The fourth race of the five race IGSA California Championship series
was held at Bonelli Park, California in hot, sunny weather. There were
many new racers, and IGSA crossed another milestone by having over 450
skaterboarders racing around the world in the last year.
The skateboard races included crashes but no injuries. John Rogers
used his fast tuck for another first place in the large field.
The inline race was a shoot out between the top three in the current
IGSA standings. In the first heat Scott jumped out ahead at the start,
but the pack stayed close. Dave attempted and early pass, but Scott
and Warren’s train was faster, so Dave jumped on the caboose. At the
finish, Dave and Warren broke out too late for the pass and Scott held
on for the win. In the second start, Scott jumped out to a bigger
lead, and Dave and then Warren pulled slingshot passes to finish 1-2.
In the third run, everyone was wary and started slow. The finish was
the same as the second run, and Dave won the race. Scott took second
place in a tiebreaker based on his fastest qualifying time.
In street luge Brian Lee won all of his heats and the race.
