With my IP blocked by the webmaster of ncdsa the Contest Calander is not available for me to view. Wish I'd have known about it sooner, or if it had been posted here, and I would probably have gone. I also need to get up to S.B. to pick up some fiberglass supplys from a composites store up there for...

If you can allow self uploading I say make that an option for sure. I say let those that want to have a little fun with it and be creative. But I'll help if anyone needs help. I'm sure there might be some that might like help with it. Glenn Glenn, You're in. You already know all about the structure ...

Glenn S

Jani,
I could help with this if you need. I already know photo management of this site and uploading to it fairly well anyway, and I have Photoshop.

Thanks Paul and Steve, Gary emailed me back immediately and sent a picture. He said he was in the process of updating his site www.asphaltplayground.com that day. Also that he was gunna have a 90mm version in the future. Looks like a great truck. Here is a picture he sent me of just the hanger: http...

Glenn S

Just looked and I don't find a SpitFire truck on Gary's site. What is this truck? Like a TTC?

Glenn S

I'm sure I've heard mention of that deck somewhere. Is there a website that shows it? That is a lot of camber for a 33" deck in the slalom world. But should be fun for around town. Tim thinking about it more, you might be good with 105mm Seismic. With conventional trucks you'd need wedging and bushi...

Glenn S

Hey what is up with the Trakmate?

We've heard about Pats timer all summer but not much about the Trackmate. Is Pats timer better?

What is the pricing breakdown for a Trakmate these days?

Glenn S

Tim, Can you tell us what type of deck you have? That might help in the decision. I might say you'd be fine with 105mm Tracker, or 101mm Indy's with that length and width. I really like the 101mm Indy as a front truck with a 1/4" taller kingpin and trimmed down Stimulator bushings (or Radikals). You...

Josh and I are looking forward to continuing to make completely custom truly handmade slalom racing boards. Hopefully we will be granted a deck forum of our own and the wonderful things said about our decks that reside in thie forum , will be moved to our own. I hope that slalomskateboarder.com con...

Glenn S

Carsten, I'd say that looking at the damage there, both glass and foam completely broken, that it's memories from now on. A good fiberglass repair person could probably hide the damage so that it "looks" like it was almost never broken if that was important to you so that it looks good hangin' on th...

Glenn S

I would put quite a bit of money on a wager that the 70s boards were ORTHO Polyester. There are basically two types of Polyester resins; ISO and ORTHO. ISO for Tooling (molds) and ORTHO for your laminates. Back in the 70s there were not Epoxy's that were clear enough yet to put a pigment in them lik...

Glenn S

Carsten, I'm gunna say that these decks were made from Polyester resin, just like a typical surfboard is. Where the fiberglass cloth is layed up with Polyester Laminating Resin, and then a gloss coat over that which is basically just Polyester with a wax in it so that it hardens at the surface and c...

Glenn S

I say right-on Jack Smith!!!! I’d just like to see a continuation of “world slalom” and “grassroots slalom” as a big motive behind the site. And Jani is a level headed guy with a want for good things in the sport of slalom racing. How many really take the organizational responsibility that he has, a...

Martin, I have moderator right here on the site. I did that. It is the best I can do. If someone else (Jack, Adam, Jani) knows how to change the name and picture please do. Regards, Glenn Just for the record, I would be much happier if the moderator could remove my name/photo from Michael's post ple...

Hey Jack,
What is it about the Rocker board that works so well for you? Does the one you've been doing so well on at the races flex at all? Is flex important in a rocker board?

Glenn S

I saw the results that Steve Collins posted here but he said that they had to run the GS final for the open class on Sunday morning. Did Wes E keep his 3rd place standing on Sunday? I am very impressed with what Wes E has done with his slalom. When I saw the results that Steve posted Wes E's placing...

Seth,
What is a Bunger Fibre Light deck? Do you have a picture you could share with us.

Glenn S

Jeez, all this debate of who was first to make a composite deck and not even a mention by anyone else about the reflectoporn Alex is using to sell his product! He is definitely the first at that. Well Rick, Chicken, or Gareth be next to try this unique marketing strategy?

Glenn S

Pat, Do you expect this timer to be one that is affordable for the adverage joe slalomer? It would be great to have a timer I could just use for practice as well as a grassroots race, but they are a bit pricey. The Trakmate is now up to $250 or so without the tape-switches, wire, wire holder, connec...

