Anyone needing directions, email me: bigwheel AT eudoramail DOT com

Vlad, you’ve been there before.

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Fri Mar 14, 2003 11:16 pm

I think this the correct directions.

Take RT 29 North from I66 in Manassas. Go north about a mile or two. Turn left at sign for Bull Run regional park. Fllow signs toward the Bull Run shooting range. At the entrance to the shooting range there is a locked gate on your left. Park and walk/skate about 100 yards into the special events center.

WesE, let me know if this is not correct.

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Fri Mar 14, 2003 11:34 pm

What, you’re going to tell the world where it is, just like that!? Just kidding, Brian. Your directions are off in that the turn off of Rt29 is a right (not left), as coming from Manassas. Also, look for the locked gate before you reach the shooting facility. Here are the directions coming from the Beltway-

Take I-66 West. Exit onto Rt.29 at Centreville. Take Rt.29 out of Centreville, in the opposite direction of Fairfax, towards Manassas Battlefield Park. I think it’s called Rt.29-South. The true direction on your compass will be West. After approximately two miles, look on the right for the sign for Bull Run Regional Park and turn left (as it directs you to). (If you instead see a huge quarry on the left, you just missed the turn.) Follow this road until you come to a sharp left-hand curve. Here you will see a sign for Bull Run Regional Park. Take the road to the right of it. After crossing a bridge that goes over I-66, imediately notice the sign on the left for the Special Events Center/ Shooting Center. Turn here (left) and follow this road straight until you see a gate. Park on the side of the road, somewhere outside the gate (it is locked). This gated road is the entrance to the Special Events Center. Get all of your gear/equipment (don’t take more than you need) and walk around/under/over the gate and follow the road to the Special Events Center and the slalom hill. If you never saw the gate but instead find yourself at the shooting center, high tail it back out of there before you get shot and then when you can see I-66, the gate is on the right.

Thanks, Wes, no need to reply to my e-mail.
See you all tomorrow.

Is 11 o'clock the time?

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Sat Mar 15, 2003 5:59 pm

I guess. Dan, if you are still at home, you can call my cell fone at 1pm and I will tell you what's happening at the hill. We have to be out of there by 6pm, so use that in accordance with your decision to go there or not.

I'm up for tomorrow, just need a time. And yes, the Park and Die is a much easier drive for me than having to go through/around DC.
Do I need to bring a blower and/or broom?

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Fri Mar 21, 2003 10:06 pm

I will be there around 11-12.

I will have timer, broom, and cones.

Dan, don't listen to Vlad. The 100-cone course is not recommended for slalomers of our stature. Our superior slalom physique and mastery of the physical use of inertia does not play in our favor on the 100-cone course. To put it simply, gravity is our friend.

See you guys tomorrow.

Dan Mitchell · Post by **Dan Mitchell** » Fri Mar 21, 2003 11:30 pm

Don't worry BBB ( That could mean Big Belly Brother or Bahne Boy Brian, you choose!). With my lack of practice this winter, and lack of workouts, and smoking...well you get the picture, I'm not going to(seriously)run a 100 cone course for a while.
I will be there 10-11:00 with blower and broom.

(Homer Simpson voice)Need...more...practice...mmmm

Andy Bittner · Post by **Andy Bittner** » Sat Mar 22, 2003 12:55 am

I'm there. Need to race. Need to race REALLY bad.

David Riordon · Post by **David Riordon** » Sat Mar 22, 2003 4:17 am

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 Colorado looking for some leftover powder.

One of these days I'll be back slalom skateboarding. Now how does it go? Round each cone or is plow em over?

Andy Bittner · Post by **Andy Bittner** » Sat Mar 22, 2003 3:24 pm

As of 9 a.m., The Park and Race is still wet from last night's rain, but a stiff, dry north wind will probably dry it up pretty quickly. The problem is that the wind is blowing straight up the hill, but with a significant warm-up predicted I'd have to imagine it's going to turn around and start blowing from the south before too long. See y'all there.

Mike Ohm · Post by **Mike Ohm** » Sun Mar 23, 2003 10:36 pm

Vlad and other interested parties. I may have found a local spot for a viable 100 cone training ground. Slope is gradual surface is like Walker. It is a street but lightly traveled on Sundays. Contact me for details.

Sure, Vlad. I am up for it. It actually depends on whether my car is OKed from the garage by evening tomorrow (tiny sports cars don't jump curbs very well). I willl let you know tomorrow if I can make it or nott. Will you have Brian's timer?

I'm just going to stick a band aid on my axle so my car should be good for the day. See you there.

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Mon Mar 31, 2003 11:54 pm

Vludd, I will be there.

Ohm needs some practice after last weekend.

Did you guys book flights to MS?

I'll come if Brian (or whoever) brings his timer. Do you know if they have more than one mop at das park? I don't have any dust mops but I do have a broom. Also, that walking back to the start line stuff is lame. Can we clear the floor enough to be able to ride back?

I will be there. But I feel the need to grind coping. I will split my time between the pool and the cones.

Walker is looking very good these days. I am looking to session it this weekend. Most likely on Sunday. Any takers? You will have to get there before me if you don't want me to set one of my hectic/shitty courses.

I will be there at like 4 or 4:30. So no comments about that after I get there OK (Mike).

Vlad, work is draining me as well as daylight savings time. I still can't find the hour we lost. It will be a game time decision for wednesday night.

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Wed Apr 09, 2003 10:08 pm

Whats Up? is there a Vans session tonight?

I can slalom tonight but I can’t get to the Vans Park until somewhat after 9pm. Leave a message at my cell phone number sometime before 8:30pm if you want to practice with me. Or, for me, there is always tomorrow night.

Hey all, Steve Prue is coming through DC on sunday, Im gonna met him for lunch I think. Is anyone planning on being at P&R or Gathering spot at Seneca this sunday? I know he just got a new slalom rig & god knows Id like to practice sucking some more.

Thanks, Jeff

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 3:31 pm

Bozi, I am trying to work out a way to get to Mississippi for Rickys race but if I can't get down south I will be all for riding this weekend.

I am trying to get WesE or John Dillon to talk me into making a marithon road trip session if I can not find a last minute plane ticket. If there are any other half baked slalom racers that would be interested in this car pool drop me an email.

I will keep you updated.

Vlad, I will be at Vans tonight for the 9-11

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Thu Apr 10, 2003 10:47 pm

Brian, I’m working on it. I’ll have a decision by tonight at the Vans Park. We’ll HAVE TO ride that spot in Tenn though (that is my requirement:) But go ahead and get your plane ticket if it’s a good time to do so.

Michel Temoche · Post by **Michel Temoche** » Fri Apr 11, 2003 3:07 am

I'll be in OC all weekend. I can make it back around 3:00pm sunday to either P&R or Seneca.
