Keep in mind Paulie that it goes 9 a.m. Sat to 9 a.m. Sunday. 24 hours SOLID. So if you feel like coming out at night or whatever, we'll be there. You can set up cones in the morning or something :-D
Oh and please DON'T chop that Gravity BE deck down!!! You forgot I got my name on it!

Hey Paul, Eugene Ultraskate starts in the Valley Parking lot near the Greenway bike bridge on the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Path system, the contest calendar listing has been updated with this map, and I'll get a street address from Conan to Google Map it. Conan's phone is 541-525-8777. He's got a load of sponsors throwing schwag for a relatively small turnout of peeps! I shoot down there Friday late afternoon.

Good to see some slalomers making it out. I hear Puyallup sessions still happening sporadically but I haven't been there in a long time.

Well, oddly enough, more locals stopped by on the Sunday Slalom Session and slalom'd a few runs than usual so that was fun.
James - Where in Eugene is this Ultraskate thingy on Oct 1st anyway???

As of 4:45pm Saterday Sept 17th, www.weather.gov sez' 30% Rain before 11am, and since I'm not getting anything other than 3 local "maybe's", I'm going to show up whenever I get done with things probably in the mid afternoon.
If you are coming from out of Corvallis, BE SURE TO CALL the number shown below.

Hey Salem/Eugene/Corvalis skaters, keep an eye on the weekend of October 1st.
http://www.ncdsa.com/contest_registration.asp?ContestID=520
If you want to come out and throw down some miles with us, or just sit in a lawn chair toss back brewskis all night and yell at us every 4 mile lap until the sun rises again, sign up!!
Here's the dude Conan that's putting it on. He's gunning for Paul Kent's record of 250 miles in 24 hours (set in Greenlake, Seattle)

Direction Addendum....

In regard to getting off of I-5 and onto Highway 34, Go WEST!, as in WEST, that's W-E-S-T to get to Corvallis, not that "other" direction I wrote accidently.
You should be headed AWAY from the Cascade mountains, and TOWARD the Coast Range and the Coast, and the Pacific Ocean and Asia.
Just to be perfectly clear on that matter.

Corvallis Slalom Spot Directions......

On 9/17/2011
Same Slalom'r as before
wrote in from
United States
(38.103.nnn.nnn)
Assuming you are coming from Interstate Number 5:
Take the Hwy 34 exit, go east to Corvallis about 7-10 miles??
Go over a bridge soon after I-5 as you go through/around Tangent, Keep going as it winds around a little here and there,
As you approach Corvallis, You'll see a big golf course to the right and a bigger bridge ahead of you, you will take that bridge and cross over the Willamette River, Be sure to be in the Left lane that is NOT a left turn lane and drive up and over the Willamette River in the Left lane of the bridge.
Next, look for 2nd Street, turn LEFT and slowly cruise through the small but lovely downtown Corvallis, go as far as you can go. You will likely be blocked near the very end of 2nd street by a big water/sewer renovation project.
If you are clever, you can go to the right and make a loop around and return to 2nd and go a little farther. Or if you want to keep it simple, park somewhere and walk to the river, there you will see the Riverfront Walkway, it will lead you down a small slope, that is where the action will be, either right there or a little farther down you will see our not-so-gnar but still fun skatepark(complete with a lot of BMX'rs), and the slaloming may be right next to the skatepark.
Again, ALL WHO ARE DEFINATELY COMING, CALL (541)754-7826 AFTER 5PM TODAY SO I'LL KNOW WHEY YOU PLAN ON COMING.
See you there - Paul

Well, the weather forcast for Sunday Sept 18th on www.weather.gov is improving to only 20% showers after 11am.
So, I'm planning on slaloming.
Again, If anyone is interested, post here or call or email me and I'll be there by 10:00 am or whenever people can make it, otherwise, I'm going to do "stuff" until I'm done and then I'll go just go down to the slalom spot whenever I get around to it.

Ugghh, I have some weird thing going this year with slalom get-togethers of any sort and the weather, I just went to www.weather.gov which at the moment is stating "showers likely" for this Sunday.
Stay tuned, we'll see what transpires between now and then since it's still 4-5 days away (depending on how you count) and things can change a lot by then, or not at all.
Adios - Paul

Corvallis Slalom Session Sunday Sept 18th????

