That's Dustin Dixon, downhiller, and this was his first slalom contest. He's going to be good. I saw him come out of the prize truck with a slalom deck.

I posted this on the Fish and thought I'd do so here....
Another great race, fo sho! This Sizzler was certainly different and I think maybe the best one yet! They seem to get better and better each year. Marcos...YOU deserve many acolades. I know you were stressing at times but it was well worth it. That hill is absolutely fabulous. Formula One race track surface is choice!!! Thank you, Marcos and all my fellow Outlaw bros. You too, Eddy. Without you I would not even be racing.
Thanks again to Gesmer for making another Sizzler. He does such a good job.
Thanks to all the racers that travelled to get here, without you guys it's just a Texas Outlaws gathering. Thank you for getting to Texas and participating.
I'm really stoked about all the new faces this year as much as anything. New blood is constantly needed in anything and the race world is no different.
Special personal thanks go out to C-Bark, Pirnack and Stryker for helping me dial in my front Radikal. I am a JUST SHOW UP AND RIDE kinda guy and obviously don't pay enough attention to my equipment. You guys are leaders in this little race world and the info you guys pass down is invaluable. Thank you for helping me be at least half way competitive. You guys are all too cool.
Mclaren brothers and DOM: Are you guys even human? I mean, come on....watching you guys roll is an honor. Joe Mclaren is so fast it's hard to comprehend. So is DOM. And Dom is such a talented rider the guy rode every single race with his GS board....26" wheelbase for each race, folks, including tight. Whatever.....
I took a few pics with my Blackberry, nothing like what Aria got, but here they are....
Hollien and Pirnack
Joe BLUR Mclaren
Pete THE CUBAN MISSLE Cardenas with his version of coneheading. Way to pay attention, Pete.
Mclaren makin' that money
DOM made some too
C-Bark also collected some coin
Trophies
Prize closet
Pirnack took home this year's Cockfight Skateboards COCKGNAR award for GNARLIEST ACT OF SKATEBOARDING. First he broke his kingpin on his front truck dropping in on the 9 foot ramp, digging his truck into the track surface and running out his fall at 20 mph. I'm sure his feet are still bruised. THEN, after fixing his truck he gets back up on the big ramp, rolls in and WILSONS (board shoots out from underneath of him) and he slides about 5 feet on his back across the track. Dave Pirnack, you deserved that award.
Karl Floitgraf (or PUSgraf as he is now known) took home the Cockfight Skateboards ROADKILL award for most ridiculous slam of the weekend. Karl decided to roll downhill while looking back uphill and ended up paying the price. He managed to sit in my wife's nice lawn chairs and get puss-stains on each of them. PUSGRAF!!!!
I snagged a 2nd place trophy for the Hybrid B. These were made by Glenn SA DITCH Bukowski, all from recycled street decks. They still had the grip tape on one side. Very cool, Glenn!

Gumby
I snagged a Sk8Kings deck on a trip through the prize truck and had Richie sign it. Thank you Sk8Kings for making it out again.
It was really great to meet a lot of you for the first time and we missed a lot of you that could not make it this year. Hopefully everyone will be out for next year's Sizzler.
Here's a couple that Aria shot of me, one of which is the Skatercross with Earl Cephas...

Thank you Texas Outlaws and all who help support their race this year. You are one of the few remaining groups that are still putting on a big race. I know you are all tired, but wanted to let you know how much DP & I enjoyed the event. Keep your stoke!
That hill is epic! It's really hard to find something that you can run all the disciplines on, but you have found a jewel. I am going to send an email to the contact for the venue.
I got to help a lot of riders with their gear and that was the highlight for me. It was rad to see the big improvement in some of the Outlaws that used to be newbies. Big Ryan, Biscuits, Gumby, and many others were really charging hard all weekend.
Special thanks to OTC teammate DP for dragging me off the couch. I needed that...

Thanks for the fun race!
I finally have some video uploaded. I had a good soundtrack with classic texas punk but youtube deleted it. So here's an edit with some live Ramones recordings. Youtube doesn't delete the Ramones.
