Jakethesnake, It's all very real and you'll get a chance to check it out on December 10th when we have our Surfrider Foundation fundraiser/Steve Olson art show. Of course, that's preceeded by Ohm's Backwoods Blast. So eat well and get plenty of rest, cause it's on.

Fight Club sucks
Fight Club sucks
FC is a state of mind.....
Fight Club is a sketchy bowl in a sketchy warehouse in a sketchy alley. You'll walk away smelling of bliss and blood. Last night we had Ray Barbee, Lance Mountain and Bob Burnquist show up with a posse of 25! Sick, sick night of riding. Locals Ben A, Tommy Alabama, Jesus and FastasFu*k were on fire....
D of C
There are plenty of options. The embassy area is best at night but can be run in the day as well. I guess Anacostia is out of the question but that's a good place for daylight riding. Cruising around the mall is fun but not death-defying, if that's what you're looking for. Keep me posted. I love pla...

runout
Both courses are part of a loop. Kind of a parabolic slice. Slalom side is the left side with the runout taking you a good way back up the downhill side, which is the right side, and visa versa. If you have back issues of Concrete Wave, check out the one with Eric Dressen on the cover. There are sho...

front/back
WT, I imagine they're racing slalom on the front hill and downhill on the back. Slalom on the back hill would be pretty heavy, though BP and Ohm seem to have gotten a little crazier of late. Don't put anything past them. Come anyway. You can wear my leathers!
