Region: Europe (5207 Posts) Topic Info Sheffield Board Fest II..? On 4/25/2002 SSofS wrote in from (195.92.nnn.nnn) Hi there! Sorry I havent been able to visit the site more, my new job keeps me away from the pc. Just thinking about doing a (GRS Sheffield) Board FestII now the weather is turning nice... You may have heard the last one was a great success, with 150 people watching and riding, Simon Levene, Chris Linford and Chris Hart on hand to show us what its all about and articles in Sidewalk and Adrenaline mags here in the UK... The most coverage slalom has had in the British skate press in a while, I think. If I get some encouragement on the site, Id be up for doing another, primarily outdoor event later in the year. Anyone want to get behind this idea? Big up to GRS! And all the riders!     Rate post 71226 !

My comments are in brackets, but may not be true. The Slalom Contest is on Sunday 23 June 2002. And it begins at 11.00 am. The distance is 80 meters and it’s not a hill it’s a street. It is a Parallel Slalom (I am not sure if straight or staggered yet), that means two riders start at the same time (I think this is qualifying). The fastest 16 riders will get into the final round. In the final races is the KO-System (first past the post). At the end the best and fastest will stay on the top. When I get more, how to get there it may be worth going to. It only clashes with the world longboard championship in north carolina. try the web site, in English soon http://www.pscontest.ch It can take a while to load. Chris     Rate post 71211 !

I can't imagine how much faster you would've been without the jetlag. I'm trying to make it to Brands Hatch. Someone's gotta represent the US in best crash.     Rate post 71169 !

It is a pain about the FCR series clashing with Brands Hatch. It just goes to show thedifficulties in confirming dates across the Atlantic. Personally I think Brands Hatch will be the best event of the year. Chris     Rate post 71148 !

We did not try for permission to skate in those days. We ended up there due to the fact that it was raining and we were going to hold a competition at Green Park in London. The event there was impossible so we thought we'd try the subway between South Kensington Tube station and the Science museum. Santa Cruz sponsored the event and loved the underground, 'illegal' aspect to it. I skated it the other week, took the kids to the museum, its still the same, but busy with tourists now.

I bumped into him last year and he pulled off a couple of his old moves on an old deck. Yo to the old Southbankers, trying to organize an old skool foto exhibition in the next few months, will keep you posted.     Rate post 70867 !

As for equipment heres an offer: 1st Unsponsored UK entrant to a Swiss Boarder X who would like to use Turner wheels, Avalons or La Costas, i'll flow a set with Oust bearings. All I ask is that you leave them to me in your will, not that its dangerous or anything....     Rate post 70858 !

We suggest using a board between 80-120cm long. later lee     Rate post 70854 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0)
