Tway, you are a very clever guy and quite astute. My love affair with the 62 mm strada wheel began when they were the only wheels out there worth riding. I never considered them a Quad wheel but a slalom racing wheel that quad guys used on occasion.Also I have only been skating for 2 years and reall...

John, Riding Parallel is a life choice. Let me explain.Those fashion models who do heroin for the "look" are not real dope fiends. Its about Keith Richards baby, get it? All these girls who go with other girls because its fashionable are not REAL lesbians. The indigo girls are REAL lesbians. Just be...

Yes Chris, you are cheating. And don't think I don't catch all the other little cheats you sneak in when you think no one is looking. Like the time you stepped into my line of sight to"adjust a cone" right before my final run in the GS event at the Gathering. Our eyes locked for a split second and I...

Andy you're right. It is lame. But this is about the guys who are true to an art form.Who only race and ride parallel. They are the last of a dying breed and this race is in a way honoring them. Are they the fastest,no. We could make it an open and just give Gilmour the prize but he already has a st...

Let me clarify.In order to participate in the WPSC's you MUST race parallel stance in races. You cannot be a hot shit racer who can ride parallel but races surf stance (JG,Chaput etc). This race is for the guys who live it, the guys who still have Piercy posters on their bedroom wall,the guys who re...

I just recieved a call from Bruce Brewington . He called to tell me he was shocked that I would bet against him in the World Paralled Stance Championship match up. Wes Tucker is his opponent and resides here in the east. Henry backed Bruce I backed Wes. The Race will be a part of the 03 Slalom on Da...

Anyway, John Gilmour , All the guys you mentioned Me, Noah, Curt, 13, etc are all gunning for YOU! You are now the ...

When Psych jobs go bad... At Avilla Beach Gs this year I went into the round of 8 having to race Siale. Given the course and having seen Siale at La Costa I felt like I needed an edge. I ask JG what do I do. JG says get the sickest start you can and it may rattle him and force him to scrub on the fi...

Chris, when I say I'll spot so and so some cones I mean I don't start untill the other racer is 3 cones into the course or whatever. That makes it fun because you have to hunt the other guy down and he has to not freak out and panic in order to win. These races can be exciting no matter who is racin...

Joe, I spot you 6 cones on a long course (40 cones) 3 cones on a short course (25 cones) and we go. I would put sandy up against you but she is pregnant and being waxed by a pregnany woman may push you over the edge. The wager is a case of your beer of choice. (yes I realize I still owe you 35.00) 2...

Henry, how about the conversation between Kenny Mollica and John Gilmour at the Roe tent on Sat at La Costa after they had finished race one of their match up. That was classic, exciting ,funny, and had us all at the edge of our seats. Kenny was still propositioning John ON THE START RAMPS! If that ...

JG,I thought the format in Boston was a bit cofusing and took a long time to get to what would have been the final 4 racers any way you ran it. Granted guys got to run lots of runs but in some cases it was too many runs which left the top qualifiers waiting around and getting "cold". Races are races...

Tway, John will probably tell you something like "get some bennets and a narrow FibreFlex" or some other foolishness for Tight parallel. Do not believe him. Run your BR and your Seismic TTC combo and leave the bennets on the mantle. John sometimes gets stuck in the 70's. (though in all fairness he i...

I'll never ride a conventional truck again. They are that good(for me at least) . Trackers and indys ride like toys by comparison. Even Gilmour loves them and he hates everything!You can tune them like an offset for the rear and they stick like tape but slide predictably. There is no pivot cup slop ...
