thanx for the ideas adam: i really want to help the usa market, i have a good friend that has the plastic factory who can inject the risers. the main problem are the initail production cost to give u an idea the mold costs 1300 per riser, so we are talking of an initial inversion of 8000 usd so i wo...

Scott, i want to organize an international skateboarding event in venezuela, consisting in speedboard, and Slalom. i can send u some pics of the course, iwant to IGSA to rule the event. as u must probably know Venezuela was a strong competitor back in the 70-80 at slalom, i want that to happen again...

Wes, thanx for the suggestion i passed the designing stage, now i amin the production cost stage. OÑO pads are almost a reality this are the angles so far: 1°,2°,3°,5°,10°,15° any colors in specific? height of the thinpart will be 1mm and they will made of hard plastic. suggestios accepted leo

i took a closer look to my 101´s and i realize that the hanger is thiner in one side and thicker in the other!!!!!!!! so my trucks broke the 3 errors barrier: 1.- a hole in the baseplate that i guess its that the aluminum didnt filled the mold completely 2.- the crooked hanger on the part where it m...

I changed my indys orange bushings to blue soft doh-doh in my response, it feels a lot different, the only problem is that the washer was cutting the bottom bushing so i took it apart and turn it over and put together agian the truck. is there any consecuence(sp?) on having the washer convex instead...

Howard, why is only fr kids use? i havent tried the wheels yet (no $$$) i think that 80a its hard for the rough surfaces i am used to ride in here. when the team turner used te soft formulas, how did they place in those competitions? and why u will search traction on hard wheels? thanx leo On 2002-1...

now seriously, altought i wasnt involved in the resurrection of the Turner boards nor the slalom in usa, i feel sad for news like this. i kind of compare tuner boards with ferraris or lamborghinis, one of the best products ever made, they involve some mistery and passion that when u see them you can...

how about a softer avalons? 77a 78a?

the other day i saw a cs68 lime krypto, it felt very soft, i am guessing 78a, i liked the lip and the shape of the wheel,how much worth a set these days?

leo

i chenged my 77a stingers on my response and i put some 75a flashbacks, of course it feels a little heavier but also faster, havent checked my times with this new setup, so far i like it.


have anybody tried this setup?

leo

Glenn, i prefer harbinger because of their strenght and design, i dont know if pro-design makes WG, but u should check http://www.harbingersports.com

leo

we have organized only 2 competitions, so far everybody loves the sport, first race was on a 250ft road, medium to shallow grade, consisted on 15 cones SGS, and it was a sucess. last competition consisted in 2 lines of 25 cones 11ft apart, this was more exciting and got more positive feedback from r...

i found out that my indys have an irregular hanger.
the outer part of the hanger that its right next to the axle where i put the inner washer its not straight, its kind of crooked.

have u experienced something like this?, how can i repair it?

leo

thanx for claryfy this Debbie, we are eager to see new models and colors (red & black would be sweet)

a happy response user

Great design, i want to make a foot block, what do u guys use? ( i dont have snow in here so i cant use any snowbaord stuff)

leo

i c adam, its that the new response "lite" that comes only in brown?

or is a special edition taht u have.

leo

great post Bob, i find difficult to understand many of the aspects of slalom, to tell u the truth its so technical, or at least pro riders have changed it into the indy or F1 of the skateboarding. wedges, angle risers or wichever name they can call it, are so hard to understand, i read some post tha...

are this trucks good for anything in particular? i can get a pair of 650(i think) and i wanted to know what would be the best use of them.

leo

I only use high ankle shoes, they can save ur ankle of a luxation or even a fracure.

have anybody tried the new vans dogtown models? i want to get the new tony alva leather model, but want to know any reviews.

leo

I use a 32" Landyachtz Mummy with 135 seismics yellow front and red springs on back, with flashbacks 75a.

i use this for my everyday transportation and to runs sgs and gs courses, pics will be up, as soon i learn how to post them

Adam, what model/year are those decks, why is one of them so short? did u chopped it? i have a response 3 ply (my only slalom deck) with 101 indys and 77a stingers. i regripped it because the decal on the top was just where i place my front foot and i was slideing thru the deck. now i move it to the...

Adam, (call me Leo pls) you can check them at http://www.slidegear.com , they are the product of a great mind, the knucklehead master himself, Alan Sidlo. there are a few pics around, i dont have a dig camera but i am waiting some pics of my last comp. u shoud use slide gloves! they can save your bo...

i always get confused with the many definitions of the distance on slalom, i organized the "first" (in 20+ years) slalom competititionin my home town, i tought it was GS but i want your oppinion. the course consisted in a mellow hill, with 25 cones 11 feet apart OC. more or less like the cyber slalo...

I am a happy user of the slide gears, they work perfect for slalom. the detachable puck its an easy process to do it and won't make you loose your concentration after the start. Best part is that they are light and they can be customized with decals, paint or whatever you have in mind. Leo _________...

Adam, i really like the concept of the site, I am a ncdsa user for more than 2 years, and i can dare to say taht it has grown in that short time, but one of the thngs i dont like, specially the slalom forum its that its too small to explain a million things this sport has to offer, i like the idea o...

one question regarding the TTC´s, at ncdsa(and i think in turner site) says that the TTC are for the rear only, what are the benefits on using both TTCs on big decks like this?.

i know it would be a killing the deck, but can this deck be cuted to use drop thru trucks?

I realy want to get a timing system, but i cant afford a 250$ one, i know that i saw the diagrams for making one. tway, besides the timer, i have to get the wires and the tapeswitches too? thanx i love this site UPDATE: thanx for the email tway, i would buy it, but still its a lot of cash to spend f...
