ISSA - International Slalom Skateboarding Association

It's official...so get your racing Halloween costume ready as you must race in costume....there WILL be a 10-second penalty if you don't race in costume(and you cannot race as yourself,even if you are scary looking). Lansdowne Skate Park will open at 10am on Saturday Oct 29th. There will be 2 events: Firstly, a Halloween costume contest where you must be able to roll past the judges. Secondly, a banked park slalom race where you must race in costume(so wear something in which you can skate around. Helmet and elbow and knee pads are required by all skaters. Waivers must be signed by parents of all skaters 17 or younger years old...no exceptions. Contest is free of charge. Skatepark of Baltimore and Surfrider Foundation, Capitol Chapter volunteers will judge and run contest. Cabbage & myself will set a new, different course than the last one. Come on out and have some fun.....bring some swag if any of you have any connections....all donations for prizes will be gladly accepted and donees will be recognized at the presentations of the awards. This race will be held on the concrete skate park...the rest of the skate park(modular) will remain open during event. This event is officially sanctioned by the Baltimore County Parks & Recreation. Be there unless you are square!

Who is not square and planning to be there besides myself?

I will be there even though I just DQed each time at the last one. But I have been practicing, so hopefully I wont embarass myself as much this time.

HeyGilbert.....make sure your friends and family come in costume too!

ill try my best John, we all know i will be. maybe ill go as duane peters, what do you think?
hahahahahahhaha

i'm going as Gibert. now where is my 80's denim skate jacket!?!?

It's good to see you coming back, Colin....this course will be different for everyone...it should be a bit easier but also faster...see you there.

Nino if you go as me that means you gotta be as slow and as hung over as i usually am at our races. hahahahahha

He's been working on that, Gilbert.....he blew off another Sunday morn free session at Arlington last Sunday....now that he's 21, he's practicing for Halloween.

AHAHAHAHA man Nino, missin sessions, next thing you know you'll be smokin in btween runs, sittin down alot, trading drunk stories with PA Dan. oh wait thats me again. hahahaha

I'm hoping to get a pass...

Don't think I'll race (just got my cast off from last race's warmup mishap)

Will be glad to help officiate/conehead/judge/whatever...

Q

Waivers.... get your waivers here.....

Here's a link to the waiver for skating at lansdowne:
http://resources.co.ba.md.us/Documents/ ... waiver.pdf

If you are a minor, you need a parent present to fill out that form, or you can get it notarized.

Q

Hey if you guys get done with this and want to bring the party to VA to see my band play at 9:30pm at Jammin Java in Vienna, Virginia that would be great. Alcohol will be served but no smoking in the joint. I personally cant make it to anything during the day cuz I have marching band states and then I'll go straight to my gig to set up and warm up and sound check everything. But if your looking to see three good power metal bands come out and support us. Its only 9 bucks to get in (ITS A STEAL) have a good time at the downer and please take pictures for me to laugh at later.

I'll see all of you in costume on Saturday....who is bringing coffee? Ohm? Geezer-X? Hey, you NJ guys: Noah or Sensei bring us some of those delicious bagels from up north!

Dillon,
Trying to negotiate my pass... What time do you expect things to start and end???

Q

yeah I hope it can move faster then last time , I know i plan on living up to that....

Dillon posted 1pm start on BDS forum...

Super funny day, had a blast with everyone today. Thanks a ton John Dillon for putting on another fun event. Thanks to all the people who helped, and everyone that came out. It must suck to have to tell people you were beat by the guy with the tutu.hahahahaha

which reminds me anyone that has photos (Q) please send em to me or post a link or something. Who shot the video? need to get a photo to send olson... anyhow thanks again, and you boys need to get faster.hahaha Thinking back I really thought the course was rad, definately what banked slalom is all about. Well see you all soon again I hope, till then keep sk8ing.

sk8 arOund walls,

cabbaGe


oh yeah I appoligize to all that had to see something more then they needed to. Wardrobe Malfunction. S@#$ Happens!!!

photos photos please

great course and race on saturday. A big thanks to Dillon for putting it all together. The course was rad, even though i couldnt get through it. Sorry i couldnt stay till the end

speaking of the above "malfuction", no one should ever have to see a grown man duct tape his own nuggets to his leg while he has a tutu on. its just not right.

its called Punk Rock.....you know you loved it Duane

cabbage won only because of the aerodynamics of the 'unitard'.

hahahaha you have a point cabbage, but christ man there were kids around. hahahahhaa

Thanks Team Fun for holding the race at the Downer! Cabbage set an insane course this time. Still can't take down the King of Landsdowne. Congratulations Cabbage.

Mucho thanks to Mr. Dillon for putting on a great event and for being so friendly. Couldnt get though the course but Im already looking forward to the next one.
