But Wes, that shot of you was taken during OPEN practice (or perhaps a live qualifier.) You're racing George Gould. You must've adopted the modified stance a little earlier than you recall. :wink:

If someone was to be eliminated from his/her race because they were coneheading on their way back up the hill, that would be LAME. I'd bitch about that. But it ain't gonna happen. We could define it more clearly: Anyone not ready to race because they're in their car with a wrench, drill, a large bag...

This is a great discussion. While there seem to be a lot of views on how to actually do it (spacing, pitch, latitude(!?), etc) I think everyone agrees that none of us will actually break the current record in our feeble attempts. There are just too many factors to consider if that were the point of ...

You could probably pace out 100 cones in 5-10 minutes. With 2 guys, it takes no extra time for one to follow the setter and put a small mark where the cone should be. (full circle not necessary) This definitely helps the cones go back in place faster and keep things moving much better than having to...

Ah Troy, sorry I didn’t see your reply til now……just got back from skating 2 different courses at 2 places with Senior Gilmour …And yes, one was a 100 cone dash.

Mine is set up with the shorter, 22.5" WB. I'm yet to try any of the other holes....it feels too damn good. Get outta the doghouse and email Chicken.

I tried the washer idea once. It's a good one, but I think it's important to practice with obstacles that are the same size as the base of a slalom cone. At Morro Bay, I heard that Hutson and maybe a few of the other Santa Cruz racers (Miko?) use rubber discs cut to about 6" in diameter. This sounds...

I originally intended to ride my 36" Pocket Pistol with wide trucks. I never thought I'd ride it in tight or hybrid courses. I was wrong. I thought that a 129mm RTX or S and a 127mm TTC would be the ideal. I'm still yet to try that set up because the thing feels so right with a 106mm RTX and a 101 T...

My new Roe "Unlimited" has quickly replaced my other race boards. I have it set up with a rad pad and RTX in front and a TTC in back set low and wedged *very* slightly with a cut pad.

Adam, I recently picked up a 36" Pistol from Chicken. He was generous enough to offer one to racer with the fastest time at da farm this year, and the rain came just in time for me to secure it. (If it was a sunny day, someone else would likely have won it.) My exact board is the one on the left in ...
