Eric Moore

Hey Michael, I tried to send you guys an email after I saw the article in the paper, but it bounced back. I'd like to check out one of your board meetings sometime. I also wanted to give you guys a heads up on slalom/longboard sessions that have been going on almost every weekend in Golden, as well ...

Eric Moore

Does it have bearings in all the same places as a Radikal? The kingpin looks fixed in there, so if there is a bearing between the bushings, how do you swap the bottom bushing?

Eric Moore

Yeah, I try to use the older indy baseplates too, but only have so many of them. If anybody knows how to swap kingpins in the new indy baseplates, post it up!

Eric Moore

Nope, you rode my 32.

Eric Moore

On the block is a rare prototype Pocket Pistol. Build date is 5/03, #123, and is labeled "STS Proto #3". Specs: Length 28.5" Width 8.375" Hole-to-hole 17.5" or 18.5" Flex is stiff for my 180 lbs. This deck is used but has been well cared for and is in excellent condition. See pictures below. I've fi...

Eric Moore

Man, Frank, I think I remember saying I did NOT want to see that picture on the internet! Oh, well, I guess it was bound to happen. Huge thanks to gOAd, JBH, all the Daggers, Mary and Ellen, coneheads, and everybody who raced or even just spectated for a killer weekend! Jonathan, thanks again for yo...

Eric Moore

Well I finally made it back home last night after ten days of travel. I had a blast skating the park and ride with everybody who came out! It was great to see some old friends again and meet some new ones. A big thanks to everybody who came out and skated, plus a couple special thanks: JD, thanks ag...

Eric Moore

Sounds cool! I'm down for anything. I've got a room at the Hyatt downtown, so I'll head there from the airport to check in, and I'll call you either from the hotel or while in transit. If you want to get a hold of me, my cell is seven-two-zero-nine-three-five-nine-one-seven-one.

Eric Moore

Nope, the hardest Avila is 88a, which is purple. (Avila colors are two duro points lower than Avalons/Cambrias of the same color.) Avalons and Cambrias both come in black, which is indeed 94a.

Eric Moore

Right on, John. I can't wait for a sesh at the good ol' park & ride. I'll give you a call when I get in Saturday afternoon.

Eric Moore

This Sunday, May 22.

Where's the session at?

I'll be in town ready to skate!

Eric Moore

Another thing that I really like about the split-fire DS compared to the Radikal are the axles. I run a front Radikal and I love it, but it annoys the hell out me that the outer bearing is riding partially on the threaded part of the axle. Also I'm always paranoid that an axle is going to back out s...

Eric Moore

I was just looking at the points for the Red Clay Cup at www.slalomranking.com and I noticed that points for 17th in the GS and and 25th in the Special went to Manuel Schaub (SUI), when they actually belong to Marty Schaub (USA). Red Clay was Marty's first race under the current point system, I beli...

Eric Moore

I would recommend getting a splitfire DS (as opposed to the original splitfire). In my opinion this is the most versatile truck on the market due to the fact that it fits with any Randal baseplate. I run it in the rear with a 35 degree Randal baseplate, and this setup gives more traction than the TT...

Eric Moore

I'm in.

Eric Moore

YEAH PHILTHY!!!!!

Eric Moore

Obviously there is no substitute for talent. But unfortunately I haven't found an online shop that carries that yet. For anybody to get faster, by far the most important thing is to spend as much time skating as possible. Getting the right gear helps too, but is secondary to practice. Chris, of cour...

Eric Moore

I rode my foam core pocket pistol with stock trackers for about a year and a half before finally upgrading to Radikal front/Splitfire back. Before I got this deck I was riding a Comet slalom deck with the same trackers, and I definitely noticed a difference when I switched to the foam core. Earlier ...

Eric Moore

Turns out I will have a supply of trimmed Avalons and Avilas with me this weekend at the Northern Colorado race in Windsor. Come find me if you need wheels.

Eric Moore

Jonathan's post up top says SLALOM RACE ON MAY 29, 2005... and according to my calendar the 29th is a Sunday. Jonathan, Jeff, somebody, can we get an updated race schedule so people can plan their travel? I'll be in town Friday night until Monday, so I'll be ready to race either day, or bette...

Eric Moore

St. Louis is a race that I've meant to get to for the past couple years, and every year something has come up and I didn't make it. Not this year......My flight is booked! Ok, so now that I've committed myself, what's the real low-down? I saw Jonathan's post above about racing on Sunday, but is ther...

Eric Moore

Flight is booked. I'm arriving into BWI at 4:00 pm on Saturday the 21st.

I'm looking forward to a DC session (race?) on Sunday, and it looks like I'll be hitting the St. Louis race on the way home!

Eric Moore

My buddy in Chi-town is getting married on 7/23...maybe I can hit the TS in the morning before the service!

