Breckenridge is the US Championships for 2004. If you intend to capture a US title, make your plans for Breckenridge in August. Kenny, Palmer, Noah, Oyama, Kramer, Gordon, will be on hand to defend their titles.

Breck will include<b> Dual GS, Dual TS, & CyberSlalom. </b>We are also working with Timeship Racing/Joe Lemm to include a Downhill/SuperG event. There will be an Overall title as well from these four very different racing disciplines.

Entry fee will be $125 for all four events (this includes a T-shirt to entice the Brits).

<b>Worlds 2004</b>
No one has stepped up to organize a World Championship race in Jack's stead. I'm a little concerned with the void that has been left with Jack's departure from the race organization scene after the unfortunate events of last Fall, so I'm now PLEADING with you Jack, bring back the World Championships.
Morro Bay is ground zero for the rebirth of slalom and I think it should stay the home of the World Championships for at least another year. The town is accommodating, the location is great, and though the pavement hasn't been world class, the courses have been, (in no small part due to Paul Dunn's exquisite, and yet punishing, course design).

I encourage you guys to contact Jack (jack@videoactionsportsDOTcom) and offer your thoughts about the World Championships, and maybe your offer to help in whatever way you can (sponsorship, labor, promotion, cone heading). Maybe this will be enough to convince Jack to throw another race.
