No! I like Dominik just like he is. Naughty and dirty... Haaa! Haa! Ha!

Miguel Marco

Mig, I couldn't agree more. The ISSA can really only focus on a handful of large events sort of like the IGSA does for downhill. But those large events are failing because there isn't a constant feed of new skaters to fill the ranks. Why is there not enough of a base of skaters to feed the 6 or 8 b...

Miguel Marco

I'm sorry it didn't work out Donald. I definitely see the need to showcase the best of slalom to the media and general public. Like Fatboy said, this might not be the right thread but since it started here... I don't see slalom dying just because the top guys travel less to the big, expensive to get...

Miguel Marco

I may try to make it if someone shares the ride with me. But I can't promess anything right now...

Very very cool! I wish I could have made it. Looked like a great time was had by all and the spot looks fun as hell!!! Way to go NESRA!

Miguel Marco

I won't be able to make it Rick (for multiple reasons). Missing a rare chance to race GS/SGS with you guys kind of pisses me off... I hope you guys have a blast. See you next week.

Oh! And post lots of pics and vids!

Miguel Marco

Happy birthday Martin!!!

I will be celebrating my 48th in a couple of weeks by throwing an outlaw race (and trying to race... Haa! Ha!).

Miguel Marco

Any news from Goad???

I guess you're talking about the Southern Canada Outlaw Series...

HAVE FUN, YOU BASTARDS!!!

And treat the frenchies well!

They're landing right about now...

Miguel Marco

We have had the warmest and dryest winter in the last 63 years. So we had to wait only 3 months to skate again, instead of the usual six month break. So Julie, Danilo, and Louis got a couple of practice sessions in before the Texas Sizzler. Here's a vid made by Steve Blouin from sunday's GS session ...

Miguel Marco

Very nice vid Steve! Cool to see Dave too! Can't wait to see you guys again sometime this summer.

Miguel Marco

FULLBAG!!!

Yeah baby!!!

Miguel Marco

By increasing THE SIZE OF THE TAPE SWITCH at the finish line, you diminish the chance to CAUSE a racer missing the switch, thus also diminishing the chance to suffer the EFFECT of a racer hitting the IR boxes/tripods, timer wire, tapeswitch wire, connector boxes, plugs, banners, or whatever is near ...

Miguel Marco

Tape Switches ... Stay in place even if a racer is off balance and hits the end of the switch (disaster for IR switches). A racer that can turn at speed within inches of a cone can easily hit a 2' timing strip. Aren't those two statements kind of contradictory, Pat? A racer that can turn at speed w...

Miguel Marco

So I guess the many racers who have gone down a course set with my timing system did so stupidly. You're guessing wrong. Don't blame them. They did so because you didn't give them a choice... ;) :D Mig - you are using WAY too much common sense. Try to be more ambivalent and vague and less sensible ...

Miguel Marco

Here's what I usually use, no matter the temps. My choice is more influenced by course and hill. Tight --> 89a 66mm Zigs or 92a 63mm Hot Spots on the front, 86a or 89a 66mm Zigs rear. Hybrid --> 89a 70mm Zigs on the front, 86a 70mm Zigs on the rear. I've been experimenting with the 84a 69mm PPS Cone...

Miguel Marco

Eddy, Buy Type 131. It's tougher, lasts longer, resists better to bending, and is sensitive enough for any size junior. You won't regret it. I guess we're crazy up here. We have been using 3' for starts and 6' for finish lines at all the races we have used our timing kit. Bottom line is it works gre...

I'm with you Fatty! I want Number 3 In The World on my side if there's going to be any stabbing and slicing going on...

It's funny but the motion to add a surcharge for mindless banter failed by only one vote. Good for you! You would have been bankedrupt in a very short time. ;) are you implying it will cost me an extra $5 to call you a jackass? that's money well spent in my mind Where do I paypal $100? :D Thank you...

I'll be there buddy!

Some new members, like me, paid their fee in december 2009 so they could vote. Does it mean we have to pay again for 2010?

Corky or Rick, I wll send you the results for the Antrim Can/Am Slalom Championships as soon as I can. I need to talk to the organizers first to see if everything is ok with them.

Same goes for Danilo Percich, he will take February for Fullbag Skates. It will also be his membership and he will send the Paypal tonight when he gets home.

Ed note: Payment received. Thanks! /Jani

Miguel Marco

This is something Dan probably doesn't want to hear but a 1.5" to 2" lower cone while maintaining the same bottom diameter would help minimize cone hits. A lot of cones are displaced by kneepads (toeside) or lower leg (heelside), and not by the board or feet. No cone penalties and a low maximum hits...

Do you use it with the direct input from the Trackmate? That's what we seemed to have problems with. Only one name and time (right lane) appeared in Excelmate, and didn't want to save to the spreadsheet anyway, no matter what I tried (including a total reboot of all the system PC + Trackmate).

Marcus,

I used the latest version at the Antrim Can/Am Slalom Championship last month and ran into a bug in the round of 4, conso, and finals. I forgot to talk to you about it. I will explain it next week. No time now, I'm leaving for the weekend...
