I'm sitting here looking over at 3 Roe slalom boards, and one Insect. These are all top quality, beautiful, amazing boards. I'm proud to have them. Additionally, Gareth Roe is one of nicest, most selfless guys you'll ever meet. Congrats to Gareth and Steve, and I wish you continued success in the fu...

a couple of latches on the side of the ramp to connect the S-curve to the platform section. Groveling under the ramp to bolt the sections together is kind of a drag. Use Dzus fasteners. 1/4 turn latches. Strong enough to keep the hood on a Funny Car at 300+ MPH. Definitely strong enough to keep tho...

Exactly. 500's are not exactly the creme de la creme of the slalom world, and never were.

When I think of a TS board, I think of the Hollien. As it just happens, I've got one right here! Yep, perfect tight board.

As far as toe stops, I've seen a lot of these lately:

I wrote that, Glenn.

Barry, you need Evel Knievel trucks, apparently.

My understanding is that the Radikal bushings have an exact heigth of 9/16". Could anyone here tell us the OD measurement of the Radikal bushings?

Radikal bushings are indeed 9/16" high, with an OD of 1 1/8".

You can fit a LOT of skates (like 10) in the Independent duffel bag. The Alva skate bag comes in 34" and 36" lengths, and is large enough to fit two completes, or one complete and all your gear. http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/Stuff/Bags/alvabag.jpg The Pig wheels bag is in-between the two sizes. ...

I wanted to see skatecars, too.

Here's more pix of Jack in the Vetter skatecar.

Let me begin by saying Jack Smith has done amazing things for skateboarding. I am proud to call him my friend. FCR has acted as an organizer and promotional organization up until now. I believe their mission should change, to act as a standardizing and sanctioning organization. That way the momentum...

Barry - that's a Bahne Black Hill. Yes, they sell for $119 with Tracker B-2 FulTracks and Cadillac, Turner, 3dm, or Fast wheels. These boards are great! You have a choice of 6-ply, if you are less than 150 pounds, or 7-ply, if you weigh more than that. They sell for $129 with the Tracker RT-X/RT-S c...

That's Olson's board. Methinks those are Bennett Hijackers or Pros with some unknown (to me) baseplate. 3dm wheels, of course.

I didn't know that 9' wide trucks existed. But Señor X has fixed two sets of Randal 180's for me, and I believe those have 10" axles.

Try www.sk8supply.com

Look under 'vintage items'.

Monkeywrench has done several sets of trucks for me. Their work is impeccable. Once you go 8mm, you'll never settle for a stock bent 5/16" axle again.

Black are harder than white. At that's what they Buddy and Linda told me last week. How much harder, I dunno.

Gary - it works in Explorer 5.X, but not in Safari (based on Mozilla open-source).

Glenn - You're NOT using straight HTML. Your source code is Windows-centric. Here is your problem (taken from your source code): FRAME NAME="image" SRC="page\image1.html" Only Windows uses a backslash for anything. Try using a forward slash "/" instead and it should work for all users, not just thos...

Adam - Banners made from DuPont Tyvek are quite a bit cheaper than vinyl, lighter (can be stuffed in a poster tube), and extremely durable. Your biggest cost is setup, so I'll look into the cost of singles and multiples. Almost all of the manufacturers here have stickers; perhaps they can advise you...

The Black Hill now comes in 6-ply (New!) and 7-ply (original) flavors. It also now comes double-drilled at both ends for multiple wheelbases. The Bahne Black Hill measures 29.25" long by 8.375" wide at its widest point. It comes drilled for an old-school pattern truck, which is really any truck you'...

Vlad - Bahne sells a Black Hill complete with both RT-X/RT-S and Seismic 110/RT-S on their website. The price is US$119. The wheels have changed from the 74a Turner La Costas to the 78a Cadillac Redlines, as well. These boards should also be available from shops and distributors worldwide in due time.
