Hey Leonardo!

What kind of gloves are these?

Maybe you can give us a e-mail or web address so that others will know which gloves you are talking about.

I don't use slide gloves, yet...

Thank you for posting the information.

Bob Frias has a small pivot Full Track Offset. Being a Tracker fan myself, I am interested in this truck as I have a set of small pivots.

Bob, can you let us know how these ride?

Where did you get them done?

I was surfing the internet using "slalom skateboarder" in a couple of search engines and found the below story at the "Puget Sound Business Journal" The story is about RoeRacing and is a informative insight into the attitude of a slalom skateboard enthusiast, manufacturer and someone who actually ca...

Thanks for the post Richard, I appreciate your observation and agree but there is always another point of view or more to the story. What you did not address is the "login." What we have here is a user site that one can quickly goto a user by looking at the memberlist and check EVERYTHING that the u...

Yes, this sounds like a good forum. I too have a love for the racing boards of an era past. My first Turner was from the late 70's and have been riding one ever since along with Santa Cruz "Graphite Loadeds" and a G&S here and there as well. I still love my small pivot Trackers that Shaggy has put t...

http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/Boards/Comet/Comet.JPG I purchased one of these boards because of it's longer wheelbase and stiff flex profile. I set the board up with a flat front Seismic 110mm (yellow springs) and a wedged rear Seismic. Hyper wheels in 62mm 88a front, 78a rear. I use this one a...

http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/Boards/G&S/3.JPG I've set up a "Response" deck for my children's use on slalom skating days.

Adam Trahan

Nice web site. Thanks for making an English version. You guys are crazy about Slalom! Maybe one day I will be able to check out one of your boards. I like riding all types of boards, the journey is as fun as the finish line!

See you guys around.

Adam Trahan

I've owned a couple of sets of Independent 101mm Offset trucks. I tried them on the rear of a Santa Cruz "Graphite Loaded" and a Comet "Gary Cross" and didn't like them, it just didn't feel good to me. I have always prefered a Tracker or a Seismic wedged, this is a personal preference. This is not t...

Adam Trahan

I'm a pool skater as well Bob and I like a hard edged board, much like my personal Blackbird and Graphite Loaded that you have purchased from me. I like to feel the edge of the board, it is a function that serves me well. Don't get me wrong, I dig my rolled edge board too, it serves a different purp...

As we build each new issue of Slalom [online] I would like to invite each and every one of you to write an article or send in a photograph and submit it for publication. I would simply ask that your article or photograph be on slalom skateboarding, any aspect. I think it would be neat to read your s...

Adam Trahan

I have a set of Cambria and Avalon wheel sets and I must say that these wheels are superior to any wheel that I have ridden over the last 20 plus years of road riding. Sure, I have had a wheel combination that was specific to a certain hill and temperature, but the Cambria and Avalon wheels posses a...

http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/Stuff/FootBlock.JPG I've always wanted a board with a foot block and I got one from Atilla. Here is a photo of the set up which I further customized by "cutting out" unnecessary material. The foot block is on a single bolt held up off the deck by a 8mm bearing spac...

I have recently have ordered a 36" Pocket Pistol Super G board. My plan is to set it up with Sesimic 135mm with trimmed lip Avalons. The board seems very stable and I am currently in the process of tunning it before I go and rev it up for the drop. Can any of you post your board configuration? I am ...

Adam Trahan

I have ran in the 30mph range with a short wheel base slalom board, wedged back (de-tune) and flat front Seismic with silver springs and rubber wedge and riser. The board was not twitchy and the vibration was acceptable. Can any of you help with what your top speed and configuration on a set of Seis...

Adam Trahan

Hello Dan!

I have "wedged" a couple of Seismics to take out the steering in the rear position. Is there any thoughts on wedging techniques from you in regards to de-tuning and or alternative angle plates in the future?

Adam Trahan

I have heard some interesting things in both marketing and in the design of this truck. Can any of you give us insight to your knowledge of this design?

Adam Trahan

Hey Wesley, I had a fullnose "Blackbird" that was at least 9" plus. I had mounted magnesium sixtracks on it, Seismic 135mm were ok too. But that board got away from me (in a moment of weakness!) Bob Frias has it and it is a sweet board, one of the best I have ridden. Turner has been making wider boa...

Oust Moc 7 bearings (with proper spacers) in Turner Camb...

Adam Trahan

Howard, or anyone else... I have had a bunch of Turners. One of my favorites was a "Blackbird" a early model, very FAT with wheel wells. Bob Frias now owns it. I've also seen a few different variations of shapes in regards to "classic" models in full and cutaway. Would it be possible, for those of u...

Adam Trahan

Yeah, I gottem too! I bought a couple of sets and mixed them up for a couple of boards I have that needed to be set up. I then bought a race case which I will have as a choice in addition to my Cambria's and milled Avalon's. I even bought another race case and had it sent to Shaggy. He shined up a s...

Adam Trahan

Gentlemen,

Can you post in this forum, slalom boards available in Sweden along with their web sites? I want to take a look at what is available originating in your country.

Thanks,

Tight Slalom I usually just march off about 6' with my "feet" and lay a cone down on a natural line in the road. When I am done, I will go back and adjust any offsets that I don't want. My question is on getting even a better course set. How do you set perfect TS courses or is it not done that way i...

Adam Trahan

Yeah, I'm waiting on my TTC to complete my "Unlimited" and will let you know what I think of her. I've been setting 6' centers on the flat lately and am looking forward to getting to the foothills to open up a little. I'll be taking the Unlimited when I go. Thanks for supporting the slalom community...

Adam Trahan

It is my experience that there is a distinct lack of specific degree of angled wedges avaialable. In my exhaustive research, I have only come up with two readily available wedges. Tracker and those urethane wedges found at online retailers. It is of my opinion that if an enteprising individual manuf...

Hey, thanks a lot. Best Western (San Marcos Inn) is about my speed. I am really looking forward to watching and participating (if possible) at the Morro Bay race. It's going to be a long drive for us from Phoenix. I appreciate the tip on the accomidations. On 2002-08-29 16:09, Gary Holl wrote: try t...

Adam Trahan

Dan, I have been using Seismics since you have been making them. John Gilmour tipped me to check them out. I have several sets and really enjoy them on all my slalom and carve/longboards. On my slalom boards, most of the time I will leave the front Seismic flat and wedge the back for slower turning....

Unreal grip, I hope it is available for purchase. It is what is on my 36" Pocket Pistol GS board. In my search for traction, I've run the gamut, sanding disk, floor sander grip, pizza grip, rubber and odd hardware store varietys of grip tape but nothing comes close to Pocket Pistols "Pistol Grip" Go...

Thanks BoBo. You have a couple of prized boards talked out from under-my-feet.