Glenn S

Well the reason I asked is because I saw a recent post that was edited and my initial response was that it should not have been edited in the way that it was. I did not remember that 13 was the age that was allowed to view the site. People here post with their real names and take responsibility for ...

Glenn S

Should cuss words be allowed unedited or should they be "filtered" in some sort of manner?

By filtered I mean that when a cuss word is typed in by the poster it is "output" like S***, or S___, or S#!+.

Glenn S

Nice looking deck. Keep us posted.

Glenn S

Alex,
I think your right in your statements.

Hey nice decks on your site there and that foam core you posted looks killer. Keep us updated on how the new ones come out.

Glenn S

Ramon, Thanks for posting that link to the pictures of the Paris race hosted at the Airflow website. I had not seen those and they are very good and give a good feeling of the race. It is also good to put a face to your words. Pierre, Sorry to hear about your mishap. Hope you hand is doing better so...

Glenn S

Pierre,
The decks look great.

Do they have concave as well as camber? From the pictures of the above it looks as if the bottom has a bit of roll in it, so I'm assuming they have concave.

Glenn S

Martin, I saw a picture on the site here of a "downhill" deck of yours that was foam core with what looked like custom trucks too and it looked awesome . I saw that Airflow is also making foam core decks for slalom too. Could you possibly make a few posts here about the different foam core decks (s...

Glenn S

Nice work table!

Glenn S

Jani and Hans,
Received my copy of issue twenty four of Slalom! yesterday. Excellent work! Thanks.

Glenn S

Jack, Thanks for a great day of racing. The jam format was killer. I'd recommend this for most all Grassroots events. It was so beautiful up there today. Wind on our back for almost half the race or more. Super sunny crystal clear day but a cool ocean breeze, ocean view looking up to the pristine co...

Glenn S

Joseph, There is also David Hamm and Lynn Kramer that you should contact too. I'll try and track you down some emails or have them email you if that is ok. Lots of skating going on down your way. Make sure you check out the La Costa race coming up in July. But I'd imagine that these guys will be doi...

Yes that is fine. I am for sure interested in a R2 30* angle plate set if you have one. Also what axles and bushings do you have for the R2s?
Thanks!

Glenn S

TK,
Please let me know what you have for R2s.
Thanks,
Glenn

Hey Joseph, I'm in Dana Point. There are a few places here and in San Clemente for slalom practice that I have spocked out and skated by myself. In Oceanside there is Lorreta Street that the San Diego crew skates. And StinK Hill is another spot out in La Costa too. You should contact Tiger Williams ...

Corky, I was just looking over your list of Major, Mains, and Primes. The UK is listed many times over many other countries. Main - Paris, France, May 29-31st - Gruningen, Switzerland, June 20-21st - Köln, Germany, July 31st-August 1st - Antibes, France, September 11-12th Prime - Brands Hatch, UK Ju...

Glenn S

Steve, I really like Indy's as a front truck, tweaked a bit (longer kingpin; 1/4" to 1/2" longer, to accept full size trimmed yellow Stimulators), and the 8mm axles which Barret does. I'm not sure if Barret puts in a longer kingpin on his trucks. But you should consider it either way. And get youres...

Glenn S

Glenn, Do you have a set of Radikals?? Are they as good as the price reflects? I've been thinking about getting into a quality set of trucks but man , 350 is a lot of money for a set of trucks but i guess you get what you pay for. Radikals have alot of different axles for ?? I’m not sure but they a...

Glenn S

Vlad,
Your skating naked?

Where's your pink g-string?

Glenn S

Vlad, I looked at that link. It's all for GIRL's!!!

PINK is 4 GIRL's???

Glenn S

Not much notice for anyone needing to travel? Is this just a local thing? can't view ncdsa. Can you post specifics here?

Glenn S

Robert, I think Steve is correct. That it is actually .400" that you need. I asked Howard Gordon this once because I had been told that .400" was what was correct when the 3dm site said 10mm. This is what Howard said back to me: Our website is wrong (thanks for noting this) - the correct spacing is ...

Hey Sam, I had heard that Geezer had gotten special "hardened" stock of 8mm rod. So if someone wanted the Seismic with that I'm sure that he could. I thought he mentioned something about this "hardened" stock costing just a tad more. I like all my conventional trucks that have been Geezer ized . Thi...

Hey Vlad, how did Pink Leather do against Black Leather? ;-) Did you get that pink g-string of yours spanked? I'm stoked that you made the trip out.
