I want this Fall/Winter Outlaw series to be bigger than our previous races so I dont want to get off on the wrong foot by having these schedule conflicts. Brian, you didn't create this conflict. Someone else did. I don't feel that it is your responsibility to adjust your schedule to solve a problem...

JD, October 2nd is the first race of: DC Winter Outlaw Series October 2nd – Park and Ride October 30th – Banked Slalom at Landsdown November 13th - Park and Ride December 4th - Park and Ride December 11th – Park and Ride/Rain Date December 18th – Park and Ride/Rain Date Can you pick another date?

Kevin M. Gamble

Jack, I think we should allow both types. If we're doing single lane jam format, just run 'em all, and sort out the GS vs LS into two groups at the end. If we would do this, it then becomes important to specify AND ADHERE TO a strict axle-axle dimension to define a longboard (over 30" was the old cr...

Kevin M. Gamble

Backstops or no backstops, doesn't matter to me. I think a racer should be able to deal with whatever starting format the organizer decides to implement. The ramps at the Farm had backstops, only mahogany instead of neoprene. I think that rain dates are a no-brainer; always set a rain date. Your cha...

Having attended all of the Farm vintage races, I enjoyed the 2004 vintage race most. I think the pre-1978 rule helped to emphasize the "vintage" rather than the "race" spirit of the event, and really seemed to increase the level of enjoyment and entertainment had by racers and spectators alike. Extr...

Our DC Outlaw Staff Meteorologist, WesE has spoken. My hotel reservations are made. I'll be there early, with Brian's timer. If more people could show up earlier, it would help to get things moving.

Kevin M. Gamble

Any farmers have pics of this old skater on the hybrid course? The wife has a digital cam, but she's usually busy with timing and recording and can't take the time for snapshots.

Thanks,

Don't forget that Brian's next DC Summer Outlaw event is scheduled for this Saturday (August 14th) at the Park and Ride.

Kevin M. Gamble

Attention DC slalom skaters, This coming Saturday is the next of Brian Parsons' DC Summer Outlaw events. No more excuses; time to skate at the Park and Ride! Slappy? LBK? John Dillon? Rene? GBJ? All of the Gaithersburg Open slalomers!!! There's nothin' to sign-up for, just show up. Normally, Brian r...

Kevin M. Gamble

Just to be clear, the next race at the Gaithersburg Park and Ride is not another Gaithersburg Open event. The next event is part of the DC Summer Outlaw series being run by Brian Parsons. The 2 Gaithersburg Open events were held by the Pennsylvania Slalom Skateboarders to fill in a gap in the DC Sum...

Kevin M. Gamble

Yvonne, Dan, and I arrived early (8:30) at the Park and Ride to try to get things running before the threatening skies opened up on us. We set the GS course, and had the timer set up before 10:00. At that point, we 3 were still the only ones in the parking lot, and it was starting to look like a 2 m...

Jack,
Here is the thread for the first Gaithersburg Open slalom event on July 10th.

It's all dry here at the Gaithersburg Holiday Inn at 6:40AM, overcast with a nice breeze. Yvonne and I will be at the Park and Ride between 8:30 and 9:00 to start setting up.

Kevin M. Gamble

Well, So far, I think we are still a GO for tomorrow. The National Weather Service is predicting " A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high around 80. North wind between 9 and 14 mph. " Sunday looks about the same. Obviously, a zero percent chance of rain would be...

Kevin M. Gamble

Just a thought, Jack. If you are really interested in getting more involved with slalom skateboarding, you should stick around for both events. The hybrid slalom will give you a better idea of what the sport is all about. There will be plenty of equipment for you to try out, and that will give you a...

Kevin M. Gamble

Well, its been 1 week since the first Gaithersburg Open, and the second event in the Gaithersburg Open Slalom Series is 1 week away. Once again, setup will be at 9:00AM, GS practice ("run what you brung", no wheelbase limitations) will start at 10:00. Racing commences at 11:00. Helmets are required,...

Kevin M. Gamble

Wesley,
Gaithersburg Open #2, or the Farm?
Why not both?

Kevin M. Gamble

I dunno Danny boy.........mebbe dat dere yungin Wesley is jus too plain skeerd to race a kuppla damn Yankees!!

Kevin M. Gamble

Yeah, but I'm feeling much better now....................and always faster than you, ya young whipper-snapper. Oops, maybe I should have posted that in the dark side thread. Why don't you just drive up to Gaithersburg on the 24th and we'll see who's slower.

Kevin M. Gamble

Age limits are just another form of copping out. I don't want special compensation just because I'm going to be 49 this year.

Kevin M. Gamble

Well, first of all I'd like to thank PaDan , Yvonne , BrianP , Jeff Boswell , and WesE for their individual contributions and help running this event. Dan is too humble, he was a big part of this event. Plus, he won both races! And thanks to the local police department for not putting us in jail. Se...

Kevin M. Gamble

The first event in the Gaithersburg Open Slalom Series is ON! The weather forecast looks great, and the Pennsylvania Slalom Skateboarders are ready to race. GS practice ("run what you brung", no wheelbase limitations) will start at 10:00 Saturday morning at the Gaithersburg Park and Ride. Racing com...

