Emerging Virginia Beach /Southeast Va. Slalom Scene & Ra
Posted: Tue Aug 07, 2007 7:42 am
I was looking at the VB locals forum on the Silverfish Longboarding website and the guys on there are talking about getting together to run some cones this coming Sunday the 12th.
I am going to email some of the guys tomorrow about this to see if its a definite go and get an estimate of how many guys will be there.
If its a go for running cones perhaps some of the DC Outlaw crew might want to take a little drive down south to show the boys how its done. Like I mentioned to some of the DC crew at this past Sunday's race that the slalom community here is an emerging one but those guys got together and put together a race which was held on a Wednesday morning just recently and they had 25 guys show up to race which in my opinion is pretty freaking impressive for a first time race.
Regardless if they do decide to race on Sunday down here I will definitely attend and I will drag Aaron out and brush the cobwebs and dust off of him.
Where these guys are racing is a place in Chesapeake Virginia heading towards the Outer Banks and its a road overpass thats not in use. They have some You tube video and I will add a few so you can get an idea of where they are riding. The video only show some guys sliding around on longboards , I read where on the forum that they accidentally erased the video of the slalom footage.
