Just got off the phone w/ Anthony Smallwood, he is full into the idea of the DC slalom crew merging into the DC Downhill Club (DCDC). This will be one heck of a momentum builder for both the slalom and downhill speedboarding scene in the greater Washington DC area!

We could make it a loosely organized group of skateboarders and friends that support skateboarding in our area. Members...

Likely a good spot for windy days. - Also after thinking about it, the surface is a solid 2 out of 5. Might even be able to use a slighty harder wheel up front. Me and Steeb were cruising it on 78a Kryps Classics and no names. Those small wheels did ok and Flashbacks or the like would run well there.
