blvd. ( this is the street that intersects Main Street just past the TS finish line ) is going to be repaved in spring 2005. Steeper than Main, as long as Pacific Street. Standing in the gates with a great view of the Pacific Ocean. There will also be other venues during...

In the USA we have had poorly run regional slalom contests for years.

What era are you talking John? What region? How many "regional" contests did you attend during that time?

I'm just curious.

Jack Smith

Hi Vincent,

I knew you were joking, no offense was taken. Now if Corky would have counted the JPL race I won last year I may have been ranked even higher.

Just kidding...

Have fun!

Jack

Jack Smith

Vincent...relax

Cambria Calling was nothing more than a fun weekend race. I have no idea why it was included in the rankings. Did it actually effect the rankings in any way? I can't believe it did.

I didn't "own" this site at the time of the event.

Hi Mark,

Our host's server crashed and lost everything. They are in the process of data recovery. Should be up soon.

Thanks for asking.

Hey Vlad,

My friend Bill Boothbe is going to help me get started with some carving this winter. I'm stoked.

Jack

Jack Smith

Chris and Corky, I respectfuly disagree with you. It is possible to name a "Rookie of the Year". Our sport needs to establish the criteria that defines a Rookie. The criteria could be endlessly debated on this site and others. This is something the ISSA could address, the "Rookie" criteria could be ...

Jack Smith

This discussion is good, we are moving forward. Pierre, the $600 is what I paid for the site. I have donated many thousands of dollars towards promoting slalom, and no I'm not rich. I cannot afford to just eat the $600. I will however contribute $100 as Jani suggested. I would love to see Pierre inv...

Jack Smith

I agree the site needs to be updated. I do not have the time or energy to do it. Plus, I would probably screw it up if I tried to change the front page. I do find it interesting that when I bought the name and site there was all this discussion about how it should be owned by a group/community, and ...

I like the idea of a Rookie of the Year Award. I would like to see some type of criteria developed before a vote is taken. What's cool about slalom is that we as racers get to choose, in other sports it's usually the press. For example, in baseball I think it's the baseball writer's who vote and mak...

Corky and all who have helped with www.slalomranking.com ...Thank you!

I just now took a look at the site...WOW!

I love it. Please keep up the great work.

Here is a link to the OP World Championships of Skateboard Racing Results (.pdfs). On Saturday during the head to head racing, the timing system was incorrectly quadrupling the false start penalty and adding it to the racer's time. In the race between Kenny Mollica and Richy Carrasco in the round of...

Hi Peter,

It was great to meet you at Morro, even though we didn't get a chance to talk all that much.

Count Bahne and justpushplay.com in as a sponsor for the 2005 Euro Championships.

Keep up the good work!

Jack

Yes, I am looking for someone such as Jani to take over the administration of this site. I have too many other projects happening at the moment. I have no desire to make a profit on the transfer of the site to another person or persons. Please contact me if you are interested. Thanks. I love slalom.

Dan Gesmer will post race result .pdfs as soon as possible, he is swamped with real job/real world responibilities at the moment.

Jeff,

I was 11 years old in 1967. I think the big song that summer was "Monday, Monday" by the Mamas and Papas.

I like all kinds of new things, punk is not new.

Only dirt is older than I am.

See you soon, bro (70's speak).

JS

Jack Smith

Goad,

Skateboarding may be punk rock to you, it isn't to me. Maybe it's a generational thing, when I started skating, punk didn't exist.

Registration is now closed for all events at The World Championships of Skateboard Racing.

See you soon.

Hi Leonardo,

Thanks for the update! The show has been aired all over the World in the last six months...except in America. Hopefully soon.

So far over $20,000 has been raised for Lowe Syndrome research.

I look forward to skating with you someday.

Jack

If anyone is interested in taking over the ownership and administration of this site please contact me.

After quite a bit of thought I have come to the conclusion that I cannot devote the proper amount of time neede to keep this site growing.

Thanks,
Jack

Hey, I just made up that stuff about insurance...just kidding. Speaking og golf, Davis Love III ordered a couple of snowboarding DVDs from me a couple of weeks ago, he rides. It was kind of cool watching him in the Ryder Cup a few days later. We've exchanged a few emails...cool guy. Gilmour is a law...

Jack Smith

JG - The NHL is on the verge of going bankrupt. LOL.

It's 11:21pm here in Morro and we just had a fairly moderate eathquake. Gave Maurine and I a scare.

Jack Smith

Talent? Let's see...I won JPL one time ( a small field), took the cash. Am I pro? I won some local races back in the 70's...took the cash. Am I pro? I couldn't even qualify for the "B" class at Breck. Am I Amatuer? Or maybe something less? If I were to race at Morro and had the option to choose, the...

Jack Smith

Chris...Please don't give me the "deaf ears" crap. Morro, Breck and La Costa, great races...yes - not maybe. There are no pro slalom racers. There are racers who take cash prizes. There are racers who are faster than others. There are no pro slalom racers. I think it's great that you support regiona...

Jack Smith

Martin, Send me a check for $5,000 to pay the insurance premium that is required for a Pro/Am race and I will gladly make the change. Out of the 109 racers who have signed up on NCDSA almost 85 have paid. I have emails from others who are planning to pay before the deadline. Martin, please be honest...

I sent out an email update to all the World's official and non-official entrants today. If you did not receive one it's because I do not have your email address. Please send me your email address if you would like to receive the update. There will be a few more before the event.

Thanks,

Each racer will receive TWO warm-up runs. Cones will be in place for the entire practice. There will be an officia...

Adrian, Bill and I went out to the Super G site yesterday (no we didn't skate it), and measured the course so you folks will have an idea of what it is like. The road is 21 feet wide. The overall length from start to finish is 2,460 feet. The "distance down" is just as it sounds, the distance down t...

Jack Smith

Paul, I agree that this is a tough call. What is a Pro slalom racer? Someone who calls himself that? Someone who accepts money in the form of cash prizes or monthly/yearly salary? Just because a racer receives product from a manu doesn't make him a pro. Josh Byrd and Dylan Gordon both receive free g...

We had a great session at the Cambria hill yesterday. The best part was that we had seven racers under the age of 14. These kids are stoked. All of them will be racing at the World Championships of Skateboard Racing. Bill Boothbe made most of the decks the kids were riding. One kid was on a classic ...

Hey Vlad, thanks for the update. Watched the whole clip, really enjoyed it.
What park were you skating in?

Jack Smith

Why would you think that Bush wouldn't embrace slalom? I do know he is a sports fan, yes, he probably leans more to traditional sports like baseball and football. And as the press keeps bringing up every chance they get, he doesn't have the greatest balance in the world. So who knows, he might have ...

Jack Smith

Johnny Boy, You know the saying about assumptions... I find the below statement amazing, coming from someone as intelligent and fair as you are. "I don't think I would have expected the same treatment from the Bush family- I'd expect to get kicked off my slalom spot." To think that someone cannot ap...

Hi Aaron,

The classes have not changed.

The Red Clay award will be given to the fastest racer "under 18".

We will use combined "best" qualifying times from the slalom and tight slalom to determine the winner of the savings bond.

A big thanks to <B>Red Clay Racing</B> who is donating a $100 savings bond to the fastest 18 & under racer at the Worlds.

Thanks Rick!

Why I bought this site...because I enjoy slalom skateboarding and want to see it continue to grow. My purchase of the domain from Adam seems to have opened a big can of worms.
