Go BTS!

How dope is the timer Steve?! Made by a killer slalomer for slalomers.

you can't start the 'Axe Army' without expecting another manufacturer to start their own thing for fun... Just as the Axe Army is there for camaraderie and building the scene, so is the Skaterbuilt Mafia, or any other informal club/org for that matter. Slalom is too small to take this stuff so serio...

hey patrick.

check the 'coneheads' thread on http://www.charliedontskate.com/ for info on sessions in Melbourne. Things have been pretty quiet down there on the slalom front but they are just starting to get into it. They have a great bowl-riding scene there if you are into that.

I love the TrakMate! After the initial hassles setting it up with wires and connecting the whole thing (which thank god my good mate Bugs took charge of) the TrakMate has been pure pleasure to use. We've already had three races with the timer here in Sydney, Oz, and are looking forward to having hea...

I got two SB's in the mail today, a CK TS and Hybrid. They look great, and I've been walking back and forth to the living room to stand on the boards on the carpet all afternoon, just loving the concave and the way the tail cradles the back foot. Now it's time to get them set up and ready to ride......

Thanks a lot for the info guys.

I'm looking forward to slaloming with a timer - what a novelty!

Following up on WT's post, I'm putting together a TrakMate down here in Oz. Finally we'll have some timed races! I had the same questions as WT regarding the tapeswitches. But my other question is in regard to the wire cable you use between the tapestrips and the timer. What sort of cable do you use...

yep, that is one rad board.

what's the wheelbase on it?

so when the hell are you gonna come back over to Oz with a suitcase full of roadsters for us??!!

Good luck in Morro, boss!

Just got my XFire S-Camber last week. It only took about 9-10 days shipping from the USA to Australia, super quick. I set it up with a TTC in the back, no wedge, and a wedged RTX in the front, and Av's. Took it out for a spin on Monday on the local netball courts, flat super smooth surface. What a g...

Pelle, i can't get to stockholm in time to make the friday flight... the only way i can do it is to get a flight out of oslo on friday, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed for some lower last minute fares next week. as it is now, they are all too much... anyhow, hope i make it and meet you and everyon...

Yes! i will definitely fly stockholm - frankfurt if pelle is going that way. pelle: what flights are you taking to and from frankfurt? the best options seem to be friday 9:05, which gets you in at frankfurt at 11:15. then we could rent a car and zoom on down the autobahn to zurich. coming back monda...

hey pelle! sorry i've been out in the boonies (fishing and relaxing) for a while, finally back at a computer. i just checked flights to frankfurt. one way on ryanair on friday 19th is 1600 kr!! its a little out of my league... tomorrow i will call some travel agents to see if anything is possible. i...

Hans & Pelle, Just checked they ryan air flights from oslo to frankfurt, unfortunately they aren't cheap... should have booked these tix a month ago, it would've been better. anyhow. i'll keep checking the flights, maybe they'll cheapen up. the train's crap, takes all day and sets you back a craploa...

Hey Hans!
We should definitely put together a weekend of slaloming this summer, that'd be great fun. I haven't quite figured out if anyone here in norway is riding any slalom yet, we shall see... Good luck in switzerland. i'm not sure i'll make it down from here, the flights get a bit pricey...

Halloen Svenske Venner! I'm in Oslo for the summer and would very much like to make it to switzerland for the comp june 21-22. but getting there from here is a bitch. is anyone driving down from sweden? i'd be happy to split gas and food costs, i have a tent and a stove so camping's no worry. i was ...

What's up DC? I'm in London now, have just begun a series of travels that will last till august. I've met many of you in DC and at da Farm last year, banked slalom in brooklyn. up until last week, i lived in nyc. but now i'm on the move, planned final destination being australia... anyhoot, just wan...

Wow! just checked out the video of Richy Carrasco doing 360's, that's insane! How does he maintain the momentum to keep going? Doesn't he succumb to dizziness? i never fully understood how figure skaters managed to spin around for so long without going wobbly, my head's loopy after only a couple of ...

Bummer about the weather. i was looking forward to riding a slalom course again, it's been a while... Don't think i can make it next weekend. I'll catch you all in the new year! i'm bringing my board and some cones back to norway for christmas, introduce some norskies to the joys of slalom! peace, h...
