Magnolia woods is officially the best slalom location in New England. Blows away the Arboretum, Memorial Drive, My dump road hill and many other famous spots. Why? Parking, multi hill choices, no cars, no hassels, beautiful area, killer resturaunts and shoping 15 min away in Gloucester and perfect pavement. Easy access right off 128. This is the new practice spot for NSRA. Northern Slalom Racing Association

I'm there.
Dudes and Dudetts,
I'll be there tomorrow with my pathetic slalom skills and a 9 volt battery.
And I agree with TK....the spot is SWEET.
Let's do this thing.

Looks like an afternoon session. I will be there around 12:00. It looks like it will be a busy day for the soccer fields. Please park in a legal spot, I have been able to set on the pathways even when soccer is going on. Later in the day when the games are over we may be able to set down the main road. I am looking forward to riding with all of you, see you tomorrow.

Good time today with the Chapmans, the Woodwards, Gilmour and his Possie Weasel boy and Karl the sausage king, Derek , MAtt, ME and Ike.
Gilmour has obviously been coaching weasel because he was scary fast for a weasel as was Benjamin. A dog ran up and peed on Karl and Matts bags. I think this is good luck. The spot was hassel free today all day with VG asphalt and a fun group downhill at the end of the day. TK

Thanks
Hey, crowd. Fantastic time at Magnolia.
Thanks, TK, Glen, and everyone else who spent so much time setting courses.
TK, next time you just need to ride more, and spend less time doing logistics. I love watching you skate.
Bryan, Karl, it was great hanging with you guys. You're both rad dudes. (Rad is a word I think that we should ressurect).
The CT girls: great seeing you again. But I think you should all get matching T-shirts. Loved hanging and skating with you. You galsa are just so much fun.
JG, the silver-headed Euro-buff, great to see you, buddy. Do we get to see any of the video you shot?
Derek, great meeting you, hope to see you again soon. Keep turning, buddy. Didn't you say you just started or something? Could have fooled me.
Ben and Millie...what can one say. Ben you've got style and grace buddy. Smooth as butter. Millie, you are going to be kicking everyone's butt if you keep it up. Your determination to get through the cones is awesome.
Hope I didn't miss anyone. If I did, it's because I suffer from an acute memory disorder.
The few pics I took came out terrible. But I will be posting them anyway on the <a href="http://www.vasocreta.com/boston_slalom/" target="_blank">B.A.S.S.</a> web page (link opens in new window).
They should be up in the next few days.
Thanks again to you all. Getting out there yesterday lie we did, with all different level riders, all different ages....that was great. I think in many ways it is what creates a real amazing component to the slalom skateboard community.

Great time Saturday everyone. I went from there to the Newburyport skate park and just about fell asleep while skating. Matt, Karl, Elisa, Bryan, great meeting you guys. Karl showed us what he's made of by getting right back to ripping after a spectacular fall. As for the rest of you posers, you're going down next time!!! Especially in the downhill bomb. I'll need time to put on my lycra speed suit though. Let's do it again real soon. Next weekend?

T-Storms
Thunderstorms are heading into the area. The current forecast calls for scattered T-Storms on Saturday, 5/15/04. The rain held off this past Saturday, maybe it will again.
Hey, Bryan and Karl....at what time did you catch your train to Gloucester last Saturday? And how did you get to Magnolia from the the station? I am going to be without a car this weekend so if folks are skating I have to either take the train or find a ride.
Hopefully the weather will hold off.
Henry, it would be great to skate with you, buddy.

Saturday sounds fantastic.
Jim, can you still give me a ride?
Henry, are you still coming? We'll figure out a ride for you.
If it's too tight with train stuff, you can always stay the night. Jessa is out of town for the weekend, so you are welcome to stay at my apartment.

Matt- Check your email.
Jim- I will most likely be coming inat around 1130 at south station courtesy of Amtrak. I havn't booked the tikets yet, ill let you know when everything is final.
TK, how about a 40 cone 5.5 on center burner, that sounds more interesting.
I'm toting the famed BRG ICK along with the infamous Arab donated Herr Vaughnster aka Von Hampster aka Van Helsing.

All of my technology is dying
OK, here's the deal:
My computer and cell phone just went caput in the last day and a half. I am using a slow laptop for now at home to check my email, but my main machine needs to be replaced.
Today my cell phone won't turn on. Not sure if it ever will. So, Henry and Jim (or anybody else)...you won't be able to reach me on my cell. If you need to reach me, call me on my home phone at 617-500-4121
That doesn't help much since I am not at home at all today, but just for your reference. So, if I don't get back to you right away, you'll know why.
Gosh, I need some skating to relieve the stress.
And that darn weather better hold out.

Great day today. Fun skating with everyone. I will load up the videos soon.
Henry- that's the last time I am ever waiting in a train station for you.
If anyone needs hosting space for any pictures just email me Karl@slalomspot.com. I have more than enough.
