Re: Over there...

The problem is, this unbalances Etienne in the real world, where everything doesn't necessarily happen the way it th...

OK, Andy and Wes, now. i do not think this is clear enough, a man who comes to an official for help is not very likely to be a terrorist undercover.

basic stuff is 1m80 center to center in straight line, we generally call that a tight slalom, fine on flat or moderate slope. then you vary around. on a fast slope 2m will feel like 1m80. longer distance if offset: a 30/40cm offset will fit 2m40. you can put cones in curved lines too, and alternate ...

Erin if you are an adult the white Khiro will not last long, these are meant for kids. You do not tell us much of your set up.
