Westwood Ski and Sports Club and the International
Gravity Sports Association (IGSA) are pleased to announce
the 2003 California Championship gravity racing series,
with races at West LA College for skateboard, inline skate,
classic luge (buttboard), street luge, and gravity bikes. All
races will count towards the IGSA world rankings. 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 (dropping each racer's worst result in each
discipline). Sponsors include Turner Downhill wheels,
Oust Bearings, Ed Economy longboards and Kryptonics wheels.
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).
Sunday July 20 at West LA College will feature giant slalom
(skateboard, longboard, and inline) and tight slalom racing.
C Street will also be available for downhill practice.

California Slalom Series #2 Results
(California Championship Series date 3)
West LA College, California
July 20, 2003
The second slalom of the 2003 California Championship series
(and third date of the race series) at West LA College
featured a very tight and challenging tight slalom and a very fast
and wide open giant slalom, and sunny, hot weather. The interest
in the slalom races continues to build, with 35 racers and lots of
friends and family watching and helping and shooting videos and
photos.
Every race in both the men's and women's racing had a different
winner. The times were tighter than ever, with Mike Maysey winning
the skateboard GS by a mere 0.003 seconds!
Thanks go to 3dm Sport for supplying wheels as prizes and to
Ed Economy and Gravity Skateboards for filling up the prize pool.
