We are all about some good eating but Wesley is so right about the stereotypes laid on Southerners. Let's get it out of our system and then move on please. Breck is looking bad for the Byrd's all the sudden due to some new additions to the family. No not more kids just more puppies and Lisa will be ...

Hot sweet potatoes and cracklin' bread and mulligan stew tha'd turn a rich man's head, back bone and turnip greens, lord there's nothin' finer than sittin' doawn and eatin' at the Dixie Diner.

Thanks Jack! We are working hard down here. Our skatepark reopened this past weekend and many of the kids there were at the LSJ. I since more of an understanding and respect of slalom now than ever before. We should have a nice turn out for our next small local race. I should probably schedule one v...

Thanks for the forum Adam and Wesley. I will try to keep it on the narrow twisting and turning gravel road between the ditches. I do reserve the right to spell like it sounds (Phonics). More pictures of the Luna Slalom Jam are up on SkateMS.com Check'um at: http://www.skatems.com/gallery/LunaSlalom0...

Pat,
I used K & K Insurance for the Luna Slalom Jam. They specialize in sporting event coverage. The standard $1M, single day event policy ran me $240

If you have to get city permits to close a street, they will require insurance.

Sorry for the delay in this post. I've dragging a** since the event. Did you guys hear my voice Saturday night? Sunday and Monday it was gone. Been sick. Better now. Thanks all of you so much for your comments. I'll work hard to make next year even better. Did I say next year? It doesn't hurt to hea...

Is Wes showing up in Jackson the evening of April 12th?

I wish Josh was a little older. He can pass for younger than 12 but not older. Do they need younger all around skaters? Josh has won vert, street and slalom contests. That's all around.

*overly proud Dad smiles*

Chicken,
Are you guys back to laying up boards?

I just noticed the upgrades to the stock Black Hill. What a great idea! Check out the Bahne site for details.

Redlines!
I like that name. Red Urethane...Silver hub?

Red urethane and yellow hub to match the Black Hill would be slick.

Simply put, an "A" racer could hold back in the Quals to assure a place in the "B" group, then turn it on during elim rounds to be in the money of the "B" group. That could take the middle to bottom of the "A" group out of the "A" group and put them in the top of the "B" group. Could shake things up...

I had an idea to get my newbies to enter the local races. My plan is to hold a clinic about two weeks before the race. This will give the new racers a chance to get a feel of the slalom board (or their flipper board on a slalom course)and take some instruction. At the clinic you will recieve a ticke...

We'll be praying for you Jack.

1. Get in shape
2. Learn to power though a course
3. Throw at least 2 races in my area (maybe more)
4. Go to more Eastern races
5. Get into the final four at a big race
6. Find time to get my business going
7. Get one of those little picture thingys by my name

Rick Stanziale said to me walking back up the hill, he pointed to his board, "Slalom not here" then he points to his head, "Slalom here".

Slalom racing is not only in the equipment you ride, the biggest part is mental toughness on the race course.

Great one Rick!

We picked up a copy yesterday. Sarah was excited to see Lauren in the magazine. It's got here pumped and asking "When are we going slalomin' Daddy?".

She wants to get Lauren to autograph it for her.

Thanks for getting those posted Jack.

I knew mine and Cliff's race was close, one of the closest of the day in the Open class.

Cool!

Thanks for your hard work Adam!
This site is just what I need. I've already read some very useful set up tips.

How about a thread on slalom riding techniques like effiecient pumping how to's, foot placement...

Thanks again!

I can't stress enough how pleased Josh and I have been with Pleasure Tool Bearings. Thanks for your support to the slalom community Ed!
