Hollywood 90210 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I will be there. It isn't a very big hill but it is fun to skate, so don't be afraid to come down and give it a try. If you are new to slalom just ask for some pointers, everyone is usually happy to help out new racers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 yeah the Fullbag team is coming down from Canada too. Honestly I can't wait just because it's such fun thing to do. I don't have any major slalom type hills here but a bunch of gradual hills that are good for cones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxguitarist Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 i might have to head up & check this out... i can pretend i have a slalom board and ride my 30'' or 35'' gecko, sorry your board is taking so long- i should be able to get it painted this week & then its just an issue of when the grip comes:biggthump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood 90210 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 There is an active slalom group on the NW. . Check out http://www.ncdsa.com/contests.asp for some upcoming events. Most people into skateboard slalom are willing to help out new riders. Go to a local race or practice, introduce your self ask a few questions and give it a try. If it is a big race you may be able to make some contacts and get wired into the local scene. I will be going out for a race July 6,7,8 in Hood River.

Gecko Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 looks fun, if they have something like that locally ever I will have to give it a go. I think I have a board I could do a tight slalom on... ...I just like to ride for fun though, not sure if I'd want to do this more than once. I gotta try sometime yes well you have Maryhill which I would trade for slalom (though very fun) any day. Andrew no rush it's not like I'm flying out any time in the immediate future (knock on wood) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
