Henry, At least Joe posted a qualifying time for the TS. If I recall you DQ'ed both runs. If you could of managed not hitting more than NINE cones you would of smoked him and probably me too but i guess it was too hard of a course for you. Then again maybe your racing strategy is more just about plo...

Here is the map of the Race location.

Here is the poster that is going up around Boston!Don't miss The Freedom Race!

John, call me at work. I got news about Wentzle.

I'll be there.

Now if we can just decide on the race schedule. Its gonna be called The Freedom Race but Vlad you can call it the French Race and confuse everyone.Its all red white and blue either way.

Fat mammas, weed smoking dudes, fire-work-watchin potential Fidelity cusomers or hot sorority chicks partying on the frat house roof next to the course.

Who would you like to see take an interest in slalom skateboarding?

Roe Bullet review I had Gareth make me up a Bullet with Med-Stiff Flex for my 175 lbs. It was sent to TK and we drilled it together after flexing it. The wheelbase is 19.25" inner hole to inner hole making it about 21" axel to axel. This is my first high-performance board. Before this board I was ri...

I wouldn't miss it. And if the Arbortem race goes off on Sunday it will be jam packed weekend of racing!

John call me if you want some help with posters, t-shirts, whatever.

Vlad, I'm coming to race and hang out and everyone else should come too. July 4th in Boston is like history in the making and should be experienced by everyone at some point. I've seen it though and in my neigborhood its a warzone at night. Better to get out of town and go see family. I'll be at the...

I like TK's plan. Start early, one good course, finish early ready to celebrate the 4th. Last year it was so hot by noon I was glad I had Red Sox tickets just to get out of the sun (I wasn't racing because I had run cones only once before the race). There will be lots of people down there but they w...

Vlad, could you give us a board setup you think is ideal for this type of course? Deck, trucks, wheelbase, wheels? Anyone else please chime in, I think we all would like to know what could rip on these courses since we will probably see more of them this summer.

SteveP, I will be cruising on my alpine board next year for sure. Can't wait, but until then its SLALOM, SLALOM, and more SLALOM!

Geezer X, whats the cost on an 8mm setup on a set of trucks?

So what would Monkeywrench Machine Shop reccommend to upgrade ones trucks to gain more performance and speed? An offset or 8mm axles? I have Tracker RTX/S. Whats the cost and turnaround time on a set of trucks?

Anybody else flying into Baltimore BWI Friday night for the Gathering? I will arriving at 5:10pm and headed for Gaithersburg hopefully in time for the Park and Ride Race. If interested in hooking up for transportation to Gaithersburg let me know. Also if anyone driving past BWI around this time, com...

I love how Vlad can post one picture and generate all these responses. Its classic.

Love the suit, and form follows function. We will all be wearing track suits and riding skinny boards soon.

John, I got a G&S Response Pro last fall for $91 new. The board has too much flex for my 175lbs. but I think for a younger lighter newbie this board would be great. I think a slalom board with a lot of flex would be really appealing to someone who is only used a no-flex kick flipper deck. It would d...

Matt,
I'll give you 5 cones AND I will ride my BASS Board. You'll need more than a strong push to beat me, you gotta pump at sometime.

If I loose I'll blame the board and go and buy a Roe, then I will toast you back.

Jim

I just started skateboarding this year after a 20 year break. When I started skateboarding in New Hampshire at age 10 it was considered a fad then. 3 years later no one skateboarded and the few skateparks in the area closed. But at the time there were no limits to sport, my friends and I did it all,...