Weather permitting, I'll be slalomimg Sunday Sept 18th in Corvallis, Oregon.
It's pretty easy to find where it'll be, I'll give details if there's any interest. It will be downtown near and/or next to the skatepark. We may have to change locations, that won't be a big deal. Bring a park board too just in case.
Helmets will be required.
Here's the "Deal":
Single lane, slight pitch to the asphalt and/or cement riverfront walkways/bike paths, 70-ish cones, tight/hybrid, course can be changed around throughout the day if people want. I'll setup with my usual goofy mix of features. It's Not a race, there will be no timer, this is not a BBQ, but we can get take out pizza during the session or go get pizza afterward.
Start time 10:00 am-ish IF OTHERS CONTACT ME AND PLAN ON COMING,
If anyone is interested, post here or use the name-click-email-thingy or call (541)754-7826, and I'll be there before 10:00 AM, IF NOONE CONTACTS ME, I'M GOING TO CHANGE MY DIFFERENTIAL FLUID IN MY TRUCK OR FLY MY GLIDER AND JUST SHOWUP WHENEVER I GET AROUND TO IT.

Fast GS with ramps in Seattle TOMORROW

Deano organizing a GS in Seattle... Just saw this on NWLB, it was only posted a couple days ago:
"A free 2 man boardercross is happening at Raineer Avenue South and Branden street at noon on Saturday until 3 pm. This is a official race on a closed city street.
This is not much of a boardercross, more of a open GS course with a couple of ramps that should be a little taller than a a curb.
I have some decks (load3, S9 and 5 mile) wheels (Otang and S9) and all sorts of other stuff. Come on out and race! "

Sept BBQ Cancelled for 2011

Sorry but I just have too much stuff piling up so I'm going to just call it a "NO GO" and put it off for, hopefully, Spring 2012.
When I get back from Wyoming, and if my shoulder is doing OK, I might be into a slalom session and most likely it will be in CORVALLIS since I will be really, really, really sick of driving. It won't be exciting or "gnar" either, it will be on the Riverfront walkway next to or near the Corvallis Skatepark and very "Euro".
Thanks- Paul

Aug/Sept-n-2nd job-siding-paint-n-BBQ's

On 8/3/2011
Pauliwog

(38.103.nnn.nnn)
Here's my current situation, I'm in the middle of re-siding parts of my house(which means removal of the old, pre-priming, painting, installation of the new, caulking, etc, etc, etc), and I'm going to do it well(not just "good enough") which obviously needs to be done BEFORE the rains start, my 2nd job is keeping me busier than I really want to be and Aug 28th-Sept 10th I'll be gone to Wyoming.
If I don't get EVERYTHING siding-related done on the house prior to the Wyoming trip, I won't be at the BBQ because I'm not going to risk rain on open-frame portions of my house or delay things for a week or more to put on a BBQ, or risk not getting my siding project done because the rains start.
Also, long story made short, that trip often ends up with a loose and easily dislocating left shoulder by the time I get back, so I'm not real sure about the whole idea of slaloming the week or 2 afterward anyway.
That makes the whole thing for me less than 50% likely given my current everything-included-sitation so I'm not ruling it out for me, but I'm not going to plan on definately being there either and have a heart attack or stroke in the process of trying to do way, way too many things in possibly too little time. Right now my house is my total priority, the trip 2nd, and everything else is way, way on a back-burner at this point.
***SO, The real question is:
DOES EVERYONE WANT ME TO LEAVE IT ON THE SCHEDULE(and on the date posted, other dates don't seem any better for me at this point) SO EVERYONE(else besides me) CAN PLAN ON A SLALOM EVENT?, or should I just cancel it outright.
If I don't get any responses, and if I decide to cancel, it will be done before August 28th before I leave so everyone knows way ahead of time.
Thanks - Paul

I may not be available on Sept 18th Sunday to do the BBQ, so the thought of everyone else being there but me is NOT a problem for me and does NOT bother me in the least. Although, seeing everyone is pretty fun.
So,
Does everyone else want to keep it on that date?
Does anyone mind(or prefer) if it gets changed to Sept 25th Sunday?
If I can't make it anyway and more people would prefer to do it on a Saterday, post here and let me know and I'll change the date to a Saterday.
Or, if people in general aren't interested/able altogether due to other events going on, I will gladly just cancel it out for the year since I have plenty to do otherwise anyway, and then try again next spring.
Thanks - Paul

I ordered 10 ISSA T-shirts to sell at the State Games of Oregon. Unfortunately, they arrive just AFTER the event.
If you want one ($20 -- a portion goes to ISSA for fundraising), then let me know.
They can be seen on ISSA web site (slalom skateboarder dot com).
Otherwise, I will see if I can get someone to sell them at LaCosta for me.
