Way to go man...stick it to 'em.

so far my experience with them can be summed up in two words...Direct Drive...

I'm over this conversation...see you at the Worlds...in the starting gates.

Hans, I think you missed my point...I think short races are fine, just not World class races. If you re-read my post I think you might have a better idea of where I'm coming from and what the point is I'm trying to make.

I'm not sure about the spacing for 5-6 cones a second, but I run 69mm wheels on 5' offsets no problem. It's a matter of truck tension. Wheel size should be unregulated. That thing with the air filled tires on it isn't a skateboard. To me, the only limitation we should have is a skateboard and perhap...

I wasn't talking about reaction times...far from it. What I was talking about on the other site was the fact that in a short race ie) approx 9 second race, it'll most likely be decided in the start. If I drop down the ramp in the final and my competitor has a jump on me, it'll be virtually impossibl...

I can't figure this damn posting pictures out. I guess I'm just a lame ass.

How do you post a photo?

Hey Wesley, I read the brochure....top notch buddy. Hey I don't know if anyone mentioned it or not, but how about some kind of newletter sign up or something? Something to let interested people get something in the mail explaining whats the latest news in the sport. Who knows, maybe there are some p...

You don't need washers on the GS/Hbrid or GS/Hybrid XL. Get some phillips head hardware with the largest heads you can find. Those will suffice.

wesley, those boards are a little pistol, a little ick, a little roe and all turner. there's some special stuff going on in there. at this point i'm not disclosing anything. also, bear in mind those are only protos...we don't know what/how the production models will come out or how much dinero they ...

Maria, I hate bug you, I know you're gonna do it...I'm anxious to see some pictures. I saw some on Yunkerphoto.com that look really good. And thanks again for a fun race.

I can't really explain it, but what I can tell you is in the offsets at the top of the course where many people were losing speed...I was gaining it. I could stick and hug right up next to them. I also changed rear riser configurations prior to the morning of the race. I assume the combination of ri...

Holy Cow!!! There's only a few tenths of a second separating the top few places. What a day that was.

As of March 1, Turner has decided to part ways with Howard Gordon. Turner Downhill will be returning to it’s roots as Turner SummerSki. We are resurrecting the hand-made products that carved out our place in history and in the industry. Visit our new web site and make sure to sign the forum sectio...

Tracker Trucks Rule

I like your idea John. Sounds like everyone would get a fair shake as well as get to race someone different than usual. I don't know if this only happened to me or if it happened to everyone, but I almost always got the same people in the lower rounds leading to the finals. Your system looks as thou...

I'm doing this thing on New Years Day and I'm going to break the "record."

Let's race!

True, the method I mentioned only works if you skate alone and hit few cones. Permanently marking a course can be a good bench mark for gauging progress, if used with a timer. Those who know me well, know I don't like to get too caught up in course setting or technical stuff...I just drop cones and ...

In my opinion, when you mark a course you're wasting valuable skating time. When I skate tight slalom or any slalom, but mostly tight, I almost always do it alone and never use anything to mark the course. I simply throw down some cones and if I hit any, I just reset them where ever looks right or m...
