Hey Don, thanx for the offer, (i hadn't read it all yesterday...)Donald Campbell wrote:another one-this time without any bad thoughts.
etienne:you come to the next G.O.G. and you will learn-privately-how to go down a ramp,i will tune your deck(you know it needs some tuning),you get a free place to stay and you might enjoy the weekend.
I don't think i'm quite as ridiculous in tuning as in competing, particularly i enjoyed some teaching from Vlad Popov in the past and i do more mounting and testing than anybody else around, but i'll be very happy to listen to your advices.
Thanx Ramon too.
Don, do you plan to report the #3, and climactic, Triple Crown race ?
However i'd wear all possible protections during this session, as i was too frustrated being unable to resume my first ever ramp training session in Antibes, after logically hardly crashing at first attempt (this ramp was actually not the ideal one for a first try); so please keep the sarcasms.
This protecs bashing thing is really ridiculous Don, please use some other insulting matter, even national stereotypes are better, sexual tastes usually simply fit, as one is free to imagine them at will...

"Etienne has skated so hard this winter THAT..."
OK, so there's room for a 'stewards enquiry,' but that sentence wouldn't guarantee entry into anything but the new improved colloquial Akademee Onglaiz. It is the equivalent of clipping a cone on a hundred-turn-shootout.
And (what? starting with a conjunction?) whilst you're doing a bit of grammatic moderation, give this a whirl: http://eatsshootsandleaves.com/ESLquiz.html
But then again, Jonathan Harm's can out-librarian me.
Or did I mean skate?

here's the lowdown on etienne so far.
we had a little conversation behind the scenes,pm-action.
etienne is likely to come to the 3rd G.O.G. and when he leaves,he will go down any ramp.
we will do a private session without anybody present and after that....voila....
i think that etienne will stick to his word and i also think he'll go home with a big smile on his face.
i will personnally make sure that he overcomes his blockade and has fun going down a ramp.
there are a few other people i know who had the same problem.but it's cool when you have friends with portable ramps around.some assistance and there you go.
don't bash on him now,i think he really wants to do something.
and if he does so,show some respect.
i would appreciate that.
thanks so far,etienne,for trusting me and showing interest.
you won't be disappointed.

Nice attempt, Donald.
So, I would say:
slalomskateboarding is alive.

The art of ellipsis a favourite among slalomers
Prosaic pro slalomers have a right to ellipsis in their prose.Sam Gordon wrote:"Etienne has skated so hard this winter THAT..."
For as we all know: Often the effect of ellipsis is no more than to suggest a closer connection between the content of the clauses, but sometimes the effect is to indicate that there is a combined process rather than two seperate processes.
Am I right?
jean paul aka POPOL:
"I was born yesterday...
but I stayed up all night!"
