Looks like the winners took home prizes of young children. I think T shirts are a better alternative. Don't go getting any ideas about ski poles Jani. Michael, I think that they are skating around the "goodie bags" at the bases of the ski poles, and it looks like that is what they are taking home! ...

Ok I know of this "For Sale-Wanted" forum and ncdsa's "Buy/Sell/Trade" forum.

But are there others where you can find good deals on used skate gear(and not just strictly slalom gear necessarily) that anyone would like to mention here?

Glenn S

Howard,
Great that you guys pulled off what looks to have been a great event at your practice spot.

Any photos you can post?
Thanks.

I've not had a chance to skate much lately because of work but I "thought" the bushing had more room around the sides on the R3 as well as being deeper. Maybe the first try at a fix should be a custom metal/aluminimum/(TI :wink:) preload plate that fit the slot almost exactly and would also take up ...

Glenn S

Yes I truly feel that a new better fitting bushing/grommet is the best way to go for the R3s. If you put a bushing in an R2 with no tension on the preload it seems perfect. With bushings being 2a in duro apart I don't have to put much tension on the bushing before I just decide to switch it out. Whe...

Glenn S

Noah: My guess is that the noise is a result of the bushing tension plate shifting in a turn. To my eye, the yellow bushings look very slightly smaller than the greens, but using green bushings doesn't stop the click either. Maybe the bushing socket in the hanger is a little larger than the R2's? T...

Glenn S

This is a quote from PVD over at the vendors corner of ncdsa: "the developement of this truck has not stopped. the R3 is basically in it's final form, but some very minor changes have been made for improved performance. any R2 customers and early R3 customers should contact me to purchase R2 update ...

Found this site that sells the foot stop that I think Michael Dong is currently using on his decks.

Anyone else using these? What do you think?

Jani or Adam, I notice that under "Edit Your Preferences" above that there are many languages a user can select to help navigate the site. Are you able to add Japanese to that list?

I added that last one( http://www.peterverdonedesigns.com ) to my "favorites" in Internet Explorer. When I clicked on it after looking at this post I noticed it had a changed look.

Glenn S

Chris, Is this( http://www.peterverdonedesigns.com/skateboard/r3/index.html ) the new site your talking about? Looks good. When do you think that the other pages will be done? http://www.peterverdonedesigns.com/skateboard/r3/art/homepage_photos/02.jpg http://www.peterverdonedesigns.com/skateboard/r3...

The link on that site for the mp4 video clip is weird.

Try this one if that one does not work for you:

Glenn S

Brian, I do feel that this deck would work for you at this wheelbase and your weight. It is hard for me to say exactly how it will flex. And I'm sure everyone has their own feeling about the proper flex. I do know from being able to attend practices with Richy Carrasco who weighs 230+, that this dec...

Glenn S

Adam, Sorry, I am not interested in a trade. I want the cash. But for those that might be interested in buying it. Let me just say that the scratches and the nose are really minor. The scratches are not deep just enough to make a visible difference. I just felt that they needed to be mentioned being...

Glenn S

I hope I did not offend Howard and 3DM with my posting about the axles. I really just think that axles can get bent over time especially if you ride over big bumps and stuff, or even from hard pumping use, and that is what I speculate is why the used trucks that I bought are off in alignment. As far...

I asked Jani to host the original Word.doc that Pat sent me. The link to the download is above.

Vlad,
Do you really think that there are responsible people in D.C.?

Glenn S

That was just what I was wondering if it was like an Indy. I thought I'd heard that the TTC was designed originally for the Indy baseplate, and was released to the public a few months before Tracker even started making the RTX/S series. The 100mm TTC that I have I got used from Bobo. The axles are e...

But I feel that this deck, not even near as s...

Glenn S

How would the "ride" of a 100mm TTC compare to that of an RTX, RTS, or Indy modified offset truck? Just looking for opinions on the ride between offset trucks and the TTC. Does the TTC ride more like an Indy, RTX or RTS or completely different? Would the TTC ride any different in an Indy vs. RTX bas...

Glenn S

Hans,
If you do get up to MPG format. Do all the past stuff too if you can. I'd like to see some of your work. I'm not gunna pay for a RM player to view your current work. But that flash above is great work.

Glenn S

Like Patio I've noticed just the opposite of the below recommended Rad Pad system that I think Patio is talking about. From what I've seen lately of many of the top skaters using Indy's and RTX trucks, most put the more angled "wedge" up front and go with a much lesser angled "de-wedge" or "flat" in...

Yeah your right Vlad, I was thinking I'd like to add at least another half inch on that width or so. 8" is too narrow for my big feet. My ancestors moved from Europe to America many hundreds of years ago where we evolved, growing much taller with big feet. :razz: [ This Message was edi...

The reason I asked about the kicktail is that I've been trying out a Fibreflex "Teamrider" for TS: <img src=http://www.fibreflexskate.com/images/30teamridertop.jpg> And I really like the kicktail for back foot placement, and was thinking of adding foam on other decks and making a tail kick for this ...

I suggested to Casey that he try and round up a used Freerider because it is a great deck with a full outline with not too long of a wheelbase. He said he was looking for a good pumping machine not just for slalom. With the full outline he does not have to deal with getting used to a cut-away tail i...

Website for Crash Pads

I've see quite a few slalomers wearing these or improvising with just inserting padding under shorts.

Glenn S

Anyone have any R2 angle plate sets in 45-50*, and 30-35* that they'd like to trade.

I have 25*, 20*, 40*, 55*, and even 60*

Hey Vlad, I am also getting there on Thursday. I am staying in Denver that night and driving out to Breckenridge on Friday for the Slalomcross. I here there are some good Micro Breweries along the way. Maybe I’ll see you at one. I am hitting them on the way back to Denver on Monday too. :wink: Glenn

Glenn S

Vlad,
Are you going to Breckenridge?
If so, I'll see you there.
