You can all come over and help us move in. We close on the Monday after the race. Just look for the pile of stuff in the yard, my wife will tell you where to put it in the house.

And a ramp is planned for the garage. Gotta have somewhere to teach my 2 year old son to skate. ;-}

Tommy - too good to be true; I have to bail and opened up the spot. I have to work now confirmed. Contest Sign-up Now 39. Will miss you guys,

Too bad Lavin. I'll see you at Dixie right?

**Lisa BailDog** · 09-01-2009 08:08 PM

I'm afraid I might have to work, also.
The economy has really kicked me in the wallet. Living on fumes,
paycheck to paycheck. Probably can't get my car in shape for the trip
to KY. That's if it doesn't get repo'ed.

some sort of good thing might happen yet, so I won't delete my entry on
NCDSA yet....hoping.....

Haha the course was insane, 59 cones and huge offsets then ending in good ol' tight slalom it felt like.

well, we just chose slalom cause the only people who do it are old farts and we figured they'd be the easiest people to beat opposed to the other youngsters doing DH

Hey Guys

I notice the sign up is closed up on NCDSA, I'm trying to make it but have been waiting to know for sure if I can get off work. Schedules in retail are crazy, never sure until the last moment.

Hope to be able to come race and have fun

**Petary791** · 09-07-2009 03:28 PM

Apparently I missed the registration on NCDSA, I can still race right?

**mangels** · 09-07-2009 07:30 PM

Yeah - the ncdsa site is undergoing some sort of major overhaul. OK with me ... I always thought that site was kinda junkie looking.

**heyburt** · 09-07-2009 11:23 PM

Post often, Post at the current site. Seems like a change on NCDSA.com may have upset things.

I am planning a site seeing tour from MN to KY. If anyone knows of any "must see" spots post them here. I may actually make a book out of the trip!

Leaving MN on 9/16, returning on 9/22 if you've got the time I've got the stoke.

Skate'em if You Got'em

**sniffleless** · 09-08-2009 06:05 PM

Skate spots or other type spots?

**Traveler** · 09-11-2009 04:43 PM

I just got word from Sniffleless the Conefest entry field has been raised up to 48. Come on boys and girls get those LAST 8 spots.

**sniffleless** · 09-11-2009 05:24 PM

Thanks to the upgrade at ncdsa you may not be able to remove yourself from the sign up.
IF you know you are not going to be able to go PLEASE let it be known and contact Lenny or you can contact me and I will pass the word on to Lenny.

And yes the sign up cut off has been raised to 48. That means some new spots are open and for you mathletes that can add up to 3 brackets of 16 if they choose to go that route.

**sniffleless** · 09-13-2009 10:42 AM

Okay it has been brought to my attention that maybe some of you don't know where the race hills are for the weekend. So I guess I'll tell you.

Saturday is on 17th St in downtown between Greenup Ave and Winchester Ave. You can park in the parking lot at the corner of 17th and Greenup.

Sundays race is on Ramey St. That would be right off 13th St/hwy 60 just south of downtown.

See you there!
