Default Slidefest 2008?

Has anyone heard or seen anything about it? Is it happening this year? Usually it's announced by now. I need to book flights N ####, Otherwise it's a no go?

Haven't heard anything about it. Will definitely be going if it's on, though (sure hope so!).

Agreed brother. I'm worried about general EW attendence. Jess and I are down to compete but there is slim chance that we can afford tickets if it gets too much farther along.

There is another East Coast slide janm , the day after the Broadway Bomb. If any one is interested...

We are feeling the same here in England. It's takes planning commitment and plenty of money to come to what is a great event. So looking forward to skating with everyone, it would be a disaster if the details come to late. I contacted Guto and Sergio and the latest is Michael is looking for a new hill for the contest, not easy to give info out if you don't have a confirmed location. Make some noise and see if we can get things rolling.

Uhhhhhh I am pretty sure it is the first weekend in November like it has been the past 2 years, but I do not know for sure. I'll see if Breamo can post an update for you all tomorrow or at least sometime this week.

Thanks WD-40, going to get this organised, good to know it's on. Looks like I will see you and all the other sliders for some top class downhill carnage.

Right on guys. I don't think I'm going to be there this year. American economy sucks, plane tickets aren't as important to me as rent. HA!

I am seriously bummed. . . . Ah F##K it, I'll just go slide through traffic in Spanish Harlem and get my kicks elsewhere.

Have fun guys.

( heh, fungi )
