August 13, 2006
Vail, CO, USA
Vail Pass Outlaw DH Race
$15 entry fee
Entry fee covers shuttle service to top with remaining money going to the top 3 riders. Swag may also be given to racers if sponsors are located.
Details:
This downhill skateboard race will run on the Vail Pass bike trail (the same course used for the 2005 Timeship Racing event). Racers will run in 4 man heats with the top 2 racers from each heat moving on. Qualifying will be chosen from an almost random selection. Racers are encouraged to provide a race/riding history for fair placement in qualifying. Racers may run as many wheels/ trucks as they like. A DOT approved full-face helmet and full safety gear or racing leathers are required. Participants must sign a liability waiver before racing. Minors must have a legal guardian sign their waiver. A shuttle service will provide rides to the top of the course. The course is an almost straight drafting course. Speeds will be low 40s to high 40s.
Race will be held Sunday, August 13th at 9:00 AM.
We will meet at the bottom of the bike path, which is also the entrance to the Gore Creek Campground.
Skaters looking for lodging can stay at Gore Creek Campground which is literally at the bottom of the race course. Camping is $14/ night plus $5/ car. We will be sessioning the hill all day Saturday and staying at the campground Saturday night.
This race is being organized by Ian Ruppert and Nick Cecchi, of the Mile High Rollers, because of the absence of a Colorado DH event this summer. Please RSVP for the race, Contact us with questions, sponsorships, help, or requests for directions.
We are currently looking for people to shuttle racers to the top of the hill. Your gas will be covered for your service. Vans are preferred, but any vehicle will be accepted. If you would like to help by shuttling racers, please e-mail us.
If you are interesting in sponsoring our event, please e-mail either Nick or Ian.

Well, we had a very long talk tonight about the date. We were gonna move it to the 20th, then just looked and that is Tight Slalom. Dannggg. So it looks like the 13th is gonn have to be it, sorry guys.
I would be down for some freeriding the weekend after though, if i can find a ride up to vail or anywhere to skate with you guys. Lettucefresh will be on his way to college in New Orleans. Give me a call, I'll also probably see you at the hybrid and giant slalom. So we can chat there also.
No i have heard of left hand and would much enjoy skating it. Give me a call when you get back in town.
I have driving complications until sept. 21st so I will have trouble getting around with lettuce gone. Give me a call anyways and I could probably work my way up to boulder, my brother lives up there.
Again, sorry guys! Many apologys, this was suposed to be about meeting new people to DH with, but it is looking like we're gonna miss most of them by a week. Even if you guys can't make the race, call me up and lets hit some hills! 720-314-3925!!!!!

Dont mean to piss in your Cheerios but not many people that have paid for the US nationals are going to risk injury and mis that race. Go for the weekend that the Lookout mnt race was going to be One week after Nationals. Just my 2 cents, If it stays where it is Team M&M will have to pass.
