Joe- The yellow Bonita I had at the G3 is the pintail version. We now have a full-tail version as well. This is a custom board that was professionally painted by Corey Moy for RoeRacing. We hope to be able to offer Corey's handiwork as an option on all our boards in the very near future. This board ...

Thanks to Pat Chewning, Dave Mitchell and the rest of the guys from the Portland Grass Roots Slalom Association for putting on a great little race yesterday! The weather was amazing and was unseasonably hot for the Pacific Northwest in April. It was great to see everyone charging the hill and...

Henry-
We really are building a slalom board for the Prince. He showed a genuine interest in slalom skateboarding and will be getting a RoeRacing Slalom deck with new Seismics and Turner (3DM) wheels this weekend in New York.

BTW - a package is coming your way!

We have built a lot of "custom" boards in the last 2 years. Some more "custom" than others. However, when Vlad ordered his board, he was very specific with his directions. I had to double and triple check with him to make sure it was exactly what he wanted. He knew exactly what would work for him! T...

The RoeRacing Team is very fortunate to be sponsored by <a href="http://www.giro.com" target="_blank">GIRO Helmets</a>. Even if I wasn't sponsored by Giro, I would still be wearing a Giro helmet. If the Giro brand is good enough for Lance while he is going 50 mph on his bike, why wouldn't I w...

Gareth Roe

Paul-
These boards contain the exact same materials as the ones you are riding. We hope to be able to offer the colors as an option in the VERY near future.

We can't fully divulge the "New" materials we were talking about quite yet!

Pat- Thanks for coming up and riding with us! Sorry the weather didn't hold out for an all day session. Looking forward to teaming up with the Portland/Vancouver guys to put on a great slalom racing series in the coming months! Everyone - Keep checking here for race information and a clander of race...

Chris- I am a mongo pusher as well. It takes some getting used to, but a footblock has its definate advantages. Note: I still have not installed one on any of my decks yet - but plan to soon. I have ridden Michael Dong's Bullet with a very functional foot black made from a... well I will let Michael...

Here is a picture of Gary Fluitt's toe stop on his Bottle Rocket that Dan Hughes is describing.

Very functional, light-weight, easy to adjust, and has the added bonus of protecting you when skating in lightning storms!

Dave- Thanks for hosting! IT was well worth the trip even if it did start pouring down rain the second we got the course and timing system all set up! It was great meeting Pat Chewing and seeing Paul Howard and the others again. We will have a lot of fun in the near future on theat WSU hill! Lets st...

Michael D. and I went to his top-secret indoor cyber slalom venue this morning! Floor is PERFECTLY flat (a little bit too smooth and slippery), cones were laser aligned and measured! Lots of amused engineers standing around watching. The image on the left was taken from the start box looking down to...

Anyone interested in matching up and trading good shoes? (really NOT as weird as it sounds...) Here's what I am thinking? I have a closet full of Vans (Old Schools and Rowley's) that I can't wear anymore because, as a Slalom Racer, I foot drag. The result is worn out left shoes and almost new right ...

Gareth Roe

I propose we set something up exactly as what Neil G. suggested back in 2000. Metric measurements and all! (See above posts) We will try and set up this "Virtual Slalom Course" this weekend if the weather permits and start posting some times right here! What do you think Michael? I suggest anyone el...

Howdy- Looks like the weather is going to cooperate for us tomorrow, so... lets set up at the cones at North Seattle Community College. Practice begins at 12:00 with the racing to start at 1:00. Fastest time of the day goes home with a set of Pleasure Tool ABEC7’s! (don’t worry, Michael D. won’t be ...

Pat- In the next couple of weeks, weather permitting, a group of us from Seattle will be heading down to the Portland area to ride with you guys. I can't wait to set a course at the WSU campus. Steven King, Portland native - now living in the Bay Area, will be coming up in the near future and we may...

Seattle Slalom (2/9/03) Here are a couple of photos that Dan Hughes took last Sunday. Thanks Dan for bringing your camera! When Dan is not taking photos – he flies down the course! He is a marked man! It won’t be too long until my times are faster than his! :wink: <img src="http://hom...

Seattle Slalom We had a great time on Sunday (2/9/03) despite the threat of rain and near-freezing temperatures. Enthusiasim was running high and a lot of people here in the northwest are eager to race. We will keep this going every Sunday as it seems that there is genuine interest - especia...

Adam / Jani-

WOW! You guys have done a great job! Interesting content, great format with a slalom related slant on all fronts. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for your dedication and hard work.

Gareth Roe

Adam- We have several "Canned Courses" that we regularly run here in Seattle. We built a simple spreadsheet that places the cones on a grid (x/y axis) and then graphs it out for reference. It is nice because we can replicate the course on any hill we choose - the only variables being the new surface...

Gareth Roe

The Cascade Slalom Association had a great time racing in the sunshine yesterday at North Seattle Community College. The course was fast and tight - 52 cones with spacing in the 6 to 6.5 foot range, mild offsets, a couple of hips and a nice left sweeping Gilmourian curve thrown in to make it ...

Gareth Roe

The article that Adam is referring to ran in the Puget Sound Business Journal earlier this summer. The reporter, who is roughly my age, could not believe that there were guys in their 30's, 40's, and even 50's who were racing skateboards at such a competitive level. It was kind of unfortunate that t...

A short description and examples for each of the terms you mentioned would be great. Also, when is it appropriate to use some of these in combination and when is it not okay.
Thanks

Jack, Don, & John - I realize that this season has not even come to a close yet and there is still a whole lot of racing going on. BUT...

Hello Racers- If you own one of our decks or have just had an opportunity to ride one - please post a review. Tell us which model you rode and what your initial impressions were. Tell us something about how you have it set up - what wheelbase you are running, what trucks, wheels, bushings, risers, e...

Tway-
Nice simple system! Nice that it can be configured in several different ways as well. Way to go!!! I need to order one of them soon for the Seattle crew and the Cascade Slalom Association.
