Maybe this year. Keep checking once a month for the next 5 years. We're so far ahead.

A professional researcher lives deep within me. It feeds on analysis, observations and predictions. I'm happy when I'm wrong. Because it's borring to be right all the time. I can "read" you a lecture on PINK in the US and world culture. Instead, save some time and see the best selling movie of all t...

How funny. If you move this drama to Random Topics, it'll get more attention. WV independent timing worked well and many people seemed to like it. The DC timer has this option. All that's missing is an extra pressure strip. There's probably no interest, as the current system works well. TK, it's the...

Vlad Popov

Depends on the model. Anthony and I buy Vans at Ross at $14.99 a pair usually. Some of them are just right, yet others seem to be 1/2 size smaller. Since these are strickly slalom shoes, smaller doesn't hurt much. Smaller Vans feel better on the board. I have 5 brand new pairs. 2 of them are smaller...

It's 4:45 AM. Goohoohooohdmorning DC! I just woke up...and it's not a hotel!!! Where's everybody? Slappy...Slappy...They won't sell me anything; it's too early. Cool pictures! The Northern Bad Boyz inc should have tons more. As well as the guy who knows where turtles come from and where they are goi...

Stop by any Hot Topic store in the US and see what color is hot.

Vlad Popov

Sorry, dude, I'm not a licensed psycho...logist any more. Looks like good weather tomorrow, I'll try to be at P&R around nooon, just have to ask my boyfriend about his plans.

I haffta take some pictures for various slalom and longboard sites, so look your best (or worst if you like it bad).

Vlad Popov

I was at the Gathering site today and the place looks empty. Where did everyone go? Slappy, what happened at the bar last night?

Oh well...it's raining now. I hope everyone has enough rest before our big race tomorrow.

Vlad Popov

<whining>Slappy that picture doesn't show up on my 1995 low-resolution Crapintosh screen. Please e-mail me your latest in like X4 the size and resolution thankyou. Wizout poop in my board I'd be dead meat on Saturday. I now know the secret of the Gilmourian high-speed overpump! Insect doesn't make s...

Ok Erika, here's some math for you:

+10 skateboard style points

-7 dress style points for using a manly color

Bottom line +3 style points

This girl didn't know... She's one of the well known teen skaters from our local Vans park. This is a shot from the 4th Gathering. Major overpinking. Pink board. Pink trucks. Pink wheels. Pink griptape. Pink Belt.

Canada slalom has been fast. You won't find much info on it anywhere (there are reasons). They were pretty active in the 1980s. It's obvious that their slalom school is strong. There shouldn't be any suprises to those who follow slalom history..and are able to think outside the US boarders.

Vlad Popov

Well, you can also check out the race course. Jeniffer Love WhoWhat? More pictures soon.

Gaithersburg, MD. May 2, 2004. After clocking 3 fastest times of the day, the 32-inch Insect longboard was disqualified for its 27-inch wheelbase. So, if anyone wants an Insect longboard for a race, go with the 36-inch one. It should be enough to fit the DC 30-inch wheelbase and the 36-inch length r...

Today’s “Collective Effort with the PSR backbone” Longboard Slalom course was faster and more open then last year. More speed. More space to pump. KMG hybrid was fun. It brought out the best in the young and the younger Canadians. PSR “GS” was very tech. Too bad there didn’t seem to be enough intere...

The Gathering (and PreGathering) rules for timed races were: Friday night (the “Motel 6” Outlaw race). Single lane 50-cone hybrid/tight slalom on the P&R hill used for most of the DC SL Outlaw races. 0.1-second cone penalty. 8 cones = DQ. Jam format. Three timed runs to be declared apriori. The rest...

Vlad Popov

I took a couple of pictures of today's score boards in every timed race.

No rain today. Bummer.

Vlad Popov

I already miss the PD course JKOHM!

PS.
Sorry, no car tonight. I need aridemyself.

Vlad Popov

Hey hey hey...Hey... I didn't sign up to be a distributor in the US.

It's that just that it's just that this and that is just ....Eddie's board was shipped to me with my boards and I just need to just get some beer from Eddie if he wants to see his deck.

Vlad Popov

Aaron Morris wrote:yo Vlad,
Do you happen to have any other boards for me?

Yep. Turners.

