Well, that would suck for me if the race that I'm helping ORGANIZE becomes a prime, I won't be able to race because I've never been to an ISSA race before, and I'm not about to jump on a plane to go to a basic so I can race a prime in my backyard, that's ass backwards. I see your point, I just think...

Zach, I may be the biggest dick in this sport :-) To be complete though, not every rider I've questioned got turned down. Some got coaching and then rode. Others got equipment loans. The few people I have turned away were invited to participate in other races the same day. IMO it is whats best for ...

Joyce hit a car? nice. Injuries happen in sports, I'm sure there is something in the waiver at every race saying that if for any reason the organizer, affiliated staff or volunteers, or empowered official feels you aren't taking proper safety precautions, are using broken or hazardous equipment, or ...

wanna try again?

Im new to slalom, I like this idea.

As for ignoring this thread... why would I do that when there are such great posts. I think this shitstorm should be celebrated, it gives the impression you guys have a pulse...

Cheers!

GO RAMÓN!!! KING KÖNIGSHAUSEN!!!

Ramon, You're still in Canada? I thought you were joining the Army? Oh, wait. Now I see the connection . . . :-) That one made me giggle... There's a nice road by my house, and I was thinking of distributing a "media package" to the residents explaining our plight, and asking if they would have a p...

Thanks Wesley! Now I just have to wait for that axle.. it's the first sun we've had in weeks and I'm itching to skate... I guess it just won't be slalom.

No I haven't, I'm a bit foggy about the proccess... something about getting a metric nut without a nylon lock, tightening it in and then using the torque to back out the axle. I'm just praying it backs out... yikes. In the meantime I'm going to put it to use coning my hotspots!

I should also say that the axle would have bent under the weight of the car regardless of any other circumstance and that Ramón was quick to help me out by piggybacking some axles on an order he had going through. In fact I'm suprised it wasn't bent way more.

Airflow gets a huge thumbs up from me!

That's hillarious Wesley, Justin and I were saying later on that night we wished Keith was there...

Great site, Michael. Very clearly explains the product in a way I wasn't understanding from previous discussions on here. All websites should be this succinct!

I didn't get to run the course that was set-up after travelling almost out of the city to skate after a long day of work because, just as I get there and start skating up the street, some douchebag sprayed all our cones with his riced up mazda douche-coupe... THREE TIMES. Claiming the lives of 4 or ...

Hey everyone, shot down some stims on ebay and it turns out they're of the harder kind. Long shot, but does anyone wants to trade for a soft one(s)?

Cheers!
