nice ride!

i also just got a 90mm split and i run it in front with an indy offset rear. very nice! but i do have a question, when you go from the 110mm and then switch it over to 90mm, what sort of ride differences should you expect?

thanks

Adam Daniels

how tight of a tight slalom are we looking at? just wondering because today i finally managed to get through 5.5ft spacing at a decent speed.....no timing system so i judged if the runs were faster but zooming onto the grass and seeing how far i could go :D and BTW: these split ds 90's kick butt in ...

Adam Daniels

great advice. what duros are cambrias available in? and my weight is about 92lbs at the moment and i really like to get all the grip in the rear as i can because on toeside turns it seems that i really push the rear end with my back foot A LOT.... and where is the best place to get cambrias? anyone ...

Adam Daniels

Mr. Wallgreen, How much would it cost (about) to take a 110mm rtx and trim it down to 90mm but have an axle that can still be spaced to 110mm? thanks i ask this because i have a split fire ds90 in the rear and wanted to know if a trimmed rtx would work in the front. is it ok to mix brands or would a...

Adam Daniels

so i trimmed my 74a's for nothing? that stinks.

hm....guess i will try them a little longer after my setup is the way i want it and i'll touch base

and BTW-awesome information right there. thanks a bunch

Adam Daniels

Right now i am running avalons that i have trimmed 4mm off of by myself and i was wondering what sort of wheels have the most grip as far as slalom goes. i don't really care about speed or carry through, i just want to know what wheels stick like glue to the pavement. mostly i was wondering about th...

Adam Daniels

great idea! one question: has anyone heard of the Split-Fire "D0" or "DO" 90mm hanger? thats what it says on mine and i have never heard of that model before. and for some reason i don't think the axle is 8mm, but i don't mind. i guess if it's slightly smaller than its fine because i won't be having...

Adam Daniels

i had this problem the first day i got my hanger...ends up the speed ring got stuck in the threads, all you do is shake it a little and hit the wheel on something and the speed ring would come right out

Adam Daniels

they are indeed punched letters.

the truck seems to liven up if you give it a few wedges

but i still want to try an r2

Adam Daniels

i'm sorry to saw this but it clearly says "D0" or "DO" on the hanger.

maybe i'm the only one who thinks it ride kinda dead. what bushings did you use in it? i'm going to try a little more and i might have a friend coming over so i can try an r2 base on it

Adam Daniels

what's the difference between a ds and a do?

i just got a DO 90mm hanger in the mail. any suggestions on how to set these babies up?

and where can i get 5mm spacers?

Adam Daniels

what is everyone's riding impressions when they run split-fires front and rear? is a dh baseplate in the rear too slow or is it perfect? i just want to know because in the near future i am setting my board up with 90mm splits.

thanks in advance for all your help

Adam Daniels

Well, the finish line should be placed where ppl can have enough time to airbrake, foot drag or slide. how was the vid? exactly. i put 100ft because looking at the hill i say that i would easily reach 30-35 mph if not higher and from that speed it takes a lil while to slow down. the video was great...

Adam Daniels

DH race, from top of the hill to the cul de sac, or is it too dangerous? that would be cool except that there is no way to safely make that turn without slowing down....if there was to be a Dh race the finish line should be atleast 100ft before the turn. and BTW-thanks for filming me for my dad at ...

Adam Daniels

i would be scared to see what people could do with ramps on a slope like that of Ball Mountain. whip out the flywheels or the avilas...that gives me an idea.

lets have a Downhill race at the event

Adam Daniels

i'll be there.

so what sort of racing is it going to be?

Adam Daniels

it doesn't look like i am able to make it.......stupid parents!

but count me in on the last outlaw race! it has been too long since my last slalom

Adam Daniels

so far it looks like we are doing a slalom session/jam or an outlaw race on the 21st at Ball Mountain..... i hope this works! and has anyone been up there lately? i just want to know if the marks are still there from the Farm race so i can try and run that again and be a lot faster! any word on a ti...

Adam Daniels

sounds great guys...but we need more people!

i know that "Uncle Frank" from silverfishlongboarding is down with it

who's going to be the lead man(main organizer)?

Adam Daniels

Adam, Just ask yourself one question: is the floor LEVEL? The more I watch it the more I am convinced the set is built with an incline. Then the camera is adjusted to alter the perspective. The clincher for me is the radiator fan moving across the floor. I just don't think it could generate the thr...

Adam Daniels

no matter how many times i see that i still remain impressed......but i wonder, how do the wheels roll up that incline? it sorta makes sense but they shouldn't roll up that high, and if you watch teh second tire hit the last one, it still rolls up.......

Adam Daniels

hey, i've been trying to see if people would like to have a session at the VT location that race #3 was at...but so far i have seen little interest so i am posting here. i'm up to almost any date but i am busy from the 13th to the 20th so would anyone be interested in having a slalom session up there?

