Jeff, sounds good to me. There has to be some good hills nearby. The only thing I ever skated in Annandale about 20 years ago was the Annandale Ramp.

Hope to see you at the first Outlaw Series Race next weekend at the G-burg P&R.

Jeff, can you post up the address of that hill in Annandale? That way I can drive by it or at least check out what it looks like via the Fairfax County web page that has property parcel maps photos from the air above it.

See the we page for yourself:

Vlad and the rest of the DC Crew, Looks like it will be raining early Saturday (April 19, 2003) so while you slalom punks are waiting for the P&R to dry up, I'll running a Surfrider Event from 9am to Noon. The Washington DC Chapter of Surfrider will be picking up trash as part of the Earth Day Four ...

The other week I got an aerial view of DC by helicopter. I took some videotape of the metro area. Other than a good bird’s eye view of RFK (place has potential), I did spot a huge empty left hand kidney pool in Great Fall, VA. Off topic but this is funny, I was out snowboarding Summit County, Colora...

RFK questions: Would the surface at RFK be safe enough to set a slalom course? If you took a fall, is it that type of surface that will draw instant blood? Is the hill wide enough to set a mellow GS wide type course for head to head longboard racing? How is the run off? Could two people coast to a s...

Cabbage,

Thanks for supporting the DC/Baltimore Slalom & Roundwall Scene. Our loss is Kona's gain! Hope to make it on down soon for some Fla crete and surf.

I would like to put on a LONGBOARD ONLY slalom race soon. My idea is to run a simplified race on an easy wide-open course. Ideally I would like to run it head-to-head with big sweeping turns. The goal is to create a course that anybody can race on, even “first timers” but fun enough for the experien...

Snowboarding isn't over just yet. Though, I did get one of my slalom boards out of the storage bin today but it didn't have any trucks or wheels on it. I'm tied up Saturday. Sunday I'll be snowboarding the last day of the season that Round Top is open. The following weekend me and Steeb are out in C...

Dave, I must agree to disagree with you on the longboard slalom class. I like the idea that guys can come out with just about any board and compete. They don’t have to worry about different board lengths and wheelbases, IF it is 30 inches or greater axel to axel it is OK. This allows for the larges...

Here are my thoughts after reading your posts regarding my post. But first of all, I have to thank Brian Parsons for having the guts to put on the past and future DC Outlaw Races. In no way should any of my comments be taken negatively on what Brian has and is doing for the DC Slalom scene and slalo...

Cabbage, I would like to see a Sidewalk Surfing Expression Session held within a three hour vicinity of Washington DC on Memorial Day Weekend 2003. No contest, just fun rides on a long ass wide-open mellow hill so people can show some style for a change. Just think of it, people like your self could...

Since the cold weather has got the DC Outlaw Race on hold, can we HEAT THINGS UP by discussing a few topics? 1. What defines a longboard for longboard slalom? Brian what are the size rules this series? Keep in mind that there are some high-tech hybrid longboards out there now but are they really lon...

Even though this is not be a pure skateboard slalom topic, it is related to slalom skateboarding. The Washington DC Chapter of Surfrider has held two banked slalom races, three longboard/vintage skateboard day events, a pool contest, and a street contest. Look for posting of future events and activi...

Too sick to make it to Vans tonight. Half-hour after Vlad phoned me, I lost my voice and I now feel like crap. I'll catch up with the crew this weekend, I hope.