Vlad Popov

It's been proven more then once: there's no difference between a 42-inch longboard with a 36-inch wheelbase and a 36-inch longboard with a 30-inch wheelbase on most of the "DC longboard" courses. A set-up makes (99%) more difference then a wheelbase.

Vlad Popov

Eddie, I have your 2004 Performace Series Roe Bullet made with the finest Baltic birch laminates and high-quality aerospace grade carbon fiber and triaxial fiberglass. I'll be at P&R on Friday night.

Vlad Popov

I've never seen so much carbon in one room! I have like 200 Roes and Insects in my bedroom. Eddie, I found your Bullet to be a bit stiff for me after about 14th or 15th run. You can have it. Steve and Gareth, thank you for all the hard work and 15-hour days that made this crazy pre-Gathering product...

Vlad Popov

Brian, I already offered Mike your timer for $50. See you on Friday.

Vlad Popov

Twisted it is. To say the least...

To call it nontraditional is like to say nothing with a twist.

The secret's out. The Mama Goose is not hatching.

I have Brian's timer. And enough orange succer cones... to complete the twist.

Vlad Popov

I mean orange juice and milk.

Great to meet you, Rene! I'll see you soon!

I had a good time in LA. The Pink Theme I got from Olson at Breck last year. He was wearing his Black Leather Racing shirt...but it was his pink shirt (the one that he's pictured in a full body carve in the current issue of the Juice Mag) is the killer that got me thinking PINK. oLsOn don't know abo...

Topic naming seems to correlate with beer consumption http://images3.fotki.com/v30/photos/5/53745/233590/hummm-vi.gif There are straight slalom courses and there are not so straight slalom courses (called "special" in EU...and maybe not for nothing). It's hard to fit with the missfits. http://images...

Not to worry, Chris. I'm a psychologist. Please see me on Friday night after my sessions with teens who like longboard slalom.

Vlad Popov

Dear Glenn. In the light of the recent events and discussions I have tried my best to clean up my image and adjust my on and off-line behavior to better fit into the slalom community. This is the best I can do.

Vlad Popov

Keep the LBSL alive!

Vlad Popov

Do your have the luuks for DA BUNNY?

ROE PS kiks ASS! Ze image iz only one litl' part of ze story. Zi insides are the S.

<center>Here's the same board (as in the very board Roe built and overnighted to Jackson) in DC after the MS action.

Works good with Seismics.
The "Bunny" is there (on all my boards) for JG.</center>

Vlad Popov

Not so good turn out this time. I overslept, sorry. But!.. We had tons of fun when Frank and Brittany showed up!

Slappy set a soopper TS - like 4 ft on center - course and we skated it twice or something like that before hitting the Irish pub nearby.

See you at the Gathering!

Vlad Popov

I'm in Denver Co, looks like the flight'son time. See yu tomorrow for some pumping and wigling ...I'm tired

tHE weather lukes guut. See you at 11?

Vlad Popov

I just reserved a car in BWI from LAX. Can be at PR at 11 or so unless someone will need a seat...not likelly to happen.

Vlad Popov

The hill is sick. Faster (quicker, to be exact) then the Trocadero STR TS. It was a "small scale" BIG race. Good vibes. Fast skaters. Beatiful LA.

Vlad Popov

The hill is fast! We never skate anything like that. I'll get a pair of (real) TS trucks and learn to wiggle before going back here. It was certainly worth the trip! It was a big "small-scale" race. The vibes were good. Sorry to disappoint anyone in DC with my placement. Andy, Ohm was faster then me...

Vlad Popov

Shit

I hoped you'd come.

Vlad Popov

Thanks Andy. I'll do my best. This is a night time race and from our Walker Ln experiences night-time = plus 0.3-0.5 seconds on a sub 7-second 40-cones at 6 ft course. Plus, this is a big hill, not Walker Ln. I've already broken 6 seconds on 30 6 ft cones on flat when practicing French Cyber at RFK....

Vlad Popov

Cool! I'm leaving for CA tomorrow (to race 30 straight 6ft cones) and coming back on Saturday at 6 AM to BWI. So, there's plenty of time to get home, get some rest and be at P&R around Eleventeen O'clock. Slappy, if you can, please pick me up from McLean on your way to MD. Maybe Ohmster will crawl o...
