The Seismic U.S. Nationals ofSlalom Skateboarding
 July 11 - 12, 2009 Overlook Drive Lafayette, Colorado June 17, 2009 – Over 50 elite skateboard racers from throughout the U.S. and beyond will meet July 11 - 12 on Overlook Drive in Lafayette, Colorado, for the Seismic U.S. Nationals of Slalom Skateboarding – the highlight of the 2009 season of American skateboard slalom racing. Spectator admission is free. Colorado is the epicenter of American skateboard slalom racing, and Overlook Drive is one of the best slalom hills in the nation – with smooth, grippy pavement, a consistent 9% grade, and double-wide lanes. Racers will reach up to 35 mph as they speed through twisting courses in both head-to-head and single-lane formats. Champions in multiple divisions –Juniors, Amateurs, Masters and Professionals both male and female – will be crowned in four disciplines. Hybrid Slalom, Tight Slalom and Giant Slalom are traditional formats, but making its debut at the Nationals is SK8RCROSS – a mashup of slalom, downhill, boarder cross and roller derby. A unique starting mechanism will hurtle competitors onto the Giant Slalom and SKRCROSS courses on Sunday. Overall titles will also be awarded to the combined champion of each division. Winners in the professional category will receive thousands of dollars in cash prizes. |