Kevin M. Gamble

Only 1 week till the first Gaithersburg Open Slalom race. Thanks to Brian P for providing the timing system. Thanks in advance to Yvonne for timing and scoring. This is an outlaw event; no permits, no entry fees, no insurance. Helmets are a minimum safety requirement, pads are a pretty good idea, al...

Kevin M. Gamble

Fantastic, Brian. You are da man! Thanks from all of the Pennsylvania Slalom Skateboarders.

Kevin M. Gamble

Jeff, At this point, we still haven't completed the transfer of Brian's timer to someone in the G'burg area. There are a few different ways that could work: 1. If someone could get the timer from Brian and deliver it to the Park and Ride on the 10th at 9:00 AM. 2. If someone could get the timer from...

Kevin M. Gamble

The Pennsylvania Slalom Skateboarders need a little logistical help for the 1st event on July 10th. Yvonne and I will be driving down the Friday night before the race, and PA Dan will probably drive down early Saturday morning. But, we still need someone to help us get Brian's timer before we start ...

Kevin M. Gamble

Wes,
The last DC Summer Outlaw race was on May 15th. The June 5th race was rained-out.

Hope to see you and everyone else at the Gaithersburg Open Slalom events.

Kevin M. Gamble

Anyone have the race results from yesterday's DC Outlaw event? Couldn't be there myself but still want to hear how things went.

Kevin M. Gamble

Due to other events being scheduled in July (Checkers Bowl Series, La Costa) and individual personal commitments, there are no DC Outlaw races scheduled for July. However, for those who can't travel to California, or are not planning to skate in the Checkers Bowl Series ( http://www.checkersseries.c...

Kevin M. Gamble

Nice design. Wish I'd thought of it.

Kevin M. Gamble

Are we going to try racing this weekend, or what???? Come on, guys, it's SUMMER!!!! (not officially, but close) Let's skate. You know, while it's warm outside, no snow, no salt on the pavement............ If some people can't make it, all the more reason to have more races in July. Personally, I can...

Kevin M. Gamble

we're going to be racing again on the regular schedule in just a few weeks anyway. Back in March, when Brian first announced the race schedule, he stated: July is a busy month in the local skateboard area due to the Checkers bowl series which I am hopefully going to participate in. Consequently, he...

Kevin M. Gamble

Sorry about that, Wes. I guess you did suggest the 12th as the new race date. At least 2 of us agree to re-schedule for next Saturday.

Anyone else?

Kevin M. Gamble

Since the DC Summer Outlaw race scheduled for today didn't occur, I would like to propose that we re-schedule it for next Saturday, June 12th. The next race on Brian's original schedule is Saturday, June 26th. Postponing today's cancelled race to the 19th (instead of the 12th) places the next 2 race...

Kevin M. Gamble

Looks like a soggy Saturday either in Gaithersburg or Stahlstown, and Stahlstown is cheaper. Maybe it'll dry out in the afternoon, but I doubt it. We're staying home, cancelled hotel reservation.

Kevin M. Gamble

Kevin M. Gamble

Decisions, decisions.................... If we use the transfer, there isn't enough room to set up a second lane, and we end up using the same exact course as Mike Ohm's friday night race before T4G. If we want to run a dual race, we can't use the transfer. I like dual lane racing, but I also liked ...

Kevin M. Gamble

I'll be there at 9:00 to start setting up. If anyone else can show up at 9:00, it would be helpful, especially if you are bringing the timer or want to set a course. That's usually the time I, Yvonne, and Brian get there to start setting up. I'm assuming we'll still try to do the "run what you brung...

Kevin M. Gamble

Brian, Yvonne and I were definitely planning on attending, and I have already made our hotel reservations. I'm going to lose my deposit if the race is cancelled. The weather is looking good; all we need is a timer. I have 50 Turner cones, and could bring my 50 orange Tracker cones as well. Come on O...

Kevin M. Gamble

Seth,
It is my understanding that the deck, wheels, and trucks must be pre-1980. The bearings, truck bushings, and hardware may be current.

At Da Farm, Hyper stradas were not permitted, but Kryptonic C62's were OK.

Kevin M. Gamble

Andy and Brian, I was wondering if the beginner/junior events are still going to occur on Saturday morning? Also, is there a possibilty of a Pre-1980 vintage event? This would affect what equipment some slalomers would bring. I'd be interested to hear about any plans for the coming weekend. Thanks, ...

Kevin M. Gamble

C'mon Kevin! Who you tryin' to kid!!?? Hey Dan, I traded in my old Chevy Blazer POS for a Subaru Outback Sport. Consequently, I've had to make some interesting choices as to what equipment I can carry with me. The Leemo just fits. On the other hand, I could probably park my new ride in the back of ...

Kevin M. Gamble

Personally, I participate in the longboard races because they are there. Whatever style of slalom race is being set up, I try to participate. If it is unlimited push, so be it. 4' start box with backstops, fine with me. 30" wheelbase, cool. I feel that, to be an all-around better slalomer, I have to...

Kevin M. Gamble

John,
Sorry to hear about your teleboarding misshap. May you have a speedy recovery.

Kevin M. Gamble

And what happens if you roll on a tennisball? I've used the half tennis-ball idea when I didn't have room to take 50 cones on vacation. They work very well. When you hit or run over them, they just flatten out and pop right back, but do not get tangled in or wrapped up in the wheels. BTW, I used th...
