I need to check the site more often...

Good to see the lights are still on.

Adam Trahan

Great ideas John, I agree 100%

Online kit from any manufacture.

You are responsible for efforts in many disciplines, we used to write letters before the Internet...

You never give up even when the foolish overwhelm you...

John's advice is good.

Adam Trahan

Looks like you guys kept the light on, cool.

I check in from time to time and if you need help, I am available.

There has been a lot of water under the bridge since I started the site...

Anyway, I enjoy checking in from time to time.

Thanks for the mention guys.

Hello to all my old friends.

I am hang gliding and paragliding again, want to get a board in shape.

I'm looking for a cheap, gently used (not coned) soft set of cambrias.

Thanks,

adam

Adam Trahan

...damn, can't say I blame you. At one point, I was e-mailing back and forth to Groff, it was full on ultra-violence. He lied about some stuff but other things, he got straight to the point. I tried so hard to get him back here, best I could do was get him to sponsor the place for a month. That was ...

Adam Trahan

Adam where are you Bro? Which one? I got sick of being slammed at ncdsa.com by the people there who didn't know me from Adam I like the site in small doses and I hope it doesn't die but it matters not to me. I've been busy, got married, thinking about changing jobs, paragliding (AWESOME!), a little...

Jani,

There are two sides to the story.

I don't feel the need to tell mine again.

Personally, I hope that Gilmour's idea takes hold.

Have fun,

Adam Trahan

Hey.

I'm looking for some good used condition Cambria's in a softer durometer, I need the spacers too, I have bearings.

Contact me if you gottem.

I have been paragliding (UP Makalu2) and I totally dig it... I can't wait to go again and again. Soon as I build up time, it's off to Torrey and then to Makapuu with my paraglider and my foils for kiteboarding.

Hopefully I will get in some time skateboarding.

Adam Trahan

Cool, good hearing from you. My fiance' likes the skateboarding, paragliding, kitesurfing and she likes it that I put her first along with my children before any sport or hobby. This is my second mariage, the first one died because I lost who I was, I started growing up losing who I was and I change...

Adam Trahan

Good. We are all human the way I see it, all have faults, all have some positive attributes. Although I got the site up and running without Jani's direct help, if it wasn't for him, I would not have had the interest in doing so. When he decided to help me with the esthetic and the details, the thing...

Adam Trahan

Who is running the place John? I am still checking in at least two or three times a week. I'm glad to see that things are still progressing. The last that I had heard, Jack was going to "find someone else" and I've lost that thread and haven't looked for it yet. I see that I have administration righ...

Hey Chris,

Do you really think skateboarding is that serious?

I don't.

Have some fun.

Drink a Guinness.

Laugh at yourself once in a while, it's good for your soul.

All the best!

I can understand your amazement but the fact of the matter is that everytime I have voted, I had to show my voter registration card along with a picture I.D. before I was afforded the opportunity. If you want controversy, one only has to look at the last election where the vote count in Florida was ...

Adam Trahan

Thanks for the kudos Glenn. I'm hoping that Jack will take the lead soon. One of the community sites that I built up and handed off died shortly afterward because the new editor did not do anything. He didn't put anything into the site and it died. I don't want to see that happen here. It's sort of ...

Adam Trahan

Bittner, you have no idea how close I came to getting in contact with you. I have one confidant that is outside of Jack, John, Jani and Hans and I did talk to him about you as a choice. You were next in line Andy, this is my word. We would have had this long drawn out process of figuring out how to ...

Adam Trahan

Hans, Please remember, this is Jacks site. What I say forward is just my personal feelings, that's it. www.smallstreams.com is the site, it's huge. Like 30-50 people online at all times reading so many stories. It started out as my home page and people gravitated to it because we worked together on ...

Adam Trahan

Whoa, I enjoy talking politics with people of the same sort of interests. It can be done and in good style. Respect for each other is paramount. I went to see the movie Farenheit 9/11 and it disturbed me. So many things were said about our President. I don't know what is the truth, if ANY of it is, ...

Adam Trahan

Dave: No worries, thanks for the clarification. Jack, Jani, Hans, John et al: Jack owns the site, it is not mine and I have made no plans to just go away. If you find my opinion valid and you want to consider my advice, I am more than willing to continue to give it. Moving forward, it will mesh with...

