Re: skills
the evolution in our sports goes forward. flatland slalom is old school. when i organised the 2006 hannover race, it was only an emergency solution, to go on a flat parking lot, because they cancelled our expo party. flatland slalom is out for most of the skaters. it´s way more fun to race on a slo...

flavio: you have to put some trust into what experienced riders say troca is fast. we will build the ramps for this years event and these will add to the factor too. visit the event,skate the course competitively and then you are able to give comments on the cone setting.

You have to warned them about the "natural speed" of the Trocadéro slope too... I have; they train on much steeper slopes than that... Anyway; those speed freaks are a lot faster than I am; but still I can finish the 2m track (c-t-c) flawless, hè hè ;) Anyway, whoever wants to see some Dutch slalom...

I'm sure that some Dutch riders (AMs) would like to see the cone distance for TS on 7 feet / 2,10m . They have great difficulties with 6,5 feet / 2m because of their fast wheels and technique... But a few are eager to train on 6,5 feet / 2m; I've scared them with the ISSA rule of 1,70m ;) So now the...

Regarding a maximum wheel size for slalom: I'm surprised that no one has made the (to me) common-sense argument of "natural selection," i.e., that the type of course itself will almost always dictate what type of wheel to use. Tight slalom? Who in his or her right mind would use a 92mm Flywheel? (I...
