Still working on it

I was going to give up and posted on twitter that I was done. But got re-inspired to keep trying a bit longer for an October 2009 event. Even if it is smaller than what we originally hoped for. I'll keep you posted. Thanks folks for hanging in their.

Marcus and I walked the course and checked out the pavement, run out, start, finish, road closure and nearest beer drinking establishment that would love to have skaters play pool and hang out. We found the Bay Bar & Grill 209 Espanade Street. Matt the owner was super nice. The place is going to be perfect for an autograph signing or awards hangout.

We will keep you posted as we go through the permit process.

The Capitola Classic

Will it be a downhill race? Slalom race? Street skate? Decade’s later people still talk about this race. I am going to try and revive it. There are slalom and downhill races going on throughout the US and Worldwide. When they had skate events in the streets of Capitola it was a great community gathering for both young and old. The Capitola Classic event received international attention and people that were there still talk about it over 25 years later. It brought lots of excitement and energy to the village and of course revenue. My first slalom race on this hill was 1975 I was 15. I’d like to help more young skaters to have a memorable experience like that at least once in their life.
