Marty, at this early point the race is still a go. Cold won't stop us but rain and snow will. I will make a call by Thursday the 8th for all of you boyz that are traveling. It will be up to you then if you want to chance it. Also, remember this is an Outlaw Event, anything can happen.
Hey Jeff, what is the name of the Crack Hotel right there on 123 and 95? Thats convenient to Fountainhead.
Smallwood, whats the word on Bulky showing?

the O & O show
Olson & O'Shei are still coming. Not sure if Steve will race as he is showing art that evening. He might be working on that. O'Shei will run, no doubt.
What time do you think we'll start downhill??

Gentlemen . . . and Ohm . . . and Boswell . . . and Smallwood,
Don't sweat it. The crew from down here is travelling with me and it's safe to assume I know the drill. As usual, we'll be staying in Fredericksburg: an hour earlier to bed, $40 rooms and still close enough to drive up to Occoquan in plenty of time to ride.
As usual, the forecast on Thursday will determine if booking a room is warranted. Temperature isn't important but precipitation is the one overriding factor in heading north. If all is well, we're outta here Friday night.

As I have said before, this angle at the Dixie Cup Pumpcone Fest is the coolest photo op! Love that old court house in the background! Mike you look cool riding there!
For you history/folk song buffs (if there are any), that court house location (different building) was the site of the trial of Tom Dula (pronounced Dooley) that was immortalized in the folk song "Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley" by the Kingston Trio. The trial was moved from Wilkes County north of Statesville to here because of pre-trial publicity. In 1868 Tom Dula was found quilty of killing his former lover and was hanged on Depot Hill in Statesville (the site where we had the Dixie Cup Saturday Night's awards party!). Our Saturday race was at the site he was tried and the party that night was where the gallows sat for his hanging! Welcome to Historic Downtown Statesville!
See you guys on the 10th.

Yeah,

Cabbage, running the downhill in the rain would be asking for it. You don't want to come out of your line. You'd be better off just standing on the guardrail and diving out into the water. Save your bearings from getting wet and avoid the possibility of t-boning one of the many thick posts on your way down.
But I like the way you think.
Gilbert, Olson will be in town Dec 7-10. I'm sure we'll have a few Fight Club sessions. Party is 8pm til ????

Did a check this weekend on the hill. Had to rake an S-Load of leaves. Not a soul in sight but a few mountain bikers. Bust factor is minimal.
Snow is falling now but will be gone by Saturday. Thursday I will make the call for the travelers but the forecast is sunny and mid thirties.
Jeff Bos, call me. I need to use your cones if you are not coming.

Race Time?
Ohmster,
What time?
At the P&R it's usually 10:00. You planning on the same or something earlier? Let us know so we know when to hit the road from F'burg.

Wes Tucker, hope to be skating by 10am. I will get there early to sweep and set the course. BP is bringing the timer. Sleep in, leave Fredericksburg by 9am.
I will try and check the hill today. Weak chance for snow on friday. Bring it.

Hey, I'm doing a science fair project on how fast different tucks are so would it be alright if I set up a speed trap with chalk near the bottom of the hill so I can get speeds?
Oh, and anybody wanna run the course for me in the different tucks? You just have to go down the hill off a plastic ramp in the tuck.

Snow, Ice, Sleet, Rain, one of these are definate. As far as accumulation and the possibility of a clear hill cannot be estimated at this time. I will post a Friday AM damage report but probably won't see the hill until Saturday AM.
WesT and friends I don't know what to tell you. If we can we will skate.

If weather cooperates and this happens, go ahead and bring your project. Let's also see some other variables added, such as the trajectory that Smallwood needs to clear the river bank.

Weather Report For Sk8sville, North Carolina:
WORLD DHB Headquarters is reporting things better than expected. The ice that was all around last night is melting fast and roads are wet but clear. Idiots in Charlotte are still piling cars up like stacks of wood but that is the way they Roll down there. Should be a good drive into Sk8sville from the South.
We should be able to ride tonight at Camperworld if we don't decide to risk the trip to DC.

