Yes switzerland has the biggest slalom scene but other countries are coming more and more...the problem in switzerland is that most guys are only into that slalom thing and have no idea what skateboarding is all about. That is absolutly ok for me but nearly all guys from Germany have a "real" Skate...

i bring a pen and a note pad to the sessions, and chalk, yet sometimes i realise i forgot something

Etienne de Bary

i didn't mean cheating, i just thought it wouldn't help, i can't imagine myself trying to time a run from a .mpg, i'd get a different result each time.

Can you trust a video playing speed after compression ? (i wouldn't say so...)

Was it same spot, deck, set-up, ... as your previous 3.28 ?

Etienne de Bary

thank you Guillaume (the php system of Riderz has been updated)

Etienne de Bary

Won't you try it as is ?

Would you do a race in it, it's a rare opportunity, isn't it ?

Austria sounds good, ... easy to reach by train/plane ?

It has to be a place where there are organisers with big events experience.

Of course if everybody wants to do it in Paris, we'd be very proud. i'm sure Pierre-Yves will completely agree.

Etienne de Bary

What about Switzerland ? Wouldn't it make sense to invite the US top crew in the other skateboard-addict country, the United States of Helvetia ? It would make sense as it's the only country in the world where slalom skating NEVER went out of fashion (and therefore a disproportionate share of the be...

The idea is: not race that were Euro Championship nor World Championship in 2004 and 2005, is it ?

non symmetrical trucks riding is a totally underexplored issue

bushings matter more than anything else i agree, and wedges too. Try big bushing rear, narrow bushings front. Then comes front truck.
spending big money on the deck is a waste

A while ago i made a post on a british forum saying we should do a parisian delegation to an english race. i Asked just where i should go after coming down from the train in London. i had 3 or 4 enthusiast answers, saying "- OK, you just take the [M5 or A5 (a highway)] for 20 mn."... i don't skate v...

i'm sure it exists here, i used to do press ads with this products for a boat parts importer, i did not know what it was for though

thanx for the tip

hi, i'm now a deep hooked fan of the Radikal Claw, i use it every day with no rain with 2 red bushings and it instantly improved my level quite a bit. :D However i realised that i have to rescrew the kingpin after each session. it's not a big problem, it was the same with the old Seismics: one has t...

I think the Pro Class and the Open Class times are a little misleading. The Pro's cones are at 2.0 meters on center and the Open's are at 2.5 meters. it's 2.00m and 2.40m. it's very different however, and parisian ams actually usually train in the 2.00m traces. This 2.40m thing is supposed to be we...

it's been raining over Paris all morning, but now the ground is drying, forecasts for the afternoon are good. There's a french expression: "passer entre les gouttes" means one is smart or lucky enough to (go under the rain and "pass between the drops") get things done while prospects were bad with t...

a decks brand has just decided to form a second slalom rookies team, racers Laurent Giraudon and Patrick Allan (see them in .mpg film Rookies' Playground).

Yes Mathias, if you see the schedule you will notice there is time for that every morning,... but is there a numerus closus in amateur men category, that is a question i haven't found an answer to.

Good to see you back longskating the real world

Etienne de Bary

As pro you do not have to worry about numerus closus or whatever, you could sign in right before the races. it's a bit cheaper though if you do it before, if i remember. The schedule is indicative: it can be modified if there is risks of rain. The slide contest would start immediately if the tracks ...

As one of the principal players behind the slalom movement over the last five years, I find it interesting to not be included in any ISSA meetings, conferences or email groups. The 2006 World Championships are to be held on the hill of St Germain, in Brittany, this race is in 2005 a SuperGiant and ...

There is a lot of diplomacy as americans have a strong owning feeling for the sport, as Morro Bay existed before, and as it ends the season. However Morro bay is not a very big event, and it does host only a few foreign racers.

all-caps is like shouting at who's reading, in your post using italics for "of" would have been correct, bold do good too. Italics goes for what's underlined in a manuscript.
You're not so much on the top of the pyramid.

besides that, etienne, look at the paris website,before you start to demand anything at this moment. i don't want to attack you personnally,just stating the facts. Well i have nothing to do with PSWC website, that's one fact, and once you get to Paris, that's it, you take whatever metro, bus or cab...

is there anyone of you locals whom can give information on the courses and the schedule. hey Peter, thanx for your message...

Brands Hatch is in South East London, near Dartford, nearest town Swanley. It is just off of the M25 and about half way between Gatwick and Stanstead airports.

What actually happened is: i confirmed that Wes' comment looked also quite as valid from a different point of view, and you tell me "- it is forbidden to view from your point, since you are a bad person."

i'm afraid Wes is right, John: your description of "living like kings" is actually the present economic strategy of your government.
