Cinco
De Mayo. What a day to kick off the first round of
the IGSA California Championship Series. The event
took place at the West LA City College in Culver
City. Five different disciplines were contested at
the event. They were Tight Slalom, inline, Stock
gravity bike, 3/4 fairing gravity bike, street luge
and buttboarding. The turn out was pretty thin,
with the inline guys making up the bulk of
competitors. And in a strange twist, only one luge
rider showing. The hill was fun. Its a little over
an 1/8th mile, that drops straight down into a
right hander onto a flat parking lot followed by a
short chute. Finally leading you into the crucial
hairpin where the race is won or lost. The
buttboarding competiton was made up of 4 riders.
Jason Johnson, Earl Ross, Scott Peer, and Chase
Orta.
