Gravity Sports Association (IGSA) are pleased to announce
the 2003 California Championship gravity racing series,
with races at West LA College for skateboard, inline skate,
classic luge (buttboard), street luge, and gravity bikes. All
races will count towards the IGSA world rankings. There will
be a variety of awards and prizes at each race, and at the
end of the series there will be special series awards for the
top point-getters (dropping each racer's worst result in each
discipline). Sponsors include Turner Downhill wheels,
Oust Bearings, Ed Economy longboards and Kryptonics wheels.

Each of the dates will have racing for several sports and
practice available at a reduced price for the sports not
competing on that date. The events will take place rain
or shine, but if it rains the schedules may change (for
example a tight slalom might be postponed for rain, but
luge would race in the rain).

Sunday October 12 at West LA College will feature luge (all
kinds), downhill inline, downhill skateboard, and gravity bikes
on C Street. D Street will be available for slalom practice.

Joining Westwood Ski and Sports Club as a full member is
encouraged, and entitles you to participate in ski and snowboard
races and trips, water ski trips, parties, skating practices,
equipment discounts, and more. Please bring your checkbook to
become a full member ($30/year). Day memberships are available
for $5/day, and are required for all riders who are not full members
(i.e.: non-member fees are $40, $30, and $15). Juniors (under 18)
must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and will be charged
only a practice fee even if they race. Spectators are free. Also, the
first few who come early to help with the street cleaning and setup
in the morning will receive a free race entry!

Manufacturers and shop owners, it's not too late to supply prizes
for these races! You can even just show up with something to
add to the prize pool, and bring your banner to hang. We'll be
sure to mention you in upcoming announcements.

Protective gear: IGSA equipment rules will be used.
For slalom and giant slalom this means helmets, pads
(elbow and knee), and hand protection (gloves and/or wrist
guards) are required, and hip pads are recommended. Please,
no short shorts or tank tops. For street luge, buttboard,
gravity bikes, and downhill skateboard and inline, helmets,
leathers, and leather gloves are required. We're building an
equipment pool to loan to people who forget things, please
donate your old gear, it may save someone a long trip home!

See you there!

Scott
