West Linn Skatepark Slalom

The Start box. Practice was interesting to watch- those who know the course had no problem charging around- those 'first timers' had bulging eyeballs and butterflies were booming. Some guys tried it twice- and said- forget it. This event challenged everyone who entered.

Course went up quick this year- A few minor tweaks here and there- Wally added his complicated 'Brokeback' turns in the deep bowl but made the finish fast. Thanks to everyone that helped out.

Everyone waiting for the results and awards to be given out.

The awards. Handcrafted and customized. 1st, 2nd and 3rd received some glass.

For the first time at this event- we had a massive 8 and Under class- so I quickly set a course on the deck of the West Linn skatepark that wasn't 'intimidating' is the now dubbed 'Peewee Course' and it hosted some really good racing. These little guys were jazzed on it.
