Maybe if top speed was 40. My point is, it would seem, 50+ is gnarlier than dropping in. I am just trying to encourage you. To be honest going that fast scares me pretty bad. Good luck, I hope I can race the park race, I have a good chance of beating you, that is, if you can even drop in. hahaha

Thanks Chris, James and DP for coming down and racing with us. DH is totally foreign to me. But DP gave me some great tips. I will work on them next weekend. I dig the eerie calmness when going down a hill. Ricky Byrd said I had a smile from ear to ear every time I went through the speedtrap. Mind you I went from the middle of the hill. Too Cool.

teaching a downhiller to ride vert is like trying to get Rob Mckenry to not puke in his helmet the morning of the race. its not easy.

ey ricker, thanks for driving me and will to the top of wilderness gate last nite.
man we got to the top and it had started snowing pretty good and the full moon we had exspected to skate under was hidden under the clouds. it was well below freezing as me and will skated in the dark in a full-on snow-storm as ryan sat in the warm car, most likely laughing at us as we freeze our nuts off! fun stuff!!
yea steve, all the bickering about the texas GS is amusing. a true skater skates anything and everything.
imagine if downhill racing had as much bickering....can you repave the road, make the corner not so tight, and make the road not so steep, its to hard, please mr. race organizer, please. waa ,waaa!

Yeah Steve, all the bickering is kinda funny. Just give it a rest. Go Skate! So it wasn't a perfect "GS" course. Whatever. Skate it anyway. That's part of being a skater is just skating! Like the Downtown SF park. It's a joke but it's still a SICK park. Just gotta work it a lil. I WANT MY ANKLE TO BE BETTER!

What's up bros? I just wanted to make a couple comments. Man TSR is rad, I love the way the contests are run. I know I am not a big competitor, but I come out and help all I can, have a ball and help make the events happen.
Anyhow, the whole GS debate is making me laugh. One of the things I am realizing is that having some sort of governing body ruling over all races sucks. Seriously, the politics in the whole texas race is out of hand. It is good when people come to a race, race the courses, or not, and have a good time. All the whining seriously makes people look like idiots. I think a more DH oriented GS makes sense. And I think that trying to force everyone to follow strict guidelines is counter productive.
Keep up the good work, I look forward to the Slap, and am hoping I am healthy enough to maybe enter a ditch race, and for sure the park race!

well that was a fun weekend! back at skate school now decompressing and running on 3 hours of sleep in the past 2 days. miller me and james got into austin last thursday nite after 12 strait hours of driving. me and james decided to get some energy out after being in the car all day by going skating. after 15 minutes we were thoroughly lost and spend the next hour skating around austin along with running across major freeways to find the hotel again. friday we spent skating the GS hill for like 4 hours, bombing it from the top, miller set a GS course to practice on while me and james slid it up. we head back to the motel only to find out that there is a skate park less than 2 minutes away with a killer bowl. we sessoned the bowl for awhile, it was sic! 11 ft deep end, pool coping, and you could tell by the way the little groms were looking at us that none of them knew what to do with that huge bowl. saturday was sooo much fun! the super G course was fast and hairy, probably doing around 40mph towards the bottom. with a pretty good headwind, tucking as much of the course as possible was quite important.
the downhill was fun, that hill is so short and steep, bombing it felt like a roller coaster ride! it sucked that the headwind slowed us down and that we could'nt bomb the hill from higher up. never the less, it was cool to have such a super accurate speedtrap set-up, way better than a GPS.
on sunday with the hybrid and the tight i knew i was out of my element with no practice, but james west was killing it and everybody was commenting on his sic style. james got taken out by claude reinger, the guy who won the thing and who was smoking everybody, but james gave him a a good fight. I even heard claude say to james "sorry, but I can't go easy on you, you're just to damn good!"
we bounced right after the awards ceremony and hit the road. after a safety meeting we began driving all nite and got back in NM at 8 this morning. i need sleeep.
ricker, your ankle better heal up so we can practice some slalom and miller thanks for using your Van, quite comfy!

Joe you may want to rethink the June 15th date. The Vernon DH and slalom (new for this year) has already been announced for that date. Is your date set in stone? I was hoping you would be doing another CO race but having a race only 6 hours away makes for an easier drive.

You really think that "For now it's clear that the DH Racers have the widest skate skills"? Or is it that all around skaters like to race downhill?

There will be no Sandia All Around this year. TSR is focusing on running some new events like the Ditch Slap. We are also working on an event for Look Out Mtn. in Golden, Colorado for June 15th.
All Around competitions are still in their infancy, and we have been unable to attract any real sponsors to help it grow. For now it's clear that the DH Racers have the widest skate skills, and that TimeShip riders are some of the best All Arounders out there. Maybe we'll lay in wait for some other organizer to put on an All Around so we can come and show our stuff.
If that doesn't happen in the next couple of years then I guess we'll have to throw Sandia again. I know that your crew are well rounded skaters and would do well, but for now we'll just have to race you where ever we can.

i thought you were cool
i don't like to do the whole trash talking thing but let me just say i gave my dad 90 bucks to mail to you because i i felt bad that i hadn't got you that money for awhile i love the leathers and it was a great deal.
I don't drive and i don't care for it
I skate to where i need to go
I skate every day and will never stop
Don't get mad when i start beating you in downhill
oh wait
yeah that happened
lets factor in that i proboly wiegh 30-40 pounds less than everyone including you and am the youngest one out there most of the time
well mabe you will have a chance in slalom
oh
never mind
all i have to say is that texas sucks

I'm unable to make due to family obligations, but TSR will send a couple of our young hot shots to represent and if one of them lands on the podium you can pay us back by making the podium here at the Ditch Slap.

High speed skateboard race!!!!!!!!!

It's on for a super fast giant slalom race here in Texas! Maybe it's too big. Maybe it's too fast. Who knows? Who cares? Your GS board probably won't work on this hill. Bring a DH board or something like that. Expect to go 45mph+. The hill is about as tall as a 20 story building. It has two slight left hand turns. It drops 7" every 4 feet. It is about 3/10 of a mile long. Great surface. Plenty of run out. I'm scared but skateboarding should be scary! If your into high speed gnarly s#@! then this is the race for you
Sunday will be normal slalom.
There are also 4 killer concrete skateboard parks in the area so come out early and stay late for some of the local fare.
Albuquerque was a blast! Y'all come on out to Texas and ride with us!