Adam Trahan

Jani and Hans,

I don't have anything more to add.

I hope you guys work this out.

I'm thankful to everyone for the accolades, I'm sorry that you guys aren't happy, everyone deserves to be happy.

I have a board that I shaped/glassed made from a blank of carbon foam that was given to me by Dimitriji Milovitch (inventor of the Snowsurfboard) in 1979. I sent it to Gareth to be finished (I introduced him to Dimitriji), he sent it to Rick Howell and I paid Rick Howell to finish it and it's pretty...

Adam Trahan

Jani and Hans, yes you guys are friends, brothers of sorts. Friends fight, friends laugh, cry don't talk with each other blah blah blah and friends are good and family is too. The important thing here is that we are not seeing eye to eye, we have to agree to disagree. I held the trump card and it go...

Martin, Jack can delete the post but doing the surgery to "remove" his words from your account and implanting it to Michael's is impossible as the moderators do not know passwords, etc to manipulate accounts like that. There is the possiblilty to delete the post though, that would be good form. Jani...

Michael (Martin :D ), My apologies to you Michael Stride (Chris Linford et al) for loosing my way. I made a big mistake by forgetting where I came from. I'm not talking about Hans making the WRS, I believe that this could be a good thing, but of taking the liscense to endorse something that I had ab...

Thanks Rick, Dan, Steve, Jack, Tom, Mark, Chris, John, Robert, Steve, Martin and Nick ( Shaggy and the rest of you who have thanked me in e-mail). I appreciate your support. The site is growing no doubt. I stayed a little too long and got involved with some things (WRS) that I had no business in wit...

John, is this true? You meet him and he skated cones? How cool. I am registered as a republican and have m...

Adam Trahan

Jani, I am quite calm and have never cursed you. Above I used the "F" word on purpose, it sort of felt good as I have been holding back for quite some time. I know who I am and I don't have a problem discussing politics or anything else, it just has to be about respect, much of which you lack at thi...

Chris, Thank you for responding. Sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe in and I applaud your decision to speak up here. NO ONE should have had to read this. Thank you for welcoming Jack, this is what this thread is all about. He will do a good job. You only have to look at one's histor...

I need these questions answered: - Is this a community site? - Is this site owned by the community? - Who's property is the files stored on the server? - Why do community members pay the monthly fee, if someone owns the site in person. - Could this site be sold? - Why would a site like this need ad...

Thanks Dan, Rick, Jani, Mark, Tom, Steve, Jack et al. When it cools down here (in Arizona) I plan to start skateboarding (slalom and pool/bowl) more. It's really draining in August, the monsoon is in full swing, it's like 100 plus degrees every single day... I am getting married in November, current...

Adam Trahan

Hans, You use words here like "was a good thing" and preface the change in not such a good light. Those are your words, you own them, here are some of mine. You still have not welcomed Jack as the new editor/owner. You say alot but you say absolutely nothing at the same time . At one point, I wanted...

Adam Trahan

"I don't see it as something owned and run by a single person." I may be wrong, but I think Adam (a single person) started this site, and IMO what he does with it is up to him. As I said, I may be wrong....... if so I apologize. Dan, Thanks for your comment(s). Yes, you are right. 2 or 3 years ago ...

Adam Trahan

It is with great pleasure that I am able to make this announcement. The time is right for me and for you, the community, to see a continuance of this skateboard slalom specific web site, while at the same time, realizing a new editor, Jack Smith . No doubt I thought long and hard about my choices an...

Glenn, When you sign up for www.slalomskateboarder.com there is a checkbox for (I think it's) 13 years old. If you choose 13 years old or older and you are given a membership to the web site. If you are younger, then you are not able to progress. So, we should be using words that a 13 year old or ol...

Great reading. ...I knew there was a story in there, thanks for posting it. It's great to read about the history, the evolution of the sport. I like researching because when you get down to it, most things in skateboarding have already been done. Tangent: When I watch my kids play THUG (video game) ...

Hey guys, I'm here, just lurking... I've skated that ditch you are mentioning Steve, if it's the one I'm thinking, it's a hoot.

Adam Trahan

...although originally made for "radical" and pool skateboarding, some of the LUGE guys use Z-Roller trucks if I am not mistaken.

There are better choices for the same money for a slalom board if that is what you are building.
