Thanks E, I know I can count on you!

I'm gonna get on the printouts this week. Sorry for the delays, I'm usually better. Had a rough coupla weeks, death in the family

Ron Barbagallo

aww that sucks!

Please send our best from the Jersey Crew

Dovercourt will always hold a special place in my heart

Ron Barbagallo

hmmmm....... I like your idea of the " slalom jam" John. That's definitely the direction we should be taking. Scooter and I have been talking about doing something like that. I think I'll try to get a session like that for the summer. Like every Sunday morning at the hill we practice at. It's in an ...

I remember Val Surf well - it was my first porn ;) And I remember Sector 9 well too - they were my biggest competitor when I started my company 12 years ago. Every surf shop I went into, "Why should we buy your boards? We have Sector 9" And I couldn't disagree with them because at the time, the long...

Ron Barbagallo

I'll even go one step further. I have the connections to put together a very low cost slalom board setup. Why don't I? Several reasons. One being it's a very limited market. We're talking tens of skaters a year. Absolute BEST case scenario, 1000 new skaters wanna try slalom - that's not even a 20 fo...

Ron Barbagallo

John, I like your ideas - I had similar ones over a year ago So much in fact I have presented a slalom kit idea to TRU, Target, Sports Authority, Academy, Sears, Kmart, WalMart, Modells, Big 5, Dunhams, and Amazon.com. They all passed No one knew what I was talking about. I don't think we're on thei...

Ron Barbagallo

I like the logo with the cones

And I noticed Erik's post AND the fact that he has already set it up AND posted in on Silverfish. Wish we could nominate him for BOD!

Ron Barbagallo

I agree with my fellow large man

Ron Barbagallo

hehehehe - my name is next to Henry Hester's

Ron Barbagallo

I think it's cool, Neil - thanks for posting it!

That shows some real talent there, regardless of the vehicle

Ron Barbagallo

hahahahaha - I was rockin' the Ben Franklin skullet in '02, not the aero buzzcut I have now

Whoo! That article was from 2002, and it appears from the logs that the photos were hosted elsewhere (that pre-dates our photo hosting). Heck, that's back when Fatboy was Slimkid... I'll put that one in our hopper of articles to update.

actually......I was fatter in 2002

Ron Barbagallo

very nice job!!!

Ron Barbagallo

thanks for the smile, Ramon!!

That was fantastic

Ron Barbagallo

would love to check out the pics

I have a friend that's a machinist, he'd probably let me mess about with his tools to do one for myself

how does the spherical affect the performance?

Ron Barbagallo

I run stock clear red urethane Bennett bushings and also some that Ron Bennett sent me a coupla years ago. Stock ones are 90a duro and I think the ones he sent me were 86a or so. Just a touch softer, you can tell if you bite them. I have one truck with some pink and lime ABEC11 bushings in them. Dif...

Ron Barbagallo

who has it?

Fatty does!

I run a Bennett front truck and Alligator wheels - 60mm bottle green for tight or courses that I have too much speed, and 71mm Red, Orange, and Yellow for GS and everything else.

The speed seems to be right there with other wheels and I've never had them slip

Ron Barbagallo

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

That looks like soooooo much fun!

Ron Barbagallo

Respect the Shish!

Ron Barbagallo

I wanna be Harmsy when I grow up

Ron Barbagallo

awesome job, Dave! I forgive you for beating me.

and as the video proves - TEAM FATBOY - WORLD CATAMARAN CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD!!!!

Ron Barbagallo

and thank you, Kitty Kat for the prize money - you're a class act!

Ron Barbagallo

Check out the podium at the recent FarmX:

Ron Barbagallo

Amazing time as always

But the main focus is that TEAM FATBOY ARE THE UNDISPUTED WORLD CHAMPIONS OF CATAMARAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ron Barbagallo

great photos!!!!

Norski rules!

Ron Barbagallo

LOVE that video! Your kid rips it!

Do we really hafta do the whole contest thing? Can't we just party and ride that halfpipe?

Ron Barbagallo

fingers crossed

Catamaran race is a team of 2? Or 3 with a pusher? Input?

ooooooh

maybe make the kids push us so there's no unfair advantage

Ron Barbagallo

Site looks amzing, Donald - best of luck with it!

Ron Barbagallo

Team Fatboy is signed up and looking forward to competing and the subsequent crabs that we'll get from the Bethel Whores!

Ron Barbagallo

I'm with Pierre on keeping the dates. I had to hire a drummer for the afterparty

Ron Barbagallo

hahahahahaha - seeing Norski just makes me smile

Ron Barbagallo

That's what I've been suggesting!

Ron Barbagallo

Preliminary reports say that it's going to be the last one. Yeah I know they said that 2 years ago, but Tway had a great observation - why end it at 8 years? So this will be the 10th year and a fitting milestone. As far as I know it will be August 6, 7, & 8th. It will include GS, Hybrid, Vintage, Ki...

Ron Barbagallo

Scooter and I had a thought when we were skating last Sunday. We were thinking about hosting like a skate jam kinda thing with many skate disciplines represented. Something low key, catering to beginners. Slalom of course, but some low speed DH, maybe some sliding (if someone shows me how!), catamar...

Ron Barbagallo

Mig's definitely got the right ideas Joe I, Scooter, and myself made the trek to Quebec City to one of the Krispey Hill races and it was a blast - even WITH a timer mishap! At least a third of the racers were kids trying it for the first time and it was amazing. Their parents were way stoked and hap...

Ron Barbagallo

First off, very sorry Donald. Sad to hear. It sounded like you were gonna throw one helluva race. I would've loved to have been there just to watch the best of the best. Next - what's wrong with racing? It's probably better brought up in another thread, but I'm here, you're here, doesn't that make i...

Dave - give me your address and I'll send you a helmet

does he still have that bolt through his neck?

Ron Barbagallo

gee Canada keeps rackin' up those gold medals

Congrats Miggy!

Timbo - look for a fat guy in an orange hockey helmet, that's who'll you'll be battling I've been racing for years and I quite honestly suck pretty bad at it. The only time I've ever made B class is when they don't have enough racers for a C. And I usually get trounced pretty quickly. I'm also terri...

Ron Barbagallo

Pete, you can add Fatboy to the sponsor list

One deck is drying and the other is ready to go, they should get there next week.

Ron Barbagallo

if there's stabbing involved, I predict Team Fatboy will be a hot commodity

Ron Barbagallo

are you implying it will cost me an extra $5 to call you a jackass?

that's money well spent in my mind

Ron Barbagallo

yeah but snowboarders are all pot smoking hippies that sell spaghetti in the parking lot at Phish shows - bad example, Scrumptious

Ron Barbagallo

Okay, fair enough. I get it. Especially the event promoter having to be responsible for ISSA memberships.

I just asked because most people would rather spout off about something than ask a simple question.

Ron Barbagallo

paid

where's my ISSA stickers? I need to repulse more women

Ron Barbagallo

okay, I'll be the dick - why is it more at the race?
