I attended my first real race at WLAC this weekend, Dec 8, 2002.
What a fun time.
I was prompted by Rene, Richie, Evans, Aszodi and many others (1 - 2, I won't forget) in my technique and equipment. The TS course was fun and to make things quick here, I had a blast.
You learn quickly at the races.
All of you guys are the coolest.

California Slalom Series #7 Results
(California Championship Series date 10)
West LA College, California
12-08-02
The 2002 California Slalom Series finals at West LA College featured tight slalom racing with pleasant, sunny weather. The field was the largest of the 10 race series, with strong competition. The course continued to produce tight racing, with many finishes up in the air until the last second.
The racers packed a local restaurant for the awards party, where the prizes included 2 sets of Kryptonic Classic K wheels as sportsmanship awards for the day's tight slalom (2 finishers closest to the end of the field who were at the awards). The grand prize was an Ed Economy Gravity super-longboard, donated by Ed Economy himself, that went to Richy Carrasco for taking the season title in skateboard giant slalom. Richy also took home the Baku Torsion Trucks for the season tight slalom title. The racers who made podiums got medals, and season title winners (California Champions) received nice glass plaques. Finally a batch of T shirts from Sasquatch Skateboards and Pure Guts were handed out. After a great season of racing, everyone is looking forward to more in 2003!
