Have fun Don!

We will have TS, HS and Special. I am plannign on start working on the courses from this coming Saturday on. Please fell free...

I have seen many of those arches "running out of air" but never heard of one causing any damage in slalom races. Most of the time they fall down really slowly as the air goes out (after the ventilator is hit by a powerfailure, or otherwise stopped). Should we really worry about it? As it looks real...

After reading about a prominent racer going down and seeing the video of skiers going down because of one collapsing I had some reservations about these things. But, at a race weekend I attended recently one of these things deflated only a few minutes after I asked one of the organisers if it would ...

No f#$%king way! This is a very interesting, constructive and well thought opinion...about what? I can understand, read the same announcement on another form. 'We will be rocking Amsterdam again. I do think we can have a NL champion this year, so this is THE YEAR!! ' (longboarden.nl) I failed to se...

No f#$%king way!

The weather will be nice and sunny this coming Saturday. So let's go skating. Nothing better than going to school on a Saturday morning, isn't it? From 9 AM till 12 PM. See you there! Why will you not attend the race at Hog Hill dude? It seems to be right up your ally...... Come on over and race du...

Totally awesome!

It's a beauty!

Thanks Cyril and Wouter!

Had a cool afternoon of slalom in Hoofddorp.
A little cold, especially if you're a dork like me wearing shorts.......but positive because of the two kids now interested in learning and who will probably join Flavio in Amsterdam April 4th!


CU guy's soon

Martijn

Saturday looks OK in the morning.......... I need to help a friend move some rental gear in the morning but look forward to some wiggling afterwords. Lets hope the forecast is more reliable than last Sunday, one rider had 1,5 runs and that was it................ No chance of riding safely Flavio, ar...

I say old chaps, Weather permitting, I look forward to a bit of slalom skateboarding Sunday next. The meteorological forecasts look just fine for now....... lets hope they stay that way. I'll be on "the Bult" in the city of Leiden around eleven hundred hours, once again, weather permitting. Anyone e...

Bleaching might help avoid the lawmakers?!

Looking good!

I saw your deck in Dusseldorf last weekend, it looks even better "all dressed up"!
And euhm, tight and pink, I like 'm that way, hahahaha.

last thing I want to emphasise is that other governing body's like the FIS, would never, and I mean never, accept the kind of childish complaining as I've seen at the Euro's!

Martijn

As it is, it's probably the most prestigious race ever held in the country!
Please be aware of the fact that we, the Dutch, are proud of that and would gladly
improve on this, what ever the status!

Martijn

I was proud to see such an event take place in the Netherlands and it had a great impact as stated! But, I'm disappointed at the "level" of the response! Yes it could have been and should have been better but, and I mean but, it does not deserve the feedback that it was given!!!!!!! Be positive and ...

What I think is: When you get to race against a representative field of racers you should always be thankful! When you come to a race you should thank the organisers for taking the trouble to organise it! When you have a complaint, bring it in a positive way as an improvement for next year. When you...

To be completely honest, One of the more negative things that stuck after the "Euro's" in Amsterdam was the input from the pro's that a certain country (?!) always and everywhere complains to and hassles the organisers about the courses etc. It seems to irritate the majority of racers as I was able ...

Sounds spectacular Ramon!
Count me in!

Martijn

But, dear Pat, This thread had nothing to do with what happend at the MHFOS! It was related to something that occurred in France..... Please lets be as accurate as one can in these kind of cases, this thread has nothing whatsoever to do with what took place in Maryhill!!!!!!!! Martijn Well, there w...

Here are (at last) my pictures for the event ! http://js.d.free.fr/Photos/080816-Amsterdam/ The atmosphere was quite good all the week-end, except some thight moments about the timing system or the planning... That was the good point of this event, it remembered me a lot of GOG outlaw races that we...

Sounds more constructive and less emotional from the perspective of the organiser....

If Big Mac in tennis would have been sanctioned in accordance with what is being uttered here, he would have had a very short career. Give the guy a break and accept that young racers will sometimes be a bit over emotional! If I were to have been banned for every time I got over emotional on a forum...

Hmmmm, to be shure, were any sold in the Netherlands?

Don, could you post a pic of the board in question, it would help to hunt it down!!!!!


Martijn

This must be a joke, your deck got stolen at the Euro's?!
Ok, it's a free for all!!

I'de like to "talk" to the MF involved!

Martijn

Thanks Earl, tried both options and works out like you said.
I wanted to be able to give more input and get a "beefier" feel.
Change the bushings, not the angles, thanks again!

Martijn

Question, When wanting to make the truck more or less turny, in what sequence would you go to work on it? Do you try a different bushing first or change the angle of the hanger in relation to the baseplate. Will going from a white to an orange khiro and going back 3 degrees in angle cancel each othe...

Hello everybody. My name is Martijn am 40 years young and live in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Last weekend I went to the Euro's in Amsterdam and had the pleasure of meeting the riders there and seeing for myself what an amazing sport this is. I turned up wanting to ride just the GS because I was s...

Flavio,

To start with, thanks for a great weekend!

Secondly, you mentioned yesterday that video of the competition would come available on-line, can you say anything with regard to the timing (when can we expect it) and the location (Where can we find it) of this video?
