Actually guys, talking smack during the race is a viable racing strategy. It happens all the time. I've seen several of the top guys use this strategy. Its all part of racing. And you can be sportsmanlike in your smack talk. GBJ is the best at using this technique. I usually end up DQing myself when...

I just received a Bahne Classic and the finish on this board is perfect. I set it up with some ACS651s and Abec11s. It is a great classic retro ride. I have not had an opportunity to run cones on it but I think it will prove to be a good slalom board. It is a little heavier than most boards due to t...

Well, the weather has taken a turn for the worst. I will keep everyone posted on this forum and the Events Forum of NCDSA on the status of the local weather.

I'll be at Vans on Thursday. Weather permitting. Got some new Bahne boards and wheels to try out.

I received one of the new GC models as a prize at the WV race. It is supposedly one of 10 made with a diagonal layer of carbon fiber. I have only been able to try it out on a mild hill but the extra layer greatly decreases the horizontal flex (twisting) of the deck. The camber is also considerable s...

I am considering trying to get a classic Turner cutaway. I plan on using this board for TS. What would the recommended wheelbase be?

The Turner Website list 18.625 inches. However, I know that JG and UR13 have different opinions about what works best for New England type courses.
