Hi Guys,
The special introductory offer on the Gecko's ends at midnight, so if you were thinking of getting one, it makes sense to do it before the price goes up (to a more realistic price for what it is...)!

Happy Easter!
Take care,
Martin.

240 million and counting...
Just got the GWR Show DVD from China...Looks pretty cool. It was a featured record on the show and the only one that they showed in two sections. A mere 240 million more people now know what skateboard slalom is! Here are a couple of screenshots; http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2411/2347570836_97230c...

You're good Rick, don't worry!
As for snowboards....Hmmmm...Lets get him to build some GS/Hybrid decks first, maybe a few DH boards and some Longboards....then, if he has any money left, I say "Hell Yeah!"

No. Why? Because these sports recognize the impossibility of an absolute standard from course-to-course...

I think the idea of cone penalties complicates matters far too much. Keep it simple, clean runs only, even on the 100. If you can't do that, you're not WR material. Otherwise, it's just a matter of finding the steepest hill and plowing all the cones. Age group records, it's fine for us to track the...

As some of you may know, Jeff wasn't completely happy with a couple of things on the pre-production version that he knew he could change. To make these alterations would basically leave him with three options, as they would cost him more to build them and therefore force the price up: 1.Cut his loss...
