Different Sites For Spreading The Slalom Word
Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2005 9:51 pm
I've done a little sleuthing today and found the following:
http://www.SkateSC.com (South Carolina skate community)
http://www.SkateNC.com (North Carolina)
http://www.SkateTN.com (Tennessee)
And of course we already know about Georgiaskater.com and SkateMS.com (Mississippi) Each of these use PhpBB and have identical formats to SS.com (or whatever we call this site now. I'm sticking with the oldie but a goodie.)
I couldn't find anything for Alabama. If there is one, they are using some weird kind of URL that I couldn't think of for a search. Same goes for Virginia. I also know there is one for Florida, but can't think of the name (SkateFL.com doesn't work.)
Although I'm sure y'all realize these are all kickflipper sights, I'm going to make it a point that anytime we schedule a session or a race 'round here to post a notice on these other sites. As a wise man once said, "you can't spread the word if you don't spread the word." Or, words to that affect.
If promoters and enthusiasts for slalom did the same, then maybe we can stop spending so much time talking among ourselves and branch out a little into the "mainstream" of skating. There's an excellent chance we can bring in some kids and old schoolers who would love to try something different than standing around in a parking lot doing ollies and gonad smashing on stair rails. That has got to get old after a while.
