My last post was in sarcasm. Please lighten up a little, I don't think you are a bad guy Michael. I enjoy your humour. I don't agree with your view, that's all. (same goes for Clingfilm) If I ever make it to the UK to see the circles in the corn, you will be the first person I look up to have a pint...

Re: Ramps
Chris Eggers likes ramps as he gets a better view of my technique. I believe that silverstone is ramp start, though Cloingfilm can confirm this. And Hans....you are confirming EXACTLY why your system is scewed, warped, and bent. Its not JUST about continental racers coming to the UK. Its about race...

Re: ISSA
[...snipped]The ISSA has no relevance to the current slalom scene in either the US or the UK, and as such makes it far form International, and at best a rather regional organisation that votes itself in, and then says it speaks for skaters. Its a nonsense. Well now, I can appreciate the clarity of ...

Re: UKSSA withdraw support
As we are not recognised as a slalom series organiser and points system we withdraw all support for this project. I can see no benefit for a UK or East coast US skater in this system. I have worked hard on this for a lomg time and our exclusion hurts alot. I wish any other series well. let this die...

What is the UKSSA?
Chris,
Can you give us some statistics on your organization?
What is the history of the UKSSA? How many enthusiasts, where you ride/race etc?
I am interested and I want to be informed.
Thank you in advance.
