What an incredible day of skating we had at Hobby Park on Saturday! Simply incredible! I want to thank everyone who participated and came out!
Special thanks go out to the local DHB crew member, DHolt, Jaybird, and Rookie for coming and killing the hill and spreading that DHB stoke! You guys rock and are part of the heart of the DHB's growth! I am proud to be part of this organization because of you guys. Without your efforts this crew would not exist.
Thanks goes out to W Tucker for all of the course prep work, set up, and support! Thanks for coming early and taking care of so much! Thanks for helping me learn slalom.
Special thanks goes to Beth for coming in from 3 1/2 hours away to take part in the stoke and keeping time! Beth kept time all day and just kept us all going! Girl, I am glad you are part of the DHB's.
Our Out of Towners:
Marty Schaub-Dude, thanks for coming and for all of the encouragement, advise, and great stories bro! Watching you work so hard to make run after run to dial in and past Thompson made me get jacked up to keep going back up the hill time after time! (Man, my calves are sore from walking up that hill so many times!
Tom Thompson: Guys, this dude flys and is so smooth its amazing to watch. Tom, thanks for making the trip and absolutely killing it. Watching you sit on top of that hill like a raptor ready to descend on it's prey was cool! You are not only the King of Georgia but you are the current reigning Marion's Basement Slalom Champ! 1:00 am Friday Night/Saturday morning and we are running cones through doorways in the basement just because we are so stoked to ride!
Bryan Parsons: Fastest dude on the hill that day for sure! Dude, you just simply killed the course run after run after run after run! Thanks for all the hard work you did setting up the timer system! Thanks for bringing it (the timing system) and bringing it (the speed down that course)! I look foward to riding with you again soon!
Ron Olson: Dude, you have got a great vibe! Thanks for being a part of the weekend. You're like a kid in a candy store just smiling the whole time! That is infectious bro! You are always welcome at the house. Marty will just have to bring his breathing machine with him or leave his chain saw at home which ever works best!
John Dillon: Now I am completely sure why you call it Team Fun because bro, that is what you are all about! You pushed me hard all day to get better and better and for that I am grateful! This dude road the same board on the GS as he did on the downhill...He was killing it! After eating thai food we hooked up with the local crew, SST, Mac T, and Brent, for a little midnight bank riding at our Black Banks spot. I am not sure how either of us had the energy to get out there and ride at midnight after riding all dang day on the hill but we did it. Thanks for sharing your stoke with the crew.
Thanks also goes to Martha, our newest DHB'er from Charlotte for coming out and shooting pics, video, and joining in the vibe.
Yesterday was just a great day. I am so stoked to be part of skateboarding again after being gone from it so long. The DHB's are a great group of people who love what they are doing and want to share it. For those of you who have yet to come hang with us you are all welcome. We just want to build the scene here for all forms of skateboarding!
We are working on our approvals for our weekend of racing but go ahead and pencil us in for Saturday, Nov 5th (tight/hybrid in Statesville, NC Pumkin Festival) and Sunday Nov 6th (GS at Hobby Park Soap Box Derby Hill in Winston-Salem, NC). I will keep you all updated as to our progress.
Also, if you would like to get a taste for this hill and the DHB's we are having a DownHill Billies Skate Jam on Saturday, June 25th. This is going to be a combined longboarding, slalom, and just fun session at Hobby Park. A fundraiser will be taking place with food available for purchase and a custom graphic DownHill Billies Longboard donated by Brent of our local crew for raffle. All proceeds to go to offsetting our website costs and costs for our races in the fall! Contact me or any of the DHB's for more information.
Our 55 gallon drum of stoke fuel exploded yesterday all over everyone there but we have more where that came from!

Dude, what a great idea. We should try and plan a DHB trip down the river. It'd be a blast and one of the few ways "during the season" that we can see my man Dave.

No worries, bro. I don't have any feathers to be ruffled.LOL BTW, do you also post on the Gravity forum? There's another NC dude who's attending school who posts there. If it's not you, maybe you can hook up.
I just got back from the Athens (OH) park for a morning session! Great times!! I'm thinking about heading up Friday morning as well, weather-permitting, if anyone wants to hook up and carve, drop an email.

Interesting enough, some of our big Super G cone sessions are on longboards! It makes bombing a hill alot of fun when you make it also technical. Keep an eye on this forum or on the Guest Book on www.downhillbillies.org for our longboard jams...it would definitely be worth the ride over! Heck, we will even find you a place to sleep!

Thanks for the invitation. Great to see there are other boarders in NC. Right now I am going to school this summer and have a tight schedule. I am from the Raleigh area not Boone and there isn't that many people into longboarding. Thanks dude for the reply and I did not mean to talk about the cones, just thought this was about longboarding and maybe you use cones?

Dude,
We would love for you to come down and ride with us and vice versa! Drop me an email and I will get you hooked up with updates. We are stoked on slalom but longboarding is what the DHB's was founded on and will always remain a big part of what we do!

I think since many of us slalom and longboard (and longboard slalom) together, and this forum is where we plan our get-togethers and outings, a little cross-disciplinary talk could be tolerated, eh? After all, it's all skating, right bud?