The DHB/GASS contingency has regretfully decided NOT to make the trip to DC based on the potential that the Fountain Head course may not be clear by tomorrow. We will look toward getting up with you guys at another DC session later in the Winter.
Also, any of you that want to come down and ride with us are welcome! We will be looking to do a Jam in January. Date to be determined next week.
Hope you guys get to ride. Talk to you soon.

Ahh, total bummer. If the slalom is cancelled, the downhill is also. We'll try again soon.
Fight Club party is still on. Olson and O'Shei are coming out on the red-eye tonite. Come join in the festivities.

Sorry for the delay Flis. It's been a long weekend. With Olson and O'Shei around, M-T-W counts as the weekend. Ouch!!
Party was a blast. All the regular fools, plus a few others.
Spontaneous flatland session ruled with Dillon slaying the crowd with stylish daffies. Jaime's floor roll was a crowd pleaser as well as O'Shei's 15 rotation 360's
Advice: If anyone offers you real Absinthe, take a pass
I'm not sure when we'll try to have a race. I'll follow Ohm's lead
How was the show?? You guys kick ass??

Thanks Anthony Smallwood!
Wow, the best birthday bash I've encountered. People from everywhere including Olson & O'Shei......downhillers, slalom enthusiasts,skatepark activists, DC Outlaws, Newschoolers, Old schoolers, pool skaters, street skaters, longboarders and shortboarders, good beer drinkers and straight-edgers.....even Ian MacKaye showed up..........cool art by Olson, rad Fight Club bowl session, impromptu awesome flatland trick session....every trick in the book was thrown by the diverse skate crowd...a lot of fun was displayed....lots of new inductees into Team Fun...t'was great skating w/you all. Thanks Dan & Alleykat for putting it on.....thanks to those who contributed to the Surfrider Foundation fundraising efforts....thanks WesE for coming out as well. People were dizzy watching John O spin all those 360s...also nice Ho-Ho's by Ben H and Jason(G.Biersch). I had the best time, especially the street session w/the spinning keg. Nice idea, Ashworth! Lots of great memories, plus THE POINTS playing live....awesome tunes!! Flis, we've got to book you @ Fight Club next time! It's snowing outside again.....Peace!

JD, glad you had fun on your birthday. That really was a cool party.
Flis, you guys are definitely FC worthy. Sounds like good skate music. Uh, but you guys lose a bunch of credibility if your parents won't even let you play gigs. LIE TO THEM!!! Tell them it's something at school......just kidding, don't lie to your folks. PERSUADE THEM!! All parents are invited. Just don't tell them we're drinking Absinthe.
We'll have an outlaw downhill in January. I'm pushing to make a race in Brazil on Jan 15th. Maybe the week before that.

Ohm, how was Fountainhead?? I tried to get Dupin to head down but he wanted to hit Rock Creek. Unwisely, we took off from the top without giving it a look, passed a jogger who looked horrified and pointed down the hill, knew it couldn't be good, and yep, water and ice at the first turn. I left a leather body imprint on the road and watched as Doug made the first section by hugging the curb, then slamming hard before the ice covered bridge.
Moving slow today. I must say, the view at the take-off almost made it worth it.
Is it spring yet??

Hey guys, don't mean to butt into your thread...but I'm going to anyway
I'm putting on an outlaw race in Dublin, GA. on 1/15. I know we're quite a distance from you guys, but I still want to extend an invitation to the DC crew. You guys inspired us to start putting on winter outlaw races here in the Southeast. So.....if you need a short break from the biting cold or don't have anything planned for January, come on down south and gitcha some. We'd love to have y'all! My race is on the other site's contest calender.

I'm putting on an outlaw race in Dublin, GA. on 1/15. I know we're quite a distance from you guys, but I still want to extend an invitation to the DC crew. You guys inspired us to start putting on winter outlaw races here in the Southeast. So.....if you need a short break from the biting cold or don't have anything planned for January, come on down south and gitcha some. We'd love to have y'all! My race is on the other site's contest calender.
