Mighty Mama Skate-O-Rama

The Mighty Mama Skate-O-Rama™ is a gathering of women who love to ride skateboards--aka the International Society of Skateboard Moms (aka the nonprofit Skateboard Moms Inc.).

The inaugural MMSOR took place on Mother's Day 2004. Nineteen women rolled with us that day, including 80-year-old Liz Bevington. Since then, the skateboard moms and "aunties" have gathered in New York, Washington D.C., Newburyport, MA, Portland, OR, Chicago, Long Beach, CA, Annandale, VA, Washington, D.C, and our home base of Laguna Niguel, CA.

The events are for fun--and for fundraising. We raise money for children's literacy via our Rolling 4 Reading™ program, where we deliver, via skateboard, new and gently-used children's books to kids in need.

Low Country Kartway

We are a family owned and operated race track located in the "low country" of South Carolina. When we say family, we mean family. Shorty and Lib Barnhill head up the operation, but help is plentiful from the children and grandchildren. Daughter Kirsten, her husband Brent, and their son Grayson will be on the scene whenever the gates are open, and whenever time allows, our other daughter Melissa along with hubby Victor,and their kids Charlye, Layton, and Madison will surely be pitching in. Shorty's dad Edward "Pa" Barnhill has nearly as many hours logged at the track as we do. Since acquiring the track in 1996, we have hosted a WKA South Carolina Divisional race every year, and a WKA Dirt National in all but one year. We strive to provide a clean, wholesome, family atmosphere in which to enjoy this sport that we all love. It is our sincere wish that when you're looking for a track to compete at, that you will consider Low Country Kartway.

Mancora Peru Classic

In 2008, the umbrella will extend to include all disciplines of the sport. The ASP World Longboard Tour will be held in France, Tahiti and California, the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships will again be held at Narrabeen and the ASP Masters will look to take place in Brazil.

While the rest of the circus circumnavigates the globe we also have the ASP Women's World Tour taking a similar approach to the guys. In recent years there has been an influx of talent and in 2008 we can expect the new guard to stand up and be counted. Watch the girls as they perform in Australia, Brazil, France, Peru and Hawaii.

There is an air of maturity about ASP these days. Having been around for 31 years the sport is developing a deep and enriched heritage not unlike that of more mainstream sports. With a truly professional outlook, incredibly efficient business processes and practices plus healthy relationships with some outstanding business partners and events, we are sure that in 2008, ASP's success will be immeasurable.

Texas Challenge Adventure Race

This is Texas’ Top Gun Solo Race. Solo racers get a chance to prove who is the faster adventure racer in Texas! However, course may also be raced as the traditional 2 person team. Teams travel together during the race; it is not a relay.

This year's race has been moved to Camp Longhorn, home of Tex Robertson, Scott's uncle, who passed away this past August. Tex Robertson (1909 - 2007) was not only the founder, but also a friend and Inspiration for all. Although he has left this earth, his spirit and presence will always be among the hills and dales and the many lives he has touched throughout his magnificent 98 years. This year's race will be a memorial to Tex, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to one of Tex's designated charities.

The race will start at Camp Longhorn's original camp (see directions link). The camp has grown to encompass not only the Inks Lake Camp, but also Indian Springs Camp. The race will utilize both camps, and allow the racers to race on an extraordianary and unique race course. The race will be organized as a true challenge, in the spirit of Tex. And as Tex would say, "Sure you can!" and "Attawaytogo!"

Mbabane - Swazi Xtreme

The Swazi Xtreme has a proud tradition of challenging competitors with race routes that incorporate awesome natural features, friendly rural people and an atmosphere of risk and reward.

It helps that the Kingdom of Swaziland is an ideal venue for adventure racing. Mountains, valleys, rivers, waterfalls, caves, cliffs, forests, plains and hundreds of kilometres of meandering foot and cattle paths are squeezed into a compact area of 17,363 sq km.

The event has also been consistently innovative in its mission to keep the ADVENTURE in adventure racing and to avoid this becoming an elitist ultradistance athletic sport. Every year the event attracts seemingly ordinary people, who step up to the line to experience the thrill of doing what is undeniably EXTRAORDINARY.

This year is no exception. The major new focus for this year's event will be shift from the shortest route, fastest time approach, to one which will have teams competing to do the maximum distance and clip the most control points within the allocated time.

The general race route will be defined by a sequence of Compulsory Control Points (CP's), which all teams will need to visit. Teams in the hunt for a win will be keen to find a scattering of Optional CP's. These optional points will be tucked away in the most exciting and adventurous corners of the race footprint, demanding both skill and speed to reach. What this means is that top teams will have more time out in the field to push themselves to the limit, testing their navigational and strategic team strengths, whilst the slower teams who merely wish to complete the event have the liberty of moving just between the compulsory control points.

Strategy and teamwork will become paramount, with decision on when to go straight and rest and when to zig-zag to collect points being the likely difference between winning and losing teams. Not only will navigational ability be essential, but the ability to estimate speed and distance will keep heads buzzing well after bodies get tired.

This new race format increases the likelihood of a higher finishing rate for the event and will increase the tempo up front as leading teams will constantly concertina back into contact with each other throughout the race.
