Westwood Ski and Sports Club and the International
Gravity Sports Association (IGSA) are pleased to announce
the 2002 California Championship gravity racing series,
with races at West LA College for skateboard, inline skate,
classic luge (buttboard), street luge (both with and without pegs/booms),
and gravity bikes. All races will count
towards the IGSA world rankings, including slalom this
year! There will be a variety of awards and prizes at each race, and
at the end of the series there will be special series
awards for the top point-getters.
Each of the dates will have racing for several sports and
practice available at a reduced price for the sports not
competing on that date. The events will take place rain
or shine, but if it rains the schedules may change (for
example a tight slalom might be postponed for rain, but
luge would race in the rain).
Typical Schedule (note that qualifying and race times may vary):
9:00 Setup
10:00 Registration and practice starts
11:00 Downhill qualifying (luge, inline, bike; when applicable)
12:00 Start of races

Day memberships are available for $5/day, and are required for all
riders who are not full members (i.e.: non-member fees are $30, $40,

guardian, and will be charged only a practice fee even if they race.

the street cleaning and setup in the morning (and then teardown and
cleanup at the end) will receive a free race entry!
Manufacturers and shop owners, it's not too late to supply prizes
for these races! You can even just show up with something to
add to the prize pool, and bring your banner to hang. We'll be
sure to mention you in upcoming announcements. Thanks to
Turner Downhill for kicking things off with sets of their new Cambria
skateboard wheels, and to Kryptonics and Hyper for inline
wheel prizes and Bones Bearings for their long time support!
Protective gear: for slalom and giant slalom helmets, pads
(elbow and knee), and hand protection (gloves and/or wrist
guards) are required, and hip pads are recommended. Please,
no short shorts or tank tops. For street luge, buttboard, downhill
skating, and gravity bikes, IGSA equipment rules will be used (helmets,
leathers, and leather gloves are required). We're building an
equipment pool to loan to new riders and people who forget things,
please donate your old gear, it may save someone a long trip home!
See you there!

| Overall Results: |
While many were away on summer vacation, we had the
second slalom of the 2002 California Championship series at
West LA College in comfortable partly cloudy weather. The
courses were set fast and smooth and caused few DQ's, and
with the best of 3 format all racers got results.
Richy Carrasco took the tight slalom and Steve Olsen took
the open board GS (on a longboard) and Turner Cambria Wheels.
Chicken Deck then took the longboard GS, and Scott Peer posted
the fastest time on the hill on inlines. The finale was the sudden death
tiebreaker for the skateboard cash, between Attila, Richy , and
Chicken, with Chicken starting last, but finishing first.
