Skate mom racing at the US Nationals 2014 thrills and no spills!

Skateboard mom racing the Giant slalom. Mom weekend with my skate pal John Ravitch. Here is a view of the GS from yesterday photo taken by Jim Goodrich. The first race of the day was the GS they usually run the tight first and end up leaving before the awards ceremony at the end of the day. Well they ran the single lane GS first and I thought I would give it a try. I started from the where the fences ended on my first run then worked my way to the next 4 straight cones stretch. They called out a racers meeting and then we were supposed to run two qualifying runs and fastest run is your time. I had not run from the top. They had an option B run further down from the top with a 10 second penalty. I was on the fence about starting from the top since it was already smoking fast from below the B option.

Big thank you to Chris Favero who walked me through the top and told me where to go wide and scrub off speed. Jamie Hart told me he hadn't gone from the top and he was going to go from the side of the ramp. I hit his tape when he started his run. I was after him so it gets nervy when you are watching your friend go down and then you are next. He made the course so I went and made the course and then Cliff Coleman went. We all gave high fives and hugs at the bottom. We use to all skate in the 70's together for Santa Cruz Skateboards. Who'd of thought we would still be racing. They're in their 60's and I'm in my 50's! Second run Jamie tells me he's going to go off the ramp. I'm like okay? Walking up to the top I wasn't sure I would try going off the ramp. But again as I watched Jamie step up to the ramp and I'm like damn now I'm going to want to do the same and of course I did. I was stoked to take on the hill and make it down the course. It was fast and such a rush.

Big thank you to my Crossfit coach Chris Morse at Crossfit West. Crossfit and skateboarding I highly recommend it. My legs and core are so much stronger. Going down the hill is only half of the race. The other half is walking back up the hill over and over again.

Maybe I should retag and label Badass Skatemom then maybe the skating cow photo won't come up. No offense to the Cow but skate mom should have a skate shot of a skate mom which there are plenty of them out there. Google searches. lol

Back from the Sk8Kings US Slalom Nationals 2014 Day 1

Had a great time racing for the past two days. Saturday was the Hybrid race a dual slalom course. Jamie Hart and I pushed each other. We both had not made the course from the top when we had to run our two qualifying races. Jamie said he was going to start on the side of the ramp. Which is common and then someone hit the timer tape while you go. We both climbed on the ramp and waited for the start. The start has a 4 beep system you go on after the forth beep. We'll is random and the forth beep seemed to never come so I was like is that it after the third and then I started Jamie stayed and then the forth beep went. Someone said at the first cone I was like G-Damn it! We both made the run and got times. The second run we did the same. I ended up placing 8 th in the masters with the men.

After the race we headed to the Reunion Social/Exhibition Race where many of the original slalom racers were running cones. Di Dootson organized the La Costa Reunion Social/Exhibition Race. We made a circle and held hands and Dennis Martinez officiated a prayer for all the skaters, surfers and friends we had lost this year. On this same day they had a paddle out for Shugo Kubo on Venice Beach and a memorial for Sonny Miller. We had lost slogger and skate Legend Chris Yandell earlier in the year.

After this we headed to the Racer/La Costa Reunion Dinner Party & Signal Hill Documentary Screening Got to meet Tina Trefethen at the event and many other legendary downhill skaters. Great to see Guy Grundy, Michael Williams, the Logan family and many others.

Sk8Kings US Nationals - July 18-20, 2014 Oceanside, CA So Cal Racing and La Costa Boys - are hosting the biggest racing event in North America AND have joined forces with the 2nd Viva La Costa Reunion crew – for one epic weekend.
