2003 goals-

1. To slalom in the far east and infect them with the slalom bug.

2. To make a wheel that I really enjoy riding.

3. To learn to Ollie- and get sponsored. Oops typo .......to learn with Ollie (Gelfand) and get him sponsored.


Well 2 out of three ain't bad.

2004 Goals

1. Get local city sports media interested in our racing. Hopefully have that as a model for others to copy.
2. Involve Highschool snowboard racers with skateboard slalom.
3. Introduce slalom skateboarding to other sports enthusiasts by cross marketing at their competitions.
4.Make it easier for skaters to select gear without having to purchase it first.

get better at discerning what translates into speed and what doesn't.

remain stoked in the midst of this loooooonnnng-ass slalom learning curve.

sesh with the southeast bros more often.

5) To introduce at least 3 people to slalom skateboarding.

JG, I erased a post that I put up regarding an idea I had for addressing your goal here. But nobody responded so I killed it.

Think, NetFlix!!

We should talk.

Netflix would be cool for narrowing the choices.

Post by John Gilmour » Sat May 08, 2004 4:05 am

I meant allowing them to demo the gear first- like have stuff available at demos or contests.
