slalomers' paradise too... However acceleration in a ramp results of a multiplication of the weight, and friction is about constant, which means if a 80kg person take a speed resulting of a X cynetic value minus a Y value of friction, a 40kg person will take half of X, still minus about Y of frictio...

As i was a beginner myself, 8) i always insisted that we do the thursday sessions on EASY spots. i'm always hooking passerbies, those who look happy at seeing us: "- want to try ?", and i suppose i'm not too bad at showing how to push for the first time. Even old people, they say "- Oh no, really, i...

Switzerland are up in the mountains and not even in the Euorpean Community but I never hear them talking about how different they are. Compared to some other swiss, most swiss will find us quite common. Though they built a European community of countries 3 and 4 centuries ago, and they even share t...

Just wanted to point that this idea that skateboarding is just a dangerous way to waste time is so heavily dominant that even hi skilled mature skaters, people who ride and enjoy riding for decades, will assume it when it comes to their own family. There might be a cost to changing this, if one care...

What is remarquable is that the Manx has identically straight lips on both sides (the edge is even more acute on the normally inside when new). The 3dm wheels have very agressive lips on the outside but it is 45° rounded in the inside, so if you put it inside out you get a very progressive behaviour...

I am not considering the complains as so, nor their legitimacy. i am using the complains as a tool.

By the level of their demand...

After a season of racing, it comes to a point where it seems that we have to reconsider which events are main and which is major.
