Do the trees have to have leaves on them to aid in wind reduction??? 'Cause either my pitot tube is whacked, or the weather guy is wrong!!!

Do yourself and your board a favor!!! Nix the voided risers and take something solid and drill 4 holes in it/them to make the contact more secure!!!

Clear and Red!!!!

In slalom , I think the fine thread and long unthreaded section is more key than grade 5 vs. 8 I've used 5's and 8's for over 25 years and never sheared or bent either!!

Now Wes.. isn't that what I said originally?? My term "Alter" was refering to drilling /punching/boring holes in a new school wedge to fit dem ACS's!!! The only difference is ..I'd do mine in the comfort of my shop or home...you'd do your's at the starting line, or in your hotel room at 2:00 a.m bef...

Rumor has it H.J is only riding his closet of the summer fashions! It's time to re-wardrobe for a new look to match the black pumps and feaux sable stole!

It was easy..just my reaction time was delayed!
Did you get squared away w/ Red Bull?
As my 9th grade Russian teacher repeatidly said...(translation) keep your tongue behind your teeth!!

Jose's response (oops, I mean Joe's) That doesn't label me as a racist,does it? This is a great forum to vent/bicker/call-out and lastely have fun!! w/o cluttering up the other threads w dribble and spit. In this time of year (goin' into single digits tonite) after spring like 60's skiing, the keybo...

You guyz just don't know how many times I've bitten my tongue recently!! It's a wayz off, but the winner of the duel gets free entry to M.S.S.S '04 a free R-2 trip (that's a raft trip w/ only 2 people "me and he" in a VERY high performance shredder) and the choice of killer swag!!! Upwards of a 500....

Myself, I prefer wood to anything! I make my own from Mahogany..
Tony Gale???? Are you my bruddah?

Seth,
I would alter a normal patterned wedge..even cut it down a bit. You won't find any cheaper(if at all than the ones you've found.)

I think Tommy Ryan's Turner "open faced" was considered in the same species!! And can't remember who "piloted "Free formers" entry'

I sent Hugh R several pics a few years back, he had them on his site!! If I'm not mistaken Hester/ Grundy/Hitchcock/Dilberg and several more were "face first" Nick Leonard's was "feet first" The main stipulation was that leaning was the means of steering..Bad H would be the one to ask on the rules t...

I gotta resolve to stay un-hurt so that I can remain happily employed and accomplish Rick S's resolutions!!

I had Eric cut down and off-set a Randal for me a few years back..It turned out to be a wickedly turny truck. I have recently sent off a box of RTX/TTC for him to put his magic to! True 8mm axles make the difference that nothing else can!! Wes E hit it on the mark re: loads Do yourself a favor,and m...

I started slaloming around 76 Was all I cared to do (other then occasional freestyle/high jump ) I never stopped all together and have kept most of my 70's equiptment and run cones every so often, since 2001 I run cones at a much more frequent level. I'm always too banged up from my real job to comp...

Leo you're close(to the name) It was a great place and value w/ all needs a skates away! GBJ showed us how to get to it(it's close to his house)

My daughter uses a Response w/ indy 101's and a no-name needle nose knock off w/ ton's of camber(it's her favorite) My choice on bushings will be the Radikal clears as soon as I get more of them for her boards!!

Could you please clarify??

Vlad,
Out of curiousity, what were the differentials in your system and trakmates at recent races??
Dave G

Jani,
While it's probably common knowledge. Next years race is Oct 17 2004 Fayetteville "WEST" Virginia. Not to be confused w/ Virginia (We've been on our own for 139 years now!!)

Enjoy,
And hope to see ya' all there.

I still like/respect Ingmar Stenmark's style and longevity..And yes he slalom skateboards too!!!

Vlad, You silly little man!! I just read that, and it is certainly because I believe in races being held for racers that want to race!!

Now I'm confused!!
Hey the video is almost finished!! It looks great! Actually it will be done in .00001 seconds

I am not real savy on this site..YET. But thought I'd pop over and try to see what's up.. I'm a bit miffed that the virus has spread! Do like your momma tought you, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything"
Ya'll enjoy now,
Ya' hear?
Dave G

Dan,
I was banking on you to get those baseplate swaps!!! Sorry, I realized it 1/2 way home!

uhhh.. Did I say "Tight Salom?" I meant 6' on center. If the hill will do it so It shall be Dunn

Hey!!! It's kinda fun in here!!! I'm off to the town to see about how many cones I can lay down for the tight slalom.. I'm thinkin' 'bout 70 or so
Ready 321 GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm new to this forum..
But will defend the racers elective to race in the rain!
