See you all around 4:30 today. If anyone else needs directions, message me. I'll have Chris's gear to pass out, so if you need pads or a helmet or or parts , etc. make sure to let me know.
Anyone who doesn't have directions make sure to let me know also...
So I've finally had a chance to play with my timer for more than 2 minutes. Question for those who have used them: Do you store multiple times during your sessions, or reset the timer after each lap through the course? Or in other words, when I start my run, the beacon at the top of the course "star...
Looks like Sunday, somewhere in the Draper / South Jordan / West Jordan / Herriman area. Time and exact location to be determined. Anyone who would like some additional info, let me know.
Hey UPC i'd love to come down next weekend for a sess. I'd love to see everyone. I do work till noon on week end and it takes about 2 hours to get there from Logan. So it would have to bee set up for the afternoon to early evening. Lets pool our heads and see what we can do Later GP Wiggly Hey Bob....
I personally have not had the "you-know-what's" to start hacking on an Airflow to add a spherical to it. I'm ok with screwing up a $20 truck, not so OK with screwing up an Airflow.. One thing you can do is make a "fixed spherical" as some call it, or a "surf-key" as some others call it, or a small "...
Looks good, is that Herriman? Sitting here watching another 4" of snow fall.... dammit. Paul Price just called me, snowed in at Snowbird! On the good news front, I should have a new toy soon winging its way from the UK...a clue? Might have a lizard in the name... ;-) That's in South Jordan (near He...
Anyone interested in trying a slalom session on the Squaw Peak road in Provo Canyon?
Some of the UT DH crew are planning on hitting the road tomorrow (Some of whom are also interested in slalom.) Sounds like the gate is still closed, so we could hike up a ways from the gate and set cones...
Hey Curt I looked for some sphyricals at my local bearing supply. apperantly farm machienery dosn't need bearing that small. could you give me the product name and specks on what you used in your randal hangers. even the name of the company you got them from. Thanx Bob Bob, You want "COM6" bearings...
Things will pick up a little more next month after the snow season dies down. That being said I'd be up for an evening session, or possibly a weekend session. I usually ride in the far south-western area of the Salt Lake valley, but many of my spots have been ruined due to new construction, so I'm o...
Yeah, it's not a slalom deck, but there's a few old guys on the forum here that might be interested? Zorlac Big Boys Reissue Deck. Purchased without graphics. Grip job was done with Jessup grip if I remember correctly. There are a few scratches / wheelbite (ouch) marks, etc, very slight scraping to ...
[SOLD] Modified Bennett 5.0 for sale. Intended for LDP, but would work for Slalom. Modifications include: Kingpin replaced with Grade 8, epoxied in. The Epoxy did not bond to the paint, so it's easily removable. :D Hanger faced down to 112mm, spaceable out to the original 5.0 length. Polished pivot...
[SOLD] Custom built Factory 13 GS deck for sale (Built for another SS.com member) Formica bottom with the usual scratches from use. Great concave with kicktail. Gripped with Edger. Measurements are: 34" length, 9.5" width. Wheelbase options go from 18" up to 25.5". The board can be setup as a 6-whe...
[SOLD] GOG front for sale. I kind of bought this on on a whim, and don't really need it, so it's back up for sale. The usual wear and tear from use. $135 shipped in the USA, if you want it without bushings I can knock $5 off... Paypal payment preferred. I'd like to try out a Virage Vite, if anyone ...
Thanks for all the great pics & video. Now I can study & see how really shitty my ramp starts really are! :) I'll post my pics this weekend. I have to go now....... I have some practicing to do! The start is where I lose every race.... OK, maybe not every race, but most every race. That's why I bui...
Here's my finished version. All "modular". From this: http://i47.tinypic.com/mb70gy.jpg To this: http://i48.tinypic.com/ngomcj.jpg In less than 10 minutes. Only "tools" necessary are the "C" clamps mentioned earlier in the thread, the eye-bolts that attach the pull bar assembly to the ramp, a couple...
This is GREAT news for a noobie racer like myself. So if I decide to pony up the registration $$$, at least I'll get more than two runs per discipline just to finish DFL. (That is if I don't DQ every run ;) ) Seismic World Cup Update: Because we believe we will have lots of time in the schedule, we ...
Done... http://i48.tinypic.com/15x2yqu.jpg Yes the pull-bars are currently one piece, so I need the roof rack... I have a plan to make them "modular" with the ability to break down to three foot sections and re-assemble. Maybe I'll get to it when I recover from the build of the ramp. Testing it out ...
Rumors are flying of an evening session next Wednesday (6/9). Possibly near Park City.
Details to follow if it happens.
I will be Slalom-ing either Saturday (6/5) or Sunday (6/6) or both. Probably near Herriman. If anyone would like to join me, they're more than welcome.
So, I've decided to us "C" clamps to attach the ramp pieces together, and it works great. I could use more than the two clamps shown, but it would be overkill: http://i46.tinypic.com/5jwh1x.jpg And the top transition piece: http://i48.tinypic.com/1493wuc.jpg With just 3 clamps holding these three pa...
Looks like you were able to make it the full 1000mm length, huh? Yeah, it's currently at the 1000mm (or close to it) length... My wife took off with my small car and the kids for a lil' vacation without me :( so I'm not positive it's gonna fit without laying the seats down. I'm just happy to have s...
Ricardo- do you think you would be able to post a close-up picture of the pull handles? That seems to be the part that most people are getting tripped up on. If you could share how you did it, that would be really helpful! Thanks! +1 for me too... My adventure has begun... http://i49.tinypic.com/33...
Yeah, and you could use wingnuts... May work. You could also drill a hole in the main box and install a large t-nut on the backside. Then you could weld a wing nut to the top of a bolt, and drill a hole through the steel. This would give you a "wing bolt" that could be easily inserted by hand into ...
I really like this design. But for me, the whole point was to pack it up in the trunk, take somewhere, easily assemble it, tear down, and drive home. With u clamps, I would need to carry wrench and it isn't quick. I've solved the problem of L-brackets to hold all of the ramp sections together (with...
My real problem is figuring out how to attach them to the base with some sort of "quick connect." That's the part I'm having a tough time with. U-bolts? (Works on full-sized ramps...) http://www.statetrailer.com/images/itempix/14050502_z.jpg C-clamps? I think I'm going to start building one of thes...
