This weeks flatland/slalom jam options.
Terry Synnott has brought to my attention that a few Casper Classic contestents, that are interested in slalom may be going to the WLAC race instead of the Edison Park Jam this Sunday, so I thought I would post the WLAC race info. for those of you that may want to choose that option. It s possible to make it to both, as the Edison Park jam will run from 10:00am until 5:00 pm.
I have no idea how many skaters will show up at any of the three, Hermosa Pier, Venice Beach Strand and Edison Park Huntington Beach Jams, but the locations are offered as well known and historic gathering places for the Casper Classic contestants and the Southern California flatland freestyle regulars to meet in a non competitive low stress athmosphere. The " Philly Connection" may make an appearence at the Edison Park jam.
All are invited to an informal (Bob Staton 60th Birthday) dinner party at the Mexican restaurant next to the skate area at the Hermosa Pier. The Hermosa Jam is 5:00 pm Thursday the 17th, until 9:00pm, and the dinner party is at 7:00 pm.
Hi, Terry,
Glad you mentioned that. The WLAC race is Sunday also and if the Carrascos are in town, that's where they will be. I had originally attempted to work out a deal with the promoter of the slalom race, at Maria's suggeston, to let us have our jam there with them as a number of freestylers are also active slalom racers. The problem is that there is an entry fee to cover the insurance requirements of the race area that must be paid by anyone that shows up, even for a flatland jam, and full saftey gear would be required. Beside that, the surface is not all that great for flatland, and the flat area is a ways away from the race hill. So, it was decided to have the flatland jam at Edison Park. I will post the WLAC race as an option to the Edison Park Jam. However! Maria also said that it is a common practice to have a short flatland jam in the parkng lot right after the race. What I recommend is to hit the Edison Park Jam at 10:00am and hang for an hour or so, then run up to WLAC and check out the races and hang out for the (underground) post race flatland jam that may or may not happen, so take your pick.
I will be skating in the un sponsored 16 and over Am division along with Manual Rodriguez, (Jessy Sanchez, James Santillan ???), and Denis Sopovic. We will probably compete some time between 11:00 am and noon. I can hardly skate at all these days, my appearance is just for the novelty and to support the event in general.
More later, Bob

Bobmart-you obviously dont know me, I relish in antoganizing people and always put my name to a post, Dagoo has chutzpah, humor, and an uncanny ability to stump us all, He f#@!in Rules!, just do a search here and see how he has jostled with the slalom guys, the speedboarders etc etc.
Dagoo-the fan club is growing, I'm think of making memebership cards and stickers.

I just got back from a hot day of skating.
The placings do not reflect the actual performances. Unfortunately the judging was a little sketchy as the organiszers did not use any guidlines.
Some guys already got to the contest site on Saturday to warm up and meet with friends. It was a small contest and jam atmosphere and I guess most of us do not take these results really seriously.
At least the list of participants shows that Freestyle is growing in Germany too, as we had quite a few new faces entering their first contest.
Meeting new Freestyle entusiasts was more important than a placing.
To give you an idea what happend at the awards ceremonies:
Ullrich was announced first place, but he refused to accept it and handed it over to Peter Ruschel, who had a blazing hot first run.
The points were so close in the top 5 that an inconsistency in judging of 10 points made a whole difference.....
Conclusion:
Go out and have fun, meet new people.
Don't complain about judging if you did not distribute judging guidelines.
Work on a better format for next year.
As this was part of a street contest, the organizers were really stoked to have a growing number of Freestylers participating.
YOYO, the guy who snapped his board during practice

Haha, wow BOb, you put quite a bit of thought into the whole Dagoo thing. BUT, it's Nagoog, not Nagoo, if that makes a difference. Oh well, I know Nagoog somewhat, and that doesn't seem like him.
Terry, yes David did turn out to be an insanely talented man. It was odd, however, because he came around at a time when his real identity hadn't been posting in a while. Where is he, anyway? He freakin' rips, haha.
I should spend more time reading this forum, it's pretty interesting.

By The Way !
There will be another great Carrasco Family Style Flatland Free-for-all Jam on Sunday, July 20th, the day after the Casper Classic. Some of the out of town contestants will be at the jam including the Dynamic Duo of A.J.Kohn and J.J.O'Donnell who go by the name of The Philly Connection. It will start around 10:00 am to accomidate skaters that need to get on a plane and would have to leave a little early. This may be the only change some of you, that are not going to be able to make it to the Casper Classic, will be able to skate with the skate stars from around the world. Please come and have some classic fun, tell your friends.
Now, for those of you that like to hit all the stops, There will be an evening jam at the Hermosa Beach Pier on th 17th PLUS!!! a "Bob Staton 60th Birthday Mexican Dinner Party" right there at a restaurant ( a favorite of Terry Synnott )at the foot of the Pier. All are invited, so RSVP if you can come!

O.K, I re-read the Dagoo comments and I must have missed the
"Edison Park" post the first time around. Dagoo was there and i have the
name of everyone that was in the area. It's coming together now, and other clue
is the fake name "Dagoo" which sounds like Dago, a locals slang name for San Diego.
Nagoo was not at Edison Park, but Dagoo may have also faked the name Nagoo
on the f-forum. A common practice of using fake names to cause trouble is one
of the things that caused the f-forum to be changed to a pre-registration board.
That is probably why Dogoo apperared here and is not on the
f-forum. The ID if Dagoo is at hand! For what ever it is worth.Nahahahaha!

Bob-Whoever it is stumped me pretty good with a comment about Edison park, Remember he said he was there on the otherside of the wall where the curb is?, I skated thru there when I left with Nathan that day, there was 3 guys that wernt part of our group hanging out, if I remember only 1 was old enough to remember the 80's.
He has been all over this site with his witty bantor, thats why I'm the Pres of the Dagoo Fan Club.
Anybody that can slalom to music on the slalom track is OK by me.
Which way did he goo........................

Terry:
That makes sence. He seemed to know a little too much about what buttons to push but only in a specific range so I don't think he is active today. Do you know for sure that this is not Nagoo?

Haha, this is getting too funny. If I remember correctly, David turned out to be one of the best freestylers of all time having a little bit of fun at everybody else's expense. He finally owned up to it awhile back, but I don't feel it's my place to spoil his fun.

Hi Andy! Yes, we are all pretty sure he is Nagoo from the WFSA F-forum and we will know for sure when he responds to this post. We have tracked 5 of his email addresses, so that would lead me to think that he is not alowed to use the comp. at his house and must go to friends. He has posted from the same address while on this site so he probably has a friend that lets him post on a regular basis. He is from Australia and is probably part aborigional, or has a close connection to aborigional live. Possibably a parent is a missionary or govt. worker. I think he may have also lived in the US or UK for a while as his knoweledge of the 80's freestyle scene, where he seems to be fixated, is saturated with icons from those two areas. I would not be supprised if he was a problem on skatetalk, or skate4life also as his style is classic skatetalk pest.

speaking of mainstream, i have skated a lot at vans milpitas this past year, and have noticed more kids doing freestyle tricks like rail stand to flips, one footed manuals, etc.
oftens times there will be an impromptu flatland session in the 'no man's land' part of the street section.
I met a kid in there last week, he had one footed and two footed manuals down (ok wheelies, happy?), both nose and tail! (i had him do it around the pool) He told me he learned it from doing one footed wheelies on his razor scooter.
anyways, i still need to check out rodney mullen in THPS3.