Will this be a one-day event, or is racing planned for Sunday too?

Eric Moore

I wish!

Eric Moore

Eric Moore

Cool. Sounds like there are plenty of options for getting back and forth. I don't want to be stuck in one city when I want to be in the other. John, thanks for the offer to crash at your place. I should have a hotel room in Baltimore Saturday night, but if it makes getting to a Sunday slalom session...

Eric Moore

Cool, guys. I'm looking forward to it. My ticket still isn't booked due to annoying university beauracracy, but it in all likelihood I'll be flying in to BWI. I expect they will put me up Saturday night, as the conference officially starts on Sunday, but there's nothing I'm interested in attending u...

Eric Moore

How 'bout an event on Sunday May 22 when I'll be town?

Eric Moore

It looks like I'll be coming out on Saturday May 21. You going to be around that weekend John? Are you in the Baltimore area, or are you closer to DC? I haven't booked the flight yet, so I might be able to get in early enough on Saturday to skate that afternoon, but a Sunday session might be the bes...

Eric Moore

She's a beauty!

Since typically downhill decks have very little flex, what is the benefit of a foam core deck for downhill? Is lightweight an advantage for downhill?

Why the different core widths front and rear?

Eric Moore

I just listed another set.

Click <a href=http://stores.ebay.com/GetFast-Skate-Ge ... efid=store> here</a> to check 'em out.

Eric Moore

Hey guys! I'm coming out to Baltimore for a conference the week of May 23, and I was thinking about tacking a weekend on to the front or back of the trip for a chance to skate some cones with my DC brethren, just like old times. Anybody going to be around and wanna skate? Which weekend would be bett...

Eric Moore

Check out my new eBay store, where you'll find Cambrias, Avalons, and Avilas by the pair in all colors/duros at great prices, as well as discounted race kits for all you racers who want to be ready for any course under any conditions. I'm currently listing 12-wheel Cambria, Avalon, and mixed kits an...

Eric Moore

Ok, we've gotta stop calling this truck the "front split". I picked up a DS107 hangar from Wax out on the hill today. I didn't have an RII baseplate with me, but I did have a 35 degree Randal DH baseplate. I had been thinking this combo could make a good rear truck, so today I put it through the pac...

Eric Moore

Well I for one am stoked that you've got yourself a sector 9. The board is definitely legal for competetion, it is just a matter of whether or not you can put it through the cones. You may find that a shorter deck is necessary for many courses. Side note: I probably never would have discovered slalo...

Set of four NOS Kryptonics c-62s up on Ebay:

Eric Moore

The front split-fire lives up to it's name - it does indeed have a split axle.

Eric Moore

I don't know which 4 you're counting for COSS, Gary, but I want in. I'm a 3 time Farmer (very bummed to miss last year) and I don't want to miss two in a row! Tway, TK, sign me up!

Eric Moore

Hey Ben, I find it hard to answer your poll because neither one of those statements is true for me. Some massed produced stuff is crap, but there are companies that pay attention to quality and mass produce some good stuff. When it comes to slalom, almost nothing is mass produced. Definitely not dec...

Eric Moore

Good idea Tway. I second the nomination. WesE, give me a good reason to come back out there and skate with you guys again!

Eric Moore

Far from it! The colorado scene is alive and well. (Witness 2 world champs in 2004 from Colorado - Mitchell and Fluitt). Communication among the Colorado crew generally takes place via email rather than this forum. But if there are any skaters looking to hook up with some CO slalom sessions, make yo...

Eric Moore

The stuff I've been drafting out isn't really front page stuff. But once I get it all pulled together (if I get it all pulled together) a link from the front page to my stuff would be nice. Or maybe a table of contents on the front page to the articles that I'm planning. The only thing on the front ...

Eric Moore

Jani, I didn't realize there was currently a static portion of this site. Is there a link to it somewhere that I missed? I'm a grad student so I have some webspace allotted by the university so my original intention was to host the content there. However it might make more sense to have it right her...

Eric Moore

Great work Wes! I've also been thinking about how it would be difficult for a newbie to sort through the mountains of posts looking for any particular bit of information. Since moving to Colorado I've become a newbie at a different but related sport - snowboarding. So I spent quite a bit of time loo...

Eric Moore

Hey Rick,
Are those dollar amounts in the race announcement entry fees or prize money?

Eric Moore

Thanks Dan!

Eric Moore

I'm looking for a bit of Seismic history. When were the German-made seismics discontinued? What widths did they come in? What spring colors/stiffnesses were available then? Apart from the internally-threaded axle, what other differences were there between the German-made seismics and the later compo...

Eric Moore

Hey Brian, Khiros are probably the closest thing to stims that are readily available right now. Though I think there are still a few places where stims can be found. The Radikal bushings are good too, though they need to be shaved down to fit in a standard truck. It's hard to say which Khiro would m...
