XR3000 at the Shamrock Outlaw Slalom

I used my XR3000 for the Dublin Outlaw race yesterday and it performed flawlessly for 6+ hours. The batteries appear to have plenty of juice left. I highly recommend this timer....um, that's all for now.

When I was riding standard trucks, for tight slalom I heavily wedged my front truck and slightly de-wedged the rear truck.

Stanziale told you right.....EXPERIMENT till you find what works best for you.

I assume you do understand what purpose wedging and dewedging serves?

Yes, absolutely. Erin Office Park is about 1 mile from Fred's. It would be good for duels. But honestly, it just doesn't have the appeal Fred's does. The surface is a little rougher, speeds are slower, and the runout can be gnarly. Actually, I'd like to run duels at Fred's like you, Ron, and I did. ...
