Wit, you ripped in your runs!
I hope you can make it to the ASR show in San Diego in Sept. for the WFSA California State Flatland Freestyle Championship 2003. I will need judges, lawyers, money, etc. to assist in the event.
There will be, among other things, a Longboard Contest, and a Frank Hill/Revolver Skateboards Highest Ollie Contest.

Check this out:
No Cal Flatland Jam series regulars bring home the Casper Classic U.S. Championship gold!
Manual "the Man" Rodriguez, the pride of Napa, is your new ( like when the hell was the last one?) United States Flatland Freestyle Skateboard Champion in the un sponsored Am Division. He won with those long controlled space walks and a few great combinations.
Hanging in there at 4th place (in the same division as Manual), the day after his 60th birthday, is steelwheel Bob. Hey! at least I didn't come in last!
Nils "Da Frog" Hanson also captures a first place win to become the United States Flatland Freestyle Skateboard Champion in the unsponsored Am 13-15 division. Nils skated unopposed but would have been a threat to anyone in his age group with tricks like a Primo slide, a 50/50 540 flip, and rail to rail flips. Nils had the longest Primo slide of any contestant Am or Pro, and he pulls it up one footed occasionally. He will probably be the man to beat next year in his division at the US Championships, but you can take a shot at him in San Diego at the WFSA California State Flatland Freestyle Championships this Sept.
Nils also finished 3rd in the High Jump Open behind a few adult pros. Nils will be bringing the high jump bar to Rengsdorff Park next month.
A little Staton family trivia: We are now the first and only three generation freestyle skateboard champions in skateboarding history.
Robert Staton (son), Oceanside, 1977 at age 7. (Robert is the guy that takes all
pics at the No Cal Jams)
"steelwheel Bob" Staton (father), Escondido, 1979 at age 34.
Nils "Da Frog" Hanson (grandson), Casper Classic Long Beach, 2003 at age 13

Can you give more details on the runs and leave out the part about the chicks,nobody cares about chicks doing vert,all they do is stick there butt way out and bend their knee's and maybe hit the coping,it's so weak ,who cares about that and leave out high jump and 360's if they cant hit 25,slippery surface my foot,that would make you go faster and spin longer. Dagoo the pro. P.S.what happened to the president of Dagoo fan club?

we've heard about the whole idea about freestylers being queer. well here's a poll to see just what the sexual preferences of freestylers really are. remember these polls are anonymous. honesty would be appreciated. I'm curious to see just how queer, bi or straight freestylers really are....

This weeks flatland/slalom jam options.
Terry Synnott has brought to my attention that a few Casper Classic contestents, that are interested in slalom may be going to the WLAC race instead of the Edison Park Jam this Sunday, so I thought I would post the WLAC race info. for those of you that may want to choose that option. It s possible to make it to both, as the Edison Park jam will run from 10:00am until 5:00 pm.
I have no idea how many skaters will show up at any of the three, Hermosa Pier, Venice Beach Strand and Edison Park Huntington Beach Jams, but the locations are offered as well known and historic gathering places for the Casper Classic contestants and the Southern California flatland freestyle regulars to meet in a non competitive low stress athmosphere. The " Philly Connection" may make an appearence at the Edison Park jam.
All are invited to an informal (Bob Staton 60th Birthday) dinner party at the Mexican restaurant next to the skate area at the Hermosa Pier. The Hermosa Jam is 5:00 pm Thursday the 17th, until 9:00pm, and the dinner party is at 7:00 pm.
Hi, Terry,
Glad you mentioned that. The WLAC race is Sunday also and if the Carrascos are in town, that's where they will be. I had originally attempted to work out a deal with the promoter of the slalom race, at Maria's suggeston, to let us have our jam there with them as a number of freestylers are also active slalom racers. The problem is that there is an entry fee to cover the insurance requirements of the race area that must be paid by anyone that shows up, even for a flatland jam, and full saftey gear would be required. Beside that, the surface is not all that great for flatland, and the flat area is a ways away from the race hill. So, it was decided to have the flatland jam at Edison Park. I will post the WLAC race as an option to the Edison Park Jam. However! Maria also said that it is a common practice to have a short flatland jam in the parkng lot right after the race. What I recommend is to hit the Edison Park Jam at 10:00am and hang for an hour or so, then run up to WLAC and check out the races and hang out for the (underground) post race flatland jam that may or may not happen, so take your pick.
I will be skating in the un sponsored 16 and over Am division along with Manual Rodriguez, (Jessy Sanchez, James Santillan ???), and Denis Sopovic. We will probably compete some time between 11:00 am and noon. I can hardly skate at all these days, my appearance is just for the novelty and to support the event in general.
More later, Bob

Bobmart-you obviously dont know me, I relish in antoganizing people and always put my name to a post, Dagoo has chutzpah, humor, and an uncanny ability to stump us all, He f#@!in Rules!, just do a search here and see how he has jostled with the slalom guys, the speedboarders etc etc.
Dagoo-the fan club is growing, I'm think of making memebership cards and stickers.

I just got back from a hot day of skating.
The placings do not reflect the actual performances. Unfortunately the judging was a little sketchy as the organiszers did not use any guidlines.
Some guys already got to the contest site on Saturday to warm up and meet with friends. It was a small contest and jam atmosphere and I guess most of us do not take these results really seriously.
At least the list of participants shows that Freestyle is growing in Germany too, as we had quite a few new faces entering their first contest.
Meeting new Freestyle entusiasts was more important than a placing.
To give you an idea what happend at the awards ceremonies:
Ullrich was announced first place, but he refused to accept it and handed it over to Peter Ruschel, who had a blazing hot first run.
The points were so close in the top 5 that an inconsistency in judging of 10 points made a whole difference.....
Conclusion:
Go out and have fun, meet new people.
Don't complain about judging if you did not distribute judging guidelines.
Work on a better format for next year.
As this was part of a street contest, the organizers were really stoked to have a growing number of Freestylers participating.
YOYO, the guy who snapped his board during practice