Adam Daniels

cool, thats what i need to know.

would 85mm trackers (mid-tracks right?) be good for TS?

Adam Daniels

hey, i know this might sound like a stupid question but do you really need an offset truck for TS? or is an rt-s tracker preferable? i am just wondering because i am going to try and make myself a TS board with concave and want to know what i am going to be using on it. so basically what i really ne...

Adam Daniels

very cool.

but i do have a question, what wheels are ideal for grip when slaloming on concrete?

Adam Daniels

would anyone else like to go back to VT?

let me know when you are free eric

Adam Daniels

when is everyone free to go up to Ball Mountain Dam again?

the way my summer is laying out i don't think i will be able to make it to Jersey or Farm 5.0

but i really want to slalom agian, so who's up for VT?

Adam Daniels

up for sale is a barely used tracker rts 106mm slalom truck. mabye 5 hours put on the truck. $17 to your front door

Adam Daniels

so i'm guessing that the "Return to Ball Mountain" is going to happen now?

i'll be looking forward to it

Adam Daniels

i'm looking for a used tracker rtx in 106mm for a board i am trying to setup, its going to be one nice oldschool board

Adam Daniels

this may seem far fetched but i am looking for someone that wants to trade their 76mm kryptonics for some 70mm kryptonics......anyone?

Adam Daniels

o that was you? i remember i guy come into the parking lot saying someone lost there board and then seeing a guy walk into the parking lot with a dripping board.....where you riding gumballs that day at all? and didn't you have a dark blue shirt that said something?

Adam Daniels

i really want another chance at that course, last time i was scared to go faster because earlier in the day i slipped out at the bottom course, soon i will have packages at my front door so i can get more traction, i must improve from my measly 40 seconds

Adam Daniels

does anyone have the course measurements that were used on the 3rd race? i liked that course and if i get the measurements i would really like to mark it out near my house

thanks

Adam Daniels

does anyone have any other ideas on where #5 should be held? what about going back to ball mountain dam? that place was great

Adam Daniels

thats odd, ok i'll sned you the picture.

thanks

Adam Daniels

i've tried to get an avatar but i've have no progress. i've e-mailed glenn@slalomskateboarder but i have had no response, i am just trying to get a picture of me in my first race up in my avatar....any help or ideas?

thanks

Adam Daniels

Does anybody know why they are "rail" style? I'd like to try it but didn't for the moment. The rail style from what I've understand: not one wedge piece as large as your truck, but two narrow pieces, one for each side (two screws) like you can see on the pictures on the sk8kings website. i don't be...

Adam Daniels

very nice video indeed! i can't wait until the next one i can go to.

i didn't think i would be in it after i saw the minutes winding down but as soon as i saw that victorious shake of the fist in the vid i instantly experienced a giant smile that cracked open from ear to ear! props to the vid

Adam Daniels

yea. i heard you on the sidelines saying to look ahead.....when i was looking down i was doing this to see how much room i had to scrub off some speed so i wouldn't hit/skip any cones at the bottom

Adam Daniels

i can't wait until the next time we get to race that hill. the top course was the #1 used out of the two, the bottom course did get setup with cones but i think the majority used the top. i did like the bottom one.....it also claimed my skin :) eric, were you referring to me or to the other adam at ...

Adam Daniels

hi, i'm relatively new to slalom and just yesterday i entered my first race and i noticed that i need more traction in my rear end. i have been talking to Joe I and he recommends a split and other have recommended the chicken offsets and i have personally been looking at the tracker offset. price as...

Adam Daniels

i got there fine and it was a blast. thanks for everyone's help.

mapquest led us in the other direction completely on which way to go after exit 4.

eric, your directions were perfect!

Adam Daniels

if we mapquest this area is it the same as Jamaica State Park?

Adam Daniels

ok guys i need some help, i can't remember what site i found the mapquest link on to get to the VT race and when i try and punch "Ball mountain dam" into mapquest it comes up with no matches.........i am from east greenbush ny and i need help on the mapquest, i knew i saw a link to it somewhere and ...

Adam Daniels

i'll see if i can go to #4.....but right now i am practically peeing my pants for the third to arrive...........only 6 days to go!

Adam Daniels

i would also like directions from the NY side.........Albany region to be more precise. would mapquest be good for this or is it too vague?

BTW: course B sounds very nice......i can't wait to hit it up, right now i have a 25 cone course setup up the road with spacing ranging from 5 to 14 feet

Adam Daniels

the Brown Bomber Hardcore looks very nice, but so does the Subsonic Skateboards polywog i think its called, in the future section.

Adam Daniels

i already e-mailed him about the board and he said "complete only." all i need right now is a deck anyway..........not much cash to spare

Adam Daniels

does anyone have any used slalom decks that would be good for a person semi-new to this sport?

i am working on a low budget
