Tway, I have to agree w/ John. Your new timing system should definatly incorperate the Newton system. I saw john look up some phone numbers on his and it was very slick to say the least. Laptops are far too large and cumbersome and drain lots of megs. can you do one that runs off a cell phone? TK

Tway, you are a very clever guy and quite astute. My love affair with the 62 mm strada wheel began when they were the only wheels out there worth riding. I never considered them a Quad wheel but a slalom racing wheel that quad guys used on occasion.Also I have only been skating for 2 years and reall...

I rode 62mm Stradas in 88 and 92 all day long at the Gathering II. I was being stubborn and did not want to change. I would have beat chaput if I rode newer wheels.

Brian, get a set of Turner Avalons and a couple of sets of cambria's or Stingers and be done with it. We got the best stuff on earth built for us right here. Leave the quad stuff alone. TK

Bruce that was beautiful man, I read the first paragraph and I knew the what followed was gonna be great so I got a beer, came back and took it all in. Nice. Fleas Navidog. TK

John, Riding Parallel is a life choice. Let me explain.Those fashion models who do heroin for the "look" are not real dope fiends. Its about Keith Richards baby, get it? All these girls who go with other girls because its fashionable are not REAL lesbians. The indigo girls are REAL lesbians. Just be...

Yes Chris, you are cheating. And don't think I don't catch all the other little cheats you sneak in when you think no one is looking. Like the time you stepped into my line of sight to"adjust a cone" right before my final run in the GS event at the Gathering. Our eyes locked for a split second and I...

Andy you're right. It is lame. But this is about the guys who are true to an art form.Who only race and ride parallel. They are the last of a dying breed and this race is in a way honoring them. Are they the fastest,no. We could make it an open and just give Gilmour the prize but he already has a st...

Let me clarify.In order to participate in the WPSC's you MUST race parallel stance in races. You cannot be a hot shit racer who can ride parallel but races surf stance (JG,Chaput etc). This race is for the guys who live it, the guys who still have Piercy posters on their bedroom wall,the guys who re...

I just recieved a call from Bruce Brewington . He called to tell me he was shocked that I would bet against him in the World Paralled Stance Championship match up. Wes Tucker is his opponent and resides here in the east. Henry backed Bruce I backed Wes. The Race will be a part of the 03 Slalom on Da...

And THAT my friends ,is why I read each and every VLAD post I see regardless of topic.. TK Vlad, on a more personal note, please be mindful of your feelings toward CMC. He is a master Svengali and has broken the heart of many who have seen him carve. I have seen grown men swoon over him when he walk...

No offese to Mr Brewington, but I'll take that bet Hester. 50.00 on Wes. TK

I know John Gilmour, I live in Hampton BEACH,I have injured my wrists,I have payed for Verdone GERT's. (which by the way make me faster than william tway) . So there.

Bruce, how come you never call me anymore. Terry

Dang! Thats some heavy shit! I say you guys duel it out at Da farm 03 and the loser buys beer for everyone and has to give the winner of the Henry J and Joe Iacovali grudge a hand job. Anyway, John Gilmour , All the guys you mentioned Me, Noah, Curt, 13, etc are all gunning for YOU! You are now the ...

When Psych jobs go bad... At Avilla Beach Gs this year I went into the round of 8 having to race Siale. Given the course and having seen Siale at La Costa I felt like I needed an edge. I ask JG what do I do. JG says get the sickest start you can and it may rattle him and force him to scrub on the fi...

Thanks for posting Jack. Admittedly I have fallen out of the communication loop but look forward to helping develop the programs you mentioned. Thanks Andy and Jack. TK

Chris, when I say I'll spot so and so some cones I mean I don't start untill the other racer is 3 cones into the course or whatever. That makes it fun because you have to hunt the other guy down and he has to not freak out and panic in order to win. These races can be exciting no matter who is racin...

Joe, I spot you 6 cones on a long course (40 cones) 3 cones on a short course (25 cones) and we go. I would put sandy up against you but she is pregnant and being waxed by a pregnany woman may push you over the edge. The wager is a case of your beer of choice. (yes I realize I still owe you 35.00) 2...

A Short Story By Terence Kirby "The Day Slalom Almost Died" It was the Bob Turner Memorial 2002 at La Costa California. The Birthplace of Slalom. All the names were there to win the first ever Bob Turner memorial Slalom Race. Dunn, Ransom, Hester, Evans, Cross, Masey, Chicken, Olson, Hackett... and ...

800.00 dollars. Gilmour you fool.

Go ahead Henry, Tell the story.

Henry, how about the conversation between Kenny Mollica and John Gilmour at the Roe tent on Sat at La Costa after they had finished race one of their match up. That was classic, exciting ,funny, and had us all at the edge of our seats. Kenny was still propositioning John ON THE START RAMPS! If that ...

JG,I thought the format in Boston was a bit cofusing and took a long time to get to what would have been the final 4 racers any way you ran it. Granted guys got to run lots of runs but in some cases it was too many runs which left the top qualifiers waiting around and getting "cold". Races are races...

Who makes them, how the design works, who came up with it,Materials used etc.. Thanks, Terence

Tway, John will probably tell you something like "get some bennets and a narrow FibreFlex" or some other foolishness for Tight parallel. Do not believe him. Run your BR and your Seismic TTC combo and leave the bennets on the mantle. John sometimes gets stuck in the 70's. (though in all fairness he i...

were looking at no more than 200.00 per truck but no less tham 125.00 per truck. Oct first will be the orders date and Pete will have a solid price by then. Right now the first production run is in the machine shop being made. TK

I'll never ride a conventional truck again. They are that good(for me at least) . Trackers and indys ride like toys by comparison. Even Gilmour loves them and he hates everything!You can tune them like an offset for the rear and they stick like tape but slide predictably. There is no pivot cup slop ...
