Allright.

Finally something new. I will be happy to try them out one day.
It looks like a combination of all special slalom trucks on the market

A little Airflow, a little Radikal, a little PVD......................

Chris Eggers

OK. My question had a reason: I don´t like to see the course being set by a top racer alone. Setting the course with many different people may be a good alternative, if you agree on something. The best solution would be to have the course set by an experienced racer who does not compete in the race....

Chris Eggers

Who will set the courses for the Worlds?

Chris Eggers

Bernhard "Frankenblitz" Kuempel might know. He works for SKF and I think he rode for Calypso back then. I will point him to this thread.

Chris Eggers

My birthday will be the day before, the 20th, so bring gifts for me too...........hahahahaha

Chris Eggers

4 weeks to go until all the Slalomheads turn to Brixlegg. The Swiss around Manuel are probably practicing their asses off, the English around Michael are probably still in their Tea-break, the US-Boys around Richie are probably trying to scratch enough days off from work and I wait for a new board t...

Chris Eggers

To get back to the topic: My opinion, if there are many spectators, a good announcer is worth a lot. not much practice time. 3 - 4 runs in the special, 5 maybe. ( no, 5 is too much. We have 55 Ams in Brixlegg, that would be 250+ practice runs.........no) 2-3 in the tight. no max cone DQ 1 sec DQ pen...

Chris Eggers

We went to Winterthur and skated the bowl. Had a great time.
See you next time.

Chris Eggers

I have never been to Heiko´s but I can imagine because I know Heiko. The best ever skateshop I have seen was the Coyote Grind Lounge in Stockholm. It was hard to believe that something like this really existed, undescribeable. You gotta see to believe. I´ll keep you informed about the fest Meanwhile...

What do the swiss people say?
Schould I go or should I stay?

Thanks

I will..........

Just went into Titus Karlsruhe to buy griptape........I haven´t been there in a year or so.......I went in and thought I took the wrong door-----ey, where are the skateboards? Clothing, shoes........everywhere. In the back there was a small, very small indeed, corner with 20 or so decks............ ...

Chris Eggers

Cool I will wait for te forecast from tomorrow. I will be there if they say chance of rain less than 50 % Please J. can you make sure that things go faster? Last time we could have made the finals if the race would have gone faster.......... Start on time and don't let every group skate a hundred ru...

Chris Eggers

Chris E- nice dream. would it still be small local guys putting on a race that the big corporate guys would sponsor and tape and have monitors and sound systems- or would we be at their mercy with only the corporate guys holding big races with UN GODLY entry fees and travel halfway around the world...

Chris Eggers

..............and I thought I spend a lot of time in forums........silly I was..........

Chris Eggers

This is something I wanted to bring up since a long time..........who made this thing up? (For all the racers who don´t know what I am talking about: Since a certain time this is the start signal: Racers ready?.....five second warning..............after a certain time span only the starter knows, th...

oooooooh yes:

How many will be in the finals?
Head to head with how many?

WE have to prove him wrong. It is our task!
I really think it will be in his personal interest too. And in every other manufacturers also .......

Chris Eggers

Donald Campbell wrote in another thread "Slalom Skateboarding will be dead in a few years" He may be right. If we are honest, we are all old, I mean most of us are, most of the guys and girls who skate slalom regularly. I only see some activity of younger slalom skaters in Switzerland and some (2 or...

Steve Hinzen wrote:What is a World Championship worth if the best (ranked) racers don't compete in it ?

not that much

but remember when the Americans called their race "World Championship" even when no other nation competed?
Not that there is anything wrong with that...........

Chris Eggers

The ranking should not be the main factor to go to a race.
My strategy ist: go to the race, skate,have fun, go back home statisfied
That is all.
Fun is what counts
World ranking comes third
First is fun
Second is the result in the actual race

...but more important than all the rest of the ideas we need major sponsors to carry the costs of such an event. That's the biggest hurdle. None of the rest can be done without the sponsors./Jani I totally agree. Nothing happens without money. Which big companies could be intersted in us? I think t...

Chris Eggers

O man, shit, yes, we are mature..........how could I forget.....ah yes because skateboarding keeps me young, at least I feel so. I am pretty sure that the media cannot sell 40+ year old skaters with bald heads and beer bellies to a good audience, at least not in a serious way, so you are right, we h...

On the way home from Grüningen I thought about how great a slalom race could be. Not that Grüningen wasn´t any good, it was well organized and everything, but again, there were very little spectators, no suspense for those who watched........ Imagine: A good surfaced road in a big city on a nice sum...

Chris Eggers

I just thought about how I got into this again and thought it would be great to know how others took the journey back into this, so I´ll let you know my story first. I started skating in 1976 when there was nothing else but going down a hill doing turns, going up and down curbs and doing downhill ru...

Chris Eggers

One question: Are there sufficient runout spaces at the courses ends? Or do we need to footbrake?

Chris Eggers

yeah, I did not dare to ask what was in there when I saw him................

Chris Eggers

I think Jani can do it. I just checked and saw that Jacks sections were under the USA folder. Since we somehow all agreed that the Worlds should change from continent to continent every year I think a seperate WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS folder would be the best. Then you can create your own 2006 WORLDS top...

Chris Eggers

It was good fun as always, to bad with the weather. We should have started earlier or less practice time, like in Zürich last September. Anyway. Had fun, that is what counts. Thanks, I hope everyone got home safely. 3 Germans in the Top10? Harrharrharr........... 1 Frei Manuel (SUI) 14.247 2 Strobel...

Goooooooooooooooood

weather looks super good.
Let´s have a good race.

Parts of the GOG will be there!

Let´s see if we will have a foreign Swissseries leader on Saturday evening.

Chris Eggers

Happy B-day Stefano! 39 you youngster...........

The weather will be great so take that ol´bike over the mountains!

Hope to see you!

Saturday 2 minutes before our runs are
no need to practice on your easy courses
leave 20 seconds after Christoph has his first place prize money

Seriously about noon, leave after the ceremony

Chris Eggers

see you guys on Saturday!

These photos have been taken with a hidden camera during last years Stockholm race.

Chris Eggers

This is not a negative comment, not at all. It was a great event. I just never knew how often I had to race. Just a hint for the next time. As long as we don´t have a regulation for each and every race. I know, I am "complaining" ( I don´t) afterwards but I did not want to stänker during the race. Y...

Chris Eggers

Times and placings are correct. I could have told without a stopwatch that Mr. Baumann was the fastest. But Don, a riders meeting before the race, better before practice, could do wonders. I mean it wouldn´t be so bad to know how many runs we have, how much cone penalty is, what you get for a DQ or ...

Chris Eggers

You were fast as hell, man.

next time...............

Chris Eggers

Thank you Donald for a great Sunday of skateboarding. It was great to change the location, good decision.

The turnout was amazing and everyone had a good time I think.

The skating level is still on the rise as we all could witness.

Things are looking good for 2006.

Chris Eggers

wow, gnarly..........

Chris Eggers

I just ordered some secret rain wheel formula from Mr. Frankenblitz........hahahaha

see you soon baby

Who has already practiced in 2006? Germany and Switzerland and Austria are having the heaviest snowfall since 50 or more years and it is still cold and wet. I bet Ramon has shoveled a path on a secret mountain road and the airflow guys probaply have a secret nuclear bunker dry, heated, and lit somew...
