It would be nice to revert to days old style and just
let it be a first come, first serve kind of thing in
person, or, failing that, that we could simply take
care of every longboarder who wants to attend a
certain event and allow them the time they want,
need, and would love on a closed road with all their
bros.
Sadly (and very happily), there are just too darn
many of us to make it happen in days of old style.
We've stepped beyond the boundaries of "grass-
roots" and are entering into a world of organization
and punctuality, which is necessary when there are
192 dudes on top of a hill all wanting to be
bracketed and racing. There are some people who
travel from the complete other side of the world
(Zeid I think rules it coming all the way from UAE)
to the races that we've grown up with and they
MUST be guaranteed, or not guaranteed a pre-
determined spot so as to make their travel plans.
As much as it sucks, you'll just have to join in on
the internet fun that we all must in order to
guarantee our fun and place in an organized event.
Good luck getting in next time, you might need to
pay attention to Coast and the clock, but that's
about it!
