Go Show Some Slalom Interest In Tennessee!

All of y'all in North Carolina, Jaw Ja, South Carolina Kentucky and surrounding environs: if you haven't already, go over and registers at www.skateTN.com (Tennessee's website.)

Go to this topic on their discussion forum:

Bobt3 makes it sound like he has found a killer spot in KNOXVILLE for some single lane hybrid and GS courses. Show him some support. Me and Brian Parsons are talking about more than a couple of Outlaw races this winter and we definetely want to get something going in Tennessee.

Remember: this is AUGUST. We're talking about something this WINTER. After the Dixie Cup. Something in December, maybe January if the weather holds, February and so on. Getting the idea together now, though, will fuel the stoke a little into this winter.

Let the boys know we'd love to get a scene report on all they've got going...

Has RWadley or Tim Shawl ever reported anything to you about the races they have in Nashville? I think their spot is a sloped area at the Titans' football stadium parking lot.

I've never met any of these guys. I just pop on to their site now and then to let them know if something is going on in North Carolina, Mississippi or somewhere nearby. I keep hoping the Nashville crew will make it to St. Louis. They are only about four hours away.

I've shot e-mails back and forth with the Nashville guys. Never got to skate with any of them as of yet. I guess I need to keep my eye on SkateTN more often.

I've tried in the past to get things rolling down in Alabama as well and need to get off my butt and work a bit harder getting things going here in Louisville as well. Maybe if Tennessee gets going it will spur the surrounding states as well.

We slalom here in Nashville. We just do it for fun. The scene is getting better. I don't think many of us want to travel to slalom. There are a few folks that might, but most of us wouldn't. We no longer post slalom on SkateTN because it is a public forum and all our races are outlaw. Once we get a little better, maybe we'll start traveling a little and inviting people to our races. There is only one of us that slaloms exclusively. The majority of the rest of us focus on transition skating.
