We're glad you found the capitol of Northest skateboard slalom racing. Part of the Antrim Home & Harvest Festival on September 19th, the Antrim Can/Am Slalom Championships now attract some of the biggest crowds and most talented riders in North America.
Last
year's race had the reigning world champion and a world record time was
set for one of the three events, the 100 cone tight slalom.
As
word has spread about Antrim's friendly venue, the competition keeps
getting better and better, so we expect that this year's race to
be
killer!
Watching the Race
There are three races over the course of three days as part of the Antrim Can/Am Slalom Championships on Antrim's Summer Street, located in the center of downtown Antrim.
See YouTube video from the 2007 race
A world record was set in 2008 in the 100 cone tight slalom by Richy Carrasco. See Richy run 100 cones in 21.179 Seconds
We even have fireworks -- part of our Home & Harvest Festival.
See the 2008 fireworks on a YouTube video
o Friday is qualifying & racing a mind-numbing 100-cone tight slalom.
o Saturday, during the Home & Harvest Festival is the Race for the Old Gold Jug, a dual 50-cone Hybrid Slalom with A, B & C classes. This is the most important race of the weekend with the largest crowd in attendance.
o Sunday is the 50-cone single lane Giant Slalom, followed by the amateur race
Bleachers will be set up near the finish line, but we do recommend you bring a lawn chair and your sun screen.
Participating in the Race
Race registration will be handled differently in 2009. Racers will not be registering though NCDSA as in the past. In an effort to cut down on no-shows, we will be opening registrations in June and will be collecting phone numbers, housing preferances and payments upon registration.
If you are new to slalom you may register on site for the novice race, but you must:
o Show that you can safely navigate the course.
o Have parent permission if under 18
o Wear a helmet & pads
o Sign a liability waiver.
Registration is free for the amateur race.
The Antrim Chamber of Commerce welcomes you all and look forward to hosting you and your families!
Feel free to email should you need additional information.
