Beast Coast Longboarding is going all out to set up a for real
downhill racing circuit next year. From what I've read it is looking
to be between March and November and contain about 12 races, with one
or two per month. I think a few of us could get involved and maybe
bring one of the races to Georgia. In another discussion Chadd said
we may be able to get a permit to ride Powerhouse during the off
season which means we may be able to open it up for a sponsored
event. Not to mention GA riders could compete with the best the East
Coast has to offer; racing against the fastest and steeziest riders
around.
The main planning as far as I can tell is taking place in the Beast
Coast forums (

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=119). Now, I haven't read through the entire
thread, but I have read the first couple of posts and have seen
several posts on the Fish and these guys are serious. The guys
backing this are the movers and shakers on the East Coast; Earthwing
and Comet are on the list.
