women's slalom?
On 4/5/2007 mbl wrote in from Canada  (74.101.nnn.nnn)

Is it women's yet? So far, I've seen women competing in a men's venue for the most part. Fine for a start, but most women need the different competitiveness not always offered at a generally men's event. albeit women compete in their own category, but it is predominately a men's event and is run so. Some women athletes do not care for the male comeraderie banter and competition of the best dressed or most attractive female addition to the roster. I salute those who can overcome these obstacles but most will not.
I will run cones, ride my park board and longboard but have no interest or desire to compete in a male-dominated field. Let's face it. with a world-clas partner , someone has to drive home and that's my job. I'm much more interested in runing good races for you and finding the band-aid. Now I see my mentors as Claude, as coach, Casey MacLaren and Diane Schwipert as skatemoms with my own two beautiful racers up and coming.
Call me crazy, Ottawa to Paris to Dusseldorf for four years, this is how it stands
love the skate

Well Lynn, I am sure going to do my part up here in the Bay Area to get more women excited about participating in slalom.
If they only knew how fun it is!

I wish I could be there for the Diva skate this weekend. I'll for sure see ya'll on the 15th at the Pump Station.

Congrats again on your gold! Are you going to bring them to show off?? You should!

more women
On 4/5/2007 Lynn wrote in from United States  (75.15.nnn.nnn)

I think there aren't more women because people hear "skateboard" and they instantly think "12 year old boy grinding curb" and "ouch." Slalom should be inundated with women. It is really a finesse sport. Yeah, as you become more comfortable, you can go faster on big hills, but for the most part, it is technique.
Kelly Benko and myself showed this to the boys last weekend in a match of "skate till you hit a cone". Kelly, you rip. I DQed out the gate on my first run(brain fart? hit our announcer Denis Shufly on the start ramp? forgot to turn?) and the crowd gave me a rebate, but after that, it was on.

Downhill Divas Saturday April 7- 3pm to dark. Pumpstation.

Lynn just returned from the California State Games in Mammoth last weekend with 3 gold medals!! Killer!! She rips in boardercross and is now going on to compete in the Nationals at the end of the month.

Congrats Lynn! Your accomplishments are an inspiration for women everywhere.

Santa Cruz Skate Park Grand Opening. Need women skaters!
On 2/16/2007 Judi Oyama wrote in from United States  (69.109.nnn.nnn)

Izy,

Pro's and Am's only! Only around select 15 riders total. It starts at 4:00 pm and is about an hour long event and then the park is open to all. You will be one of the only women if not the only one. The park rules. It would be great to have you up here. We need some female skaters. I'm in charge of the rider list.
