SOON!!!!!!!!!! Sunday at Marble Falls Subway will provide lunch for the competitors. And PMC this is a skateboard contest. Not a banquet

. Here is hopiing everyoone arrives safely. Schwag pile may be a bit thin this year. Blame it on the recession. Lord knows I have bought alot of products from these companies. Special thanks to Mike Hirsch of Socalskates he sent us a fair amount of stuff. The box was heavy, very heavy. See ya soon. Your Amigo Eddy Texas Outlaws.

We will be sending down a "Swordfish" for the schwag pile w/ Doug from pressure drop. Hope you all enjoy and happy racing!

The longboard/speedboard companies really do not give a damm about our event. Or for DownHill in Texas for that matter. And yes I did ask them for schwag but nada. Got the emails to prove it. So please try not to cram the pics of this years DownHill contest with your rigs. Because those companies do not care about DownHill in Texas. SHAME ON YOU. Thanks Shaun and Mig.

Eddy, thanks for putting on another great event. Louis and Greg will bring the Fullbag schwag.

I wish I could make it to Austin to race with you guys. Have fun dudes!

I feel for you COSS guys. I too am driving in and it looks like I'll be driving through rain, hail, tornadoes and whatever else Mother Nature has in her bag of driving nightmares. The closer the Sizzler gets the worse the Weather Channel says the weather is going to be.

Here's wishing a safe trip to everyone. If by land or by air or by sea(?).

**Barnett** · 03-25-2009 10:57 PM

Who wants to meet for a little session @ Round Rock, Friday evening? What time is best for that place? I'm just trying to plan my arrival and impending Austin rush hour commute.

Borto...what time are you gonna run cones? It'd be cool if I could mess around with this TS set up I'm working on...especially since I've never ridden any of it.

**Eddy Martinez** · 03-26-2009 01:52 AM

Here is hoping everyone makes it to Austin Safely. Now for those of you who got smiles on you face when I said I would not be running the contest next year.. Wrong. I will allways have a say in our Contest and lend a helping hand.. We are about promoting DownHill Slalom. The art of carving at speed and being able to pump your board going downhill. I can see 3 full days of slalom competiton in our future. Long Live DOWNHILL SLALOM. Your Amigo Eddy Texas Outlaws.

In about 12 hours, Babs and I will be hoping in the xB for the 1.5 hour drive to Austin!!

Borto...is there a practice session tomorrow? I got the TS deck gripped and I'll pay ya for those Aces! (I hope this thing skates worth a damn. )

Anybody else have any input on RoundRock...times, etc.?

Man, I'm stoked!

**SweetCatarina** · 03-26-2009 11:01 PM

Just talked to Chris Pappas.... he & Martin Reaves are stuck in Pueblo, Colorado. All the roads are closed. If they don't open up soon, they may have to go back to Boulder.
George is taking a different route, he's in New Mexico.... the snow is blowing sideways on the higway.
Safe travels to everyone.
God Speed.
