Calgary Slalom

**Christophish** · 01-27-2008 05:12 PM

OK... Trying to get the slalom scene in Calgary going well. Edmonton is growing, it would be nice to get an Alberta circuit up.

Here's where we can post about sessions, outlaws, or whatever. It's winter right now...so I'm sure we won't be active yet. But I'm wondering: Anyone have a line on parkades like U of C Arts or others?? What would it be like for slalom?? Some winter training would be nice. I know you bombers out there hit it from time to time.... What do you think?

Don't go to the parkade. We have been getting kicked out faster and faster.

If you're interested in getting together with more slalomers I would talk to Slob Air.

Oh I know Slob well.... He is one of 3 in our core group. We are trying to expand our group larger, trying to get young guys into it as well. So yeah, if you want to try it, post up! We'll get things going in the spring.

Hoping to do a few this summer at conehenge, as well as in my town just east of Calgary.... Problem is our crew is so small. Hopefully you can bring some othah suckahs with you if you come! Conehenge is a fun ass hill for both GS and Hella-fast Hybrid!

C'mon Calgary Longboarders, post up and you can try slalom out!

There is a very slight one in front of the boneyard. Alas I must commute for real hills! CONEHENGE=40 minutes my driveway to the first cone!
