If they turn it down, it will be at WSU.     Rate post 230909 !

It's up to Paul on how we will be setting things up. I think he said One lane a GS and the other a hybrid course.Either way this is all just for fun right? :-)The speed freaks of our group will have a chance to really cut loose. I'm not sure what course will be the one being timed for the "race".Paul is very demoractic when it comes to thouse type of decisions. Whatever everyone wants to do. Looking forward to the Season Opener! See Ya. John     Rate post 230907 !

Hoping the timing strips are just ahead of the cones so the option to ramp or to push is there, but we don't have to do that "smack the strip with your hand" thing?

With my bad hip I can not get a descent push start pushing off my back foot. I could learn to push mongo but people would laugh at me and I am sensitive. Even when we have the ramps I do not intend to be one of the fast guys but it is encouraging to me to not be 3 cones behind before I get to the first cone. The thought of ramps in Salem however with the speed of that hill is sort of frightening to me. I just want to finish and stay on and am not looking for extra speed. I would love to see the ramps at all other races we have. Just my 2 cents.     Rate post 230873 !

It will make fun hill even Faster.Some of us have been practicing through the winter.The Seattle contigent is ready to Rock Salem.That's if all of us heal in time a number of us are pretty beat up from falls and just being old! :-) John     Rate post 230711 !

Seriously, I don't think we need the ramps for the season kick-off BBQ event which will be full of beginners and cobweb-covered skaters... -- Pat     Rate post 230709 !

Now this will be a Really Big and Fast Race! This will make for a Great Season Opener. See Ya next week. John     Rate post 230706 !

Otherwise I'll put on a Big Fast open course race since we haven't had one in a long time. 2) Pat is working with the Salem Parks Dept on the 2 day Salem event of 100 cones and hybrid which will likely be in June. SKATEPARK SLALOM-Hmmm, that Auburn place looks pretty cool, I'd be into doing an outlaw early morning barge-in banked slalom race there. Definately we should have a park slalom at Mukilteo, that would be WAY cool and we might get more people interested in entering it. Hmmm, I kind of like this NCDSA CSA forum, a little more conveniant than CSA emailing in some ways but I'll still keep the CSA email list and send messages out. Adios-P     Rate post 230617 !

We still have the backup plan at the Cell Sunday just in case we need it, hope not! Paul - what I've heard tentatively on park slalom is June 17th Sat at Muk, I think John/Gareth will be rounding out the final plan. If we did that surfy groovy Auburn park it would have to be an outlaw whereas the more gnarly Muk looks like a bonafide "event"     Rate post 230593 !

BANKED/VERT SLALOM- Does it look like it will happen? Will it be Vert slalom at Mukliteo, or Banked slalom at that other park in the video of Hughes, Jackman, and Peters that Peters filmed and emailed out recently? Will we get both? Does anyone have anything starting to solidify on this topic yet? I think we should definately try something, I'm into it even though I don't have a chance at winning in that game. Somebody post something about it so we know what's in the works. Thanks-Paul     Rate post 230585 !

If you DO REALLY want one, let me know. I likely won't be able to make trophies for the BBQ either so the free food will be everyone's winnings for showing up, hopefully I'll get some trophies made for other races. -Adios, Paul     Rate post 230570 !

Think rainy thoughts for the next week but do the NO-Rain dance specifically for March 11th and 12th so the asphalt will dry out. Yeah, that's it, I think it will really work if everyone does it.

Also, April should have a Ridgefield Washington race and I'm putting on a big-course race in Salem in May. I have'nt looked at the contest calender yet but that's something to keep an eye on.
